  1. Re:How come viruses get all the cool mutations? on Gene Mutation Caused 2009 H1N1 Virus Spread · · Score: 1

    Yous gotta fuck more and generate more offsprings, and encourage them to do the same ASAP. And don't be too picky about appearance, species, etc. Rinse and repeat.

    What, you think them viruses got those mutations by sitting on their ass all day posting at slashdot?

  2. Peanuts on Ringleader of RBS WorldPay Heist Faces Charges in US · · Score: 1

    Stop posting second/fifth-hand blog bitch-fest.

  9. Re:computer science beach reading on Beautiful Data · · Score: 1

    Well, a blast of an endorsement by those very principals being exalted by the book. I can't say I'm a fan of pop-sci books targetted toward Opera's audience, but who knows, maybe it will get us laid more.

  10. Clever on Beautiful Data · · Score: 1

    "Beautiful Data proves to be quite the cover-to-cover page turner for anyone involved in building interfaces for data or the statistician"

    Hm...

  11. Re:Manufacturing? on Negroponte Offers OLPC Technology For India's $35 Tablet · · Score: 1

    I'm no India expert, but their economy had been geared towards self-sufficiency, and not so export-driven like China. They do have their share of manufacturing but they target domestic market, and as such, not of comparably high quality and sophistication as those of the Chinese who target the Western/rich and global market.

    In the recent years, though, good bit of FDI from Japanese and Korean multinationals had set up more modern and competitive manufacturing setup both for domestic market as well as for export to the regional developing markets.

    That said, I agree with the main gist of your point - the gap between India and China on electronics manufacturing, both in terms of efficiency/know-how and sophistication, is huge.

  12. Re:Stay Retired. on How Can an Old-School Coder Regain His Chops? · · Score: 1

    He wrote he wanted to be "relevant" - doesn't sound like he's asking about some hobby project that interests him.

  15. Pro tip on How Should a Non-Techie Learn Programming? · · Score: 1

    What you wanna do is write a C++ compiler. Make sure all the ambiguous cases are resolved according to the latest spec. After that, you can further hone your skill by writing the standard libraries.

    That's enough to get you started.

  16. Re:A decade too late. on Perl 6, Early, With Rakudo Star · · Score: 1

    "... people who flit between the latest releases of dozens of languages ..."

    Perl 6 is one among those dozens. Well, it might be one day if they ever manage a stable and reasonably complete release.

  17. Re:github is a trap on Perl 6, Early, With Rakudo Star · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sure. GP is right, and you're wrong.

  21. WTF on Android Users Aren't As Disloyal As Reported · · Score: 1

    Another post that makes feel dumber after having scanned the headline. Why are they keep posting gossipy bullshit "stories" like this?

  22. Re:Welcome to a highly competitive industry on Frustration and Unhappiness In the Games Industry · · Score: 1

    "... the vast majority [of aspiring actors] will end up bitter, dejected, and many will be making porn."

    So what you are saying is, they finally see the light and end up making an honest living, in short a happy ending? Amirite?
