  1. Re:$2b / 9m users on GitHub Seeks Funding At $2 Billion Valuation · · Score: 1

    And then someone has to take care of, and maintain that shit. That's time not spend making something useful.

  2. What's news? on Unreal Engine Code Issues Fixed By Third-party Company · · Score: 1

    Company releases product as open source project. Other company submits code to open source project. Why is this even news?

  3. Re:So what's that in metric? on CDC: Americans Getting Heavier, Average Woman Weighs As Much As 1960s Man · · Score: 1

    Haha, is that the same kind of world cup as the baseball world series?

  4. Re:Oh the irony on Whitehouse Mandates HTTPS For Government Sites and Services · · Score: 1

    You do realize NSA can just query all the government websites' databases and logs for whatever you look at and post to these secure websites right? HTTPS doesn't prevent NSA from looking at your activies on a government website. Please don't be retarded.

  5. Re:Worth anything? on Jewels From an Ethiopian Grave Reveal 2,000-Year-Old Link To Rome · · Score: 1

    Ah, but where's the fun if everyone just RTFA? Then you can't tell people to RTFA. What would the internet be without that?

  6. Re:Worth anything? on Jewels From an Ethiopian Grave Reveal 2,000-Year-Old Link To Rome · · Score: 1

    Why make it so difficult? All you had to say was "No. Ethiopia won't see a dime. Germany gets it all."

  7. Worth anything? on Jewels From an Ethiopian Grave Reveal 2,000-Year-Old Link To Rome · · Score: 4, Interesting

    All these treasures, are they worth anything? Will the Ethiopian people see a penny from all these treasures? Will they even see the treasures? Does anyone even care about Ethiopians?

  8. Re: The government can't get it right on US Office of Personnel Management Hacked Again · · Score: 1

    Tesla got a loan from the Government. And they paid it back.

  9. Re:Is there any way to reverse entropy? on There Is a Finite Limit On How Long Intelligence Can Exist In Our Universe · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  10. An example on Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht Sentenced To Life In Prison · · Score: 1

    He's the first. They're making an example of him to scare the rest of the plebs. It will not work. Nothing to see here. Move along.

  11. Re:Prostitute? on Ask Slashdot: Moving To an Offshore-Proof Career? · · Score: 1

    You don't get out much, do you? It's all Thai and Eastern European out there.

  12. Re:Will wormholes work FTL in this flat universe? on Shape of the Universe Determined To Be Really, Really Flat · · Score: 1

    Haven't you ever seen the movies where they explain wormholes? They take a piece of paper, fold it and punch a hole through it. That's how a wormhole works. If the universe is flat, we just need to figure out 1) how to fold it, and 2) how to punch a hole, and we're good to go.

  13. Re:Counter strike 1.6 not being played anymore on Counter-Strike Finally Gets the League It Deserves · · Score: 1

    May be that 1.6 is a better game to play, but CS:GO has everything that made 1.6 fail as a spectator game.

  14. And yet, the stock price is at an all-time high. Must be all the media attention!

  15. No videogames allowed on 2K, Australia's Last AAA Studio, Closes Its Doors · · Score: 0

    Does Australia even allow video games anymore?

  16. Re:better idea on UN To Debate Lethal Autonomous Weapons · · Score: 1

    Western Europe has always been on the forefront of civilization, no? Except perhaps for the Dark Ages. Sorry about that one.

  17. Re:What is so special about Xeons? on US Blocks Intel From Selling Xeon Chips To Chinese Supercomputer Projects · · Score: 1

    When talking CPUs you can't get them much faster or more feature-rich than Xeon. Intel has, simply put, pushed far ahead of any other competitor on the market, and they don't seem to be slowing down. But the price will match that to be sure, which is why AMD still has a market share.

  18. Hm on Ask Slashdot: Living Without Social Media In 2015? · · Score: 1

    I put things on LinkedIn because I know what's going to happen with those things. They'll be distributed to clients, employers, colleagues, headhunters and other buy-in advertisers, and of course NSA. On the other hand, I don't put anything on Facebook, and I ask people not to take pictures of me at events, because I have absolutely no idea where that will be going and who will be watching it. Besides I don't want or need to catch whatever stupid it is that drives people to waste a whole monitor on Facebook at work and at home.

  19. Knots? on World's Largest Aircraft Seeks Investors To Begin Operation · · Score: 1

    Why is the speed measured in knots? Do they throw ropes off the side of airplanes to measure how fast they're flying? I'm not in that business so I genuinely don't know. I just figured km/h, or mph if absolutely necessary, would paint a clearer picture. I mean if I ask Google what 80 knots is, he says its 148.16km/h. I can work with that number. I can relate to that number. But who measures things in knots? And why?

  20. How about on Secret Service Plans New Fence, Full Scale White House Replica, But No Moat · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    How about getting a president that isn't so unpopular he needs protecting from anything and everything?

  21. Re:Should be simple on Arduino Dispute Reaches Out To Distributors · · Score: 2

    Lawyers are the upper-class version of a street thug. You need someone taken out? Get a lawyer. Someone's got a beef with you? Get a lawyer. They are the worst kind of person in the world because their existence serves only to further their own existence. They are the cancer that is ruining your country. I'm not a doctor but even I can see that. What's worse is when a lawyer gets half a brain and starts going at it for himself. Then you have a politician. Lower down the ladder you have the people too dumb to be lawyers. They're called cops. So Cops Lawyers Politicians is what you have, and then all the people standing on the sideline cheering them on. I can't wait for your country to burst into flames.

  22. Hack the planet on Hack Air-Gapped Computers Using Heat · · Score: 1

    Hack the planet! With heat! Wait a minute...

  23. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong on How Space Can Expand Faster Than the Speed of Light · · Score: 1

    Hm. So I'm not completely off my rocker. That's actually quite comforting to know. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to all of my ranting.

  24. Correct me if I'm wrong on How Space Can Expand Faster Than the Speed of Light · · Score: 2

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but do we even know how big "space itself" is? I mean sure, we have an idea as to how much of it we can see thanks to radiation and whatnot, but who's to say it's not actually bigger than we ever thought? We live at the bum end of the galaxy, who's to say we don't also live at the bum end of a universe that expands twice or a hundred times farther in the other direction than we ever considered? And who's to say that all of what we can see actually belongs to our universe and isn't just spill-over from a bunch of intersecting universes? And who's to say our big-bang-bubble-universe isn't just one in countless universes expanding all throughout space itself? What is space itself anyway? Isn't it just an arbitrary construct created to give ourself some sense of importants, some sense of being in a specific place and time, because our simple brains can't cope with not knowing where we are and how the universe revolves around us? What is the question about life, the universe and everything, anyway?

    So what you're saying is ignorance breeds anger? No wonder Americans are so angry . Muhauhauhauhauhauhauhauha.
