I guess it is only a fake sense of security that the government gets by saying "hey i am banning this" when the rest of the nation will just be able to use proxies/vpns to get out. In a way, maybe China likes to give its population a crappy latency. :D They just wanted to be a dick.

How do new programmers and new sysadmins survive in china? I suppoose they have to rote learn all their reference books.

After all humans got their tech heart, Mankind became extinct ... After an EMP hit earth.

There's no better FPS than Quake you mere mortal!

Why the heck would someone decompile an opensource software to know what it is doing so as to write that software again? That must be a guy who doesn't have anything to do, since he could just have read the source code and figured a different way of doing it.

Doom/Quake moron :)

Ofcourse there is LACK OF CREATIVITY in traditional sciences.

Women and Men :s people should learn to stop using that card :s, come on, if you sucked at CS or if there are not enough women around in CS, it probably is because the women were interested in doing something else, now stop trying to find excuses and get on with your life.

Javascript makes your browser a fat cow.

Hmm i wonder if they could use multiple autonomous solar powerred drones to give much finer details.

ACM never helped me learn anything when i started.
ACM's article usually asked for fees to access their documents/papers.


Thanks to the above two, i had always in my head tagged ACM and ieee as associations of people who are not really interesting in perfectioning the art, but rather making money out of it. So yes, i viewed them both as dangers to the art of computing.

Using erlang i always end up solving my stuffs recursively,i love the language :D. Way to go Erlang :p.

Terrorism seems to be the new white card for power abuse.

I wonder how tourists would feel about visiting the US now when they can easily be labelled as a terrorist for no reasons at all.
