For the sake of this discussion, let's assume that the Judeo-Christian God is real.

We're probably the first sentient beings to evolve because it doesn't make sense for God to incarnate himself as Christ here on Earth. If sentient beings exist on other planets, alien God incarnates (alien Christs) have to die multiple times to save the entire universe.

I also let my membership lapse because I couldn't read all the magazines anymore. Many of my magazines remain unopened to this day.

Stuff that no longer matters

R.I.P., old Slashdot

Not sure if he is trolling, or if he has deeper issues that can't be solved with version control systems like git or hg (or even good 'ol CVS!).

I agree; however, the Roman Catholic church teaches many things that contradict God. The geocentric model, for instance, is technically a blasphemy, but the Church supported it anyway...

Dear American,

SMS is the *least* expensive way to send data in developing countries. Here in the Philippines, normal SMS costs only 0.02USD per message. It costs 0.49USD for 1 day unlimited SMS. Unlimited 3G/HSDPA costs 1.23USD per day. LTE is currently free because it's still being tested in selected cities.

A better idea: watch Black Mirror, episode 3, and implement a Google Glass app that does this.

I wish humanity was still subjected to evolutionary pressure, like these mosquitoes, that would drive gross human evolution. Right now, our species would no longer improve unless we use genetic engineering.

In an ideal world, I could live a life without Java, but I love my Android phone...

I miss the old Slashdot trolls. Trolling, as long as it's not disruptive, leads to interesting discussions such as this.

Direct-connect can be achieved with IPv6 without having to set up expensive infrastructure for getting around NAT. Of course, you do have to set up your network for IPv6.

My subjective reason for hating 48fps: the movie looks like a sitcom.

If that day ever comes, I'll make lots and lots of money by selling authentic fresh bread for twice or thrice the price of standard bread.

Some guy from Google contacted me too, and I wished he screened me by asking how to design a solution for a very deep and technical problem, instead of expecting me to memorize things that can easily be googled or browsed through the man pages.

Fresh graduates have an edge with Google's hiring process. I've been developing software for quite some time now, but I no longer remember the Big O thingy for standard sorting algorithms.
