    Why so many programming language creators are dying these days?

  3. Re:It's about money on High School Kills Color-Coded ID Program · · Score: 1

    To the Slashdotter who marked that Troll...

    I apologize for insulting the superior ethics of the modern school superintendent. I publicly acknowledge that no superintendent or teacher would ever be corrupt and in fact, are incapable of doing anything that would compromise the safety and education of our students. Of course, none of them would let someone fall through the cracks just to raise their numbers or get a bonus. None of them would ever tell their students anything bad about themselves. Finally, it is widely known that moral standards are higher and higher the further you travel up the chain of command in government institutions.

    I cannot believe that I let my misguided cynicism get in the way of Truthiness. Slashdot, can you ever forgive me for daring to even joke about something that obviously could never happen?

    But seriously... Troll? I could see -1, Sad But True.

  6. Email from HP about this on HP Rethinking Wisdom of Spinning Off PC Division · · Score: 3, Funny

    I just got an email from HP about this. HP's Personal Systems Group is the #1 PC maker on the planet, and that won't change. I can assure you our future is brighter than ever. Spirit of a Startup Our preferred course to harness our vision of the future is to build a separate, more agile company. It's time to think like a startup again. It's time to be nimble and revolutionary. It's time again for world-changing innovation. And so, it's time we realized we're at a crossroads in an evolving HP. But don't misunderstand: We-the same great folks who make HP PCs today-will make them tomorrow. We will continue to build on our legacy creating reliable, stylish, and high-performance PCs to improve your personal and professional life.

    At first, I didn't believe this was true. However, Netcraft has confirmed it. So enjoy your time, CmdrTaco, but I suggest staying on this side of the globe. For I hear that in Soviet Russia, Slashdot retires YOU!

  22. Re:Don't they do this every couple of years? on The GIMP Now Has a Working Single-Window Mode · · Score: 1

    (Just as long as the single window mode is NOT default.)

    How about it asks you during installation/upgrade? A picture of the two modes and you click on the choice you want. It will tell you that you can switch at any time by going to Menu -> Menu Item. There could also be a checkbox for "Send my choice to the developers to vote for this as the default setting." Another checkbox for "Always use this choice when upgrading."

    To everyone, not just the parent:
    Does EVERYTHING have to be a freaking fight? The crybabies here want choice until the choice presented is not THEIR choice. Make it a damn choice, choose the one you want and get on with life. Damn, people... I thought we were nerds and geeks here. Do you people really not go through all the menu items (or .conf file) on installation and configure it just right anyway?
