  1. Re:First CS assignment. on If You Type 1+2+3 Into Your iPhone's Calculator on iOS 11, You Probably Won't Get 6 (qz.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Win10 calculator just gave me this result: -8.1648465955514287168521180122928e-39

  2. If the submitter / editor thinks the Surface Studio is a tablet, I want to see their workout regimen.

  3. I can attest to the heat issues, I had an HP laptop die because the GPU un-soldered itself from the motherboard slowly over time. I'm too lazy to crack open the case and try to heatgun it back into life.

  4. Re:Nintendo is irrelevant on Nintendo's Mysterious 'NX' Gaming Platform To Be Launched In March 2017 (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    If he typed his comment with Cherry Blues, it'd have been pretty loud.

  5. Re:Even $25/month isn't true. It's more than that. on CRTC Enforced $25/mo Cable TV Is Now Available To Canadians, But With Caveats · · Score: 1

    Rogers charges $12.95 / mo for the "NextBox" rental. Also, having just spoken to a rep to change my account, switching to the "starter" plan also removes any promotional codes from your account, which will generally cause your package price to skyrocket.

  6. Slang? on How We'll Program 1000 Cores - and Get Linus Ranting, Again · · Score: 1

    "Crock of shit" maybe? "Bunch of crock" doesn't seem like it'd even be a thing.

    Replying to myself... apparently it is a thing: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/...

  7. Slang? on How We'll Program 1000 Cores - and Get Linus Ranting, Again · · Score: 1

    "Crock of shit" maybe? "Bunch of crock" doesn't seem like it'd even be a thing.

  8. Re:Annoying header graphics on The First Particle Physics Evidence of Physics Beyond the Standard Model? · · Score: 1

    So you hate every Medium post, ever?

  9. Re:Who you gonna call? on Ask Slashdot: Node.js vs. JEE/C/C++/.NET In the Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    In an enterprise setting, it's much more likely that you'd be calling IBM rather than Oracle for your application going to shit.

  10. Re:Visual Studio with ReSharper on Ask Slashdot: How To Handle a Colleague's Sloppy Work? · · Score: 1

    I think you have your Hint and Lint mixed up... JSHint is Crockford-lite, and JSLint is the unforgiving beast.

  11. Re:No, it's really not. on Royal Canadian Air Force Sees More Sims In the Future of Fighter Pilot Training · · Score: 1

    A "SAM site floating in the sky" would just be an AAM site, no?

  12. Re:Nitpick on the summary picture on Researchers Create Working Nano Laser · · Score: 1

    It's pretty clearly a shark fin with a water reflection on my screen. Are you on a smartphone or something?

  13. Re:Wow on Curiosity Spies Unidentified, Metallic Object On Mars · · Score: 1

    Hollywood would have us believe a magic sonic drill train and a couple of nuclear weapons would fit the bill nicely. Long-term planning at it's finest.

  14. I must be really, really tired today on Is Facebook Working On a Smartphone? · · Score: 2

    I read the summary title as "is anyone able to use Facebook on a smartphone?". Now if only the bank encouraged napping...

  15. Re:Just strong enough? on Killing Cancer With Engineered Viruses · · Score: 1

    It's not a question of a virus' strength... it's about the specific receptors and features of a cell that it attaches to (I believe - and let me tell you, IADNAMB).

  16. Re:nice headline on Satellite Captures Burning Man From Space · · Score: 1

    Yep, based on the headline my first thought was "... how did a burning man get into space in the first place, and what possible benefit could this satellite reap by imprisoning him?". Then my brain turned back on. Still, silly headline.

  17. Re:Raspberry Pi is an exciting project. on Ask Director Eben Upton About the Raspberry Pi Foundation · · Score: 1

    whooooosh?

  18. Re:how big for one that can out put 1.2 gigawatts on 8 Grams of Thorium Could Replace Gasoline In Cars · · Score: 1

    I think you mean "one-point-twenty-one jiggawatts". Any scientist will tell you that's the correct pronunciation and unit.

  19. Re:Antennas on Capturing Solar Power With Antennae · · Score: 1

    This. Flight of the Conchords reference for the win.

  20. Re:data storage? on Exabit Transmission Speeds May Be Possible · · Score: 1

    I nearly laughed out loud at work! Well played, sir, well played!

  21. Re:Programming in the future on JavaScript Gets Visual With Waterbear · · Score: 1

    Whoooooooooosh!

  22. Re:Superman! Faster, longitudinally, than a speedi on Graphene Super Paper Is 10x Stronger Than Steel · · Score: 1

    I'm glad someone finally put all that ambiguity about Superman's actual abilities to bed. My hat is off to you, sir!

  23. Re:Received one this morning. on Epsilon Breach Affects JPMorgan Chase, Capital One · · Score: 1

    I got this one from Best Buy and another from Air Miles. All in all, not so bad.

  24. Re:In other news.. on FSF Suggests That Google Free Gmail Javascript · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure how you could consider COBOL a failure, as many of (at least Canada's) biggest financial institutions rely on it to keep their back-end mainframe systems running. Just because something is old and unwieldy doesn't consign it to the equivalent of the Walmart bargain DVD bin.

  25. This just in... on NASA Vulnerable To Crippling Cyber Attacks · · Score: 2

    Computer networks can be accessed by computers. Film at eleven.
