  1. Re: Mediocre ppl with no imagination! on Microsoft Is Buying LinkedIn For $26.2 Billion (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    Inflation is oscillating around 0 these days

  2. Re: Another one bites the dust on Microsoft Is Buying LinkedIn For $26.2 Billion (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    Hey, they bought Minecraft, remember?

  3. Rocket scientists on NASA Safety Panel Finds Concerns With the Journey To Mars (examiner.com) · · Score: 2

    So trip to Mars is dangerous? Go figure...

  4. Re:Just wait.... on $70k Salaries Didn't 'Backfire'; Gravity Payments' Profits Have Doubled (inc.com) · · Score: 1

  5. Re:Ping-Pong diplomacy on Chinese Tech Companies Hire 'Cheerleaders' To Motivate Programmers · · Score: 2

    She gets a cat. Or three.

  6. Stupid solution on San Francisco's Public Works Agency Tests Paint That Repels Urine · · Score: 2

    In the meantime, other cities (Amsterdam, NL for instance), simply put free, public toilets everywhere. I think it works a tad better.

  7. Re:I like Ken... on Disney Replaces Longtime IT Staff With H-1B Workers · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but taxes in NL are so high, no-one would come to work there otherwise. And the "30% ruling" only brings the income tax to the level you experience in most other European countries. And it's not only for foreigners. You can be Dutch national, just living abroad for certain number of years.

  8. Re:They don't know what "hard" is. on SpaceX's New Combustion Technologies · · Score: 1

    You should have used MongoDB. It supports such a web-scale!

  9. Re:Marketing? on Anonymous Claims They Will Release "The Interview" Themselves · · Score: 1

    _Don't attribute to malice, what can be explain by mere incompetence_

  10. Re:Time for the H1-B program to die on LinkedIn Study: US Attracting Fewer Educated, Highly Skilled Migrants · · Score: 1

    Except Nepali, Buthani, Mongolians, Sri-Lankans...

  11. All they need is some money on Russia Pledges To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Great plan. Now all they need is 10 consecutive years of oil prices above $200/barrel to finance the enterprise.

  12. Re:I bet Putin couldn't go to the moon on Russia Pledges To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    He would need a special space suit with transparent upper section.

  13. Re:And the speculation was completely off on NASA's Manned Rocket Contract: $4.2 Billion To Boeing, $2.6 Billion To SpaceX · · Score: 1

    For 1/10 the price of Oracle you can get _fantastic_ support for Postgres. Just sayn'....

  14. Re:That's government spending for you.. on NASA's Manned Rocket Contract: $4.2 Billion To Boeing, $2.6 Billion To SpaceX · · Score: 1

    *grated

  15. Squad, take note! on NASA's Manned Rocket Contract: $4.2 Billion To Boeing, $2.6 Billion To SpaceX · · Score: 1

    This is how KSP contracts should work, and not some silly "test the parachute while landed on the Mun"!

  16. Re:Who would have thought on The Documents From Google's First DMV Test In Nevada · · Score: 1

    LOT pilots don't lack any skills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  17. Re:Who would have thought on The Documents From Google's First DMV Test In Nevada · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone was consulting the construction of the plant with local population.

  18. Makes sense on Report: Microsoft To Buy Minecraft Studio For $2bn+ · · Score: 1

    Makes perfect sense. The Minecraft's UI should integrate with Metro seamlessly.

  19. Re:Oh god so what? on C++14 Is Set In Stone · · Score: 1

    Good luck with your typedefs:

    template<typename Range>
    double mean(const Range& range)
    {
      double sum = 0.0; int count = 0;
      for(auto& v : range) {
        sum += v;
        ++count;
      }
      return sum/count;
    }

  20. Slashdotters, do not disappoint me! on Cisco To Slash Up To 6,000 Jobs -- 8% of Its Workforce -- In "Reorganization" · · Score: 1

    Comments about H1Bs in 3... 2... 1...

  21. Re:Huh? on Idiot Leaves Driver's Seat In Self-Driving Infiniti, On the Highway · · Score: 1

    Or more importantly: drunk texting!

  22. Hire some of the folks fired by MS! on Digia Spinning Off Qt Division Into New Company · · Score: 2

    Wonder if this is a coincidence that they are doing it now, when MS is laying off quite a lot of ppl in Finland. They could grab some of the workforce, possibly even some of the original Trolls who ended up being Nokia employees.

  23. Re:its why devs cringe. on PHP Finally Getting a Formal Specification · · Score: 1

    Want static typing? Use Cython.

  24. Re:Old dreams on A Look At NASA's Orion Project · · Score: 1

    I too regret that such a cool name is wasted for slightly enlarged Apollo CM, which looks outdated even in comparison to SpaceX's Dragon.

  25. Re:All IS Lost on NASA's Orion Spaceship Passes Parachute Test · · Score: 1

    More like 3000 years. It took us 1000 years to recover from the collapse of Roman Empire.
