  1. excuses excuses excuses on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    look we need to move past this behavior and culture. its something from an ancient time. like dot matrix printers or cathode ray tubes. we are supposed to be growing and evolving as a species not regressing to our prehistoric aggressive instincts.

  2. lol Berenstein Bears - you win dude on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 2

    great reference, great post. although any community where you scream STFU at people seems like not one i want to join.

  3. until he starts throwing chairs .... on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    then what will we say? "at least he isnt murdering his wife like Hans Reiser?"

    come on guys. we have to stop the verbal abuse in the industry.

  4. the illusion of success on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    was jobs successfull because he was an asshole, or in spite of him being an asshole?

    the biggest successes are often things we dont hear about and work done by people we dont know about.

  5. any parent who screams at their kid on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    usually winds up asking themselves "why does this kid scream so much"?

  6. chuck yeager on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    being blunt is one thing. screaming SHUT THE FUCK UP is another.

    lets look at a different style of 'leadership' (vs 'management')

    Yeager never raised his voice, to anyone.

    when one of his students had an oxygen system failure in his plane and was beginning to black out, the only thing that woke him up into consciousness was yeager yelling at him - because it was so unusual.

  7. we are the users. remember us? on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    the whole thing, the whole industry, exists because of the user, for the user.

    i think linus is starting to get too angry lately using the F word over and over in public forums. he wouldn't have done that in the early 1990s. we need to get back to our roots.

  8. how does yelling help the kernel? on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    i would never want to work on a project where i yelled at anyone or where they yelled at me.

  9. do you have to scream at someone to STFU? on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    seriously, the man seems a bit overly angry lately, maybe a little therapy would help.

  10. Re:Be fair on Linus Chews Up Kernel Maintainer For Introducing Userspace Bug · · Score: 1

    haha, i'll be sure to tell that to all the people i know who have been layed off for bullshit reasons, sexual harassed and fired for objecting to it, worked in awful jobs where their coworkers died because of bad management (prisons), dealt with crooks and criminals all day, etc etc etc, who have ever, not even once, raised their voices in front of others to the people who work with them.

  11. don't tell me you've never heard of hyperfreeze on West Antarctica Warming Faster Than Thought · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's how Geordi solved the locked intercooler problem in season 7 episode 14 - the Ferengi warp coils had damaged the nydomium lines to the point where crystalline anti-pores were building up inside the reaction chamber. He had to redirect the hauser inverters to counterfeed through their own backup loop just to keep the Marfa separators from clogging.

  12. yup, Malda would have never let this on the ... on Has Lego Sold Out? · · Score: 1

    oh wait... yes he would have. lol

    the article is just 100% horse shit though for anyone who actually played with legos in the late 1970s.

  13. ahh failure. on The Trials and Tribulations of a Would-Be Facebook Employee · · Score: 1

    it seems if the problem is stress, i would consider reaching out to a social support network and/or a counselor. i can only tell you that many people have survived much worse, and even discovered shards of happiness along the way. good luck.

  14. meanwhile in ethiopia 10,000 ppl starved to death on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 1

    but hey, at least you are fighting the good fight here in America against true evil.

  15. it's almost like you are Lech Walesa on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 1

    i mean, he was fighting a brutal dictatorship that consistently beat, imprisoned, and tortured its political opponents, and you are fighting a brutal video game distribution system that consistently ... doesnt allow you to .. hm... ... well im not sure exactly what Valve did to you but im sure its just as bad. after all

    you never would say something like "shove down our throats" unless it was very serious.

  16. Also dont forget GNU/Clang on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 2

    Many people refer to the 'clang compiler', but what they are really referring to is Richard Milhaus Stallman's Extended Lower Intestine, Which He Used To Invent C Programming.

  17. You know wine is not perfect right? on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 1

    Just install windows dual boot or help them a console system. And stop yelling at your kids.

  18. yeah but i felt like i should post it anyways on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 1

    posting things that are basically 100% false is sort of a hobby of mine.

    other fun facts:

    The linux kernel uses Windows DLLs

    FreeBSD is based off of Mac OSX

    Steve Jobs wrote the Mach Microkernel in his garage with Steve Wozniak

  19. except that it doesnt. on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 1

    SDL does not do the same job as DirectX. In fact SDL is built on top of DirectX on it's Windows port. Cross platform 3d graphics is not a "minor task". Ask the Vendetta people, ask Sam Lantinga, ask anyone who has ever actually written 3d cross platform code.

  20. better off running Steam under Wine on Steam For Linux Is Now an Open Beta · · Score: 1

    as far as i can tell, Wine can run quite a few windows games just fine, including when run under Steam (which greatly simplifies some of the installing/patching routines one typically has to do in Windows games)

  21. root it and go to jail on TI-84+C-Silver Edition: That C Stands For Color · · Score: 3, Interesting
  22. so before Sandy Point, they were idiots? on Makerbot Cracks Down On 3D-Printable Gun Parts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    before this latest school shooting they really did not care. there has been an AR-15 receiver up on thingiverse for more than a year.
    and there have been several school shootings in that time.

    thingiverse even conducted a poll a few months back, the subject was whether or not users wanted to allow weapons on the site. i dont know the result of the poll, but the practical effect was nothing - they left those items up.

    now all of a sudden they took them down.

    nevermind 30+ children died today in automobile accidents (statistical average).

  23. why should bars have bouncers? on Makerbot Cracks Down On 3D-Printable Gun Parts · · Score: 2

    thingiverse is a private organization, they can do whatever they want.

    its called 'freedom'.

    if you want to have a publicly funded 3d printing website that has AR-15 receivers and AK-47 bodies, you are 100% free to do so. . . you can even host it in a non-US country if you are worried about US firearms laws. I hear Somalia is very lenient towards the promulgation of AK-47s.

  24. another trick: stop mixing up testing + assignment on Whose Bug Is This Anyway? · · Score: 1

    anything that both assigns and tests a loop index is by definition a fucking accident waiting to happen. its like driving a car without wearing a seatbelt and then deciding the 'solution' is to put the steering wheel in the back seat instead of the front.

    i can't believe you don't understand that the brain doesn't work 100% reliably when you force it past the breaking point like this. its work 101.
