  9. Re:Yes. It Is Legal. on Hacker vs. Counter-Hacker — a Legal Debate · · Score: 1

    unless that person is a proven murderer. Then, a normally illegal act is legal.

    Try getting out of a murder conviction by telling the judge your victim was a proven murderer, so killing the victim was legal.

    See how that works out.

  10. This should come as no surprise on Microsoft Complains That WebKit Breaks Web Standards · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because if there is one company that really stands up for standards, it's Microsoft.

    In fact, sometimes they pay millions to get them through the ISO.

  11. Re:MAFIAA popped the trial balloon. on GOP Study Committee Director Disowns Brief Attacking Current IP Law · · Score: 4, Funny

    (I'm confused as to whether the dollar signs indicate bribery or that $facts and $viewpoints are variables in a Perl/PHP script. :P )

  17. Re:I iron coffee all the time on Evidence for Unconscious Math, Language Processing Abilities · · Score: 1

    If I were, do you think my phrases would be this coherent? I'd be all about methodologies for synergistically levering core competencies.

  18. Re:Depends on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Add Forums To a Website? · · Score: 1

    Fair enough - if you go the "simplest possible" route, you're likely to experience only a handful of severe edge-case problems. But that still leaves you with a dead end if you do need to add features like file attachment or full-text search or administration privileges later, and find out your design was too primitive to be easily extendable.

    Also, BBcode parsing alone is an extremely complex problem if you care at all about document validity or accessibility. The illusion that you can simply throw a few regular expressions at the text will quickly be dispelled.

    The idea of "bloat" in an established project is basically "not invented here" writ large. Anything that seriously impacts performance (unlike, say, size of the code base, which is an irrelevant metric if the design is at all sane and loads code on-demand), will eventually get fixed.

  19. Re:Fair enough I suppose on UW Imposes 20-Tweet Limit On Live Events · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's between them and their employer, not the organizer of the event they're covering, isn't it?

    Can you imagine being asked to cover an event, but only allowed to write 6300 characters about it?

  20. I iron coffee all the time on Evidence for Unconscious Math, Language Processing Abilities · · Score: 1

    And also danube tulips and actualize green colorless radishes furiously.

    What's so nonsensical about that?

  21. New Zealand on Mega Finds New Home, Dotcom Says · · Score: 1

  22. Re:If there was a Bad at Math Map... on Secession Petitions Flood White House Website · · Score: 4, Interesting

    then back to the center to have a chance in the final election ... I don't think anyone could have done that job any better than Mitt did

    I'm aware I don't watch the same news as most Republicans, but I got the reverse impression. Before he won the primaries he actually did look more moderate than Rick Santorum and Rick Perry. After winning the primaries he picked Ryan, got recorded with the "47%" remark, spoke out more strongly against gay marriage and Planned Parenthood.

    Was honestly wondering why he seemed to feel the need to appease the far right instead of the center after already winning the primaries. My only guess was that he feared the far right might get too disgusted with the election to vote if he came off as moderate.

  23. Good luck with that. on Secession Petitions Flood White House Website · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm conflicted whether Obama's response should be:

    Yeah yeah, don't let the door hit you.

    or

    Why don't you try and see how that works out for you.
