  1. Above All Else on Requiring Algebra II In High School Gains Momentum · · Score: 2

    Teach it in context of its potential applications. Without this, it's no different than diagraming sentences all day.

    Sure, you'll know all about sentence structure, but you won't be able to write worth a damn.

  2. Re:...liabilities on StunRay Incapacitates With a Flash of Light · · Score: 1

    Options upon wandering into a riot.

    1. Go back inside and wait it out.
    2. Just go on in because you know you aren't part of it.
    3. Go up to a cop who probably has had all manner of human garbage lying to him, assaulting him and otherwise giving him no reason to trust anyone, let alone someone leaving a "University lecture".
    4. Break out the Molotov Cocktails Woohoo!

    Personally,. I prefer they use batons. It makes for much more entertaining video.\

    Better yet, they should carry around an 8x10 glossy of Helen Thomas. The suspect would drop to the ground writhing in horror. Though, I bet the U.N. and ACLU would call it cruel.

  5. Whoops! on Students Create Thought-Controlled Prosthetic Arm · · Score: 1

    It's made in Canada. The FDA will never approve it.

    April First FAIL for all these stories.

    You should at least make up shit that is halfway believable.

  11. Bottom Line on Wikipedia Wants More Contributions From Academics · · Score: 1

    An article that is not checked by an Editor, is not published in a manner where the quality of the article has financial consequences, you will always wonder about the accuracy of the information.

  12. Re:Slashdot has no +1 Agree on Wikipedia Wants More Contributions From Academics · · Score: 1

    In this case, there should be a +1 agree.

    So..you mean like the mod system on Slashdot...say something critical and someone mods your comment out of existence.

  18. Re:Over-reaction? Over-reach, rather. on Using the Open Records Law To Intimidate Critics · · Score: 1

    So then cite the emails, exclude them and send the rest. What the fuck is the big deal? Chilling? Hyperbole.

    If the requester has a problem, they go to court and the judge decides of the Buckley Amendment applies.

    If that is the case, they they go to court and a judge decides...Why all the hyperventilating?

    It wouldn't be "illegal". It just wouldn't apply in the case where communications are protected by other statutes.

  22. Re:Just FOAD on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 0

    Fine, he's complaining about the Framework. Who cares? What's he saying is that if you use the .NET framework, he's not going to hire you. Fuck him.

    Does he think developers get to choose their tools? With unemployment at near 10% you're supposed to say to an employer..."I'm sorry, .NET is for morons"?

    Then he says that if you do use it, you are an unimaginative and lazy SOB?

    Fuck him.

    And if you are an investor, what he's saying to you is that he's going to waste your money re-inventing the wheel...building things from scratch. He's a piss poor manager and piss poor developer.

  23. Just FOAD on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 0

    Will somebody just shoot this fucker (the CEO)?

    If you don't like a language, fine, don't use it. But don't dump on the people that are.

    I predict this fucker's company will have a union because asshole management usually end up with them.
