  1. Re:Asia on Lucasfilm Unveils "Sandcrawler" Singapore Office · · Score: 1

    Singapore is a corporate tax haven and has the least corrupt government on earth.

  2. Re:Asia on Lucasfilm Unveils "Sandcrawler" Singapore Office · · Score: 1

    If you don't like it, start your own country and make chopsticks illegal.

  3. Re:The Toolkit? on JavaScript Toolkit V1.1.0 Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    You misunderstood. "The JavaScript Community" is the name of a Seattle-based indie band. Those four boys are very excited about this release.

  4. Re:yet another language on Book Review: CoffeeScript: Accelerated JavaScript Development · · Score: 1

    Partly because JS is just not nice to look at, and partly because there's just so many ways to do something in JS, it makes it hard to collaborate on a project. Look at constructors for example. CoffeeScripts solution is to take the return value of when an anonymous function calls itself and assign that to a variable. I'm sure there's a good reason why it's done that way but it really drives me crazy to have to look at code like that.

    Isn't it Myanmar now?

  6. Re:This was proposed in Oregon on Dutch Government To Tax Drivers Based On Car Use · · Score: 2

    Yes and like Netherlands, Oregon drivers should be incentivized for smoking weed. Because weed makes you stay off the highway, and in your apartment listening to Steely Dan albums where your carbon footprint is low.

  7. Re:Link on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 0

    It's a bad nickname bacause blade runners are humans who hunt down and *retire* replicants. Except for Deckard who may or may not have been a replicant himself. Great, now I feel like a dork. Thanks alot slashdot.

  8. Re:Scientifically shown to provide advantage over. on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just like how Lance Armstrong had a 50% testicle mass advantage. Unfair!

  9. Re:So Cloud v Cloud.... on Lightning Strike KOs Amazon, Microsoft EuroClouds · · Score: 1

    Hmm, 20% of the eggs in each basket I'd say.

  10. Re:I don't get it either, where is the benefit? on KDE Plans To Support Wayland In 2012 · · Score: 1

    Nobody's forcing updates on you, old timer.

  11. Re:Umm, .net anyone? on Office 15 Development To Go JavaScript, HTML5 For Extensibility · · Score: 1

    It's because of phones. Office has integrate with cool stuff on phones or it's dead meat.

  12. Re:WTF that wasn't supposed to happen!? on United States Loses S&P AAA Credit Rating · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We needed Obama to be a tough negotiator and instead he consistently gave the republicans everything they wanted. So yeah, thanks a lot Obama.

  13. Re:Awesome chips on New Chip Can Identify Liquids, Encode Messages · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes but they'll also know when you've double dipped.

  14. Re:Give away 1 or 1,000,000,000 on Amazon App Store 'Rotten To the Core,' Says Dev · · Score: 1

    In that case amazon is also out of pocket. For promoting *their app*

  15. Re:We've been over a hundred of these... on Email In Oracle-Google Case Will Remain Public · · Score: 1

    I like ruby too, and google uses python in-house, but for android's purposes yes they both suck.

  16. Re:We've been over a hundred of these... on Email In Oracle-Google Case Will Remain Public · · Score: 1

    Jruby and Jython are still Java. Air isn't, but it's kind of a turd.

  17. Re:I am a truck driver on How and Why Wall Street Programmers Earn Top Salaries · · Score: 1

    Are you heading west? Can I get a ride to Fresno?

  18. Re:What's next? Google Sex Beta? on Google Announces Google CDN · · Score: 1

    Nice astroturf attempt, Sergei.

  19. Re:No surpises here really on Google Announces Google CDN · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Speed should be a ranking factor. They still need to demonstrate better latency than competing CDNs if they want my business.

  20. Re:CDN for images only? on Google Announces Google CDN · · Score: 1

    The only reason I can imaging having a problem with lossless image compression is if you hate your visitors.

  21. Re:Jobs per on Solar Energy Is the Fastest Growing Industry In the US · · Score: 1

    better question, how many jobs per football field of solar panels?

  22. Re:Racists on Researchers Say Dark Winters Led To Bigger Human Brains · · Score: 1

    It's natural selection that's racist. The nerve of giving white people bigger brains!

  23. Re:Git is Easy on The Rise of Git · · Score: 1

    I submit that the real reason you like Git is that GitHub is pretty. It has a nice design. If the site worked half as good as it looked they would really have something. Unfortunately most of the features are ill-conceived and/or broken.

  24. Re:Lame article. DNRTFA. on DIY Dropbox Alternatives · · Score: 1

    So encrypt your stuff and push it to s3. I think that's what the article's talking about anyway.

  25. Re:First Review? on Cornell Software Fingers Fake Online Reviews · · Score: 1

    The title needs work. I spent about 15 seconds wondering what a "software finger" is.
