  1. Impossible, she's too hot on Misinterpretation of Standard Causing USB Disconnects On Resume In Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    She's too hot to be a programmer. This is clearly a front or shill by some middle-aged neckbeard.

  2. "Maker" isn't a thing on How Oakland Is Turning Into an Art and Maker Mecca · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Maker" is a non-concept. "Locally created goods by hand" is what people have done since the cavemen. Just because you build something, but you blog about it or post instagram pictures about it, doesn't make this anything new, or interesting. You're not a "maker" if you build a table or a bicycle or a RaspberriPi-powered toaster, you're just a guy who builds tables or bicycles or toasters.

  3. Rich people problems on Internet.org: Altruistic, Or the Ultimate In Cynicism? · · Score: 1

    Stop Nepalese soldiers from pooping in the rivers in Haiti first.

    50% of all the deaths on the planet are attributable to dirty water. Fix that first.

  4. Re:Are we at peak drone? on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 1

    +1 and the thread to you, good sir.

  5. Are we at peak drone? on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is a model plane now a drone? What about a paper airplane? Is an RC car a "land drone"? If I have a Capsela model in the bathtub with me, did I create a "water drone"?

    It's a tsunami of hyperbole.

  6. The solution to pollution is dilution on The Secret Effort To Clean Up a Former Soviet Nuclear Test Site · · Score: 2

    Spread it out everywhere, it's the quickest way to get rid of it.

  7. Re:Uh huh on The Steady Decline of Unix · · Score: 0

    Because HPUX sucks more than Windows. It still doesn't mean Windows is any good.

  8. Also generates power on New System Propels Satellites Without Propellants · · Score: 1, Troll

    Either you use the magnetic field to move your ship, or you use the difference in potential across long wires to generate power.

    This is robbing energy from the Earth to move the space station. Quick, someone call Al Gore!

  9. First rule of nation building on How the UN Might Have Inadvertently Started a Cholera Epidemic In Haiti · · Score: 4, Funny

    Know what to do with poop. If you don't know this, you can't help other people do it. When you learn what to do with poop, then you can help other people with their poop.

  10. copypasta on Why Computers Still Don't Understand People · · Score: 0

    For chrissakes, all submitters and 'editors' are doing is copying articles from other sources - nothing original, no EDITORIALIZING, nothing. Slashdot = crappy RSS feed.

  11. Re:woosh on "451" Error Will Tell Users When Governments Are Blocking Websites · · Score: 1

    And the same government people who demanded this can rewrite the 451 to a 404 on the fly, and your average user would have a hard time noticing anything funny about it.

  12. They don't get it. The people who block your content in-line can send you back any page they choose, including a 404.

  13. Even the smallest person can change the world on Bradley Manning Says He's Sorry · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It sucks that you're locked up buddy, but you did the right thing.

  14. Re:Fucking Great. How much did this cost? on Four Month Mars Food Study Wraps Up · · Score: 1

    Appalachian Trail hikers often do. People pre-buy all their food and have it shipped to them. And it takes a minimum of 4 months for the trip.

  15. It's the government's fault on Medical Costs Bankrupt Patients; It's the Computer's Fault · · Score: 0

    Business creates opportunity and government creates oppression, not the other way around. Check your premises.

  16. Re:Microsoft Bob on Linus Torvalds Celebrates 20 Years of Windows 3.11 With Linux 3.11-rc5 Launch · · Score: 2

    It's called Ubuntu.

  17. Deep Web on Schneier: The NSA Is Commandeering the Internet · · Score: 1

    Use the Deep Web and darknets. The internet as a medium is useful, you don't have to use one of a finite list of known gateways/providers.

  18. Neuromancer on Could Humanity Really Build 'Elysium'? · · Score: 0

    This whole thing has been done before. How is this a new and interesting idea to people?

  19. 15 minutes on Elon Musk Admits He Is Too Busy To Build Hyperloop · · Score: -1

    Can this guy go away now please? Or can we at least stop fellating him every time he says something?

  20. Immortal Slashdot submissions? on Researchers Unveil Genome of 'Immortal' Cell Line Derived From Cancer Victim · · Score: 3, Informative

    The original is still on the front page. Good thing we have "editors".

  21. how is her race or social status relevant? on HeLa Cell Line Genome Data To Be Published · · Score: 0

    Unless we're trying to sensationalize. We're already doing straight copypasta from TFA for the Slashdot summaries, so I guess we have to spice things up.

    What do the editors do other than play Doom and eat cheetos and click 'Approve' on lousy submissions?

  22. Try 150 years on Dolphin Memories Span At Least 20 Years · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Arctic bowhead whales live 150-200 years. One of the reason they're so shy around humans is that THEY REMEMBER BEING WHALED. Obviously these are the ones who got away, but over a century later these things are still swimming around.

  23. Re:That means they can go Galt ... in space! on Former Director of the ISS Division At NASA Talks About Science Behind 'Elysium' · · Score: 1

    You never read Neuromancer did you.

  24. Re:who pays for maintenance? on Former Director of the ISS Division At NASA Talks About Science Behind 'Elysium' · · Score: 1

    Because not all men are created equal. Modern society OUGHT to ensure everyone starts the race at the same point, but instead we're seemingly focused on making sure everyone FINISHES the race at the same point - and right now that point isn't even making it to the finish line. There will always be smarter/faster/hotter people.

  25. sensationalist crap on Zimbabweans Hit By Cyber Attacks During Election · · Score: 1

    A DNS amplification attack is not hacking the Gibson, geesh.

    Besides, what's the point of elections in Zimbabwe anyway? To decide whose face goes on the eleventy-billion dollar note?
