   The medical marijuana debate is retarded. Of course it should be allowed for medical reasons. We already use a lot of heavier drugs for that obviously. The retardedness comes in when people use that as an argument for legalization. What doe

   Standards are one thing, monopolies another. I guess as the complexity of our systems grow it will be more and more important to keep the technology minimalist and easy to change. Hmm what was i gonna say. Think virtual machines for example

   But is scalability a computational complexity problem for you? Or you think you can search the whole web like that?

   I read that Powerset is using Ruby and a little Erlang and I guess other languages too.

   At first I thought Powerset was nothing since it only searched Wikipedia and the normal wikipedia search works fine. However if you really use it the right way, asking questions of the type "which tennisplayer beat andre agassi" which is an

    Ads, ads and ads! Everybody hates them but everyone wants to use them in their apps. How about someone actually make an application that is actually capabl of making revenue by its own, meaning the service they offer is something people pay

    Yes this is f-----g offensive. It pisses me off tremendously. I hope not only Belgium will take us to court for this. What kind of braindead imbecils come up with stuff like this. Too many decisions being taken over our heads.

    Perhaps computer science is the glue rather than the cutting edge? A lot of research is not even realistically possible without computers. Parallellisation is important for bioinformatics and so on. But the really cool stuff that computers

    This confuses me. Why is it free? Here they have a transaction and thus an obvious way to monetarize. Why not charge a fee per SMS? Will everyone run to a different service?

    There is much deeper knowledge in books. Just learning from the internets and reading magazine articles will keep you updated but make your knowledge shallow.

    It was writeen in LISP first so a lot of defs make sense if just porting the code. What's wrong with a lot of defs anyway?

    I have found myself that I often reuse functional stuff(I write functions to do stuff and continously add fucntions in different programs that kind of belong together and then I realize I have a library) but I rarely reuse class-oriented st

    One thing i thought about was that sure if you don't downvote there could be others later upvoting it so it becomes positive but I rarely see that happen. So if something is already -2 it doesn't need to get downvoted to -10(ok this rarely

    I like my life much better when I go up at 07-08:00 and not 12-14:00 but I have this really bad tendency to push later and later everyday until I stay up 24hours , go to bed at 18:00 sleep to 04:00 then start it all over again. But it has t

    I get this too sometimes but have never been able to figure out the problem. It can happen after I have started and closed the interpeter and then start it again.
