  1. The Big Four on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Favorite Books On Entrepreneurship? · · Score: 1

    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

  2. This.

  3. That Was The Week That Was (UK)
    That Was The Week That Was (US)
    The Daily Show with *
    The Onion
    Fox News

    As long as we all can see the difference between satirical news coverage
    (which tends to bend the facts a bit (left/right it doesn't matter)) for the laugh
    and bs stories passed off as "hard news". We can't as a platform. We all just
    gotta pay more attention.

  4. Being born twice is not any more extraordinary than being born once.

  5. Re:Gibberish? It's a damn thing scared to say. on Movie Written By Algorithm Turns Out To Be Hilarious and Intense (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The principle is completely constructed for the same time.

    No. The policeman's beard is half constructed.

  6. Let The Dissembling Begin on Microsoft's New AI Mistakenly Identifies Photos, Ignores Hitler (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Did we learn nothing from the time we made HAL lie?

    --
    I think so Brain. But why do I have to wear this itchy & scratchy toothbrush on my upper lip?

  7. "Job Creator" opens mouth... on How San Francisco Hazed a Tech Bro (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    Reviled and suddenly unemployable, Gopman spent a quixotic year spinning up businesses to solve homelessness. His journey is weirdly emblematic of today's startup-fueled San Francisco.

    "quixotic", "solve Homlessness". No bias here.

    Poor people and homelessness isn't a bug of capitalism. It is a feature.

  8. Re:Government flip-flop from the 1970s on Congressional Testimony: A Surprising Consensus On Climate · · Score: 1

    And as an AC neither are you. (real, that is)

  9. Re:Government flip-flop from the 1970s on Congressional Testimony: A Surprising Consensus On Climate · · Score: 1

    Lassie?

    What does an animal actor have to do with unsubstantiated things like UFOs and Bigfoot?

  10. Re:In other words. on Kansas Secretary of State Blocks Release of Voting Machine Tapes · · Score: 1

    Definitely not as easy as making a photo copy. Maybe they could let her pay to hire someone to sort through, find the right roll (without damaging anything), then carefully unroll and photograph it for later study before re-rolling it?

    It would be as easy as setting up a continuous feed scanner. The mechanical bits being the most problematic. And the added benefit of creating machine readable output.

  11. Re: Yes on Do You Have a Right To Use Electrical Weapons? · · Score: 1

    "Destruct sequence 1, code 1-1 A."

  12. Re:Libraries are next on Two Arrests In Denmark For Spreading Information About Popcorn Time · · Score: 1

    Nah, don't dismantle them. Too much work. Just taint them with a massive number of titles like:

    Physics - Born Again
    The Chemistry of Transubstantiation
    The Science of Sin/The Sin of Science
    Eureka, I've Found YHWH

  13. That Hideous Strength on Chinese Doctor Performs Head Transplants On Mice · · Score: 1

    Well Stimpy, is the head dead yet? (with apologies to Don Henley)

  14. I'm confused. on Ask Slashdot: Will Technology Disrupt the Song? · · Score: 2

    When did it not?

  15. Re:Hmm on Machine That "Uncooks Eggs" Used To Improve Cancer Treatment · · Score: 1

    No, I don't have Al's hammers. I don't even know who Al is.

  16. Re:I wonder how long... on After a Year of Secret Field-Testing, Brain-Controlled Bionic Legs Are Here · · Score: 1

    Better yet, get a copy of "Tetsuo, The Iron Man".

  17. I wouldn't mind the tracking so much on Amazon's Delivery Drones Will Be Able To Track Your Location · · Score: 1

    if they would just forget it once the delivery was made.

  18. Re:Yawn. on James Comey: the Man Who Wants To Outlaw Encryption · · Score: 1

    Sheesh, snarky *and* reasonable. Namaste.

  19. Re: correct on James Comey: the Man Who Wants To Outlaw Encryption · · Score: 1

    Change by accretion.

  20. Re:Seriously...? on James Comey: the Man Who Wants To Outlaw Encryption · · Score: 1

    So yeah, we finally have somebody in the government who embraces 'opt-in'.

  21. The Usual Suspects on The Power of Backroom Lobbying: How the Music Industry Got a Copyright Extension · · Score: 0

    Who is this Pisney anyway.

  22. Re:Affirmative action crap on Median Age At Google Is 29, Says Age Discrimination Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    This.

  23. Re:Sounds like upper middle class housing developm on George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires · · Score: 1

    I believe you are correct. It certainly won't look like Marin City.

  24. Midwestern Hospitality on Gen Con Threatens To Leave Indianapolis Over Religious Freedom Bill · · Score: 1

    I've always maintained, since I grew up there, that Ohio specifically and the Midwest generally is a good place to be from.

  25. May I on Why There Is No Such Thing as 'Proper English' · · Score: 1

    ... mambo dogface to the banana patch?
