  1. they will defeat themselves on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 1

    The U.S. seems to be doing pretty well while sucking at math. Fact is you don't need everyone to know math. You only need the small group that engineers your weapons and nukes to know math, the rest only need to be able to pull a trigger or press the "Launch" button.

  2. Depends on Does Learning To Code Outweigh a Degree In Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    ... and i am feeling very confident that i will never be without a job

    wait 'till you hit 50

  3. It goes the other way too on Does Learning To Code Outweigh a Degree In Computer Science? · · Score: 1

    There are a lot of home grown coders that lack the theoretical expertise for modeling complex systems. You certainly would not need a degree to build Twitter or Facebook, but you need some pretty good math and theory to support millions of simultaneous users.

  4. This is good news on Uber Now Blocked All Over Germany · · Score: 1

    Now I can tell my nagging wife that she's no longer allowed to ride in das auto with me.

  5. Obviously on Why Women Have No Time For Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Women already know everything, wtf they need Wikipedia for?

  6. I wish I would have known on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Wish You'd Known Starting Out As a Programmer? · · Score: 1

    That it would have been better to open up a donut shop instead.

  7. Stupidity fee on Comcast Drops Spurious Fees When Customer Reveals Recording · · Score: 0

    If you are stupid enough to be a Comcast customer you deserve to be charged a premium for your stupidity.

  8. This initiative is sponsored by large US banks. They don't want the competition from foreign banks to have billions in drug money deposits. I wish US companies would repatriate their profits the way drug cartels do. Even though no taxes are paid, at least the money would be spent here.

  9. They have nothing! on Exodus Intelligence Details Zero-Day Vulnerabilities In Tails OS · · Score: 0

    Exodus Intelligence - a euphemism for cock-sucking maggots. It's just FUD. Their techs are second rate hacks who couldn't make it in the ether and decided to get day jobs and pay taxes instead.

  10. That's what you get on AT&T Charges $750 For One Minute of International Data Roaming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's what you get for using AT&T - they suck. T-Mobile is the best for people who travel internationally especially Europe and Canada.

  11. Like so many things American on Distracted Driving: All Lip Service With No Legit Solution · · Score: 1

    The perception of the problem is bass-ackwards. It's not the Distracted part of Distracted Driving that is the issue, it's the Driving part. Personally I HATE driving especially in large cities. Give me fast clean public transport and I'm happy as a distracted clam.

  12. Well, that's one way on Australian Exploration Company Believes It May Have Found MH370 Wreckage · · Score: 1

    To get some free publicity.

  13. I Pi with my little eye on DIY Wearable Pi With Near-Eye Video Glasses · · Score: 1

    Pretty cool going to try it.

  14. RE: most lego's are a rip off on Kids Can Swipe a Screen But Can't Use LEGOs · · Score: 1

    So are kids. One night of pleasure costs you 18 years (if you're lucky) and about $500K.

  15. As it should be really on Study Finds US Is an Oligarchy, Not a Democracy · · Score: 1

    99.9% of the people have nothing important, relevant, or interesting to contribute to society. Shut up, go watch your Jerry Springer shows, and let those who can take care of things. It's not your capital or investments that are risk, it's ours. At least you can take solace in knowing that you have little to lose.

  16. Timing of said beer on To Reduce the Health Risk of Barbecuing Meat, Just Add Beer · · Score: 1

    Would it not be just as effective to pair a meal with a few good beers? Does the beer have to be added when cooking or can said beer be added while eating?

  17. Can't blame the incumbent or the governments on Why There Are So Few ISP Start-Ups In the U.S. · · Score: 0

    There were thousands of independent ISPs once, they extincted themselves because they lacked the vision to work together and instead died one by one. I had a ringside seat.

  18. Add some reality to the simulation on Will Living On Mars Drive Us Crazy? · · Score: 1

    Participants will be euthanized at the end of the "experiment". That's essentially what a one-way mission to Mars is, the worlds most expensive euthanasia program.

  19. The earth is still flat my friend on NASA Snaps Shot of Mars-Bound Comet · · Score: 1

    Faith and creationism are great aren't they?

  20. All I want to know is on Introducing a Calendar System For the Information Age · · Score: 1

    Will I still get cake on my birthday?

  21. random audio ads on /. on How Ireland Got Apple's $9 Billion Australian Profit · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why the FUUUUUUCK does audio randomly start playing on ads on /. who is the fucking imbecile that thought it would be a good idea to annoy the FUCK out of people. Fuck you moron, Fuck you moron, FUCK YOU MORON! Yes i'm mad bro.

  22. How do you disable audio ads on /. on Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto Outed By Newsweek · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Why the FUUUUUUCK does audio randomly start playing on ads on /. who is the fucking imbecile that thought it would be a good idea to annoy the FUCK out of people. Fuck you moron, Fuck you moron, FUCK YOU MORON! Yes i'm mad bro.

  23. Wake up HR noobs on The Moderately Enthusiastic Programmer · · Score: 1

    Programming software is a means to end... that end being huge stacks. Want my eyes to light up about programming? Want me to do hop on my desk and do the dance of joy for programming? Then add a few more 0's salary and a few more days to my PTO. Do that and I'll be happy as a clam and program 'till my fingers wear down to nubs.

  24. Yeah but... on Army Laser Passes Drone-Killing Test · · Score: 1

    Have you any new developments to report on shark tech?

  25. Stated more accurately on NSA Says It Foiled Plot To Destroy US Economy Through Malware · · Score: 3, Insightful

    China has discovered NSA's backdoor into computers, and worked with computer manufacturers to build a much more better and newer back door for NSA.
