This is clearly a conspiracy to keep people from seeing "An Inconvenient Truth", the new Al Gore movie. George Bush and his oil company cronies don't want the truth to get out. ManBearPig! I'm Serial.
Most of the geekiest people here at Slashdot lack the necessary tools to hold a decent conversation; if two slashdotters marry and produce offspring, the result would be dangerous to society!
Just because they've legalized gay marriage doesn't mean that two dudes are going to be reproducing anytime soon. There might be a cross-dresser or two on slashdot, but definitely no actual women.
Our different worldviews are pretty obvious I guess. "Rude" - Defines your actions in the context in which they affect others. "Stress-relieving" - Defines actions only as they relate to yourself without regard for the feelings of others.
I read articles and discussions online because I'm interested to see what people think about certain issues, to learn, or to offer my opinion.
As to the humor question: In my experience, the ratio of people who think they're funny to the number of people who are actually funny is at least 100:1 on places like Slashdot. It's definitely true that humor is in the eye of the beholder to some degree, but many out there who would claim that they are trying to be "funny" clearly aren't. Vandalizing Wikis, for example, clearly isn't funny and they can really only work as long as people treat each other with respect.
Just because you have the right to say anything you want online, doesn't mean that you should. I totally agree with the claim that people are much more rude and nasty online then in real life. This is *not* a good thing.
I've just completed a Master's project on incorporating Reputation Management into BitTorrent. The idea is that if you give file slices first to people who are likely to stay connected and share, it will increase the overall bandwidth of the system and eventually increase everyone's performance. My simulation results show an average speedup of 5% for everyone in the network (good citizens get up to 15% speedup). I don't have a website, but if anyone wants to contact me about getting my research into the spec, I'd be happy to send you the paper. clenfest@yahoo.com
If you want to say all immigrants of Chinese descent are traitors, why don't you come out and say it directly? Then maybe the people in the forum will see you for the rascist bastard you are.
Yeah, when you disagree with someone, call them a racist. That makes you look so enlightened.
That's not what the law is talking about. It says that judges should disqualify themselves from a case if they are related (i.e. have it assigned to another court). I don't think any reasonable person would question the objectivity of Rehnquist in this case. Having a son who works for Microsoft (even in the case function of a anti-trust lawyer) is hardly the same as having a son who is on trial.
Perl might be easy to write, but it's heinous to read (especially if it's someone else's code). Therefore I'd recommend going with Python for anything but a really quick project. Also, Python has excellent threading support.
Ok, I'll probably get flamed for this, but here are my overall sentiments on the subject. No where in the constitution does it say that we have a right to privacy. For example, the police can get a warrant and search your house if they have probable cause. I think that email should be the same way, I certainly don't think that any law enforcement agencies should be allowed to look through your stuff without cause, but I do think that if they suspect you of a crime, they should be able to obtain a warrant and examine your personal information, whether or not you have encryted your emails. I don't believe that we should let criminals get away with telling people things just because they did it on the internet. I know geeks don't like the idea that authorities can see what they've been doing (probably because what they've been doing is disgusting), but the only justification they have is this mythical "right to privacy" that doesn't even really exist. Anyway, that's all I have to say about that.

Ok, if you think that hell is torture by God you are mistaken. It is complete seperation from God. It is what life would be like without any of God's gifts. Incidentally, you can get out of it for free by accepting Jesus as the Lord of your life.

I could not agree more with this post. However, you should not assume that meaning is the reason for belief, it is just a nice side benefit.

Here here. Much more eloquent then my post.

I should also mention that I built a client based on the standard BitTorrent v4.0.1 client lest you think it is only theoretical.

Actually we don't live in a democracy. If we did, then he could vote against it. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but we live in a republic.
I don't know many employers that hire history majors to do much of anything.
