  1. Re:Options on Ask Slashdot: How To Handle Unfixed Linux Accessibility Bugs? · · Score: 1

    By "whine and moan" I mean make noise to bring attention to the issue.

  2. Re:Options on Ask Slashdot: How To Handle Unfixed Linux Accessibility Bugs? · · Score: 1

    Nope. You're talking about free (gratis) software, not "Open Source".

  3. Options on Ask Slashdot: How To Handle Unfixed Linux Accessibility Bugs? · · Score: 1

    1. Whine and moan.

    2. Fix it yourself.

    3. Bribe. Offer to send a case of beer (or bag of whatever).

  4. All crap "stories" on Minnesota Teen Wins Settlement After School Takes Facebook Password · · Score: -1, Troll

    All buncha social bullshit click baits.

  5. Hype on 3D Printing: Have You Taken the Plunge Yet? Planning To? · · Score: 1

    Today we have too many (wannabe) Steve Jobs, but not enough Steve Wozniaks.

  6. Re:Good for NSA on NSA Hacked Huawei, Stole Source Code · · Score: 1

    Right, "commercial company" in the commie CPC empire. What planet do you live on?

  9. At least on Ask Slashdot: Re-Learning How To Interview As a Developer? · · Score: 1

    At least you're asking, and I suppose that's a start. Ask your colleagues, friends, and family. You won't get anything good here because we don't know you.

  10. AGW activists vs. Creationist on Creationists Demand Equal Airtime With 'Cosmos' · · Score: 0

    What's the difference? Creationists don't demand government handout.

  11. Re:im no linux expert by any stretch on Debian Considering Long Term Support for Squeeze · · Score: 1

    Pentium II.

  12. Re:im no linux expert by any stretch on Debian Considering Long Term Support for Squeeze · · Score: 2

    You might wanna try wheezy (7) - the suspend works out of the box on my old (PII) hardware.

  13. Is that so? on Debian Considering Long Term Support for Squeeze · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It used to be that people would joke about the geological time interval required to produce new Debian versions. Now things are moving so fast, it's considering LTS.

  15. Re:Talking outta ass on The Era of Facebook Is an Anomaly · · Score: 1

    Well, internet is a progress/milestone. FB? I don't know what that is, nor do I care much.

    God damn internet is anomaly. Facebook won't last long anyways.

  17. Re:Fly me to Mars or even to the Moon. on NASA-Funded Study Investigates Collapse of Industrial Civilization · · Score: 1

    I can only guess this is a prep work to argue for greater funding for trips to mars and moon and etc.

    Take it back. No joke.

  19. Good on Up To 1000 NIH Investigators Dropped Out Last Year · · Score: -1, Troll

    What's more idiotic, Kurzweil's senile rants or responding to them?

    That's not a summary, that's a click bait.

  24. Power points == talking points on Physics Forum At Fermilab Bans Powerpoint · · Score: 1

    Power point is the software embodiment of talking points, the political and marketing strategy for repeating over and over "the message", i.e., the verbiages/phrases to be imprinted in the audience' heads.

    It's a propaganda tool, not a discussion tool to encourage understanding.

  25. "Trivial" on Mathematicians Are Chronically Lost and Confused · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Everything, and only things, that math people do is "trivial".
