OK, I'm thinking that what springs to mind for ME when I hear ML is not the same as what springs to mind for you guys... I think Machine Language and, as an old school kinda guy, I think "How is coding Machine Language hell?"
Then, I Google up some Caml to try and figure out what the heck you guys are talking about, dig up a little bit of source code and find that it is, in fact, an ugly ugly thing.
heh. Didn't read the article, did you? To add insult to injury, the son of a bitch was a jock in high school... so I suspect you are incorrect about his sex life.
There's a really big difference though... I fully support an individual website's RIGHT to control what goes on their own website. If you come onto my webforum and start spouting of crap that pisses me off, I will ban you so quick it'll make your head spin. Yes, I am censoring you, but I am not violating anyone's right to free speech because I am not a government entity.
I do not, however, support the government telling me what I can and can't have on my website. That is the censorship we need to be concerned about.
Who cares if Slashdot bans you from posting when the groupmind decides you suck? If that many people decide you suck, then you probably do.
This is not entirely correct... As long as pirates exist, they will utilize some form of technology to carry out their piracy, but it is incorrect to say, as your statement implies, that it has always been and will always be P2P. P2P is just one of the current common methods. Who knows what new forms it might take in the future.
...is what demogroup they were before they went commercial, because that's the only crowd I can see with the drive and desire to create something like this. One of my group's coders still gets a stiffy for software rendering, and I know he's not the only demoscener that does.
Corrupt politicians are only the ones you don't agree with.
I wasn't aware that there was anything BUT corrupt politicians at any level above minor local politics. It requires corruption to get to that level, the game is inherently nasty.
nominal human code of ethics (ie thou shall not kill) would have been if there were some creatures alive today positioned between modern humans and chipanzees in terms of intellect
There was no shortage of dickheads who believed their slaves had no souls, and could be killed with impunity - and the differences were a lot less significant than they would be in this case. I'm pretty sure it would still translate into "Thou shalt not kill (your own kind)" just like it already does.
In a recent press release, Cheney was quoted as saying "Bwahahahahahahah, puny mortals! Henceforth, I shall be known as Sauron Cheney! BOW TO ME, WORMS!"
I am not an AOL user, but last I heard the online service was still using IE and this wasn't going to change any time in the near future. I honestly see little to no reason whatsoever that this is a good thing for AOL.
Honestly, I'm not seeing a whole lot of benefit to this move for anyone other than the user.
will allow users to pirate wholesale the music from the musicians except the musicians will have even less clout to protect their work
OK, so where the musicians were making next to nothing before, they will now be making next to nothing.
What the RIAA is afraid of is that musicians will GIVE AWAY THEIR MUSIC and make their living off of touring... because the musician's primary living is ALREADY from touring - but the RIAA's cash cow is CD sales.
I'm not sure if you're deliberately being obtuse or not, but the musicians whose bottom line will actually be affected by P2P are few and far between...

They won't be backlit, so this shouldn't be an issue.
No, no, no... The music was intelligently designed by this powerful entity I like to call "The Composer."
Big difference being that MTV has the budget to actually send THEIR castmates into space.

Wow... if you're havin' trouble with a paperclip, you probably really need to look into stress relief.

What's funniest about that post is that -40 is the same for both temperature scales.
Oooooo, that's a good point... I'll be sure to point that out to him next time he's on that kick.
Although I think his response is likely to be "but not software I wrote."

Hand = boring.
I think you may be too late, that patent is pending.
Or just resort to trolling, since your patent would only cover SILLY posts. heheheheh

True, but Golems from Folklore hold no relationship at all to Gollum.

Dude, in Internet time that's like 2 or 3 thousand years! The dude must be a vampire or somethin' to pull it off.
That explains why Linus always comes off as too uptight to have really started all this... no beard.
Maybe that's why the whole Linux trademark fiasco is going on... Linus is finally demonstrating to the world that he really doesn't have a beard.
(FWIW, I get regular comments on my beard making it look like I'm one of the ZZTop guys, so I guess that makes me a big geek. heheheh)
It is a toy.

I for one praise our beloved Google overlords.
