  1. Re:There real reason ... on It Was the Worst Industrial Disaster In US History, and We Learned Nothing · · Score: 2

    I heard about it from the main stream media and remember being offended by how the industry was restricting coverage.

    The media needs to stop "being offended" and start being journalists.

  2. Re:obvious reason on Routing and DNS Security Ignored By ISPs · · Score: 1

    Because the cities grant monopolies to companies. You don't bring a dollar to a gunfight, unless you bring a lot of dollars.

  3. Re:Jigsaw on Java 8 Officially Released · · Score: 0

    Because Java was developed on Unix, and under Unix you're expected to know what you need the system to do. "It Just Works" is the Windows philosophy which people are now only starting to dig out from under.

  4. Re:The submission looks like a Microsoft advertise on Microsoft Releases Free Edition of OneNote · · Score: 1

    So exactly what are "people like writers, etc." ?

  5. Re:Most Transparent Ever! on Obama Administration Transparency Getting Worse · · Score: 0

    No its because they bought into the Obama mystique because they were afraid of being called racists, and can't publicly reverse their position for the same reason.

  6. Re:Search poisoning on Google Blurring Distinction Between Ads and Organic Search Results · · Score: 1

    Google is a verb. I think they've won. Pass the kleenex please, I need to put a bandaid on this jello.

  7. Re:Might not be intended for Internet MySQL on A Look at the NSA's Most Powerful Internet Attack Tool · · Score: 1

    Do you know how many cheapo hosting companies give you MySQL with your account?

    You know how socialized medicine works, right?

  9. Socialize the risk, privatize the reward on White House: Get ACA Insurance Coverage, Launch Start-Ups · · Score: 1

  10. Re:Hilarious on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has ads?

  11. specie on The Future of Cryptocurrencies · · Score: 1

    The only crypto currency is one which is not traceable. interchangeable, and infinitely divisible - gold or silver or similar. Anything backed by the whim of the government can be tracked, or revoked by the same government.

    Why do you think Iran was laughing all the way to the (gold) bank when we kicked them out of the SWIFT wire network? Now they can trade oil for gold bars and the gold bars for uranium, and there's no tracing it.

  12. why must virtue be social? on Silicon Valley's Youth Problem · · Score: 0

    Why is someone's worth measured in how much he helps others? Why is helping people a virtue, as long as its not yourself?

  13. Re:Give us men of ability on How St. Louis Is Bootstrapping Hundreds of Programmers · · Score: 1

    Right - so whats the systemic problem? Under-educated politicians? A culture which dismisses individual achievement and hard science?

  14. but its not a communal decision on As the Web Turns 25, Sir Tim Berners-Lee Calls For A Web Magna Carta · · Score: 1

    Bandwidth and CPU power have increased to the point where pervasive surveillance is achievable by government bodies. That will never change, unless you use a new Internet - which will run on the same compromised layer-1 system.

  15. How about "dont erase your array"? on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    If you have a PEBKAC error torch your array, you can have a PEBKAC error with your backups.

  16. Give us men of ability on How St. Louis Is Bootstrapping Hundreds of Programmers · · Score: 1

    The plea began to hammer progressively louder upon the desk of the Unification Board, from all parts of a country ravaged by unemployment, and neither the pleaders nor the Board dared to add the dangerous words which the cry was implying: "Give us men of ability!"

    Why is it so hard to find talented people?

  17. Suck it Diane, you Statist bitch on CIA Accused: Sen. Feinstein Sees Torture Probe Meddling · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How's your own medicine taste now?

    PS: DIAF.

    Anyone else read that as "Shoggoth" and assume THATS how they came to Earth?

  22. Re:Will OpenBSD switch to Systemd? on Interview: Ask Theo de Raadt What You Will · · Score: 1

    For systemd to appear anywhere there has to be a benefit, and there isn't one.

  23. Chiba city? on A Tech Entrepreneur's Guide To Visiting Shenzhen · · Score: 2

    "The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."

    Sounds like a wonderful place. I'll take 2 derms and slot a couple of 'softs, please.

  24. and we care because? on Police Say No Foul Play In Death of Bitcoin Exchange CEO Autumn Radtke · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Some Millenial expat dot-com dbag offed herself?

  25. Re:Arrrg, heirrrr I come, mateys! on Rolls Royce Developing Drone Cargo Ships · · Score: 1

    It already exists, it's called American college kids, hipstering their way down the years from Berlin->Prague->Barcelona->Costa Rica->Beijing. You just have to know where the current cool place is.
