  1. Re:Whatever happened to... on Microsoft To Shut Down TechNet Subscription Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    TechNet wasn't for developers as it didn't include things like Visual Studio.

  2. Re:That sucks on Microsoft To Shut Down TechNet Subscription Service · · Score: 2

    TechNet subscriptions don't include Visual Studio anyways. So your comparison to the highest priced MSDN tier is pretty disingenuous. If you need dev tools you would have always needed to buy at least the MSDN Visual Studio Professional which is $1200.

    Yes, my bad. I left out a zero.

  4. Re:This is mostly outdated service on Microsoft To Shut Down TechNet Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    So an MSDN subscription is either 19900 or 29900 dollars? Since when?

  5. Re:If you're confused... on How Facial Analysis Software Could Help Struggling Students · · Score: 1

    Why? Any good teacher will always seek to proactively help a struggling student. The education system must be pretty shit these days if attitudes like yours is the norm.

  6. Re:Well two problems with that on Employers Switching From Payroll Checks To Prepaid Cards With Fees · · Score: 1

    Some banks too.

    And by "some banks" you mean pretty much every national bank chain?

  7. Re:Perfect is the enemy of good. on Employers Switching From Payroll Checks To Prepaid Cards With Fees · · Score: 1

    Free checking is not available in most banks.

    It's available in basically every national bank chain and pretty much every credit union I've ever checked with. You pretty much have to go out of your way to find a bank that doesn't offer free checking.

    Even when there is an allegedly "free" checking account it comes with a large minimum balance requirement.

    The highest I've ever seen is $500. And even that usually gets waived if you sign up with the bank through an employer deal.

  8. Re:wait what? on L.A. School District's 30,000 iPads May Come With Free Lock-In · · Score: 1

    Are you stupid? The $30 million is more than just for the iPads. It also encompasses staff hirings, training and support.

  9. Re: This kid's a hero of the Free World. on FBI Paid Informant Inside WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    And when did such a make believe world actually exist? It clearly isn't any time from the 1900s until now.

  10. Re:Cheap on FBI Paid Informant Inside WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    The identity of people exposing corruption. Some of these people have risked their lives to do so.

    Sort of like how Wikileaks exposed the identities of people informing against the Taliban? Why was their "personal privacy" less important?

  11. Re:HTML5, XCODE, and AJAX on Ask Slashdot: How Will You Update Your Technical Skills Inventory This Summer? · · Score: 2

    Because lynda.com just happens to sell online course videos for those specific topics at $25/month?

  13. Uhhh what? on Teenage League of Legends Player Jailed For Months For Facebook Joke · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A Change.org petition? Do people still think those have any relevance to the people they petition? Has a Change.org petition ever had any meaningful effect?

    So no different than the device you made your post from.

  15. Re:Lack of binary driver support == MIR sucks on Canonical To Ship Mir Display Server In Ubuntu 13.10 · · Score: 1

    If Nvidia had no plans to support Wayland (which has many more people behind it than Mir does) why would they support Mir that will only work with Ubuntu?

    Neither of those are dropping X11. And if they did clearly Mint will go Wayland.

    Except that the Supreme Court has ruled otherwise such as Exxon Corp v. Maryland.

    X11 since it doesn't and will never use Unity.

    Sounds pretty mundane. My jaw is not dropping. I guess you have to be a hipster to be that impressed.

  20. Re:partly engineering resources put into compilers on Node.js and MongoDB Turning JavaScript Into a Full-Stack Language · · Score: 1

    But how would that appeal to the hipsters looking to jump on the newest fad language/framework? Java is old and stodgy.

  21. Re: Citation Needed on Node.js and MongoDB Turning JavaScript Into a Full-Stack Language · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And that is "jaw dropping" how? You can already do that with several languages and nothing is remotely "jaw dropping" about it.

    No need for Silverlight which was never very popular.
