  1. Re:Is the desktop still gonna suck? on Linux Of the Future May Be About Which Environment, Not Which Distribution · · Score: 1

    I thought Reversi is the killer app! Steve Ballmer seemed very excited about it.

  2. Re:Much of the world has "illegal speech" on Journalist Arrested By Interpol For Tweet · · Score: 2

    Holocaust denial is punished in some European countries. I don't know where are you going with that "Incorrect Picture" thing.

  3. Only allow them to use Google cache to be sure they don't use some chat site.

  4. Re:Land fill methane on Power Plant Converts Fruit and Veggie Waste Into Natural Gas For Cars · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's not excatly cutting edge research, even rural Indians have been using it for decades.

  5. Re:Education industry on Google's First Employee Departs · · Score: 5, Informative

    Khan Academy doesn't stop at K-12. There's plenty of college level material there.

  6. Re:Bismarck Copyright Term Extension Act on Finding Lost Recording From the 1880s · · Score: 2

    I've seen a lot of westerns, but still don't know who this Bismarck guy is.

  7. Re:Many versus Awesome on India Turns Down American Fighter Jets, Buys From France · · Score: 2

    "I don't know what the ratio really is, but to say, "it's a little older, but we have way more of them" may not mean anything, when a single of the new ones can drop a half-dozen of the old ones without being detected. It's not a matter of twice as good, it's a matter of infinitely better until ammo runs out often times."

    You forget that the french jet is the newer one (5th vs 4th generation).

  8. Re:Yea, just give it away on You Will Never Kill Piracy · · Score: 1

    Because the alternative is copyright tax, and it is by it's nature a closed budget system, so there's no growth potential for the industry.

  9. Re:Hybrid Programmer-BusinessAnalyst Roles on The IT Certs That No Longer Pay Extra · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked Morgan Stanley had such hybridized roles, actually a whole spectrum of it. (And least that what they said during the recruiting presentation.)

  10. Re:I feel great about that. on Pentagon Drafts Kids To Build Drones and Robots · · Score: 1

    No, I mean WOOSH!

  11. Re:I'm not really interested on Wikipedia Chooses Lua As Its New Template Language · · Score: 1

    Sorry, your comment is NPOV. I marked it for speedy deletion. Also see WP:Shit_that_no_one_cares_about

  12. Re:Then we must live forever on Trials and Errors: Why Science Is Failing Us · · Score: 1

    It sounds fine and dandy, but someones memory just get's erased. You have to figure out "brainmerge", which might not be possible, as neural networks don't store information like a database: one piece of knowledge can affect the link weights in your whole brain.

  13. Re:Solution to wrong problem on SmartCap Reads Brain Waves to Monitor Workers' Fatigue Levels · · Score: 1

    That's oversimplifying the problem. Train drivers have to push an "awekeness button" periodically for a reason. Now we have an additional tool for that.

  14. Re:Home porn videos? on Ask Slashdot: Money-Making Home-Based Tech Skills? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I guess porn was mentioned here because there are actually no well paying work-from-home jobs that you can get in 2-3 months. If it can be done from home, it can be done from India as well.

  15. Re:I feel great about that. on Pentagon Drafts Kids To Build Drones and Robots · · Score: 1

    Just don't surprised when your kids get kidnapped for winning the science fair.

  16. Re:Insufficiently radical thinking... on Pentagon Drafts Kids To Build Drones and Robots · · Score: 1

    "After a celebration of their excellence, their brain-meats shall be harvested and join the honored ranks of the Bottled Warriors,"

    That doesn't sound too lucrative. Why not call them instead Immortals?

  17. Re:This depresses me on Revolutionary Wants Technology To Transform Libya · · Score: 1

    I visited their website and found nothing like what you're suggesting.

  18. Re:Incorporate on Xbox 720 Might Reject Used Games · · Score: 1

    But but but corporations aren't people! Except when it benefits me.

  19. Re:Who cares on Jailbreaking Could Soon Become Illegal Again · · Score: 1

    If I buy a carrier independent Android compatible phone then I don't have to jailbreak it.

  20. Re:This depresses me on Revolutionary Wants Technology To Transform Libya · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you refer to the Muslim Brotherhood, then you must be really misguided. It's like saying that a Christian-Democrat partys wants reintitute inquisition.

  21. Re:You had me at.. on Firefox Javascript Engine Becomes Single Threaded · · Score: 1

    Chrome always chrases me on this site: index.hu
    It says the flash plugin froze, but it works flawlessly with Firefox.

  22. Re:Education on Pirate Party Releases Book of Pirate Politics · · Score: 0

    Order you pizza and hookers. Oh and your password is hunter2.

  23. Re:please don't on Why We Should Teach Our Kids To Code · · Score: 2

    "We already have way, way too many PHBs who think they know what coding is because they once wrote a simple script in Visual Basic, two MS Word Macros and know formulas in Excel."

    The worst of them are the electrical engineers who think they know everything about software engineering just because they programmed a microcontroller in C.

  24. Re:The whole idea is stupid... on Why We Should Teach Our Kids To Code · · Score: 1

    If they know the capabilities of the programming language as well as knowing how to figure out the solution to the problem, then they will be much more effective at their job. They can then tell the grunts what to do (or outsource it to India) and keep all of the money for themselves. Programmers are a commodity.

    Now I can tell you're PHB.

  25. Re:Undercosting much? on Spanish Extremadura Moving 40,000 Desktops To Linux · · Score: 1

    There are news that Hungarian public administration is moving away from Windows desktops as well. (Also because of licensing costs; there's a general asterity going on.)
