Researchers at Cornell University claim to be able to identify internet trolls with more than 80% AUC*, positing the possibility of creating automated methods to identify or even auto-ban forum and comment-thread pests. Hopefully they're also working on ones for "Bad Q&A questioner" and "Random Astrology Spammer"

Be careful what you wish for, StackOverflow has one of these; it's the favorite reason of people on CP to hate on SO.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I long for the day when people will get to understand the difference between "multitasking" and "task-switching".
FTR: Multitasking is a bad thing!
What it means is that different areas of the brain are involved in doing different things, independently of each other.
It's very common in women, because they suffer huge variations in hormone levels, every five minutes -- which would, incidentally, be enough to drive any man totally lock-him-up-forever-for-his-own-good insane within an hour.
This makes women's brains (a lot!) more robust and flexible than men's, often allowing them to task-switch more effectively than men.
Multitasking is things like when a woman will suddenly feel incredibly sad or incredibly happy for no apparent reason, because a different cocktail of hormones has suddenly been released into her bloodstream and reached her brain.

That was a pure genius move on his part. Kind of like the Trojan Horse though - it only works once. (sadly, or I'd try it in the Daily News)

Yeah I agree he could only have gotten away with it the one time. He was such a card though there were a lot of interesting shows.
