  1. Re:You can survive on How Intuit Manages 10 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    I thought Money was a better product.

  2. Re:Careful euphemisms on Electronic Sensor Rivals Sensitivity of Human Skin · · Score: 2

    Dude, you're not using your Cherry 500 correctly. You're not supposed to care about how it feels. Maybe in a later version...

  3. Isn't there a "late to the game" borderline? on Microsoft Surface Release Date Confirmed · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Where, not bothering to show up is better than walking in so late you look like a rude, disinterested moron?

  4. Re:Amazing bandwidth, now what? on Google Announces Plans, Pricing For Kansas City Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    Olathe, in the suburban SW corner of the metro. Actually, I'm *really* close to Garmin headquarters.

  5. Re:Become a donor on Two More HIV Patients Now Virus-Free Thanks To Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 2

    I really don't get why there's such a pouty attitude from gay Americans about this. Guess what, you're in a high-risk, high-rate group with about 21% infectiona and half don't even KNOW they're infected. The healthcare community isn't afraid of passing The Gay through blood transfusions. I'm African American, if I were gay the infection rate for my demo would be around 40%!

  6. Re:holy crap is that expensive by EUROstandards .. on Google Announces Plans, Pricing For Kansas City Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    We spend our internet subsidies on guns here.

  7. In related news... on Google Announces Plans, Pricing For Kansas City Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    Vaseline and Kleenex stocks soared 45% on bullish speculations for the 3rd quarter.

  8. Amazing bandwidth, now what? on Google Announces Plans, Pricing For Kansas City Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    I upgraded to a new fiber service in town 6 months ago with 24 Mbps up/down. I can't say more than that would be at all useful without the ability to run servers. You'd have to have a house full of teenagers torrenting like a ship full of pirates to stress that kind of a pipe.

  9. Don't get suckered in on Ask Slashdot: Preempting Sexual Harassment In the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Just because you *think* some women are laughing along. Some might be because they're too afraid to stand up. Some might genuinely think it's funny, then decide that they're tired of working for you and figure they can leave with a nice lawsuit-based severance package. I friend of mine's wife flat out said she would've sued for SH on the way out the door if she thought her old company had any money. And, this was after years of going along with it all.

  10. I don't care about Java for the UI on iPhones on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 1

    I figure the native APIs will always rule, especially on resource limited mobile apps. Now, what I would like is the ability to link in Java libraries.

  11. Re:Why? on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 0

    Spoken like the truly uninformed. There's tons of applet code out there, you probably don't notice it because they don't run slow like they did 15 years ago. I play Yahoo Games hearts almost daily and their applets have been around for probably 10 years.

    Simple test, disable Java in your browser to see how many Java web apps you're using that you never noticed.

  12. Re:Swing like API? on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 2

    Yeah, you don't know how to use it, so it must suck...

  13. Re:my name is mw13068 and I like WoW... on World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Launches On September 25 · · Score: 1

    I stopped playing eons ago, and your wife has it SO right. Players all just want to blast through content just to be finished and never stop to enjoy the game. Then, when they're done they have this empty, unfulfilled feeling. Like you went to a 5-star restaurant and scarfed down your meal.

    I tried out Diablo 3 and all my group members were doing the same thing. Just blowing through maps like it was a timed even, hardly stopping for anything and making a bee-line for the final objectives.

  14. Re:Welll.... on Wireless Car Charger Test Starts In London · · Score: 1

    Wild dogs aren't exactly decimating native bird populations anywhere.

  15. Re:"...has identified several problem areas and... on US Army Developing Armor Tailored For Females · · Score: 1

    Not sure why this guy got trolled. Let's repeat GP in Slashdot English:

    Guy's large-chested wife (which is busting out of her uniform) is jiggling with 50 cal recoil. I don't just want the pics, I want the mpeg!

  16. Re:Bright future for Greenland on NASA Satellite Measurements Show Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Melt · · Score: 4, Funny

    You don't watch much SyFy do you? I guarantee a cheesy-looking, man-eating Yeti with a taste for swimsuit models (who will conveniently be waiting to be rescued by the rugged, misunderstood, loner biologist doing research in town) is slowing thawing out. We're just one summer break from a Greenland turning into BloodLand :(

  17. They're played out IMO on What's Next For Superhero Movies? · · Score: 1

    The patterns are well established and well adhered to. Plus, I'm so tired of listening to "journalists" hyping the latest $200M snoozer. Many of them are great cable entertainment, but not much coming out is worthy of a theater ticket.

  18. Re:I must ask. on Spooky: How NSA's Surveillance Algorithms See Into Your Life · · Score: 2

    That's the flaw of the Constitution; or any democracy for that matter. If the people are willing to be subjugated, there's no giant daddy entity that's going to come rescue you from your stupidity. All of these laws are in place because it's what the American people *want*. They might say they don't, but try voting against or vetoing one of these laws and see what happens to your career.

    We're a country of fickle simpletons that waft from issue and opinion to issue and opinion usually based on superficial info or downright propaganda. I've been inundated with ads on TV that do nothing more than misrepresent facts that usually take no more than one missing in-context sentence to disprove. How on earth can you have a sensible democracy when all you have to do is remove the first sentence and misrepresent the second, then know that you can depend on citizens never figuring it out?

  19. Drones strikes are great... on Harvard Study Suggests Drone Strikes Can Disrupt Terror Groups · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...it's when we miss that we cause problems.

  20. Freeze everything in carbonite on Ask Slashdot: Storing Items In a Sealed Chest For 25 Years? · · Score: 2

    I use it for everything I need to store; backups of tax returns, keeps veggies crisp for decades, and turns incompetent employees into wonderful conversation pieces.

  21. Re:Why should MSFT work free because he fucked up? on Microsoft Taking Heat For Five-Figure Xbox 360 'Patch Fee' · · Score: 1

    I think the point is their policy is encouraging developers to leave buggy code out in the wild. I fully understand the MS position, but they need to come up with another billing model for recertification.

  22. Slang potential on Microsoft Apologizes For Inserting Naughty Phrase Into Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    Bob: "Did you see the new HR rep?"

  24. Think about potential abuses on Al Franken Calls for Tight Rules on Facial Recognition Software · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I create a high-speed facial recognition camera and sell a network of my devices set up along highways and major streets. I can with good accuracy identify people based on social media and I can track roughly the travel of millions of citizens a day. I can even quickly install temporary cameras around "problem areas." Now, the government probably can't buy this system, but they can license access to my database the same way the government has been licensing access to Total Information Awareness data mining databases from the private sector. Still don't see a problem?

  25. Re:The fall in facebook stock on Facebook Loses Users, Satisfaction Higher at Google+ · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When Goldman Sachs was telling the world it was worth $50 billion 6 months or so before the IPO, that should've been a sign for every investor to run for the hills. If you're not smart enough to turn tail when you detect the taint of GS, you deserve to get looted.
