When you make a statement like: "travelling salesman in 4 lines of code", it generally means the entire problem in 4 lines of code, not a function call to some built in function and a couple of array initializers.

Now, had the submitter written something like "Hey check this out, it has some really cool functions build in", that would have made at least some sense.

Well obviously, he is trying to get rid of his coins....

This is probably the best explanation I've ever read.

Apparently a simple comment can cause quite a stir.

I'm very well aware that religion is not a race, however, when you have a bigot like the one I replied to, his world view is splitting races along religious lines.

And apparently everyone seems to miss my point - Civil unrest, riots and probably civil war in case of The Ukraine are happening around the globe right now - and spot on predictions for said events.

My point of the post was that it's not just the middle east having the darndest of time keeping their population down, rest of the world is currently plunging towards war.

Racists much?

Currently there are massive riots in The Ukraine, Venezuela, Thailand; signs of growing civil unrest in central Europe - reports of riots in Brazil; All countries of course known for their muslim leadership...

You don't seem to grasp just how much energy one degree change is. We are not talking about your local body or your local city, it's a whole friggin planet that has risen one degree over a very short period of time (again, planetary scale, not human).

It is most likely very bad, what should be worrying the crap out everyone is that currently less energy is being deposited where stuff happens, we have been on a cooling trend in the El Nino cycle and the sun has been unusually "inactive" - signs are that the El Nino cycle will change, which means a lot of the heat the oceans have trapped will probably be dumped back out. The flooding in England and drought in California are just the briese before the real shitstorm hits us.

Then you probably should stop playing games - pretty much all online games with a bit of weight behind them have some form of active anti cheat software running. They will not only be scanning your files, but also actively checking memory for mischievous software.

And that was years ago when I was playing - I can't imagine their scanners are less intrusive these days...

zsh does out of the box.

Well get used to it.

If beta goes live people will exodus slashdot, granted no more fuck beta posts, but on the other hand, the people whom you want to have a discussion with will have moved on, leaving you with spambots.

Then you haven't tried the mobile version.

I've already abandoned that part of slashdot, it is absolutely impossible to use - the font is too small to read, and reszing is disabled...

What new design? Oh you mean the one that isn't on classic.slashdot.org? I was half way out the door back then when they allowed us to switch to the old design.

If Beta goes ahead, there will be a mass exodus, the slashdot user base isn't the average "uh shiny" consumer.

A couple of Danish newspapers are doing the same. Just install Ghost incognito addon for chrome, hit that ghost when you get tagged by a paywall, chrome will then automatically switch to incognito when you visit those sites, clears out most paywalls.

I know google is a tough one to use, but searching around will yield stuff like this: http://articles.mercola.com/si...

Note, research have shown that insulin levels are unaffected by aspertame.

Personal experience, I used to drink a lot of sugary soda, was overweight, but nothing compared to when I switched to artificial sweeteners; also I find it much harder to keep a diet if I drink any form of "diet" soda.

Actually, Diet cokes will most likely cause you to gain weight - the coke itself has no calories, the sweet sensation will however trigger your body to believe sugar is incoming and since none is, it will cause you to sugar feel hungry, which will trigger cravings for your sugary drugs.

My point exactly - there is almost no legal places to base jump from.
