Yeah... i did a school speech on that in public school. Everyone else did speeches about their summer vacations or their dogs and such.

Back then i was a bit weird... now i'm mildly autistic (although my wife says i'm getting weirder as i get older).

Weird? Never let a less intelligent society attach an adjective to you.

So, why do people worry about their online visibitlity where you can be a million different people, when everyone and their dog knows your offline person and what it is doing?

Well here in Fat-Lazy-America, people like to sit around and spy on people from the comfort of their computer. No American in their right mind would physically spy on someone, they might get into shape and live longer.

True. But even if you type looking at the keyboard, you can quickly look up and see what your searches are so far and if you spelled anything wrong. Than you can easily backspace and correct. This is also helpful when you are searching for something but you do not know what the keywords are. I think users will see after using instant search for a while, it is a bit faster.

One thing that doesn't work is the site: feature. If you start to specify site:, instant search is turned and wants you to submit your search...even after a valid domain is typed.

...when did it become such a problem? Oh, right - when schools started replacing c with Java

AGREED!

I missed out on C by a couple of years and Java is my first language. Because of various blogs, curiosity and /. I always try and think in terms of memory and the stack.

Oh, and becoming proficient in C is on my todo list

Comment Re:Everything You Need to Know About Niggers (Score 0, Offtopic) 322

Well put. It doesn't have to do with what country someone is from or the color of their skin. Everything is about culture and our environment. We are all humans and we are shaped by our environment. Genetics might play a small role in the beginning and throughout someones life, but environment is the big picture.

Then neither should macro-evolution. Many of it's claims have been falsified, yet it's still taught.

WRONG! Read the comments above again.

jridley stated, "Science progresses when previous theories are shown to be incorrect or incomplete, and are revised or replaced."

If a claim has been falsified (you need to cite one), then it has been revised, changed, modified, etc. That is the idea here. If science is wrong, it will admit it and continue to explore what is correct.

So where does that put someone who wants to download unlimited media at under $20 a month, drink a beer on Sunday after mowing the lawn, smoke a joint when on vacation, go to a gay friends wedding, and stop getting raped on my income taxes?

Libertarian of course.

...Walk down the street and pick out a hundred random people and ask them if they are interested in programming open source. They don't even say "if you are interested in free open source software" they say "open source programming." Do you think you'd even find one person interested in actually programming open source?

And even pick out 100 random programmers and how many would answer yes?
