I apologize for offending you and for being rude.

by mbyrne 16y ago
you are completely right. though I would say I was more frustrated than smug.

yes, that is a good point, maybe scissor clamp with cams would have been a better way for me to explain it if I had been more precise.

No, you weren't being harsh at all. But there is a certain percentage of readers who are like Smokey from the Big Lebowski: DUDE: Walter, you can't do that. These guys're like me, they're pacificists. Smokey was a conscientious objector. WA

As pro-FOSS CTO with a JIT-compiling VM userbase, the ASF exit from JCP EC makes it CYA time for us with the FOU restrictions in the TCK and JDK 7/8. Agreed?

I suspect this is one of those cool ideas that in practice doesn't work so well, unfortunately. But increasing brake light intensity overall on new cars or replacement brake lamps would increase safety even though old cars might have weaker

Request Denied. I will continue to use free soloing as my "stick...to measure" the coolness of all other climbing endeavors. And what you lose from ad hominem attacks is credibility.

Saying that I think a guy who can swing from rock to rock like a monkey is an attempt to redefine the meaning of the word "climbing" is ridiculous. I actually have no opinion about what climbing is or is not. I was expressing admiration. Li

My tone might have appeared dismissive because I was being dismissive. Is that not allowed? Are you the judge of how people should speak? Labeling and criticizing my "tone" is just an ad hominem attack, so you lose. Why not just answer my q

"In case your rudeness springs strictly from ignorance: - Any time you're moving up under your own power, you're climbing." 1. Namecalling my comment as "rudeness" is just an ad hominem attack, so you lose. 2. According to your definition o

I don't get it. It's a C-clamp. Why not just build an escalator? Why not just tie yourself to a rope and have your Mommy pull you up? I remember seeing footage of some French guy climbing a rockface a thousand feet up swinging like a monkey

This guy was a bond salesman, not an investor, it is no wonder why he didn't even understand the basics. It didn't matter. His job was to convince people to buy what his company was selling and to generate commissions.

Actually, I am glad they didn't write a step-by-step "Making H Bombs for Dummies" guide like you suggest. Because NOTHING is ever kept secret if it can be passed along like papers or computer files. Witness the long and ongoing history of n

RANT to follow, feel free to ignore: It feels like this story is being spun to raise "serious questions about the federal government's nuclear weapons management" by Mother Jones and others, as well as to demean hackers. From my three minut

The quick answer if that if you are going to sell 1/3 of your company for two months of ramen noodles then you don't really think much of it. Already I can tell this guy is not an angel, he smells blood. Plus he's running his company full-t

Short version: Why I'm leaving Harvard (for Google) is because I want to be an engineer and not an academic.

How is that different from going on Facebook and searching for John Smith? Do you resent the convenience of not having to search twice on two separate sites?

Wired gets it wrong, again. Actually the study conclusion is "Having a bunch of smart people in a group doesn't necessarily make the group smart," concludes Malone (one of the study's authors). Meaning if a group fights, they won't do as we

yes, you are right of course about the phone. But if the reason the phone isn't listed as one of the Android phones is because Google doesn't think the phone is good, then that is a slippery slope. What else do they think is inferior and w
