    A 50,000 page report packs a whallop. Whether it is read or not. Keep these people away from hadoop, they might crash the cluster.
    I feel a little embarrassed by being shocked by this. Did anyone else have a wtf moment? Or should i go back to my lawn chair?

  5. last time the post office made a profit? on US Wants To Build 'Internet of Postal Things' · · Score: 1

    George Bush was in office. It takes a democrat to allow monopolies, but it takes a commie to lose money while doing it..
    I would post AC, but the flames get fanned faster this way.

    Yeah, curved! Man who buys this stuff? 3d sucks too and beta.

    This company gave you the best search engine. Then they made android. You guys like that stuff. Lot's of haters. Google is one of the good guys. (I start on Monday!)

  8. Re:Jonathan Daniel won the legal lottery on Man Arrested For Parodying Mayor On Twitter Files Civil Rights Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I was hoping this might occur to someone else. In fact the judge is guilty of a far greater crime and deserves jail time.
    blocking AC's is censorship.

  9. Re:Is this a forced sale ? on Amaya Gaming Buys PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker For $4.9 Billion · · Score: 1

    Let me answer "B." first then the answer to "A." will be obvious.
    B. - government extorts $731M from someone who is clearly violating the law. Profit $4.169 Billion.
    A. See?

  10. The IRS told Congress Friday... on After Non-Profit Application Furor, IRS Says It's Lost 2 Years Of Lerner's Email · · Score: 1

    It destroyed evidence - and go fuck yourself.
    Some congressional hearings are short and to the point.

  11. Re:Initial Offer on US To Auction 29,656 Bitcoins Seized From Silk Road · · Score: 1

    Inadvertently setting the ask price of a bitcoin at $66 is going to wonders for the market. Pull up a chair, there are going to be a lot of losers before June 27.

  12. Re:the joker in the formula on Aliens and the Fermi Paradox · · Score: 1

    Humans did not spring from the rest of the apes, fully formed, and ready to assert dominance over the world.

    They most certainly did. That is how differentiation works. Evolution only seems smooth over billions of years because anthropomorphic viewpoints tend to gloss over the 99% of species that are dead right now for betting on the wrong pony.
    The fact that Humans share 99% of DNA with Chimpanzees should clue you in that changes to the remaining 1% are catastrophic. There is nothing wrong with either the Drake equation or Evolution. They are both very entertaining and thoughtful ideas that are living contradictions of the scientific method.

  13. Re:So glad it's over on $3000 GeForce GTX TITAN Z Tested, Less Performance Than $1500 R9 295X2 · · Score: 2

    I have a built in Nvidia 8300 GS that came with the hand me down dell XPS-410 my wife brought home from work.
    I put 6 GB ram in even though Crucial and Dell both tell you it won't work. Should have went for 8 so I could have a bigger ram drive. - I actually ran out of memory the other night running 64 bit Waterfox! (that was a first.) I put a ragged old OCX SSD in it that I bought for $20 when OCZ put themselves out of business. Then I put windows 8 on it for $30. It refuses to update to 8.1. (how bad are the H1B's over at Microsoft anyway?) I will probably upgrade to CentOS 7 soon because this computer will probably last till 2020.
    Isn't this sad? I can squeeze crap out of a buffalo nickle. But the real challenge is assembling absolute garbage into a fairly usable system.
    I don't knock people that buy $1,000 video cards, they usually pay well for doing things like adjusting their "tiny fonts". Really, get off my lawn.

  14. Better for me to stay out of the fight. on Amazon Confirms Hachette Spat Is To "Get a Better Deal" · · Score: 1

    I do use Amazon a lot more than others but I don't need to. I admit I don't even know who the other Mega publisher is.
    Seems like I can safely ignore both of them till they get their bitch fight over with.

  15. Re:Resolution on Surface Pro 3 Has 12" Screen, Intel Inside · · Score: 1

    Yes, Yes I can. It is without question the only suitable prop for a starship yeoman. To think a girl would be dragging a crash cart on to the bridge is more crazy than thinking Verizon is going to give you service in the Orion Nebula.
    I thought you guys knew this stuff.

  16. Re:Or... on Surface Pro 3 Has 12" Screen, Intel Inside · · Score: 1

    Oh you want an honest assessment? Linux is a steaming pile of shit for most use cases. For ANY use case that does not involve FREE there is a better (and more expensive) alternative. I still use Linux a lot because like most people I love the false economy of FREE SHIT. By the same token, i only fell for the false economy of overpaying for an Apple product once. That leaves me with Windows. A company that is too stupid to put a file manager on their phones. Now how the hell do you think that makes me feel?

  17. Re:Resolution on Surface Pro 3 Has 12" Screen, Intel Inside · · Score: 2

    Incorrect. you don't know what ROI means.
    You could buy a really nice 15" Macbook for $2600.00 or you could start with a refurbished Dell Latitude e6400 for $150.

    If you invest the difference for a year, you could buy a better laptop every year for the rest of your life. In the end you would end up with several nice Macbooks and a house to put them in that isn't in your parents basement.
    Learn how money works.

  18. some physicists work on real physics. on Scientists Propose Collider That Could Turn Light Into Matter · · Score: 5, Funny

    Good to see. The analogy to theoretical physics I use is, it's the difference between Imagining you are getting laid to getting laid.
    I don't really use that analogy, it just occured to me and now i am sad.

  19. Re:How do they know man's actions cause this? on Humans Causing California's Mountains To Grow · · Score: -1

    Which proves their expectations were at least as stupid? Did YOU really just proposed that seasonal variation causes mountain building? Because that's what you wrote. My head hurts. And i haven't even started banging it on the desk.

  20. How about reading your code? on Ask Slashdot: What Should Every Programmer Read? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    After a year i go back and realize what a horrible programmer i am. It happens every year. But i'm getting better. I also spend a lot of time reading other people's code. I've found that if you are writing "new" code you haven't already seen in action, you just might wind up killing somone someday.

  24. Re:wait a minute on Physician Operates On Server, Costs His Hospital $4.8 Million · · Score: 1

    The advantage of being vague and obtuse probably glosses over several other specific HIPPA violations that would drag several other responsible higher ups into the mud and saved them another million dollars in fines. That is why companies spend more on administrators than on IT. /What we really need is to expand H1-b's. After all, they been telling us that for years and we just don't get it/ hmmm, why did i wait till the last sentence to add a sarcasm tag?
