  1. In low earth orbit on Ask Slashdot: Where's the Most Unusual Place You've Written a Program From? · · Score: 1

    It was kinda cool. I wrote a Java program to display a window on every screen of the space station requiring a Java update and reboot every morning.

  2. Awesome! on Google Unveils Self-Driving Car With No Steering Wheel · · Score: 1

    I can't wait until I truly cannot go *anywhere* without it being recorded in a government database, or a private database which the government has full access to... ready for my persecution 20 years from now! Hooray for Freedom! Oh, wait a minute, goodbye freedom. Hello Stalin!

  3. I'm all for it. on Pedophile Asks To Be Deleted From Google Search After European Court Ruling · · Score: 1

    Let's remove him from the pages of history, completely.

  4. Mre importantly, does it on Supermassive Black Hole At the Centre of Galaxy May Be Wormhole In Disguise · · Score: 1

    lead us to Bajor?

  5. I have an extreme allergic reaction when on Ask Slashdot: Minimum Programming Competence In Order To Get a Job? · · Score: 1

    People demand ". Thoughts?"

    It just really grates me.

  6. Why does anybody want to work at google? on Google: Better To Be a 'B' CS Grad Than an 'A+' English Grad · · Score: 1

    When it was starting out I can understand why people would want to work there but it has become soooooo cliched these days. Oh, google say this in their interviews, oh, google say that in their interviews... shove it where the sun don't shine google!

  7. Well it could be a fair trade. on FWD.us Wants More H-1B Visas, But 50% Go To Offshore Firms · · Score: 1

    So these guys work for 6 years and then get a green card. Do all of the people working for their green card feel scammed? Or are they happy when they fnally get their green card? The real solution to the problem is to not use foreign labour at all but instead to invest in our own people to do these jobs and then start exporting the output of the industry to other countries. But hey, that would be too simple, so let's exploit Indian's and fail to invest in our own citizens. Let's see where it gets us 20 years from now when the only expertise we have left is in lining up at the benefits office.

  8. And who decides what is reasonable!? on NSA Confirms It Has Been Searching US Citizens' Data Without a Warrant · · Score: 1

    This is the entire problem. The NSA are a law unto themselves. They operate beyond the law and beyond the constitution. They do what ever they want and we only find out about it when somebody "leaks" information. Then the same NSA can decide that that person is a terrorist and violate the rights of anybody who knows that person.

    This is the definition of totalitarianism.

  9. Let Apple run the show... on NASA Can't Ethically Send Astronauts On One-Way Missions To Deep Space · · Score: 1

    worker health issues need not be a priority over profits.

  10. Most people who "diagnose" make money from ongoing treatment. Kids who are interested in anything apart from the friggin tv and Justin beiber worship are called "Autistic" or "ADHD" these days. No. These are NORMAL KIDS, YOUR KIDS ARE THE FUCKING WEIRDOS WATCHING A SATANIC RITUAL PERFORMED ON STAGE.

  11. Free trade at its best! on $30K Worth of Multimeters Must Be Destroyed Because They're Yellow · · Score: 1

    If they got them made in the US by US citizens who spend their earnings back into the US economy then US Customs would never have got involved and some Americans would get a job making the product... but on the other hand the manufacturing costs, including the mandatory health insurance, would likely be higher.

  12. Re:Surely... on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    No. Not at all. Licenses allow reasonable copying of the material in case you lose the disks or they break. What you pay for is the digital information content, not the disk.

  13. Who has a movie collection these days! on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    "Recently I had a friend lose their entire electronic collection of music and movies" You can stream almost everything for free and if you want the files back then apparently there is this new thing they invented called bit torrent.

    Most films are so crap that they really can only be watched once anyway, if at all. How many times a year was he watching the same movies? I doubt that in 1 year he would watch 20Tb of movies.

  14. I never knew there was such a high on Researchers Hope To Grow Human Ears From Fat Tissue · · Score: 1

    demand for human ears.

  15. Good move. on Jewish School Removes Evolution Questions From Exams · · Score: 1

    Of course evolution should no longer be taught. It is a very bad theory.

  16. Apply for a job in the Apple store on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Change Tech Careers At 30? · · Score: 1

    You don't have any technical skills... so you will be perfect and fit right in!

  17. FB and YT should ban Turkey. on Youtube and Facebook May Be Banned In Turkey, Again · · Score: 1

    Show 'em 'oooze da boz.

  18. It must be legal on Mozilla Is Investigating Why Dell Is Charging To Install Firefox · · Score: 1

    They are not charging for the program. They are charging for the service of installing/configuring the program. What is wring with that?

    If people think they are over charging then they can negotiate the charge away or buy from somebody else.

    Do you think that Dell should offer the service of installing the software for free? Do you work for nothing?

  19. What is the point of such a course? on Ask Slashdot: What Essays and Short Stories Should Be In a Course On Futurism? · · Score: 1

    Why is it needed? Wouldn't it be more useful to study Medicine, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Economics etc.. or even a foreign language?

    How many jobs are out there where the qualifications includes this course?

  20. Re:Meanwhile the US traitors on US War Machine Downsizing? · · Score: 1

    So some Jew bag moderator has marked this as "troll". It is not troll. It is a valid and relevant comment. The fact is that the US government are traitors to the US people and they are busy arming the Jewish military with US tax dollars. If you can refute the facts then do so, but don't mark as troll just because you hate people who are not Jewish who do not want to pay for the Jewish homeland or its scumbag military.

  21. Is FaceBook a government spying program? on Who's On WhatsApp, and Why? · · Score: 1

    Think about it. Do they really generate so much money from those stupid little adverts that nobody clicks on? When was the last time ou clicked on a FB ad on purpose (sometimes it happens by mistake) and actually bought something?

    Perhaps the government has a dark money fund which it pays to FB (and Google) in return for the largest surveillance network ever. 16Bn for an app with 450M unverified users? I... DON'T... THINK.... SO. Just sounds a bit fishy to me.

    Just a thought.

  22. Disgusting! on Speedier Screening May Be Coming To an Airport Near You · · Score: 1

    Get rid of the scanners. There is no need for them. And while we are at it, fire all of the TSA staff who are sub human psycho path control freaks. There is no terrorism! If there were really a bunch of terrorists hell bent on killing us then they would be walking into shopping malls with suitcase bombs on a daily basis. It is easy to do. Since they are not doing it tells us that there are no terrorists. It is a big scam to get you to agree to pay these security companies (mainly Israeli?) to violate you.

  23. What a stupid question! on Does Relying On an IDE Make You a Bad Programmer? · · Score: 2

    Does driving your car make you less able to walk?
    Does turning on the tap make you less able to dig a well?

    What do you want? Do you want us to only write 1's and 0's to prove how "pure" and "clever" we are!

    Of course IDE's are better. They are designed to make us more productive. Yes, some people are very happy with vi or emacs. Good luck to them.

    But IDE makes better programmers because they can focus on the problem they are trying to solve rather than truing to remember the exact syntax and semantics of how to do it.

  24. Meanwhile the US traitors on US War Machine Downsizing? · · Score: 0

    who sit in congress will be busy upgrading the Jewish military with our tax dollars.

  25. Re:People need to stop taking UAE Clerics... on UAE Clerics' Fatwa Forbids Muslims From Traveling To Mars · · Score: 1

    Some Jew bag marked this as flame bait! This is not flame bait, it is a serious point. We have people here posting anti-Islam comments all over this article. My comment points out their hypocrisy.
