LOL, I knew that I wasn't the only one thinking that. I'm not the only one who's going to find an excuse to be the first (or last) one in the office one day this week...
Jesus fuckin' Christ on a cracker, you've been here how many years? And you're still getting blatantly trolled? Shit, you're easier than Kathleen Fent. Maybe it's time to turn in the user ID and call it a day, man.
By the way, I'd like to mention that this is based on a hilarious Ninja/Pancake troll that I can't find anymore. Since troll IP theft is now so common, I just decided to join in... I replaced all references to ninjas with references to faggots and all references to pancakes with references to penis. If the original Pancake Ninja would like to repost the original text, you will have my props.
What do your lamer Scottish friends say when you tell them you've got a.us domain? "But it spells Locutus! I am so very clever!" Oh, yes, laddie... now run along now and play with your Next Generation action figures! By the way, who wants to bet that this picture was taken at a Star Trek convention where Mr. Sanity was wearing a homemade officer's jumpsuit?
Except for the fact that no serious business on Earth uses Macs. (And no, I don't consider Apple Computer to be a serious business.) It's possible that life on other planets uses Macs for business, but certainly not intelligent life, and certainly not life capable of interstellar travel. (Mac-using aliens would probably be hesitant to leave their planet, for fear that they'd be tinkering with the inner workings of the universe and thus void their warrantee. The Mac-using alien is much happier just sitting on the ground and looking at the pretty, shiny stars.)
The title of this story is "NIST Estimates Sloppy Coding Costs $60 Billion/Year."
This title is stupid -- not all bugs are due to "sloppy coding," you idiot. Every programmer occassionally makes mistakes, and anyone who claims otherwise is either a moron who doesn't know what he's talking about or a newbie who's never gotten farther than "Hello, world!" in Visual Basic. So which category do you fit into Timmy? Morons or neophytes?
Several of the pioneers of computing have famously said how surprised they were that they'd be spending so much of their time fixing their own misatkes, i.e. bugs. Are you implying that they were being "sloppy," Timmy? When you're working with an unfamiliar API, distracted by business-related concerns, or on a late/rushed project, you're bound to make some mistakes. It's part of the learning process, and it's part of being a professional programmer -- as opposed to a Linux-poseur who spends all day posting flamebait anti-Microsoft "articles" (hyperlink reposts) on a dead weblog, like some people.
Many bugs are caused by sloppiness, yes. But to imply that all software bugs are caused by sloppy programming is stupid. The NIST report did not say that, Timmy. You did. The NIST report says that bugs in general cost $60 billion, and you said that "sloppy coding" cost that much.
In the wake of September 11th, I think that the "Lord of the Rings" creators are pretty insensitive and callous to be releasing a film called "The Two Towers." The title is obviously a reference to the destruction of the World Trade Center, and I find it even more suspicious that many characters in this "Lord of the Rings" series have beards, just like the Muslim enemy. I wouldn't be surprised if the phrase "Lord of the Rings" is a reference to the terrorist "rings" and their false heathen "lord," Allah. The governments of both America and Britain should investigate exactly who this "Tolkien" fellow is, and where the revenue from the film are going. I will certainly not see a film is its profits will help Osama bin Laden buy a nuclear missile.
I know that the creators are British, and thus aren't expected to be as sensitive to such issues as Americans, but it's pretty awful all the same. Maybe they hope to gain publicity through notoriety -- worldwide news agencies will be sure to capture the American reaction when the film is released, and "all news is good news," right?
But I thought that Slashdot was above that. This site has a reputation of journalistic integrity that should be upheld. I hope that this story and all other terrorist-related stories are removed immediately.
Oh, wait a second -- she's from SLC! That's the girl that everyone's been talking about on the news, right? My bad, I should really keep up-to-date on crapflood-worthy current events.
You're contradicting yourself. First you say that we shouldn't try to convert the rest of the world to our fucked-up ways. Then you say that we should convert to the rest of the world's fucked-up ways. You can't make a plea for your own individualism and then try to take away ours, little man. What a moron. Where are you from, Asia or something?
Here's what I think of your stupid fucking Swedes: Zee Svedes ere-a muruns vhu shuoold be-a keelled. Bork bork bork! Zeey du nut deserfe-a tu leefe-a! Deet tu zee Svedes, I sey!
Wow. When you see an article like this, it makes you glad to be alive in an era when such technology exists. My question is, how do think this will affect the Open Source community?
This Generic Slashdot Post was brought to you by Scoop -- kicking Slash's ass for as long as anyone can remember.
Oh, I don't really care about the dollar, moron. I just like calling you what you are. A moron.
If you prefer, I could call you an idiot instead, or perhaps even a retard. Both are equally accurate. Do be sure to tell me which you prefer, moron! Please do! Tee hee!
Just get a "loud pipes," a huge aftermarkets spoiler, and a bunch of stickers from non-existant race shops like all the rest of the degenerates. While you're at it, spend your mall paycheck on an Armani t-shirt and a fake gold chain so that you can tell your homies that you're living the "high life." Maybe they will even help you find a nice teenager to impregnate! Great job, "G!"
Sorry, no one cares about your third-world funny money. But this reply should give you hope that perhaps, one day, you will make an interesting or insightful comment! Well, not you specifically, but maybe some else who kind of looks like you but was born in a less lame country. Sorry!
And learn Spanish, you freak! You aren't making any friends among your drug-dealing terrorist neighbors by continuing to insist on individuality. If you were a miltary power, it'd be different, but the average Colombian street punk in the US could take your entire Brazillian "army" military in about five minutes, with one brazo tied behind his back! Your only hope is to scare away all enemies with your freaky tribal dancing. El Brasil es un país estúpido y su gente es coja!

Hey, question for you. Send me an email (use the one on T.C, not the one listed in my /. user prefs). Thanks.
This is really, really good stuff.
FreeNet is actually a huge child pr0nography sharing network, says homo Trekkie founder Ian.
Please, discuss.

Ian, I'm sorry that I called you nasty names. I didn't know that you were gay, and I try to always support my gay brothers and sisters. Peace out.

Wow, maybe Malda should move to Australia.

I didn't know WTF you were talking about, so thank Jobs for Google. Is this her? And are you the kidnapper?

Wow! YHBT, but being a clueless newbie, I guess you wouldn't know that. Please, kill yourself at the first available opportunity!
Hmmm... yep, you're a moron.
