Sadly, idiots (of which the the folks that codeed Apache are an example) nothing new. Their mediocrity has long suffocated us bright folk, many of whom are too timid to call these people what they are: pathetic failures. Others, like yourself, are not.

Achieving perfection is a bit harder than merely rewriting flawed code. I guess people have to experience humiliation over and over again...

Because there's no surer way to get laid than to hit a sports bar?

Another reason not to go to sports bars.

A story of my own. I set my SSID to "flancrest enterprises" and a few days later I noticed one of my neighbors had changed theirs to "CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet". True story.

Quiet, I'm making a point about how retarded Slashdot is.

A company's actions, as long as they serve its profit motive, are beyond reproach. This article is about a union, which is a whole other story!

Some excerpts from this nauseating, yet derivative, "manifesto":

Time is of the essence. We have only a few decades to consolidate a sufficient level of resistance before our major cities are completely demographically overwhelmed by Muslims. Ensuring the successful distribution of this compendium to as many Europeans as humanly possible will significantly contribute to our success.

If a man of the 1950s were suddenly introduced into Western Europe in the 2000s, he would hardly recognise it as the same country. He would be in immediate danger of getting mugged, carjacked or worse, because he would not have learned to live in constant fear. When the children came home in the afternoon and told them they had to go through a metal detector to get in the building, had been given some funny white powder by another kid and learned that homosexuality is normal and good, the parents would be uncomprehending.

Ladies should be wives and homemakers, not cops or soldiers, and men should still hold doors open for ladies. Children should not be born out of wedlock. Glorification of homosexuality should be shunned. Jurors should not accept Islam as an excuse for murder.

Don't even need to read the rest, really.

Stopped caring at "cyber weaponry".

Can Progress Survive Austerity as a Foregone Conclusion?

As a percentage of the old price, the new price is outrageous. This is like charging $0.75 instead of $0.15 for text messages and then defending it by saying that "to most people, it's like getting extra cheese on their burger".

Why waste time with Linux when there's LoseThos?

When you get a sec can you jot down that math for us, I have some friends who are physicists and it sounds like they could use your help.

I RTFA but couldn't find an explanation of how being sent a photo via twitter caused her personal information to be passed around the way the summary describes.

When you overuse commas, it has the effect, of making your writing, read as though it were being read, by William Shatner.

I think I can see why AI research doesn't pay your bills.
