So you'd tolerate your co-workers passive aggressive bullshit?

The "don't touch my screen" thing is fine by me, but that mardy shit can fuck off, either say it or get out.

1) Fast turnover of stories 2) the 250ish limit means I can actually run out of reading and get back to working

“No Smoking. No Spitting. The MGT.”

Damn, now I want to take my pants off and smear my hands across your screen.

Honestly, if you started getting up and walking away every time I came to your cube, I'd be there 3 times a day and half of the other people in the office would be in on it and find it hilarious and you'd probably end up in the cupboard crying and hand in your notice.

Seriously just say "please don't touch my screen" instead of this hilarious behaviour.

I just pointed at your screen, did I leave a mark ?

If they are not an asshole "please don't touch my screen" is all you need to say.

You made the wrong choice, TLS would have changed your world. Now you're slumming it.

When all you had was the machine and some electricity you had to learn. Typing listings made me good at debugging. Basic with inline assembler, the sheer joy.

javascript, keep it

a/v pfft, that was a signal generator and an oscilloscope when I was at school!

Duff now works at Pixar. But before that worked on http://9fans.net/ Plan9.

while you argue over css / tables - try writing for a browser that has neither !

The Utah teapot is used in 3d demos because of it's topological properties, though it does make a cameo in Toy Story.

That was lulz

Opening port 0 on NT4 would lock up the machine, I wrote a script to do it to all the dial-up ISPs running NT at 18:03

Think about what happens when you break a client computer by accident, say accidentally pulling a molar when its plugged in but now it wont start up because the spike blew the mb, or when you knock something off the shelf in a person's home and it smashes into bits on the floor.

Blacks and their slavery shoulder chip, GET OVER IT

Newsflash : "more Irish were sold as slaves to the American colonies and plantations from 1651 to 1660 than the total existing “free” population of the Americas"

http://www.ewtn.com/library/HUMANITY/SLAVES.TXT

http://www.scoilgaeilge.org/academics/slaves.htm

From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland's population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain's solution was to auction them off as well.

During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

Had anyone even heard of this service?

I have no idea what your beef is, I think you have a stick up your ass about something.

Why you think you're some sort of web "expert" is beyond me. A real expert wouldn't be using javascript for this for a start.

Punishing third parties because of some moral crusade is dumb.

Slows down the web hahahah jeesh.

You want to make your way in the CS field? Simple. Calculate rough time of amnesia (hell, 10 years is plenty, probably 10 months is plenty), go to the dusty archives, dig out something fun, and go for it. It's worked for many people, and it can work for you.

I'm going to follow you because that's my path too (though Digg was short lived).

The process is known as "the September that never ends".

Slashdot is a bit better now days though the rate of submission is slow.

Wow effects one can only dream of, if you live in 1990.

HTML is lame

I'll also anticipate the questions :

Inferno is an operating system built using similar principles to Plan 9. Everything is a file and 9p is the glue (called Styx in Inferno). However the core of the system is the Emu virtual machine. The system and drivers are written in C but the userland programs are written in Limbo and executed in the VM which can JIT compile it if necessary. It runs on multiple architectures X86, ARM, PowerPC and Sparc.

Another great feature is that the whole shebang can run as a user application in Windows / Linux / OSX / BSD / Plan9 / Solaris and even as an ActiveX control in Internet Explorer!

There is a program wm/wm which presents a draw device with the same protocol as Plan9 which takes a headache out of porting familiar Plan9 programs like Acme. This has also enabled a spin-off Acme-SAC (Stand Alone Client) which is basically Acme for $OS - http://www.caerwyn.com/acme/

Limbo is a statically typed, garbage collected language with built in primitives for CSP style coding ( http://swtch.com/~rsc/thread/ )

    hear(c : chan of string; ip : string)
    {
        result : string;
        # code here for opening and listening
        c <-= result;
    }

    c := array[4] of chan of string;
    spawn(hear, c[0], "123.123.123.10");
    spawn(hear, c[1], "123.123.123.11");
    spawn(hear, c[2], "123.123.123.12");
    spawn(hear, c[3], "123.123.123.13");

    (i, s) := <-c;
    sys->print("%s came from %d\n", i, j);

Strange thing to post without further comment.

I'm a professional Limbo / Inferno programmer if you want to ask any questions.

Sorry, I don't understand you. The big NATO photo is linked from the last URI. Or do you mean the first one, I just found it on google images, I was looking for pics from Holzman's Beyond Photography (http://spinroot.com/pico/) which features pics of Doug when he was at Bell Labs and they were inventing "photoshopping" but they are all in the PDFs and I didn't have the inclination to extract them.
