  1. Re:Tired... on Microsoft's Attempt To Convert Users From Windows XP Backfires · · Score: 1

    Now you're tired? After, what, 15-16 years?!

    Damn noobs.

  2. These studies on Low-Protein Diet May Extend Lifespan · · Score: 1

    They are mere flip, a datum likely shoddily collected that is so far removed from any kind of conclusion. It might be worth a mention among specialized crowd that deal with the narrow subject, but outside of that rarefied circle, its being reported is worse than useless.

  3. Can't make this stuff up on Government Accuses Sprint of Overcharging For Wiretapping Expenses · · Score: 2

    Would be funny if it weren't so insidious.

  4. Re:New Kind of Language? on Wolfram Language Demo Impresses · · Score: 1

    Actually, as big as Wolfram's ego is, safer money would be on the crappy story submission/summary on trolldot.

    Slashdot: where it's troll all the way down.

  5. New Kind of Language? on Wolfram Language Demo Impresses · · Score: 2

    If ego can feed you, Wolfram would be, like, really fat.

  6. Re:Wow! on Experimental Port of Debian To OpenRISC · · Score: 1

    "lamer" usually does a better job. Maybe because he's new. Or maybe because he's actually an engineer/programmer.

  7. Finally on Agbogbloshie: The World's Largest e-Waste Dump · · Score: 1

    Headline that's complete gibberish.

  8. Re:Education does not qualified make... on Do We Really Have a Shortage of STEM Workers? · · Score: 1

    I don't want someone who knows how to run, I want someone who loves running.

    For most, it's a fucking job so that people can make a living and support our families. That goes the same for those of us who love the work, and applies to all fields, not just STEM.

    Let's see you hit 40s and keep on the same tune. Stupid kids.

  9. Re:Bad news for ecologists--new license needed on Major Scientific Journal Publisher Requires Public Access To Data · · Score: 1

    Other people give you money for research. You want the profit, fund your own work then.

  10. Re:Bad news for ecologists--new license needed on Major Scientific Journal Publisher Requires Public Access To Data · · Score: 1

    This is preposterous. Unless you self-funded your work, you don't own the data. The people who give out grants don't intend it for you to spend for your own benefit.

  11. Sick of this senile fool on Ray Kurzweil Talks Google's Big Plans For Artificial Intelligence · · Score: 2

    Dang fool completely fails to grow old gracefully.

    On the other hand, the guy pretty much spills out what we already know - Google is trying to parse out all your gmail, gdocs, google search, google+, youtube, and god-knows-what-else.

    Guess what they'll be used for?

  12. Big picture remedy on Why Is US Broadband So Slow? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Cut down the biggest branch of our government - the lobbying industry.

  13. Re:Balderdash on The Neuroscience of Computer Programming · · Score: 1

    I came across couple with philosophy degrees, but they lean toward math/analytic - i.e., Russell, Wittgenstein rather than Kant, etc.

  14. Forget Jobs on Steve Jobs To Appear On US Postage Stamp · · Score: 1

    USPS, put out a bieber stamp - ships anything and everything to Canada, no questions asked, no return accepted.

  15. Don't decimate. Annihilate the bums in Washington.

  16. Ehem on Canadian Court Tries to Dampen Copyright Trolls In P2P Lawsuits · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Heed not - just testing.

    Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3,

  17. And keep it up, smart guys. There will be nothing but trolling on your precious investment.

  18. Fuck beta.

    I'm guessing it's their way to force people to log in.

    But then, even without the beta, slashdot was scraping the bottom anyways.

  19. Also on Can Reactive Programming Handle Complexity? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can bullshit walk?

  20. EGW on 1870s Horse Flu Epidemic Brought US Economy To Its Knees · · Score: 1

    Centuries of horse shit spewing methane into the atmosphere brought about Equine Global Warming, leading to the flu epidemic.

    If only we had Al Gore back then...

  21. Re:ICF on 1870s Horse Flu Epidemic Brought US Economy To Its Knees · · Score: 1

    What a load of horse shit.

  22. Someone calls other(s) "denialist", I see a demagogue asswipe.

    And/or a click troll.

  23. Another click-bait troll post on Psychologists: Internet Trolls Are Narcissistic, Psychopathic, and Sadistic · · Score: 2

    Trolling with a "story" about trolling. It's troll all the way down here.

  24. Re:This isn't the only problem with Color Run on 'The Color Run' Violates Agreement With College Photographer, Then Sues Him · · Score: 1

    Mod the parent up. I've seen that festival in India, and this scheme looks like a straight rip-off with, of course, no credit.

  25. Re:Legal system works on 'The Color Run' Violates Agreement With College Photographer, Then Sues Him · · Score: 1

    Yep. Back in the 90s, a cliched joke was "all the money's in non-profit."
