  1. Re:I'm not from Kentucky but on How Kentucky Built the Country's Best ACA Exchange · · Score: 1

    To go even further down your "founded on ignorance" path, a good 2/3rds of the population of KY is not "rural." At least.

  2. Re:No one solution to this... on Ask Slashdot: Preventing Snowden-Style Security Breaches? · · Score: 1

    This is completely awesome. I can't think of a way to kill a good company faster than putting IT in charge of all hiring.

  3. Re:This isn't news, this is just someone ranting.. on iTunes: Still Slowing Down Windows PCs After All These Years · · Score: 1

    Hooray, gigantic threads on slashdot about confused, poorly-handled Windows problems. This place has really gone downhill.

  4. Re:changes != LoC on Microsoft Developer Made the Most Changes To Linux 3.0 Code · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Describing LoC as a "not perfect" metric is an astonishing understatement.

  5. Re:USB-A (male) to USB-A (female) were also Illega on DisplayPort-To-HDMI Cables May Be Recalled Over Licensing · · Score: 2

    I had no idea why it was there, but I remember first discovering that usb slotting. "what the hell?"

    -> knife

    There, fixed. Standard procedure ever since..

  6. Re:Hah on Congress Dumps James Webb Space Telescope · · Score: 1

    Jesus will tell us everything we need to know about space.

  7. Re:What I find most amazing ... on The Most Common iPhone Passcodes · · Score: 1

    And it'll wipe itself after 10 tries..

  8. Re:Huh? on Is Mark Zuckerberg the Next Steve Case? · · Score: 1

    ..and whatever comes next needs to be able to import my facebook network. That was a lot of work and I don't want to do it again. Facebook has a great big pile of inertia working for it at this point.

  9. seems a bit limited in scope on Which Language To Learn? · · Score: 1

    Why does a specific programming language have anything to do with your marketable skills? Languages are easy to learn. If knowing a language is all you are putting on your resumes.. well..

  10. Re:Quite a lot of people use meth, too on The Surprising Statistics Behind Flash and Apple · · Score: 1

    That's a damn good point.

  11. Quite a lot of people use meth, too on The Surprising Statistics Behind Flash and Apple · · Score: 4, Informative

    Flash sucks even on real computers, I don't get why people get so worked up about this. Flash can die in a fire. A *poo* fire.

  12. So tired of phone drama on Android Users Aren't As Disloyal As Reported · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Buy whatever phone you like and shut up about it.

  13. Re:Awesome excuse on 3D Displays May Be Hazardous To Young Children · · Score: 1

    I can! Figuring out why it's bad and what else to do is left as an exercise to the parent. Surely a slashdotter can manage to work google or whatever.

  14. Re:Awesome excuse on 3D Displays May Be Hazardous To Young Children · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't hit your kids.

  15. Waste of time ? on Software SSD Cache Implementation For Linux? · · Score: 1

    This kind of thing is fairly big in some circles.

  16. Re:there are a number of comments on IBM Stops Disclosing US Headcount Data · · Score: 1

    It is better for your career and your soul to leave IBM instead.

  17. Re:Wait hold on mugger... on Gun With Wireless Arming Signal Goes On Sale Soon · · Score: 1

    That and cops are notoriously opposed (and rightly so) to the addition of any cumbersome tech that makes it harder to fire under duress. They'd be the last to adopt something like this.

  18. The correct reply is on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    "If you have problems with the quality of my work then we should discuss that specifically and independently and come up with an improvement plan."

    The rest is irrelevant.

  19. Re:Sovereignty. . . on Slow Oracle Merger Leads To Outflow of Sun Projects, Coders · · Score: 1

    Sun and Oracle are not US businesses that do business in other countries. They are *multinational* companies. See IBM for an incredible example of a country-agnostic multinational.

  20. Re:TLDR: Article is a massive troll. on Miscalculation Invalidates LHC Safety Assurances · · Score: 1

    This is the second time in a week one of these chicken little arxivblog entries has been posted here. Is this even associated with arxiv.org? I'm guessing not. Some crank with a cute domain name.

  21. Re:Dumping? Loss leader? on A History of the Xbox Red Ring of Death Fiasco · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'm sorry, did you say something? Whatever it was, it was obscured by this:

    McCain/Palin '08. Now THAT's hope and change!

  22. Re:andnothingofvaluewaslost on Reactor Shutdown Darkens South Florida · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure China would notice if it couldn't get to WoW.

  23. Re:Spin on Striving to Keep Teleworkers Happy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I also work from home most of the time. You would benefit, I think, by setting aside a "work area," and even "work computers." When 5pm (or whenever you like to quit) hits, leave that area and don't look back until the next day. I'm not saying you shouldn't goof off on the net while working, but don't goof off working after hours. It makes a world of difference.

  24. Re:US DOJ says on Second Amendment Questioned · · Score: 1

    No. It is for us to be able to overthrow *our own* tyrannical government, should it become necessary.

  25. Re:WTF ? on Wii, PS3 Sell Big In First Week · · Score: 1

    I own Zelda but not a Wii, sure. I just like to look at it.
