    It was human stupidity and greed, that wasn't accounted for in the formula. fixed it for you

  4. Re:Intellectual nightmare on Was Earth a Migratory Planet? · · Score: 1

    Was gonna mod this down, but i'll reply instead. Sure there are lies about global warming. That said, what do you, personally, think what variables are responsible for climate of earth? Are you making the case that humans have affected exactly NONE of these variables? Because, that sounds kinda far fetched ;P

  10. Scalability - Government style on Disaster Strikes Norwegian Government Web Portal · · Score: 2

    Wanna guess how the norwegian government decided how traffic shoul be scaled? Come on, guess They made a limit of 300 000 logins, before making the main web page redirect to a page saying "sorry the lines are full pleas pick a number" - it, apparantly , seemed more logical than scaling the hardware :P

  11. lost in transport? on Garden Gnome Tests Earth's Gravity · · Score: 1

    how much was lost during transport?

  12. Re:searching a phonebook with 10,000 names on D-Wave Announces Commercially Available Quantum Computer · · Score: 2

    well actually i doesn't really matter, you have mergesort (nlogn) and binarysearch(nlogn) for classic logarithmic search. So, yes, for an unsorted dataset the sort&search time would be 2nlogn

  13. Re:Yeah...I don't like this. on Julian Assange To Run For Australian Senate · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah! right! And you are also confused about the drones in pakistan, when they crash a terrorist wedding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan). But good thing that the U.S could make us those magic drones, somehow, whoever those drones kill, they magically become terrorists post mortem. So, these drones are only used for antiterrorist purposes!

  17. Re:In some respect, I agree. on Why We Should Teach Our Kids To Code · · Score: 0

    yeah because programming languages are completely different from eachother they have no common ground like arrays,types,objects,boolean logic, structured text, loops, functions, libraries and so on and on and on... besides NOT teaching programming in highschool because not everyone will 'get' it, would be like saying we shouldn't teach math because not everyone will 'get' it. you can swap math for almost any subject btw...

  18. Re:Don't know about LibreOffice on Code Cleanup Culls LibreOffice Cruft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So in a bright moment of usefullness i actually posted your complaint as an 'enhancement' bug report on libreoffice, probably more useful than posting it on slashdot ;P ref: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44780

  23. Re:Quorum looks a lot like Pascal on Is Perl Better Than a Randomly Generated Programming Language? · · Score: 0

    well there's syntax and there's programming guess what python people prefer to argue/think/bikker about? So you can say that python was a way to get all those OCD people away from the discussion boards. It worked perfectly =) Doesn't mean python is perfect, its still far from pseudo code. Oh and once you understand WHAT you are programming, programming the same thing in c/c++/perl/cobol/whatever becomes a much more trivial task
