    graphene has been used for over a century, stacked and bonded in pencils

  3. even more rough edges on Damian Conway On Perl 6 and the Philosophy of Programming · · Score: 4, Funny

    Larry went crazy, incorporating everything and the kitchen sink into Perl 6 and continues even now.

    Imagine a swiss army knife with fold-out basketball, urinal, blender, spark plug gap tester, hog nose tag plier, etc.

    what a farce, HURD may be still be floundering after a longer time but Perl 6 has gone in more directions

  4. Re:syntax on Damian Conway On Perl 6 and the Philosophy of Programming · · Score: 1

    I've done perl development for years, it is a mess

  5. from the article: "A separate test series was performed using exclusively Cannabis users, seventy percent of whom after five minutes pressed the button repeatedly while giggling hysterically, then after ten minutes pounded on the door to the test chamber demanding munchies"

    rubbish

    not a shred of proof any personal comm devices were responsible for those incidents

    your bringing up Malaysian airlines is just laughable

  7. Re:syntax on Damian Conway On Perl 6 and the Philosophy of Programming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    wrong, the alternative is not a COBOL or VB like syntax, talk about fallacy of asserting the consequent.

    plenty of well designed languages don't have the sigil mess, it's a sign of scatter-brainedness and design by urban sprawl

  8. Re: on Damian Conway On Perl 6 and the Philosophy of Programming · · Score: 1, Insightful

    or even Python 2.6 and Python 2.7, they're different langauges.

    that immaturity regarding backward compatibility is the big problem with open source, Linux is even worse with the fluid kernel ABI

  9. meanwhile in the rest of the world on FAA's Ruling On Smartphones During Takeoff Has Had Little Impact · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've been in other parts of the world that have always allowed continuous cell use on planes, and so planes fell out of the sky like hail. oh wait, nothing happened

    do you hold your pizza delivery boy to that licensing standard?

  11. Re:Thou shalt not kill on U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Religious Objections To Contraception · · Score: 1

    sure you can just pay for all the people in the military who do not kill, which is 99.9%+ of them

  12. Re:Gee Catholic judges on U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Religious Objections To Contraception · · Score: 1

    "the conversation" might be expanded to other things later, but right now it has specific scope

  13. Re:Not the same. on U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Religious Objections To Contraception · · Score: 1

    fallacy upon fallacy. in plenty of countries one can get birth control over the counter. if one makes a person ill, they can try a different one. The risks and complications of pregnancy far, far outweigh the risks of a person who gets birth control medication without a doctor. That's just another big pharmy lie you believe.

    sorry pal, but the IPCC predictions being back pedalled on were "the averages" of their report

  17. Re:Swedish farmers are wise on Swedish Farmers Have Doubts About Climatologists and Climate Change · · Score: -1, Troll

    very funny spin, spin-doctor

  18. Re:Swedish farmers are wise on Swedish Farmers Have Doubts About Climatologists and Climate Change · · Score: 0

    except those "certain specific points" that had "carefully restatement" were the most sensational and dire predictions

    reallity is trumping hysteria, get over it

    haha, that's way too slow (and still buggy beta grade to boot) to run games

  20. Re:Corporate Brianwashed Fools on Workaholism In America Is Hurting the Economy · · Score: 1

    most salaried jobs don't have overtime in this country, people are hired from a budget and there is no negotiating overtime outside that budget

    you lose the argument, reality trumps your land of unicorns and colored ponies

  21. Re:Kernel bloat on Are the Hard-to-Exploit Bugs In LZO Compression Algorithm Just Hype? · · Score: 2

    this compression code is very tiny in the binaries. most of the kernel is device drivers

  22. Swedish farmers are wise on Swedish Farmers Have Doubts About Climatologists and Climate Change · · Score: 0, Troll

    patiently watching reality always trumps agenda driven hysteria

    meanwhile the IPCC has been furiously back pedaling on its more dire predictions since 2000
