billysillyon How tall can a Lego tower get?

Oh yes, you do. You do indeed :)

What were we talking about again? Oh, LEGO. Bleh.

billysillyon Speaking out against government malware

What does that have to do with anything? Spam much?

billysillyon Stop telling us how much everything sucks

I don't see why I would dream up awesome motivations where the real ones are actually rather mediocre, if not even pathetic. I kinda prefer having eyes in the head, a working brain etc.

billysillyon In Defense of COS, or Why I Love JSON and Hate XML

"Come back to me when you are using json to encode an entire document"

How is that relevant to the article, which is about COS? In other words, what does COS lack what XML has?

billysillyon Can Art be Games?

Likewise, when I post a sloppy, obscene comment, silly people without culture might get confused.

What they don't know is that I want the readers to feel like they're in a novel of Liselotte Hupenblum, where angry, half-finished gargoyles bark humiliating gibberish at them.

... which changes everything!

billysillyon Norway is building thorium reactor

That's nice and all, but "help reduce" doesn't really equal a "solution for waste storage", and does not change the fact that society, not the companies that built, run and extracted profits from these plants, will have to pay the costs (which we cannot even calculate as long as we don't even have a storage solution, which makes shrugging them off even more criminal -- yeah, maybe it won't be so bad, but we shrug it off because we'll be dead by then, not because we know, and that's rather weak at best, disgusting at worst).

In that wikipedia article you linked, Germany only occurs only once on that page, with a facility that has been out of operation since 1990 - WTF?

billysillyon A single line of Basic sends readers into a labyrinth

I won't claim this is elegant, but here's the same thing in one line:

for(i=1;i<300;i++) document.write(i % 30 == 0 ? "<br>" : (Math.random()>0.5) ? '\u2571' : '\u2572');
