Who the fvck cares, it's not like he actually has any power anyway, just "vote" another puppet in.

I only mod up, when I think it's justified. Most time my points expire. And I still think /. is informative et al. Maybe it doesn't have the same tone as a couple years ago but things change, so...

Might even sound better than his current music.

Nice Router, I had to run an Ethernet cable downstairs from the loft into a second router on the first floor to cover the rest of my house. House is all brick and mortar, not sure what the floor is made out of but it stops the wireless signal dead. On the plus side I stuck the router behind the TV and plugged it into the network. Can stream anything to the TV without any hiccups.

Or "the system is unstable and keeps breaking, massage the data to get it working again, we don't have the source code anymore and to rewrite it will take too much money/time". Some days I feel more like a goddamn dba than a programmer.

I would just shoot the hostage

And with current technology would have to be the size of Chicago - we don't currently have the technology to create AI, all we can do is simulate morons. With Moors law slowing down, unless we have a breakthrough we may never have true AI. All I know is as soon as the first true AI is created I'm out of a job. I'm a programmer, the first true AI will be able to churn out billions of lines of code for whatever system you want in seconds.

I'll be damned, went into winamp and searched for a U2 song and found one. Didn't think I had any. "New years day" Just had to share that. It's Monday!

Grow up, there is no way a nuclear cauterization would ever be condoned. Just because it's Africa and you don't give a fvck about it doesn't mean you can nuke it.

Yeah cos that worked so well in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Fixed that for you - although I was not attributing it to anyone, I was just saying who I stole it from. Considering it's generally attributed to Mark Twain who himself attributed it to Benjamin Disraeli, so no one really knows - did it really matter?

Couldn't agree more - gone are the days when you needed to upgrade every six months, now I only feel the need to upgrade every ~3 years. RAM is so cheap I stuck another 16gb in my machine just for the hell of it. I don't bother writing anything to DVD either, I just buy another external HDD - in fact I am using the SATA port for my main SSD, the DVD drive is not even plugged in anymore.

Whoa! ALL THINGS IN MODERATION - that's going a bit overboard don't ya think?

Perfect opportunity to impart one of my favourite quotes
Voltaire
According to one story, his last words were, "Now is not the time for making new enemies." It was his response to a priest at the side of his deathbed, asking Voltaire to renounce Satan
