  1. "helpful" analytics on Rigging Up Baby · · Score: 2

    The premise that all analytics are helpful is false. Sometimes data is just data.

  2. 50 percent of the PROFIT on Linux Format Magazine Team Quits, Launches New Profit-Donating Mag · · Score: 1

    Which, if they buy enough hookers and blow, will be zero. Nonprofits make me sick. They're inevitably smug and holier than thou, while they're just working the system.

  3. if you have nothing to hide on Why Letting Your Insurance Company Monitor How You Drive Can Be a Good Thing · · Score: 5, Insightful

    then you have nothing to fear, Citizen.

    While I agree you're within your rights to let them track you for the associated discount, the premise behind this and the assumed acceptance by the privacy-less Generation is disturbing.

  4. Headline - by half? on Global Warming Since 1997 Underestimated By Half · · Score: 1

    The only thing in TFS is that they cover 85% of the globe, where does the "half" come from?

  5. Re:youtube? on Global Warming Since 1997 Underestimated By Half · · Score: 1

    Isn't that the same thing these days?

  6. Re:Hello World Example? on IBM To Offer Watson Services In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Spoken like a true developer.

  7. Re:of course their demo exploded on ATF Tests Show 3D Printed Guns Can Explode · · Score: 1

    Point: 1
    You: 0

  8. of course their demo exploded on ATF Tests Show 3D Printed Guns Can Explode · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So they can show that 3d printed guns are bad and should be outlawed.

    WTF, how is this even news?

  9. Why not just use the app on Startup Touts All-in-One Digital Credit Card · · Score: 2

    If you load all that stuff into your card via the phone, why not just use NFC in the phone to pay? Oh wait, because people won't do that either.

  10. Re:We need MITM detection as well on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 0

    You fail for using the term 'eCommerce', camel-case and all.

  11. Fix parenting and the basics first on A Makerbot In Every Classroom · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Feed your kids breakfast. Teach them respect for authority. Remove shiny attention-span robbers from the house. Teach them to learn first. A Makerbot just throws money at it, layers more crap on top of a rocky foundation, and kicks the can of responsibility down the road.

  12. why be douchey about the latest shiny? on CyanogenMod Windows-Based Installer Released, With Supporting Android App · · Score: 1

    This is a new advance from the CM people, why throw in the dig about the Nexus5, or are you just trying to brag that you have one?

  13. Re:For those who want a $15 minimum wage in the US on Venezuela: Cheap Television Sets For All! · · Score: 0

    VZ is a trial balloon for the US government, they can pull stunts which are less bad than down there, and they seem like JP Morgan.

  14. Re:And people called Atlas Shrugged Fiction.... on Venezuela: Cheap Television Sets For All! · · Score: 2

    There's a difference between GETTING money and MAKING money.

  15. Fat, Sick and nearly dead - already done on Soylent: No Food For 30 Days · · Score: 1

    Some Australian guy already did this, and the movie is on Netflix.

  16. Re:Advanced Persistant Threat (APT) on IE Zero-Day Exploit Disappears On Reboot · · Score: 1

    Just because a bunch of "security" dbags use a term doesn't make a thing.

  17. False premise - usually devs DONT want to on Stop Listening and Start Watching If You Want To Understand User Needs · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Most of the time developers want to ship the product by the due date, and usually decide that they're smarter/cooler than the users anyway. "You'll take Feature X and suck it, luser." is the motto.

  18. should be how Americans helped the NSA on How Silicon Valley Helped the NSA · · Score: 2

    Everyone wanted free Internet, free search engines, free Webmail, free coupons, free 5% off clubs, free 1-click shopping.... what did people think was going on there?

  19. Why bother with legs? on NASA's Robonaut Gets Its Legs; Could a Moonwalk Be In Its Future? · · Score: 1

    When the Martian rovers do so well on wheels? The wheel works, the leg is fiddly and invert-pendulumy. We have enough issues getting shit put into orbit and sent off to Mars/Moon/Alpha-Centauri, why are we dicking around with legs?

  20. should have been lit, in space on Sochi Olympic Torch Taken On Historic Spacewalk · · Score: 1

    via some kind of H2+O2 torch - wait for an orbit around the world, and you can say that the torch has been carried around the world. As it is it was just a piece of crap that they boosted up to LEO.

  21. Re:A synonym of "scourge" is "flagellate" on Typhoon Haiyan Continues To Scourge Southeast Asia · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    no one cares

  22. non-issue, just for new stoves on EPA Makes Most Wood Stoves Illegal · · Score: 1

    It's just like pollution limits on cars, or when they started requiring unleaded gas. If you have a stove, nobody is coming to take it away.

  23. Re:Bout time on Germany Finances Major Push Into Home Battery Storage For Solar · · Score: 1

    No, because you're socializing the profit but privatizing the risk.

  24. why care about Tesla on Tesla Fires and Firestorms: Let's Breathe and Review Some Car Fire Math · · Score: 0

    Other than the owner having a weird, slightly dirty-sounding name, who cares about Tesla? Why does Slashdot masturbate furiously in its parents' basement about anything related to Tesla?

  25. A strange game on "War Room" Notes Describe IT Chaos At Healthcare.gov · · Score: 1

    The only winning move is not to play.
