  1. Re:Shock on Survey: 56 Percent of US Developers Expect To Become Millionaires · · Score: 1

    No kidding. Count how many /. Comments begin with "I"

  2. Matches. on Kids Can Swipe a Screen But Can't Use LEGOs · · Score: 1

    What happened to playing with matches?

  3. Re:subverting the intention on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    he should have been locked up for the rest of his life for abusing his authority against actual peaceful citizens

    At least you have perspective.

  4. Re:I'll give you six amendments: on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    and make them perceived as a tool (similar to a chainsaw or weed whacker)

    I use my weed whacker far more often than a gun. Should we also require schools to teach children gardening and home maintenance?

  5. Run! on OpenBSD Team Cleaning Up OpenSSL · · Score: 1

    The OpenBSD has started

    The OpenBSD cometh.

  6. I don't get it. on How Amazon Keeps Cutting AWS Prices: Cheapskate Culture · · Score: 1

    So the story is Amazon provides cheap services by cutting costs. Is this new or some kind of bad thing?
    The way I see it the consumer benefits from cheaper service.

  7. New Flash on Fruit Flies, Fighter Jets Use Similar Evasive Tactics When Attacked · · Score: 1

    When shit gets attacked it tries to get out of harms way. Thanks Slashdot. Now I know.

  8. Mountains of of molehills on Mozilla CEO Firestorm Likely Violated California Law · · Score: 1

    Get some fucking perspective people. This guy's (small) donation had zero effect on the proposition's outcome, nor did it have any effect on the Mozilla foundation (before anyone knew about it). All of his contributions to Mozilla have been exemplary and accepted until someone found out he supported pop 8.

    Someone took a non-issue and cried "biggot", in effect doing more harm to Mozilla and Brendan Eich than was done by the donation itself.

    The "Moral Authority" that has convicted Brendan Eich is unleashing a powerful weapon and setting a terrifying precedent in the U.S.: exercise free speech (read lobbying, money as free speech) and be ostracised.

    It is comical that the "Moral Authority" on this issue fights for "Equality" by denying to others.

  9. Alternatives on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Perhaps ReactOS could be an alternative?

  10. "Feel Good" on Bunnie Huang's Novena Open Source Laptop Launches Via Crowd Supply · · Score: 0

    For the low price of $1.9K you can buy karma wrapped as a useless pile of shit or your choice any top of the line proprietary laptops.

  11. Option #4 on NASA Can't Ethically Send Astronauts On One-Way Missions To Deep Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let China go first.

  12. Re:Lawmakers need to do the right thing on Social Media Becomes the New Front In Mexico's Drug War · · Score: 1

    A bottle of opium is only a government-subsidized $5 script away for most, which explains the growing problem with painkiller addiction.

    Exactly This.
    This is why the "war on drugs" exists in the first place. It's a knee jerk reaction to a justifiable fear of addiction.

  13. Re:Climate Denial on UN Report: Climate Changes Overwhelming · · Score: -1, Troll

    So if someone disagrees with you (or the article) they are immediately labeled a climate denier?
    Way to win an argument, might as well call them racist while you're at it.

  14. The Cop's Thoughs on Minnesota Teen Wins Settlement After School Takes Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    I would love to see the Cop's thoughts on this.
    You would think that an officer of the law should be well aware of what the law is and when (they are) doing something is directly violating someone's rights (especially that of a child).
    I wonder how they felt intimidating a child?

  15. Re:Nope on Facebook Buying Oculus VR For $2 Billion · · Score: 1

    facebook will find a way to monetize me and what I do beyond the purchase price of the Rift. That's what they do;

    Really? What facebook products have you purchased so far?

  16. Re:Meaningless statistic on WHO: Air Pollution 'Killed 7 Million People' In 2012 · · Score: 1

    However such misleading headline doesn't surprise me: the UN is a master of over-hyped sky-is-falling chicken-little statistics.

    I would love to see the statistic about how many people will use this statistic as evidence in their next argument.

  17. Re: I don't understand length limits on Top E-commerce Sites Fail To Protect Users From Stupid Passwords · · Score: 1

    I hope this is sarcasm.

    Length is important because the longer the length the harder it is to brute force.

  18. We're doomed on Study: Elephants Have Learned To Tell Certain Languages Apart · · Score: 4, Funny

    'The trouble is elephants are too smart to be fooled by us for long.'

    We're doomed.

  19. Flame bait on Can Science Ever Be "Settled?" · · Score: 1

    This is obvious flame bait.

  20. Telephone on First Study of the Evolution of Memes On Facebook · · Score: 1

    I remember we did this study in the 5th grade. It was called "Telephone". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...

  21. Model of efficiency on Is Traffic Congestion Growing Three Times As Fast As Economy? · · Score: 1

    I know at 5 o'clock when I'm getting onto the freeway and see miles of cars standing still, then looking around at the beaten, downtrodden, frustrated and exhausted commuters that this is indeed the pinnacle of human efficiency.

  22. What if noone is present? on Supreme Court Ruling Relaxes Warrant Requirements For Home Searches · · Score: 1

    They say police may enter and search when they have the consent of an occupant. Because Fernandez was not there to object, “the police acted reasonably in relying on her [Fernandez's girlfriend’s] consent to search the premises,” Karlin wrote.

    And by this logic, if noone is there to object they can search at will?

  23. Problem Solved. on 'Google Buses' Are Bad For Cities, Says New York MTA Official · · Score: 1

    Why not let your employees telecommute.

    Seriously, how many people working there actually *have* to be there to perform some job function? I'm willing to bet most could easily work remotely.
    This will help traffic. No commute for the employee, and less traffic on the road for those that really do need to be on-site.
    The employee get's to live where they want to live.
    The "green" crowd is happy because of less greenhouse gasses and consumption of energy.
    The business will not have to house so many people, will save on utility bills, office supplies, insurance and rent - lowering operating costs.

    The only people this does not appeal to is the boss-man fucktard overlord types that need to see an army of people sitting beneath them slaving feverishly away at killing time and trying to look busy.
    How else are they going get their ego boost?

  24. Might as well end it now. on Scientists Study Permian Mass Extinction Event As Lesson For 21st Century · · Score: 1

    Screw it. Might as well give up and end it all now, knowing that there may be a mass extinction sometime between 5,000 and 60,000 years from now. What's the point?

  25. When is it too much? on Facebook Debuts New Gender Options, Pronoun Choices · · Score: 1

    At some point wouldn't it just be easier to remove the classification altogether?
