Re:Aerial robots swarm the stage at TED [video] on Friday March 02, 2012 @05:17PM (#3658632)
That was weird. I read, "Aerial robots swarm the stage at TED". I thought how rad of a demo that would be. Then I saw "[video]". And got excited to see video of a TED talk with robots swarming the stage.

The canned video they had was riggin' rad, but I was disappointed. Damn you, Ken Fisher!

When I read this, I thought, "this guy is selling something".

The only programmers I know who half-heartedly believe that are trying to convince themselves of it in order to sell pairing to pointy-haired bosses. Two things cannot become one thing, if they are meaningful. If you make them one thing, it's because they aren't meaningful to you. In this case it's peer review, and I don't want what you're selling.
