  1. Re:Yo, its 2014! on Is Ruby On Rails Losing Steam? · · Score: 1

    RoR in 2005. See what you did to me!

  2. Yo, its 2014! on Is Ruby On Rails Losing Steam? · · Score: 1

    The internet boom, THE dot-com boom 'n' crash, 9/11 (2001!) and birth of DHS all predated (2014 - 10). Math (or history) is hard. Ruby On Rails originated in 2003. The crash of the global economy followed.

  3. Re:Nothing? on Mathematical Proof That the Universe Could Come From Nothing · · Score: 2

    No. Not turtles all the way down. That is a blunder. One turtle on top of another on top of another .... is a broken model. God is the single source of being, the single source of existence. This statement is irrational: The existence of the single source of existence depends on another source of existence.

  4. Re:IT'S A TRAP! on Microsoft Backs Open Source For the Internet of Things · · Score: 1

    Agreed, a trap. Open source != free (as in freedom) source. This announcement is not a breakthrough for MS.

  5. It says sprocket, not socket. on Android Needs a Simulator, Not an Emulator · · Score: 1
  6. preserves peace of whales and citizens on Google Co-Opts Whale-Watching Boat To Ferry Employees · · Score: 1

    A double do-good. Yea Google.

  7. disasters approach me differently on A Year After Sandy, Do You Approach Disaster Differently? · · Score: 2

    Since Sandy, disasters don't approach me at all, actually....Its been about 12 months now, I think, since I was last approached by a disaster. They have given up I think.

  8. Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! on If Java Is Dying, It Sure Looks Awfully Healthy · · Score: 1

    CUSTOMER: Here's one -- nine pence.

    DEAD PERSON: I'm not dead!

    MORTICIAN: What?

    CUSTOMER: Nothing -- here's your nine pence.

    DEAD PERSON: I'm not dead!

    MORTICIAN: Here -- he says he's not dead!

  9. no. Ubuntu is a consumer product. on Ask Slashdot: Are We Witnessing the Decline of Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    Haters will hate. I Ubuntu is not developer focused on its mission. The trouble with Linux on desktop is developers. They are in the way, not the solution.

  10. unsolved problem on NASA Testing Frickin' Laser Communications · · Score: 1

    Has NASA settled the question? I guess so. Upload rates are ALWAYS a fraction of download rates.

  11. stick to facts, avoid judgement on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Prove an IT Manager Is Incompetent? · · Score: 1

    You say: "countless projects that are overly complex, don't function as needed, and are incredibly expensive" Prove it. Then let management judge the manager.

  12. Re:Playing the race card again on Florida Teen Expelled and Arrested For Science Experiment · · Score: 1

    sorry, I forgot. I live in new jersey and we don't have state law classified as felony. Other states do. In new jersey, the only felony charges are federal.

  13. Re:Playing the race card again on Florida Teen Expelled and Arrested For Science Experiment · · Score: 1

    Using cleaning chemicals for purpose other than cleaning can be a federal crime, in other words, a felony. Accidental death is not is not a federal crime, not a felony. The application of law is not out of balance.

  14. What makes you think your kids are in any extent interested in your digital media? If you think digital media defines you as a parent, maybe you should re-calibrate, spend more time with your kids, not your media.

  15. Re:Absurdity at its best on Lessons From the Papal Conclave About Election Security · · Score: 2

    The pope is sort-of oughtta be elected on the basis of what the Catholic god (or maybe Jesus, it ain't clear) tells the cardinals is the right choice.

    Sorry, that is not accurate. Here is an explanation: http://www.thesacredpage.com/2013/02/no-holy-spirit-doesnt-choose-pope.html

  16. Head slap! You are using college wrong on Ask Slashdot: Best Alternative To the Canonical Computer Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    Go to college to get an intelligence certificate. Its not a place to learn skills. At the end of college, you won't have skills; you will have a sheet of paper that says you are intelligent. That paper, called a diploma, says only that you are intelligent enough to learn new things. You want something else. You want a skill. Diplomas do not say you have any skill (see above). College is the wrong place to get a skill because college won't give you even a piece of paper that says you have said skill. If you don't even want a piece of paper that says you have a skill (these are called certifications), then don't even go to school.

    You have an opportunity to get a piece of paper saying you are intelligent enough to learn things about computers, and you don't see that as anything but a waste of time. Incredible. Maybe you should be a business major.

  17. Headline: Climate Researcher Uses Real Data on When Did Irene Stop Being a Hurricane? · · Score: 1

    That is news.

  18. Obviously, global warming is viral on Saturn's Super Storm · · Score: 1

    How long until 'the experts' give us another inconvenient truth?

  19. who/what is YOUR god? on Apple Causes Religious Reaction In Brains of Fans · · Score: 2

    Whatever stimulates this area of your brain is your god, and it could be anything.

    Relates to the Commandments: "You shall have no other gods before me." and "You shall not make for yourself an idol."

  20. Re:brought down by RADAR? on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 1

    Thanks for that explanation. For a while I had lost hope for the human race.

  21. brought down by RADAR? on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 1

    Really. We are to believe these have some level of technology that is vulnerable to RADAR?

  22. Re:Nudity would be ok if not for Satan on Vatican Warns That Internet Promotes Satanism · · Score: 1

    I looked it up in my copy of the New Jerome's Biblical Commentary. The first association between the serpent and Satan was made by hellenist-jewish tradition, see Wisdom 2:24. Scholars date the writing of Wisdom to the last half of the 1st century BCE. So, no, its not "an assumption that Christians started to make because it made sense".

  23. Nudity would be ok if not for Satan on Vatican Warns That Internet Promotes Satanism · · Score: 2
    Nerds should care about the spread of Satanism. Its Satan's fault we wear clothes, have to work hard, and women have pain in childbirth, according to the Christian tradition.

    He appeared as a snake in the beginning and fooled Eve and Adam into rebellion against God. The consequences of the rebellion are 1) shame from nudity, 2) hard work for sustenance, and 3) painful childbirth. See Genesis 3.

    Those who support Satanism implicitly support these consequences. Only nihilists won't care about the spread of Satanism, but then do nihilists care about anything?

  24. Shutup Florian! on Google Didn't Ship Relicensed Java Code After All · · Score: 1
    Oracle can present its own case. its a grownup corporation. It already spends millions on its lawyer pool and has the technical experts as well.

    You have singlehandedly muddied up an already confusing case. We don't need some sensationalist like you cashing in.

    Shut up!

  25. yawn on Oracle To Monetize Java VM · · Score: 1
    There has always been a free and premium jdk from oracle.

    We don't have enough information in this announcement about the difference between free and premium in technology, performance or price.

    This announcement is much less important to java enterprises than it is to java detractors.
