  1. Re:What's non-typed Scheme? on DS Games for Pre-readers? · · Score: 1

    Very funny. The paper's about a static typing system developed for PLT Scheme that apparently (I can't comprehend the mathematical symbology.) allows Scheme macros to work with static typing and lets small programs be type-checked with just a few annotations.

  2. Re:What's the big deal? on Questionable Data Mining Concerns IRC Community · · Score: 1

    You mean I'm no longer bound by morality or ethics because I bought a copy of "Bender's Big Score" to support the show?

    WAHHOO!

    You do realize she could just be an elderly first-grader with a birthday late in the calendar year (and therefore early in the school year)?

  4. Re:She's only beginning to read at age 6?! on DS Games for Pre-readers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't worry about the girl -- some people just let their children wait until school to learn to read. I learned to read in first grade at age 5, but today I'm minimizing... let's see... ah: "The Design and Implementation of Typed Scheme" to post on Slashdot.

  5. Re:Then what's the point of Gaming? on On the Moral Consequences of Gaming · · Score: 1

    And, of course, the sheer joy of doing things the laws of physics ordinarily prohibit.

    Or things not prohibited by physics but still incredibly unlikely (think most hard sci-fi).

  6. Re:"Begging the question" on New Nerve Gas Antidotes · · Score: 1

    So you want to debate whether Israel is the rightful homeland of the Jewish people in a thread off an article about a nerve-gas antidote?

    Yeah, you're a troll. Go take a class in Israeli history.

  7. TRRROOOOLLLLLLL!!!! on New Nerve Gas Antidotes · · Score: 1

    Troll in the dungeons!

    But yeah, like the Israeli said, we Jews have this paranoid fixation on staying alive. The Israelis also have this thing for living in the rightful homeland of the Jewish people. When combined, you get the government giving civilians anti-nerve-gas tablets.

  8. Re:It's all about over-hype and sheeple on Why You Can't Find a Wii for Christmas · · Score: 1

    You mean Metroid, Zelda, Smash Bros., Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Sports, Mario Party, Sonic, Nights into Dreams (DECEMBER 18, BABY!), Kirby, and every dead Nintendo franchise from the old SNES days that they might care to resurrect (Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Kid Icarus, Clayfighter, etc.).

    They've got plenty of material to keep going for a while.

  9. Re:Entrenched habits? on Colleges Outsourcing Email To MS Live, Google · · Score: 1

    I've only had one semester here, but the only class I've seen with truly low academic standards was a general-education course in the arts designed for non-majors. The math, science, and computing courses are plenty hard (especially because they hire good researchers to teach CS instead of good teachers*).

    And yet the university makes its best effort to turn our every last fee/tuition dollar into some kind of amenity or service (so they can justify the fees).

    * -- In fact, why don't they maybe cut back their spending on campus police (who everyone hate due to their random, unconstitutional room searches) and create a special pay bonus the profs who actually teach well?

  10. Re:Sensationalist FUD on U.S. House Says the Internet is Terrorist Threat · · Score: 1

    You must approach the problem scientifically. Every country has young people, this is not unique to France. But we do not see young Canadians, or young Americans, or young Chinese "destroying things" regardless of how much they may want to do so. What is the reason that in France (or Holland) young people feel free to do what they want, kill people for fun, and have government negotiators coming and begging them to stop, or else they will beg some more? Well would you look at that, the French are cheese-eating surrender monkeys!

    Please, please no reader input to articles, no matter how well they karma whore. Do you really want Slashdot to turn into Digg and Reddit?

  14. Re:What do you expect on a free service? on Facebook Users Complain of New Ad-Based Tracking · · Score: 1

    And this means you've forgotten the basic point of Facebook -- to put your cell-phone number and/or student email address on your Facebook profile where someone can search for them by your Real Human Name (and any other Real Human Info they might know about you), but still only actually read them if you give your go-ahead.

    Actually, the other guy had it right. "=" is the equality operator while ":=" performs assignment.

    Idiot C monkeys.

  17. Re:Fortunately... on UN Says Tasers Are a Form of Torture · · Score: 1

    Not so much an enemy of the U.S. specifically as a corrupt forum that dictators from ignorant, poor, diseased countries use to censure and mock anyone with riches or power (America, Western Europe, Canada, and especially Israel), especially if they can get another rich country/region (read: Western Europe) on their side to do it.

    Oh, and a few fools in Norway -- which, thanks to its oil wealth, hasn't had to have a reality check for quite some time -- believe the U.N. will help bring world peace.

    The U.N. is the ultimate example of democracy going so far that it gives way to demogaugery (spelling?), and while it serves its purpose of preventing large-scale wars rather well, it serves no other purpose even adequately.

    Holy shit. I didn't realize anyone actually believed in the bull-loaded propaganda piece otherwise known as the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

    Of course it's your right to have me give up my hard-earned money so your kid can have a Special Education for their learning disability in a Sexual-Preference-Neutral School.

    Greedy bastard UN.
