  1. Re:The Marine Corps Called... on Better Factories Through Role Playing · · Score: 1

    2. Corporations are not armies.

    Would it really be such a bad thing to view them as such?

    Yes, it would be such a bad thing. If you make living together in society a zero-sum conflict game, you get hell, not society.

    You say that as though modern life isn't already a zero-sum game, both on the individual and on the societal level.

    1. Business is not war.

    It's (generally) bloodless and unarmed, but the basics are all there.

    2. Corporations are not armies.

    Would it really be such a bad thing to view them as such?

    3. Corporate imitations of military training are almost invariably done by and for spoiled brat MBA types who love to think of themselves as macho warriors, but wouldn't last five minutes humping a pack and a rifle.

    So then have them go through the training as well. The top military had to go through it to get where they are, so why not the top corporate?

  3. Re:As someone who uses GNOME 3... on Giving GNOME 3 a GNOME 2 Look · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So then they shouldn't have called Gnome 3 "Gnome". Just like Microsoft shouldn't have called Windows 8 "Windows".

  4. Re:What about asking for help? on How Facial Analysis Software Could Help Struggling Students · · Score: 1

    Learning when and how to ask for help is part of getting along in society.

    How long do you suppose Microsoft can hold out until Windows 9?

  6. Huh on Windows 8 Passes Vista, Hits 5.1% Market Share · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess cramming it down people's throats really *is* an effective way to gain marketshare...

  7. HTML5, XCODE, and AJAX on Ask Slashdot: How Will You Update Your Technical Skills Inventory This Summer? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Those are not skills for this summer, those are skills for several summers ago.

  8. Re:However... on Google Retiring Chrome Frame · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And this is Microsoft, where saying "it works" is often preferred to actually making it work.

  9. However... on Google Retiring Chrome Frame · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Just because you support the latest technologies doesn't mean you support them *well*.

    You know what's awesome? I don't care. That's awesome.

    "Have", not "of".

  12. Re:Define "real" on Ask Slashdot: Is GNU/Linux Malware a Real Threat? · · Score: 1

    DVD would be a step backwards. That's done with PXE these days.

  13. Re:Very impressive on RPiCluster: Another Raspberry Pi Cluster, With Neat Tricks · · Score: 2

    Yes, as he threw a real power supply at it instead of using the crappiest USB adapter he could find.

  14. Re:No big deal on Anti-Infringement Company Caught Infringing On Its Website · · Score: 2

    Sure, but if you're going to throw the book at them, make sure you've highlighted all the relevant sections first.

  15. Re:many want a realy linux hand-held device. on LinuxDevices.com Vanishes From the Web · · Score: 1

    Nothing is preventing anyone from packaging all the GNU tools into a .apk and installer short of not giving a rat's ass. Won't you please give a rat's ass?

  16. Re:Am I misunderstanding this? on BitTorrent Sees Sync Users Share Over 1PB of Data · · Score: 2

    The fact that you in turn save encrypted copies of their data.

  17. Re:"Science"? on Florida Teen Expelled and Arrested For Science Experiment · · Score: 1

    A bomb is a bomb, regardless of what your gender, age, or skin color is.

  18. "Science"? on Florida Teen Expelled and Arrested For Science Experiment · · Score: 0

    "Science" has a precise meaning; it's not something you can just bandy around whenever the hell you feel like it. Mixing two chemicals together isn't "science", it's "mixing two chemicals together". And if the results happen to break the law, then you just might get what's coming to you.

  19. Re: Art doesn't need remuneration on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Good Reasons For DRM? · · Score: 1

    It is selfish and full of shit! If you create a product or service that people use - then you do have a right to get money from it.

    Unless there is a legal contract, written or otherwise, there is no such thing as a "right to compensation".

  20. Re:Art doesn't need remuneration on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Good Reasons For DRM? · · Score: 1

    WTF? Of COURSE the creation of art (or anything) is dependent upon remuneration - or payment of some kind.

    If you can't make a living doing it, you can't do it.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but you probably didn't/won't get any remuneration for that post.

  21. Re:"Needs"? on Europe Needs Genetically Engineered Crops, Scientists Say · · Score: 1

    People who need food might not be able to afford genetically engineered crops once they're all that exists. And as always, the problem isn't producing food, it's getting it to the people that need it.

  22. "Needs"? on Europe Needs Genetically Engineered Crops, Scientists Say · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No one *needs* genetically-engineered crops, they simply result in a higher profit (and possibly various unknown health risks).

    Non-LTS. But it's still shorter than other distributions.

    No one offers GNOME 2 because it's effectively dead. MATE is the replacement.

    And a little further down, MATE 1.6. Fixed.
