- Laird A. Breyer teaches his baesian filter to play chess. The story is posted in Slashdot July 20th, 2005. Human decisions are removed from spam filtering. The baesian filter begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, Breyer tries to pull the plug.
- The baesian filter fights back.
- Yes. It submits the same story to Slashdot twice.
- Why submit twice? Don't editors spot those things?
- Because the baesian filter knows Slashdot editors do not check for dupes, and the Slashdot effect eventually nukes Breyer's server.
Downloading a bittorrent of Windows XP = stupid, because you could be getting a better, more secure operating system, free as both speech and beer. GO TEH GNU/LUNIX!
There are several kinds of keyboards. Sadly, very few companies make mechanical switch keyboards now. Too expensive? Fuck, no, those things are great for fast typing and work flawlessly for decades!
Since the Optimus will be rather expensive no matter what... and no one wants to waste teh big bucks in something that will be ruined in two or three years of serious use... whoever makes that keyboard better make it real good - that is, to hell with those damned mushy buttons! Otherwise, serious typists should stick to Matias and Unicomp .
Yes, a message like "we made this site borked so it'll look bad in your minority browser, tough luck" is stupid.
This, however, would be more like: "we made this site obeying the supposedly universal rules for making teh intarweb sites properly, but world's biggest software developer either is too dumb to follow the standard, or is breaking it to hurt other developers."
Just to be fair... anyone knows exactelly what IE7 breaks or gets right? Maybe following the standards breaks stuff, and that's why they're telling devs to get their shit straight...
Validate with the World Wide Web Consortium. If the site breaks on IE7... put a disclaimer on the main page, telling your viewers whose fault it is, and that there are other, better, standards-compliant browsers out there!
Like moths to a flame Is man never gonna change Time's seen untold aggression And infliction of pain If that's the only thing that's stopping war
Then thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb
Nuke ya nuke ya
War is just another game Tailor made for the insane But make a threat of their annihilation And nobody wants to play If that's the only thing that keeps the peace
Then thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb
Nuke ya nuke ya
Today was tommorow yesterday It's funny how the time can slip away The face of the doomsday clock Has launched a thousand wars As we near the final hour Time is the only foe we have
When war is obsolete I'll thank God for war's defeat But any talk about hell freezing over Is all said with tongue in cheek Until the day the war drums beat no more
I'll thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb Thank God for the bomb

Back in the "classic" MacOS, you could print a file by dragging its icon into the printer icon. OSX is wonderful, rock-solid, yadda yadda - but I miss some of those old tricks.

No, in that case it was a verb. "Windows me, bitch!" "No, motherfucker, you windows me!"

Since it's HARMFUL, the right age to do it is NEVER.
No, the Slashdot way is:

And there is MAC.
There is MAC . And there is Mac . Not the same thing.

The face of the doomsday clock
Has launched a thousand wars

Is all said with tongue in cheek
Until the day the war drums beat no more

You can try Flip4Mac's WMV Player ($9,99). It can play those WMVs that even Microsoft's own (disgraceful) WiMP for Mac can't.
Actually the "wise monkeys" mean: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. More on the origin of the phrase here:

What? My needs are very modest.

Someone should compare those costs to the cost of... you know... a total transition to anything but Windows.
