  1. Re:And Thus the Reason for Swift 2.3 on Apple Releases Swift 3.0, 'Not Source-Compatibile With Swift 2.3' (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    At some point, Apple will not allow apps using Swift 2.3 into the App Store. I don't think this split will exist for very long. Apple has the advantage of controlling both sides of the ecosystem.

  2. Re:welcome to python on Apple Releases Swift 3.0, 'Not Source-Compatibile With Swift 2.3' (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Do a new install of most Linux distributions or OS X, then type python --version. It's 2.7

    If you replace the default python with 3, shit will break. Fuck python. Fuck python forever. It's been 9 years and these fycjtards can't figure this out. Fuck them.

  3. I started reading /. back when the UIDs where in the 10k range

    Yeah, I think it was always crap. Remember Signal 11? Jon Katz? The ignorant are drawn to comment sections.

  4. Re:Does anyone with a clue actually *use* this stu on VMware: Hey, Other Cloud Services Exist · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's just a fad. Buying hardware, putting a Linux distro in the CD drive, installing, configuring, driving hardware down to hosting center, installing hardware in a cage, testing, driving home, and then repeated all this when something goes wrong or needs upgrading is much more efficient. Nothing will even compete with a Linux server in a corner / basement / under a desk.

    Bestiality not beastiality.

  6. Re:Why HTML5 apps suck on mobile on With BB10, RIM Tries To Break Out of the 'Mobile Ecosystem' Model · · Score: 2

    People said the same thing 10 years ago about web applications. The market for native Mac and PC applications is disappearing. You could do Facebook as a client-server application. There's a reason they didn't. You could do Facebook mobile app as a native iOS app. There's a reason they didn't.

    SOPA blackout would have saved Soulskill some embarrassment.

    Shocking.

    There's so much wrong with this post, I don't even know where to begin, but what I really want to know is... ...there's a non-US version of baseball?!?

  11. Re:Goodbye Nokia, it was nice knowing you. on Nokia - No More Symbian Phones After 2012 · · Score: 1

    In the trade-off between functionality and battery life, users have chosen functionality for their real modern mobile phones. Nokia hasn't been able to compete in the area of functionality.

  12. TARDIS on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 1

    First, you'll need to travel back in time to when you were 13. Now you should be able to appreciate this "sophisticated" show.

  13. Re:Of course, it's RIM on RIM Does Not Want PlayBook Devs, Complains One Potential Developer · · Score: 3, Informative

    I did BlackBerry development for years, and RIM was always difficult to deal with. Simple stuff like having to fill out the same web form every time I wanted to download something, even though I was logged in. Android and iOS have better tools, better support, better experience for the developer.

    ...one of these releases won't suck. Not holding my breath.

    I would pay good money for an eBJ.

  18. Not yet on Why You Shouldn't Worry About IPv6 Just Yet · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm still writing my Y2K compliance docs. I want to make sure they're detailed and complete before I turn them in to management. Have to get the font and formatting just right. Too soon to worry about the latest fads.

  19. Re:...And one generation behind on HTML5 on Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, but if they fixed it, what would we bitch about? Slashdot produces crap HTML and JavaScript to engender sophisticated discussion about web standards and coding practices. Also, the developers are not beaten with enough frequency or severity.

  20. Firefox blows on New Firefox iFrame Bug Bypasses URL Protections · · Score: 1

    In a few releases, it will be worse than IE. It's not even in my top three browsers any more.

    I would tell give you the list, but they're pretty obscure. You probably haven't heard of them.

    Are you sure? Word on the street is that moot sold out months ago, just no public announcement. You think those captchas are just a coincidence?

    I felt the same way until I got my first CueCat, a fresh breeze of progress across the rotting mountain of human endeavors.

    You have to average those two numbers to get the 95% figure. Don't be so lazy next time.
