  1. Re:Can you handle the truth? I didn't think so. on Global Warming Started 180 Years Ago Near Beginning of Industrial Revolution, Says Study (smh.com.au) · · Score: 1

    How stupid can you be to label moderate liberals (that I'm assuming you mean in the US because an American democrat is more right than for example a Canadian liberal) with those "socialist" nations? That's like saying conservatives like you are the same as all evil Fascist governments that have existed over time.

  2. A lot of people will need to move (most won't be able to afford it) because of your warming climate enthusiast and rising sea levels. I'm sure those millions will be as happy as you are for a warmer climate!!!

  3. Brazil rushed and missed the deadline on Wrong Chemical Dumped Into Olympic Pools Made Them Green (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    These games just shows how badly organized Brazil is/were to prepare these games. I see this in software development all the time, when a project is badly organized, things are late, patched up and rushed. The end result is visible when released with numerous bugs and shortcomings.

  4. Re:Rubbish on 90% Of Software Developers Work Outside Silicon Valley (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Almost every college offers computer science. No need to go study it in the north east US.

  5. Rubbish on 90% Of Software Developers Work Outside Silicon Valley (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    It's pretty much everywhere BECAUSE companies are pretty much everywhere.

  6. It took me 10% more time to type this, what am I ever going to do!!!

    You forgot to say "What is...".

  8. Rename it on BlackBerry's 'Classic' Smartphone Is About to Disappear (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    I heard scientists had given it a latin name: BlackBerry 'Raphus cucullatus'. Lets see if anyone gets it...

  9. Who Cares? on What Air Conditioning Can Teach Us About Innovation and Laziness (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The same argument can be made with the invention of light bulbs and not modeling homes with sunlight in mind anymore.

  10. Re:It's worse than Java EE these days. on Ruby On Rails 5.0 Released (rubyonrails.org) · · Score: 2

    How classy. You complain about him posting in a "cowardly" basis while you do the same. Golf clap.

  11. Re:Just two words on Researchers Find Game-Changing Helium Reserve In Tanzania (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Mincraft shaft?

  12. Re:new MS? nothings changed. on .NET Core 1.0 Released, Now Officially Supported By Red Hat (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yup sorry, my bad on that reading comprehension.

    What tech firms have over 100k+ employees that you worked for from startup? Google doesn't have those numbers, Apple either for example.

  14. Yes but the upper middle class works much harder than the equivalent in Europe, that is what I was alluding at.

  15. This comment is such a revealing one it is incredible. The "American Dream" only works for a select few (lucky or not) leaving the rest in despair or just well enough to get by oblivious to what conditions are elsewhere, like in Europe.

  16. They just won... on LeBron James Used A Steve Jobs Speech To Motivate The Cavs To Victory (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    ...because the Splash Brothers didn't play well enough to win, that's it. The speech is BS.

  17. Re:If nothing much is changing... on Apple Unlikely to Make Big Changes for Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    My Galaxy S4 is still chugging along, rooted and paid off. I'm in the same boat as you except minus the daughter/toilet danger.

  18. Re:If nothing much is changing... on Apple Unlikely to Make Big Changes for Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    People still need new phones because their old ones break.

    Yes, what is wrong with buying last years model which will be practically the same as this years model, but costing less? Just like the lottery, it's called the stupid tax and that is one tax I choose not to pay.

    Maybe a better way of doing something was found that you the end consumer doesn't notice but makes sense from an engineering standpoint.

    You truly believe that? Unless there was a recall or something broken, Apple isn't going to go out of it's way to cut into profit margins and spend on R&D...

  19. If nothing much is changing... on Apple Unlikely to Make Big Changes for Next iPhone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...why release a new one? I guess for suckers like my friend who has bought every single new version of the iPhone since day 1.

  20. Re:Sorry, but you will still need to work for it. on Ready CEO: Coding Snobs Are Not Helping Our Children Prepare For The Future (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    You know what, this whole math thing for evaluating algorithms is bunk. I have both a computer science bachelors degree and a mathematics bachelors degree (stats, calculus, complex and real analysis, differential equations, vector calculus and other topics) and none of it helps me evaluate and analyse algorithms. Maybe my brain is already predisposed for it, I'm as rational as they come but would you care to explain your point?

  21. Re:visual studio on Microsoft Declines To Make a 64-Bit Visual Studio (uservoice.com) · · Score: 1

    That's funny, my VS2015 acts like a champ (no errors on start) and behaves the opposite of yours, with many plugins installed and used. You can navigate all you want without using the mouse, even alt-tab like between files and such, you just need to take 5 minutes to learn the shortcuts. Maybe you are holding it wrong?

  22. Apple IIe + VIC 20 on Slashdot Asks: How Did You Learn How To Code? · · Score: 2

    Like another poster, self-taught BASIC on an Apple IIe and BASIC on a VIC20 saving on tape.

  23. Commonwealth baby!

  24. Re:"Is there a flaw in that argument?" on Elon Musk: 'One In Billions' Chance We're Not Living In A Computer Simulation (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh didn't see this comment, I just posted the exact same thing thus bringing down to ZERO the chance we are living in a simulation. The creators of the "simulation" had to have passed our stage of evolution.

  25. Smart as he is, he is forgetting something huge... on Elon Musk: 'One In Billions' Chance We're Not Living In A Computer Simulation (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    He is forgetting the fact that the advanced civilization that can create simulations of this magnitude had to evolve FROM where we are today, thus making the odds practically ZERO.
