    Biological systems are going to be more robust and easier to "program" than software/hardware systems simply because all the beta testing has been carried out over hundreds of millions, if not a billion years of evolution.

    I think you meant:

    Biological systems are going to be more robust and easier to "program" than software/hardware systems simply because they have been touched by His noodly apendage.

    There's a drop-down list to select the format you want dates to have.

    Next thing you know, we'll have flying squirrels.

    And, after that, Flying Pigs!


    And following that, thousands of slashdotters get dates.

    From reading the article, the two photographs were taken at the same time from opposite angles.

    What's a person with multiple degrees in "Thermodynamics, chemistry and electrical engineering" doing installing water heaters for a living?

    Because the fast-food industry considers him over-qualified?

    You sound a lot like Tom Cruise, another ignorant fool who doesn't understand the first thing about psychiatry or medicine.

    Are you sure? I remember reading somewhere that he has studied the history of psychiatry.

    I find it in poor taste to even make jokes about eugenics

    I apologize. I have a tasteless sense of humor.

    but did not want to offend the original poster.

    I appreciate your civility, especially considering the personally offensive nature of the subject matter. It is refreshing to see courtesy is not yet completely extinct on Slashdot.

    No. He's not an idiot. The definition of eugenics is: The study of hereditary improvement of the human race by controlled selective breeding.

    That's really admirable of the Uncoverer--advising the borderline retarded to take apart their TVs. It's easy enough to fry yourself messing with a TV if you *do* know what you're doing.

    Giving advice likely to kill the stupid is called passive eugenics.

    If Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel, who did Cain and Abel marry to have kids?

    Well we can narrow it down to either Eve or gay marriage :)

  16. Re:abuse of power on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    Why is CmdrTaco complaining about Blizzard okay to you, but people complaining about CmdrTaco doing it on Slashdot's front page not? In both cases, it's users complaining about the product and its leaders.

    One difference:
    Taco didn't post comments Blizzard's site.

    He posted it on a site he had a hand in creating.

    A more appropriate comparison (in my opinion, at least) would be one of the users of Slashdot posting an entry on their own site talking about an editor posting what they perceive as an inappropriate article on the front page of a popular news aggregate they frequent. And explaining why they felt it was inappropriate.

    Or, maybe a better question, how does one such as yourself get through the day without getting the shit beaten out of them for saying such ignorant things?

    Because the comment is percieved to be against one of the few remaining demographics allowing anti-group comments.

    Also acceptable:

    It is the nature of christians to explore, conquer, and colonize.

    or

    It is the nature of males to explore, conquer, and colonize.

    Hear hear! (Or is that "here here"?)

    Hear Hear!.

    A good way to remember it is when you agree with something someone said, you want other people to hear them. So you tell people within earshot to hear him, hear him.

    Have a pleasant day.
