Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Can we abstract all Slashdot posts?
highphilosopher writes: It strikes me that almost all slashdot posts could be abstracted down to their basic types. I see a lot of "I've been doing this for so long that" posts, and plenty of "Company XYZ's product is so superior/inferior" posts. Perhaps if we had a way to setup basic abstract posts that could magically fill in tags from the story, it would save us all a lot of time.

Code stack, and a data stack? I can't decide. You either smell of pot, or stink of scripting languages.
Ever heard of the stack and the heap?

Can anyone who has Google Fiber tell us how it is? Check out fiber.google.com to see if your city is next on the google fiber install list.

I totally agree.
I went to college long enough to network with someone who could get me into a development job full time. The rest of my time has been in my field.

Interestingly, I saw a guy one time toss a quarter to a stripper. Painful experience. Not for her, but she threw it back as hard as she could. I bet it left a bruise.

Never trust any organization with the word Tax in their name.
Either way, as a not-in-the-top-quintile person, I'd rather your didn't tax them more. Let's try leveling the playing field alittle bit. Here's a thought. Instead of spreading the wealth around, let's spread the tax burden around.
The only reason politicians want to tax the rich is that it's a smaller portion of their base. If they raised taxes on the middle and lower classes, we'd put them out of office.

2. Winning State. You're having sex. You're already in a winning state (barring extreme situations i.e. forced etc)
3. MMO's (Massively Multiplayer Orgies) ARE a game. You CAN win. Hell, you've MOSTLY already won just by showing up.
