Slashdot Mirror

Came for this. Left satisfied.

So testing a hydrogen bomb is engineering, but testing cosmetics is science? First, you're wrong; second, you're splitting hairs trying to evade acknowledging the fact that what you said was absurd.

But whatever. Here's another example. Why don't we send probes to Venus? That would be science. We're not doing that science. We totally could. The USSR did. We don't, because it's not worth the cost, because Venus is a shit environment for our probes, so it would cost more to send them there. And don't say we're doing "better science instead", because we have enough money to send probes to Venus in addition to all the other science we're doing. We choose to make Hollywood movies, or build cars, or do other non-science stuff instead. Because doing the science isn't always the right answer.

This is the last time I will engage you on this point. Grow up, acknowledge what you said was stupid, or don't.

And finally, that doesn't we don't do the science in the way that causes the least damage.

Filmmakers should now add real obfuscated code to the computer screens that do or say something clever if someone sits down and tries to run it.

(Just not this.)

Why do I see all these anti-${convicted-hardcore-criminal} posts? Yeah ${this criminal who was convicted so many times, it's not ever funny, yet continued to do crime the very day his probation officer went away} has been a bastard many times, but to be swatted because they dared to use the term "sky" ...

Answer: You're not wrong. You're just an asshole.

That is the myth anyway.

Why would they want to take it over if they created it in the first place?

Think about it. The creator of bitcoin had a deep understanding of networks and cryptography. The block chain is a *public* history of every bitcoin transaction worldwide. Perfect transparency for whoever wants to monitor it. A team at the NSA is as good an explanation for who "Satoshi Nakamoto" was as anything else.

There's a quickmeme for that:

bro, do you even git?!? http://i.qkme.me/3t9ior.jpg

Our company got one of these ridiculous letters about 2 months ago. I took great pleasure in immediately scanning it into an email to a colleague so we could laugh about it.

You should have replied to the letter with This. (no, it is not a goatse or a rickroll.)

Is this it? Is this all you can conjure, Slashdot?

Yes, they steal ideas here and there and make a great product. Sure, they sue companies that steal their whole product. And yes, they make the best American consumer electronic products, ever.

Remember "smartphones" before the iPhone? It took years for any company to remotely match what the iPhone had when it LAUNCHED. To summarize, every slashdot thread about Apple: Haters going to hate.

Actually, Apple's biggest contribution to smartphones was in marketing and convincing everyone they actually needed one. I'm not an Apple hater, but really, almost everything in the iPhone, from a user perspective was already there in other products. What other vendors didn't have was a group of fanatics that would buy anything that Apple put out. The iPhone became an overnight success because of the Mac users who went out and had to have one. That's not a complaint, only an observation. With a loyal customer base, once can pull off anything.

I'm interested! Wait a second ... *shuffles around in his desk drawer and pulls up an empty bottle of KY Jelly* ... awww, never mind :(

Suddenly, a wild Oracle appears!
