  1. Thanks Polkit on Grinch Vulnerability Could Put a Hole In Your Linux Stocking · · Score: 0

    And all the other *Kits - for making things fancy and GUI and creating a generation of Linux admins who don't actually know how things work.

  2. Need a machine to tell you this? on Machine Learning Used To Predict Military Suicides · · Score: -1

    "The soldiers most likely to take their own lives were men with past suicidal behavior and a history of psychiatric disorders and criminal offenses, including weapons possession and verbal assaults."

    Thanks, Watson.

  3. Why not a tether? on Boeing Readies For First Ever Conjoined Satellite Launch · · Score: -1

    Hang a long conductor down towards Earth, and harvest the voltage potential.

  4. Relay somewhere else on Ask Slashdot: How To Unblock Email From My Comcast-Hosted Server? · · Score: -1

    Buy a VPS for $2 a month and relay to it over a VPN tunnel; Comcast won't be able to get their grubby paws on it.

  5. shitty link on Your Incompetent Boss Is Making You Unhappy · · Score: -1

    Seriously, linking to a PDF article?

  6. Re:Requiring encryption server-side on ISPs Removing Their Customers' Email Encryption · · Score: -1

    Then what do you do when it starts throwing errors? The ISP won't help you.

  7. Triumph of 21st century thought on The Strangeness of the Mars One Project · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Think about it (if you can):
    Wanting something is enough to make it happen.
    Wisdom of crowds.
    Scientists don't know everything.
    You'll be famous.

    Sounds like the recipe for external validation that every GenY and Millenial are craving.

  8. "Threat actor" - buzzword du jour on Espionage Campaign Targets Corporate Executives Traveling Abroad · · Score: -1, Insightful

    Suddenly this is the new thing. You could simply say "the thief" or "the bad guy" or "the spy", but then you wouldn't sound all Matrix.

    Lighten up, Slashdot.

  9. Re:It looks a lot like Ivee on Amazon's Echo: a $200, Multi-Function, Audio-Centric Device · · Score: 4, Funny

    Except its kickstarter, so some douchebeard will keep all or most of your money while mailing you a Debian CD in return.

  10. have they removed systemd yet? on Fedora 21 Beta Released · · Score: -1

    Call me when I can install an OS as a server, and not have to worry about GUI crap, hotplug nonsense, the *Kits, and 100 other dependencies.

  11. No one cares if you're gay, dude on Tim Cook: "I'm Proud To Be Gay" · · Score: 1

    It's 2014, nobody cares. Don't be an attention-whore.

  12. What app does it run? on 16-Teraflops, £97m Cray To Replace IBM At UK Meteorological Office · · Score: -1

    And how do they port it across operating systems? Java based? How does the parallelism work?

    Telling me how much it weighs isn't news for nerds, Taco.

  13. Re:"not so much as a default wallpaper" on Ubuntu 14.10 Released With Ambitious Name, But Small Changes · · Score: -1

    Fedora and systemd can DIAF.

  14. Anti-intellectualism of The Cloud on Machine Learning Expert Michael Jordan On the Delusions of Big Data · · Score: -1

    Like "best practice" or "zero tolerance" - I hear it all the time, senior managers and leaders talking about how The Cloud has "infinite storage" or "we'll put it all in 1 big database".

    It's not visionary to assume there's a machine large enough to solve your problem, it's daft, and it's lazy.

  15. Re:Jaded hipsters on What It Took For SpaceX To Become a Serious Space Company · · Score: -1

    All because he sold questionably valuable software company in the Internet dotcom boom. The rest gets easier when you have millions in capital.

    I mind Slashdot's endless fellating of him more than I mind him.

  16. Because safety is not the point on Speed Cameras In Chicago Earn $50M Less Than Expected · · Score: -1

    Pervasive surveillance is the point.

  17. Re:Really pisses me off! on 32 Cities Want To Challenge Big Telecom, Build Their Own Gigabit Networks · · Score: -1

    They clearly don't teach spelling at your socialist primary school.

  18. Re:before unbuntu on Ubuntu Turns 10 · · Score: -1

    Because everything you do is CPU bound?

  19. Re:GPS on India Successfully Launches Region-Specific Navigation Satellite · · Score: -1

    It's like parents kicking their kids out of the basement at last. Don't expect America to build everything, World!

  20. Re:Editor Troll on Ask Slashdot: Stop PulseAudio From Changing Sound Settings? · · Score: 0

    +1 if I had it. Timpthy is a chimp, and Slashdot is just a clickwhore.

  21. Sad that the technical stuff goes last on OS X 10.10 Yosemite Review · · Score: -1, Troll

    "Grab bag" of technical things after the themes, and screenshots of the installer.

    ArsTechnica, where have you gone?

  22. 2nd generation leaded gasoline babies on As Prison Population Sinks, Jails Are a Steal · · Score: -1

    We're seeing the longer term, generational impact of removing lead from gasoline. Fewer and fewer angry young men with impacted reasoning abilities fathering new angry young men.

  23. Censorship = damage on Journalists Route Around White House Press Office · · Score: -1

    The Net perceives censorship as damage, and routes around it. --John Gilmore

  24. Not really that interesting on Analysis of Linux Backdoor Used In Freenode Hack · · Score: -1

    a kernel-mode portknock, on a machine that you already rooted via some other vulnerable app.

    No USB, less space than a Nomad, lame.

  25. Re:Don't title your stuff "$OriginalTitleHere Uncu on Crowdsourced Remake "The Empire Strikes Back Uncut" Now Complete · · Score: -1

    Who's to say the poster is a male?
