  1. Dont have to "establish" a list - try them all on Steam Protocol Opens PCs to Remote Code Execution · · Score: 1

    Try all the popular games, you're likely to get 1 hit - and that's all you need.

  2. None of your alternatives exist without science on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 1

    Who do you think built the computers your kid is learning to write HTML on, or in all likelihood, doing his creative writing on?

    Man I hate America these days.

  3. Re:And this helps the consumer how? on FCC To Allow Cable Companies To Encrypt Over-the-Air Channels · · Score: 1

    Why does it have to help the consumer?

  4. Re:What the fuck are you going on about? on Windows 8: Do I Really Need a Single OS? · · Score: 2

    And so did Linus Torvalds. How is this anything to claims superiority for?

  5. Re:Ever notice the drug commercials... on The New School Nurse Is Nurse Ratched · · Score: 1

    Then start living that way - dont whine about how the business-controlled government fails to act - why would it?

  6. Constantly on Ask Slashdot: How Often Do You Push To Production? · · Score: 1

    We only have a production environment to develop code, and use an interpreted language, so it's as simple as editing a file and sending a few HUP commands.

    Cardninal Rule: Don't fuck up.

    It's worked mostly well for years now.

  7. Re:Where is the new iTunes 11? on Apple Quietly Releases New iPods · · Score: 3, Interesting

    None of what you wrote has any meaning to the vast majority of PC and Apple users.

  8. A strange game... on Facebook Tests 'Want' Button To Hoard User Data, Save Its Stock Price · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The only winning move is not to play.

    Is Facebook relevant anymore? It is starting to have that Myspace-like stink about it.

  9. Re:IPv6 on Take a Free Networking Class From Stanford · · Score: 1

    Except the lower layers typically aren't your problem, or require much "design". You buy 10G equipment from a reputable vendor, and you dont worry about it. What IS important is layer 3 and layer 4 stuff - that's where people fail all the time. "can you make a DNS entry for a webserver on a different port?" "its easier if you just use the 169.254 subnet" etc.

  10. Sounds interesting but isn't on Space Junk May Require ISS Maneuver In Advance of SpaceX's Dragon · · Score: 2

    Because it has "space" in the story, it seems interesting, but really, considering the amount of space junk out there and the now-familiar processes and procedures to avoid it, this is mostly boring stuff.

  11. Copypasta? on Curiosity Rover Makes First Foursquare Check-In On Another Planet · · Score: 1

    This "submission" is simply a lift from the actual article.

    If I wanted an RSS feed aggregator, I'd use a feed aggregator. Has Slashdot completely checked out at this point?

  12. Most of those pictures suck on Gold Artifact To Orbit Earth In Hope of Alien Retrieval · · Score: 2

    A picture of a flowering tree, with the sky as a background? There's no context - you only know its a tree because you know it's a tree. Grainy picture of predator drone footage? Too blurry to even know what it is... unless you know what it is. This needs to be far more universal, something like the Voyager record. The one decent picture was the one of the moon, although the moon won't be in the same place in 5B years.

    These pictures are from some Freshman Art 101 class, something a kid with an old SLR and some cheap B&W film might produce as some kind of "insightful" class project.

  13. End the stereotype please on Bruce Perens: The Day I Blundered Into the Nuclear Facility · · Score: 0

    Acting like Bruce Perens is relevant only reinforces the stereotype that he is.

  14. MMORPG? on ROSALIND: An Addictive Bioinformatics Learning Site · · Score: 1

    So you took biology, and made it into a series of quest arcs? Of course you're getting adoption from nerds.

  15. You really should go back on Ask Slashdot: Best Cell Phone Carrier In the US? · · Score: 1

    If you call it "living abroad" and are all into smart phones, then you really belong over there.

  16. Do the same with a handful of transistors on BrewPi: Raspberry Pi and Arduino Powered Fermentation Chamber · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why does it have to be a Raspberry? Why do you have to control it in C? Is it because people don't teach or know how to do it the old school way anymore? Is the effect somehow less if you DONT have a fancy OLED display?

    THIS is why I cancelled my "MAKE" subscription - too much sizzle and not enough steak.

  17. Facebook has products? on How Noah Kagan Got Fired From Facebook and Lost $100 Million · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What exactly does Facebook _do_ ?

  18. why use hipsterisms? on Teachers Write an Open Textbook In a Weekend Hackathon · · Score: 2

    Hackathon? Booksprint?

    When did mundane events and tasks become faddish?

  19. Re:What is Steam and why care? on Valve Blog Announces Dates For Steam Linux External Beta · · Score: 1

    Wow, ask what Steam for Linux is, and you get trollmodded down to oblivion. Fanboi much?

  20. Re:Installing the new version... on Slackware 14.0 Arrives · · Score: 1

    386-16, 4MB of RAM

    I win !

  21. What is Steam and why care? on Valve Blog Announces Dates For Steam Linux External Beta · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is Steam a game? An app-store? A chat server? What does this DO for me, will it resolve stupid 3d acceleration bugs? Patch my free or non-free kernel?

  22. What is Foursquare? on Can Foursquare Data Predict Where You Live? · · Score: 1

    Is this the new Facebook? A brief summary would be nice in the ... summary.

  23. Why travel to China? on Ask Slashdot: Ideas and Tools To Get Around the Great Firewall? · · Score: 1

    Where is this recent wave of Sinophelia coming from? Why would you want to go to that cesspool of human rights abuses?

  24. Translation: I am a cheapskate on Ask Slashdot: Actual Best-in-Show For Free Anti Virus? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Translation: "Hi I want to do a number of things, but am unwilling to accept the cost and consequences of my choices. How can I avoid responsibility?"

  25. Rolling Stone? on Rapid Arctic Melt Called 'Planetary Emergency' · · Score: 0

    Rolling Stone is right up there with the NYT. The liberal version of Fox News.
