  1. Re:Please Microsoft... on The Classic Control Panel In Windows May Be Gone · · Score: 1

    I bet janitors despise the people that clog the toilets on purpose, because it's the janitors' job to keep it running instead of theirs.

  2. Re:It's trolls all the way down! on Emma Watson Leaked Photo Threat Was a Plot To Attack 4chan · · Score: 1

    Troll trolls Troll trolls troll troll Troll trolls.

    And I know the meaning of each one just like I know my buffalos.

  3. Re: Apple not in my best interests either on Why Apple Should Open-Source Swift -- But Won't · · Score: 1

    It can be argued that gcc 4.9 is there because of clang. He said he doesn't know how it is faring right now.

  4. Re:Please retire... on John Romero On Reinventing the Shooter · · Score: 1

    It worse when the desire to make an action movie works in detriment of the action game. Half Life had an almost perfect pacing. Valve knows how to lead the player. But many of those modern shooters don't. At a moment playing Battlefield 3 I was baffled because the game demanded that I stepped on a specific point before it would throw enemies against me and it all felt too artificial, like a director that wanted me to take my position before shooting the scene. That breaks immersion completely.

  5. Re:Slashdot chews up expensive data plans... on Facebook's Auto-Play Videos Chew Up Expensive Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Well, I thought it was a dupe of the first post.

  6. Re:can it get me home from the bar? on Hidden Obstacles For Google's Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Hard on for google cars? Every time I see news about it there's a vocal group that believes those cars will do everything in to kill their occupants.

  7. Re:Do the tests stat ... on Scientists Developing Remote-Control Cyborg Moths · · Score: 1

    I'm cool with that.

  8. Favourite programming language on Interviews: Ask Bjarne Stroustrup About Programming and C++ · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What is your favourite programming language that isn't C++ (or C)?

  9. Re:Or dumbphones on The Biggest iPhone Security Risk Could Be Connecting One To a Computer · · Score: 2

    It doesn't help to have no security vulnerabilities if it also doesn't have the desired functionalities. Why don't we all go back to talking only face to face? It's not practical.

    By the way, someone down said that Merkel's 6210 was hacked. Isn't this one a dumbphone?

  10. Re:I jut tried it on Auralux Release For Browsers Shows Emscripten Is Reaching Indie Devs · · Score: 1

    To me it seems more like a clone of Galcon or Eufloria, nothing like Osmos except for the pretty lights. You have fleets, you send those fleets to conquer suns.

  11. Re:How do you say... on Robotic Suit Gives Shipyard Workers Super Strength · · Score: 1

    I think it wasn't a literal translation, since the original was "you bitch" and the translation means "dog offspring", although this can be literally translated to son of a bitch, then the question is if this has the same weight. Also, he said "commonly used expletive", so I believe he knows what he talks about.

  12. Re:There are only 4 editors on Comparison: Linux Text Editors · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry if that sounded a bit aggressive, but I never liked Emacs combos. I did however find that the Lisp integration looked really powerful, if I wanted to dive into that. I can see then why someone that used Emacs only for the combos wouldn't mind leaving it, while someone that had invested in the Lisp configuration would never want to go.

    Personally, I prefer to write in VIm since I got used to the composability of commands and I can't find this feature in other editors. As long as everyone is happy and no one is forcing me to use their editor, everyone can use whatever they like.

  13. Re:There are only 4 editors on Comparison: Linux Text Editors · · Score: 1

    easy to modify (I never learned Lisp)

    What's the point in using Emacs if you don't want to learn lLisp to modify it? I personally prefer to edit in VIm, but I can see the power that Lisp lends to Emacs.

  14. Re:"small catalog" and "subscription" on EA Tests Subscription Access To Game Catalog · · Score: 1

    That and Humble Bundle.

  15. Re:"small catalog" and "subscription" on EA Tests Subscription Access To Game Catalog · · Score: 1

    For me, those $5 monthly will buy a better and more varied collection without the subscription problem. The games may be older, but the listed titles really don't interest me.

  16. Re:GOG discovers DOSBOX works on Linux on GOG.com Announces Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Look, this isn't exactly the bare files, but I think it's as good as it's going to get without their intervention:

    http://constexpr.org/innoextra...

    I used it to unpack "I have no mouth and I must scream".

  17. Re:Shoulda got a purple heart on An Army Medal For Coding In Perl · · Score: 1

    Because all Slashdot is these days is bitching about everything.

  18. Re: vi, Emacs or IDE on Ask Slashdot: Correlation Between Text Editor and Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    Last time I used it came with the cheat sheet in the menu.

  19. Re:why would I want to hang with a buncha cunts on Match.com, Mensa Create Dating Site For Geniuses · · Score: 1

    Let's put it another way. Since it's a club for people with similar intrinsic characteristics, how would you call a party for only white people? I'll be burned for that, right?

  20. Re:Oblig german spy humour on German Intel Agency Helped NSA Tap Fiber Optic Cables In Germany · · Score: 1

    Nine? Where?

  21. Re:hyperfine-Stark effect on Electrical Control of Nuclear Spin Qubits: Important Step For Quantum Computing · · Score: 1

    It works fine to keep powered suits of armor flying.

  22. Go Republic! on Study: Royalty Charges Almost On Par With Component Costs For Smartphones · · Score: 1

    We should cut their heads and use royalty free phones

  23. Re:danger will robinson on Professors: US "In Denial" Over Poor Maths Standards · · Score: 1

    What is the limit of this madness?

  24. Re:This exists on Ouya's Unsung Strength: Multiplayer For Parties · · Score: 1

    There is also Smash Bros, WarioWare, Just Dance.

  25. Probably not successful on Luke Prosthetic Arm Approved By FDA · · Score: 1

    I heard it had a lukewarm reception.
