  1. Every computer comes with a beginner's language on Melinda Gates Was Encouraged To Use an Apple and BASIC. Her Daughters Were Not. (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    It's called JavaScript, and every computer comes with an interpreter (web browser) pre-installed.

  2. DRM on In Wake of Poor Reviews, Amazon Yanks SimCity Download · · Score: 5, Informative

    Use always-on, internet-requring DRM they said. It will work fine, they said.

    Sadly, EA will not admit DRM is the problem, they will just attribute it to "overwhelming demand".

  3. As soon as it's ready on Ask Slashdot: How Often Do You Push To Production? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Most companies I've worked for have a continuous deployment cycle. All changes, from small bug fixes to major releases go through a ticketing system. After the ticket has gone through all the steps (code review, QA, UAT) it goes into the deployment manager's queue, who then deploys the change to production depending on each ticket's priority. This means that in general, changes go out as soon as they are ready, sometimes up to two times a day for the same project.

  4. Re:No professional developer uses WYSIWYG on Ask Slashdot: Value of Website Design Tools vs. Hand Coding? · · Score: 2

    I completely agree with this. Having been a professional web developer for 8 years, I could not imagine any of my coworkers ever working with a WYSIWYG editor. The only thing you would accomplish is a big unmanageable mess, and a slap on the face by the developer who has to clean it up. Yes, there are better tools than Notepad++, but the solution is not a "web design" tool.

  5. Too soon on jQuery 2.0 Will Drop Support For IE 6, 7, 8 · · Score: 1

    I hate old IE versions as much as every other web developer, but I don't think this is the right way to go yet. One of the main reasons most developers love jQuery is because it allows them to forget about IE quirks and lack of compliance, and just write code. I think it would be better if they continued to support IE in their main branch, but also offer a "lite" version without IE support.

  6. ORLY? on Spam Text Prematurely Blows Up Suicide Bomber · · Score: 0

    How could anyone know this happened? Did they interview the bomber's handler after the incident?

  7. First... on British MP Calls For Pornography 'Opt-In' · · Score: 1

    ...to opt-in!

  8. Yo Dawg! on Pirate Bay Archive Goes Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    I herd you like torrents, so I put a torrent in your torrent so you can leech while you leech...
