I would tend to agree - I drink more coffee than that before 9am. I drink coffee all day long, even into the night. I have done so for more than 25 years with no...baseless paranoia
Do programmers also loose karma for being fast and lose with their spelling?

They can be docked karma that way, but when they're not sure about something, they can cover their asses and submit anonymously. That way, if something totally whooshes over their heads, they're in the clear. They can later correct their own dumbass mistakes unanonymously and whore karma instead of losing it. What a perfect system!
Huh. Too bad Slashdot doesn't have a system like that.
False False - distcc does not require the same version of the OS. I spread compilation across four machines. The host was Gentoo, one of the other machines was Gentoo, and the other two were machines I just stuck the latest Knoppix CD in.
Gentoo machines were using gcc 4.1.x i586, Knoppix had gcc 4.1.x i386. All 32-bit. The resulting build was lightning fast and error-free. This was an app not the kernel.
I dare this guy to read just one day of LKML traffic, and slog through the Mad Max-style landscape, where open warfare and mass hysteria are always simmering just beneath the surface of Bartertown, suppressed only by Linus and his lieutenants.
In this analogy Linus Torvalds is either the Tina Turner character or Master/Blaster. Take your pick.
There was a pub in Galway called The Drum that used to have "Duff Sunday". Sunday nights they'd show Simpsons episodes on a big projector screen, sell cheap pints of Duff(really Carlsberg) and Flaming Homers(a fuzzy navel with a sparkler). They still do it for all I know, but I haven't been through Galway in a few years.
If you see spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a world of warcraft character as a perfectly reasonable thing to do, then you were meant to disregard my post, as I was only talking to people with at least as much sense as a bag of hammers. I do apologize.

The World Initiate is a shadowy organization similar to the Illuminati.
Duh.

So what kind of paranoia did you experience?
Like the Fing-Longer?
Is 2009 the year of the Flash?
Replace Flash with Flasher and it sounds like my freshman year of college! Bam!

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this!
Granted, but it didn't have much to do with the short story either.
No, it was not. The movie references Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics and has Susan Calvin as a character.
Volunteers? Starship? Rock on!!!
Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Though technically they were still an airplane at the time.
Sound more like a case of "I didn't get it so it wasn't funny."

I think you missed my point. If x really is greater than y then the media should report that x is greater than y.
You've got it backwards. x is greater than y, therefore the media says x > y.
Exactly. Candidate A does x positive things. Candidate B does y positive things.
Sometimes x > y.
This is also known as "math".

No no, that's Caucasus.
We're blaming mountains now, right?
I'm going to start compiling a list of all the things RMS thinks is a trap. So far we have:
cloud computering

Java:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html
Then the usual stuff; shaving, bathing, etc.
And I meant to mention that the article is calling Java a trap too.
http://www.linux.com/articles/35369
And the article is, how about that, marketing for GNU. RMS is right again!
Nay, they should measure rods to the hog's head!

A stack pointer, not THE stack pointer. Just the generic data structure from CS 201.
There's already a gay internet cafe near my house called Guy-Fi, and I think they're gonna be pissed.
Can a brother get a serif over here?
