Human After All IMHO is probably the worst Daft Punk album Bangalter and Homem-Christo put together. Technologic is one of, if not the worst song on the entire album. Terrible.

Every time someone acts like a troll, we don't need to read through someone's witty retort in response. He's trolling, he knows it, we all know it, and he's downmodded to oblivion for it. That's enough.

Yuck. Yes, I must really resist the temptation to comment after all nighters. Manipulation == psychopathy, is a bit much. I too assert however that manipulating the audience in spite of appealing to reason is unethical, and that some sort o

Is that 6 "Ask HN" posts I'm unfairly holding back? Nope. Not unless you're so desperate for up mods that you're going to start posting non-posts.

But now you are putting your own ethics on the concept of manipulation No kidding. That's the whole point of the parent post in the first place isn't it? He's asserting that manipulation, is self evidently wrong, that there is no justif

I consider humor here to be mostly unwanted noise. Most of the time IMHO, commentators' attempts at witticism reduce to just groping around for self esteem boosts and/or goading one another into flamewars. Having been at /. for many years,

I prefer the idea of a future where improvements can be built upon all previous knowledge pretty much nailed it on the head there. A lot of developers really miss the point while getting sucked into these flamewars.. almost as annoying a
