  1. Processing on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Jump Back Into Programming? · · Score: 2

    You cloud try learning Processing, the reason I say that is because just like back in the 80s you can type something quickly and see some results, I'm thinking it would help you get into 'the zone' again quicker as you have a very fast and visual feedback loop on what you do.

    Learning Ruby might be a good language as well as you have less boiler plate than languages such as C# and C++ etc.

    From there you can jump to something else if you want to.

  2. Re:Nothing better than something? on Google Funds Raspberry Pi And CS Teachers For UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Maybe because it drives you to action sooner

  3. Re:No America - you're not getting our data. on US Unhappy With Australians Storing Data On Australian Shores · · Score: 1

    If the US wants to be competitive then lobby congress to loose this law, not like tech companies don't have the money and look at what Oil has been able to lobby for in the past.

  4. Re:Not a problem on Lack of Vaccination Sends Babies In Oregon To the Hospital · · Score: 1

    So what do you propose when enough retards rejecting vacination causes the percentage of the immunized population to drop below the magic number? Let Darwin run his course?

  5. Re:Not a problem on Lack of Vaccination Sends Babies In Oregon To the Hospital · · Score: 1

    The babies had no choice, it was their fuckwit parents or those parents of kids who who not vacinated that caused it yet didn't pay the price.

  6. Re:I trust parents more than government on Lack of Vaccination Sends Babies In Oregon To the Hospital · · Score: 1

    And you got other peoples opinion of your opinion, live with it.

  7. Re:Better phrasing on Should Failure Be Rewarded To Spur Innovation? · · Score: 1

    Too right, it's the difference between playing to win and playing not to loose.

  8. Re:Chrome vs IE on Chrome Beats Internet Explorer On Any Given Sunday · · Score: 1

    So you don't build web sites for your prospects and customers to look at?

  9. Re:Chrome vs IE on Chrome Beats Internet Explorer On Any Given Sunday · · Score: 1

    I'm also one of those IT control freaks and we're changing from using IE as the company browser and going to Chrome, the biggest drivers for this are commercial and IE lets itself down by being single platform and also locked into the OS upgrade cycle.

  10. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Let someone shoot you with #6 birdshoot from a 12 gague at 40 yards and post it on YouTube else it didn't happen!

  11. Re:Animal Rights? on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well actually as far as the universe is concerned Humans have no right to anything either, a black hole could wander into our solar system tomorrow and the universe wouldn't even look up from reading the paper no matter how much we cried out about having rights.

    Rights of any kind are an artificial construct and so animals and humans can have whatever rights we want to give them.

  12. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You mean the drone had a mind control ray fitted that made the people shoot their guns in that direction, holy shit!

  13. Forget they weren't in the Warsaw Pact? on Piratbyran Co-Founder Says Stop DDoSing Polish Sites · · Score: 0

    If you're in the Polish Government please remember you're in the European Union and not the Warsaw Pact.

  14. Of course the result would be on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Speaks Out On SOPA · · Score: 1

    The .com, .orgs etc will get moved out of US control.

    Let them block .us all they want.

  15. Re:The Joke's on Them on Sir Tim Berners-Lee Speaks Out On SOPA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Except when the blocking mechanism is to remove say slashdot.org from DNS.

  16. Re:Hopeless... on Tech Industry Reps To Speak Before Congress About SOPA · · Score: 2

    Yes, let the free market decide. Tech industry reach into your pockets!

  17. Re:IIS will become legacy software on Nginx Overtakes Microsoft As No. 2 Web Server · · Score: 4, Informative

    IIS is used for industrial strength websites for corporations, online shopping sites, etc... People use IIS for _real work_, .

    That is correct, but a lot more corporations use non IIS solutions for industrial strength web sites.

  18. Re:It is an HR issue. on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 1

    Have a look at the languages and technologies used by the top 20 busiest web sites on the Internet today and then tell me if you still think your statement is true.

  19. Re:ASP.NET and C# on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 1

    Even in the global enterprise where I work there is a movement to move away from Microsoft / Oracle for this very reason, it's too expensive in the modern world compared to the technologies used by Internet startups / companies.

  20. Re:also reduces IT costs on Businesses Now Driving "Bring Your Own Device" Trend · · Score: 1

    This is the best comment I've seen on Slashdot regarding BYOD. The only sane thing to do in the modern world.

  21. Re:The U.S. won't be able to compete with China on China Completes First Space Docking Test · · Score: 1

    With even small asteroids containing roughly 20 trillion dollars worth of industrial and precious metals there is nothing that makes going into space valuable from an economic standpoint?

    I suspect the first nation that successfully exploits space economically will basically get catapulted to premier world status simply by the competitive advantage that such disruptive technology would bring.

  22. Re:Find another way to fund it on Is the OMB Trying To End Planetary Exploration? · · Score: 1

    I suspect that China maybe the ones who will be building the stuff in orbit using mined asteroid material as unless the US keeps its living knowledge current then it will loose its lead.

    Expertise in robot probes is good because over time those probes could be the ones who are doing the missions to asteroids and bringing them back using solar sails etc.

  23. Re:Find another way to fund it on Is the OMB Trying To End Planetary Exploration? · · Score: 1

    Well once you start mining asteroids your budget worries are over!

  24. Re:Money, money, money on Is the OMB Trying To End Planetary Exploration? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They could learn to go to war less and have a smaller military maybe?

  25. Shoot the Schoolmaster CIO on Battle For Open Standards In Dutch Public Education · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For making such a stupid decision to move away from Open Standards. If you want stuff to work on the Internet use open standards, simple as that.

    Why should users have to go to a desktop computer with a specific OS in order to utilise the system? Maybe it should be made fit for purpose for the modern age.
