  1. Re:Very subjective on Ask Slashdot: Would You Pay For Websites Without Trolls? · · Score: 1

    Few people care if you have datamine the hell out of a bunch of different private databases to determine someone's identity. But if you can google your name and find every discussion you ever had on the internet, then people care. I don't want a bunch of old discussions haunting me for the rest of my life. Nobody does.

  2. Re:Niggers (can we change this title yet?) on Ebola Quarantine Center In Liberia Looted · · Score: 1

    People who don't believe in Ebola are removed from the gene pool.

    Won't do any good. Producing more stupid people is relatively easy. You simply don't educate them.

    And less open discussion.

  4. Re:thanks, dad, for sucking all the joy out of WAR on Swedish Dad Takes Gamer Kids To Warzone · · Score: 1

    Young males already romanticize war. Video games/movies/novels frequently encourage that. Just because they're fictional, doesn't mean they don't affect people's opinions.

  6. Re:Gasbag on Where are the Flying Cars? (Video; Part Two of Two) · · Score: 1

    I didn't say it was practical. Taken in context, I was merely saying we have flying devices that don't plummet to the ground when they run out of gas.

    If only there was some kind of balloon like device to raise our buoyancy so we could float in the air.

  8. Re:But what IS the point they're making? on Earth In the Midst of Sixth Mass Extinction: the 'Anthropocene Defaunation' · · Score: 1

    I'm not talking about killing people. I'm talking about managing growth...child birth...China style. Jesus, are IQs plummeting or something? What on earth made you think I was talking about killing people when I said "manage our population growth".

    "Don't build anything, ever, and don't eat any animals, ever" ?

    I think the conclusion is pretty obvious. We're heading toward major ecological issues which will kill people. We need to manage our population growth.

  10. Re:Server 2012 already looks like Windows 8. on Microsoft's CEO Says He Wants to Unify Windows · · Score: 1

    Yes, win+x is very handy. But that only gets you the quick access to the windows administrative function. Say you want to see the applications you have installed. Have you actually looked at the menus? They're terrible. I have 5 different versions of Visual Studio installed along with all the tools that accompany them. Unless I pin a shortcut to start, I can't actually tell the which version of VS I'm clicking on. There's no submenus, and the display names are far too short. You have Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.... they all look like like this: "Microsoft Visual Studio 20..." Nice eh. It's a clusterfuck of a menu.

    so I don't think we made any real progress

    Not only that, but we did it slower and at greater expense. Sometimes I go weeks without writing a single line of code anymore. It's really sad. I don't want to be in this industry anymore...unfortunately I don't have much of a choice.

    most C64 owners dropped it ASAP and went straight for assembly

    because it absolves you of the actual question of what drives interest.

    Which is: the interactions of groups of atoms which are mechanically compelled to gather more groups of atoms and assemble them into nearly identical forms to themselves. Or have I zoomed in on the issue too far?

  20. Re:Before you start complaining... on Girls Take All In $50 Million Google Learn-to-Code Initiative · · Score: 2

    It's obvious even in that little social microcosm of society we call high school. The beta males cliques gather in the library or the computer lab or wherever to do their nerdy things...maybe play Magic, or D&D, or whatever. At best there's what? Maybe there's one or two equally beta females hanging out with that group (if any). And it's certainly not because they're conspiring to exclude girls. In fact, they'd be happy if there were more among them. I know this because I was one of those kids and so were a lot of us here.

  21. Re:Before you start complaining... on Girls Take All In $50 Million Google Learn-to-Code Initiative · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Who knows if there's something genetic but there's obviously something cultural. Most women don't strive to immerse themselves in a culture that is predominated by socially awkward beta males. I don't understand why nobody accepts this obvious explanation for the lack of women.

    Curved TV? Couldn't care less. But I wouldn't mind one of those ultrawide screen curved monitors. Now if they would only make the price practical. At $6000 plus, nobody but rich PC gamers will be buying them.
