Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

I would explain, but I can't be bothered.

• Laziness: The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue of a programmer.


• Impatience: The anger you feel when the computer is being lazy. This makes you write programs that don't just react to your needs, but actually anticipate them. Or at least pretend to. Hence, the second great virtue of a programmer.


• Hubris: Excessive pride, the sort of thing Zeus zaps you for. Also the quality that makes you write (and maintain) programs that other people won't want to say bad things about. Hence, the third great virtue of a programmer.

The Michigan man really has a thingy about religion doesn't he?

A Scottish man has been sentenced to an 8-month prison term for sending out anti-Catholic messages over the internet.

"The Pope and the Queen of England needs to be saved by Jesus. If not they will perish!", the man said in one post.

As part of a campaign to eliminate sectarian animosities from the internet, a judge sentenced Stephen Birrell to prison, explaining that he wanted to send “a clear message to deter others.”

Birrell had admitted posting messages that referred to Catholics as “scumbags” and said that he hoped the fans of a soccer team popular among Catholics would “all die.”

The Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Bill aims to tackle abusive behaviour, whether fans are watching matches in a stadium, in the pub or commenting online, with jail terms of up to five years.

You don't expect me to scroll through this whole thread, do you?

Poor thing. When depressed, the wheel on my mouse scrolls the page. All I have to do is watch and yawn.
