I'm going to become rich and famous after I invent this ACME buzzword-detection-device. No seriously, I think the biggest Web 2.0 threat for 'financial services' might be the paychecks from the fried-air department.
I don't think the number of characters you can enter per minute (or any measure for typing speed) is related to the development time of some piece of software. They might be weakly related but having the ability to type lightning-fast will not help you make the deadline.
I really don't see why we should build this moon base at all.
1) The moon isn't in any significant way closer to anything interesting (e.g. Mars).
2) The idea of using this moon base as a kind of stepping-stone on our way to other planets is very stupid at least . For example, we can't assemble rockets at the moon base, so these rockets should be brought there first (very complex, landing etc.) So why don't fly them to other planets directly?
Ok, you guys all have some opinion about the current patent system. I was just wondering, does anyone have a better idea? I can read patents-are-the-root-of-all-evil posts here on/. every single day, but when the whole system that much wrong, at least some of you should be able to propose a reasonable alternative?
I'm not a dietary expert etc..
But isn't it possible to get some sort of vitamine deficit by (repeatedly) eating rabbit-meat.
Not very sure, thought I read about it some time ago.
Counterexamples:
Drinking alcohol => Rich drink more alcohol => Rich can afford better circumstances => Rich live longer
Drinking alcohol => 'Relax' people drink more alcohol => Relax people have lower blood pressure => Relax people live longer
etc.
Ok, the 'joke' was a bit stupid but I put the == operator there deliberately because the code would still compile but it would make no sense when executed in the voting machine.
I still don't see how to check the counting of votes in a voting machine (isn't it a constitutional right to check the counting of votes in any election?). How about publishing the source code? How can I be sure the right source code is in the machine? I will give $100 to the first one who can convince me that the following code is NOT in a voting machine:
if (vote == VOTE_DEMOCRAT && 54321 * rand () % 12345 == 0)
vote == VOTE_REPUBLICAN;
At the Radboud University of Nijmegen (The Netherlands) we have about the same number of first-year psychology students as in the COMPLETE science department. Still wondering why the doors to their buildin are always open..;)
Slashdot Mirror
Most of the internet says Elton John is also destroying music
The original idea was as stupid as forcing slashdot posters to check their analogies in a dictionary.

Ehm .. are we in the process of creating a nuclear fusion reactor (ITER)? Let's try to create a good battery first!!
