  1. Because THIS is the root of the financial problem on BitCoin Mining, Other Virtual Activity Taxable Under US Law · · Score: 1

    Not that we spend more than we take in, or could possibly take in. No, it's people swapping WoW-bucks or Bitcoins or pesos or whatever that destabilize the bloated welfare states of the West.

  2. Re:Don't resist your owners! on How To Block the NSA From Your Friends List · · Score: 1

    Although the 'wage slave' comment is trollish and you'll gain no mod points because of it, +1 if I had them.

    People get the government they deserve.

  3. Go back to the beginning - flow chart on Ask Slashdot: How To Start Reading Other's Code? · · Score: 1

    Remember writing BASIC in 3rd and 4th grade, where you had to flowchart everything out first? Go do that.

  4. Corporate Personhood on Microsoft Antitrust Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson Dead at 76 · · Score: 1

    "I have survived your predecessors, boy, and I will survive you!"

    Companies which take the long view always win.

  5. All 4 users must be pissed on EA Takes Over Scrabble App, Wipes Player Histories and Switches Dictionary · · Score: 1, Funny

    All 70-somethings whose children gave them IPads for christmas must be really upset!

  6. skip the road, use long thin metal guides instead on Volvo's Electric Roads Concept Points To Battery-Free EV Future · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You could call them "rails" or something... and connect multiple trucks together when they were all going the same direction.

    Brilliant!

  7. Watch Pirates of Silicon Valley on Red Hat Ditches MySQL, Switches To MariaDB · · Score: 2

    towards the end, Steve says to Bill "Bill, our stuff is better." To which Gates replies "You just don't get it Steve" and walks away.

    Better is not always better.
    Postgres may be better, but it's "hard", whether because of a lack of mindshare, or because MySQL has a cuter name, or whatever reason - so people don't use it.
    Because people don't use Postgres, people don't use Postgres.

  8. Re:think I can petition my college to.. on Red Hat Ditches MySQL, Switches To MariaDB · · Score: 1

    You know that MySQL and MariaDB both start with M, right?

    Did you really go to college?

  9. Old York Times on Birthday Song's Copyright Leads To a Lawsuit For the Ages · · Score: 1

    This was covered on NPR back in early March. Way to step up to the plate, old media.

  10. The outrage is definitely amusing on NSA Surveillance May Have Dealt Major Blow To Global Internet Freedom Efforts · · Score: 1

    Did people seriously think that this WASNT going on? Facebook, et.al. is a government's wet dream - you self-identify all sorts of info about yourself, and probably more importantly, the relationships you have to others.

  11. Re:Enough already! on Arnold Schwarzenegger Will Be Back As the Terminator · · Score: 1

    First, the Sarah Connor Chronicles sucked. Lena Heady & the kid who played John Connor sucked. The only thing worth watching was Summer Glau's interpretation of the Terminator - a robot that does ballet? alone?
    The 3rd movie was classic - yes it had the chick Terminator, but as someone else pointed out, the old Terminator model knew it was obsolete, that it couldn't win in a fight, but it kept trying anyway. What's more human than that?

  12. Good news for us losing vision on Researchers Discover Another Layer To the Cornea · · Score: 1

    As someone who is losing vision due to a degenerative corneal condition, this is good news. Maybe soon they can pop them out, give them a tuneup, and put them back in.

  13. Hint: you are a service industry on Professors Say Massive Open Online Courses Threaten Academic Freedom · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The only people who think professors are some entitled class are ... professors. You provide a service, for pay, just like a doctor, or lawyer or barista.

    You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake just because you have a PhD. I know that's what all the other PhDs told you when you joined the club, but reality is knocking on your door.

  14. Planetary defense network on International Linear Collider Design Ready To Go · · Score: 1

    Don't listen to the propaganda, this is the first of a large installation of spaceship-killing ion cannons which will ring the globe, protecting us from aliens.

  15. Re:it's too wide on Nicaragua Gives Chinese Firm Contract To Build Alternative To Panama Canal · · Score: 1

    China manages its people like property, like a herd, thats why they take the long view. The US, in theory, is just a group of people who choose to live together.

  16. China needs busywork on Nicaragua Gives Chinese Firm Contract To Build Alternative To Panama Canal · · Score: 1

    When you have 100s of millions of unemployed single males, you have a problem. They need busy work. It would be best for them if they shipped them all over with shovels and hand-dug the canal. They also need more countries enslaved to their cheap products in order to keep their factories going, again, because if you have 100s of millions of unemployed single males, you have a problem.

  17. Re:Where is the outrage? on What Can You Find Out From Metadata? · · Score: 1

    Because the population is too busy sucking off the government dick^Wteat to care. Because that's what they voted for, to keep the children safe.

  18. Re:My Mac Sucks on Apple Shows Off New iOS 7, Mac OS X At WWDC · · Score: 1

    You sir, win one free Internet.

    Well played, +1.

  19. tabs in the Finder window? on Apple Shows Off New iOS 7, Mac OS X At WWDC · · Score: 1

    For those of us NOT on the Mac bandwagon, what's Finder?

  20. Technet on Ask Slashdot: Getting Exchange and SQL Experience? · · Score: 1

    It's like $150 a year and gives you pretty much anything you want, legit. Download and start hacking.

    Ignore the CCNA weenies. Most Cisco admins are putzes who are glorified cable pullers.

  21. Headline fail on Genetic Switches Behind 'Love' Identified In Prairie Voles · · Score: 1

    Misplaced modifier, ahoy!

    "Genetic Switches Behind 'Love' in Prarie Voles Identified" would be the more accurate (although poorly written) version

  22. The problem with a Chinese supercomputer on Full Details Uncovered on Chinese Tianhe-2 Supercomputer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Half an hour after you get the results, you have to run the simulation all over again.

  23. s/Freedom/Security/g on Schools Scanned Students' Irises Without Permission · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You'll lose both, and deserve neither.

  24. Wheat is wind-pollinated, how is this news? on GMO Wheat Found Growing Wild In Oregon, Japan Suspends Import From U.S. · · Score: 1

    -1, Obvious

  25. Re:Way to go USA! USA!, USA!, USA! on India's ICBM Will Carry Multiple Nuclear Warheads · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You really need to examine the definition of "poverty".
