  1. ...to call it PlayStation 4K!

  2. Static analysis tools... on Ask Slashdot: What Tools To Clean Up a Large C/C++ Project? · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you're company is willing to pay for it, you can get something like Coverity. On the free(as in beer) side there is CppCheck and clang.

  3. Tony Stark on The Cult of Elon Musk Shines With Steve Jobs' Aura · · Score: 1

    I was always under the impression that the movie version of Tony Stark was based on Larry Ellison. Since when did Elon Musk become Iron Man?

  4. Can't wait... on 'Reactive' Development Turns 2.0 · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...to get certified!

  5. Python False = True on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Strangest Features of Various Programming Languages? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    False and True are variables and you can assign one to the other. False = True print False Not that anyone sane would do this in real code, but the thought is still scary.

  6. Lately... on The History of the CompSci Degree · · Score: 1

    Especially with the fresh grad hires with BSCS degrees, there seems to be more BS than CS.

  7. Re:SlashBI on Introducing SlashBI · · Score: 5, Funny

    SlashBI - News for Bisexual nerds. Stuff that matter.

  8. Had to re-read the first sentence. on The Space Shuttle Discovery's Last Mile (Video) · · Score: 1

    Searched for "come out of the closet" comments. Disappointed to find out that it was "closest".

  9. Re:Kind of a bummer on Jerry Yang Resigns From Yahoo · · Score: 1

    Last time I did that, I thought to myself: "God. I can't wait to talk about this on Twitter."

    Kidding.

  10. Re:Warning ! on Raspberry Pi $25 Linux Computer Now In Production (Video) · · Score: 1

    And here's his apology from his own site.

  11. Re:I'm afraid I can't let you do that on IBM Watson To Battle Patent Trolls · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Google should get Watson to compete with Apple's Siri.

  12. Re:Analog vs digital, maybe on Dell's Misleading Graphics Card Buying Advice · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe they're comparing what an LCD screen looks like when you turn the flash on or off on your camera.

  13. Re:Innovation! on Faster Algorithm for Sphere Packing Discovered · · Score: 1

    But are they the best animal packers in the world? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pApuzdUo-I

  14. Re:Dynamics of Funny Looking Motion on The Physics of Jump Rope · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is a better jump rope model: http://vimeo.com/25808035

  15. Re:Seriously? on Firefox 8.0 Beta Available · · Score: 1

    I think you should stop caring about version numbers. They are just numbers after all. I personally prefer having small updates on something like a weekly basis allowing yourself to slowly accept changes rather than having large releases every couple of months and have a paradigm shift shoved down your throat.

  16. Re:So it's like LLVM? on Microsoft Previews Compiler-as-a-Service Software · · Score: 1

    It's going to have a GUI?

  17. Re:Who didn't expect this? on Facebook To Put Off IPO Until Late 2012 · · Score: 1

    Not a surprise at all. The title *is* the article. The words in the body are nothing new.

  18. Re:Just saying. on Linux Kernel Moves To Github · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There's this little project called Firefox that uses Mercurial. You might have heard of them.

  19. Re:What fun! on South Korean Scientists Create Glowing Dog · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I change my mind. It's not a waste of science after all.

  20. Re:What fun! on South Korean Scientists Create Glowing Dog · · Score: 1

    What a waste of science.

  21. Re:is it just me? on 'Worms From Hell' Unearth Possibilities For Extraterrestrial Life · · Score: 1

    Probably more like a test.

  22. Re:because the redisigned daleks look stupid on Daleks To Be Given 'A Rest' From Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    Problem is that the redesigned Daleks look really stupid... like shitty appliances from Sharper Image or Brookstone, from a decade ago. I get that that's probably the same way they were designed originally, based on shitty appliances, but the appliances in the 60's were apparently a lot cooler looking :)

    So, realizing they screwed up with the Dalek redesign, they decide to not have any shows about them for a while... leaving plenty of time for the new Daleks to disappear from time and the original ones to reappear. This can all be explained with a quick hand-wavey timey-wimey explanation like they usually do when things get complicated.

    Then they come back looking like humans!

    The Daleks Were Created by Man. They Rebelled. They Evolved. They Look and Feel Human. Some are programmed to think they are Human. There are many copies. And they have a Plan.

  23. Re:Security has improved on Malware Scanner Finds 5% of Windows PCs Infected · · Score: 0

    Adobe, I'm looking at you!)

    There. Fixed that for you.

  24. Re:put in music with the lyric, "Yvan eht Nioj" on US Navy Creates MMO To Fight Somali Pirates · · Score: 1

    the bear necessities?

  25. Re:RPN on Hewlett Packard's Cult Calculator Turns 30 · · Score: 1

    Me too. I've always thought it was one of those weird sex positions.
