  1. He has a weird definition of failure

  2. Was that some major fail attempt to make a point? Cease and desist congratulating yourself.

  3. Re:Facebook itself needs a rethink. on Facebook's Hackathons Get a Rethink · · Score: 1

    Who's going to seed all that crap? Leave it on the FB server...

  4. Re:Not blocking, just ignoring on Google Blogger: Vietnamese HS Students Excelling At CS · · Score: 1

    It's amazing how few people in the U.S. economy actually create anything anymore. An education is pretty much jumping through and learning how to brown-nose/shove your way through the corporate world.

  5. Re:just like the US on Russia's Former KGB Invests In Political Propaganda Spambots · · Score: 1

    Agreed, Burz:

    There is plenty of kudos to be had for putting down Russia nowadays. One gets the most points if he riles up the cowboys in the Congress with such paranoid blather.

  6. Re:I would be more worried... on Ten Cops Can't Recover Police Chief's Son's iPhone · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's such a great feeling when other people hurt themselves.

  7. Re:Than who? on Mobile Workers Work Longer Hours · · Score: 1

    The summary provided is indeed a mish-mash of confusion: Is it about telecommuters or, indeed, "mobile" workers?!?

  8. Re:No wonder Chrome is gaining users on Google Chrome Becomes World's No. 1 Browser · · Score: 1

    They have similar deals with Adobe (installing Flash will install Chrome too)

    Brilliant marketing partnership, considering Chrome didn't even run Flash in a stable fashion the last time I could be bothered to tolerate the pain of Chrome use half a year ago

  9. Re:Yes Yay, Celebrate the Competition on Google Chrome Becomes World's No. 1 Browser · · Score: 1

    Opera was decent at the (IE6) time until it started crashing ad infinitum

  10. Misnomer on Ask Slashdot: Best Mobile Phone Solution With No Data Plan? · · Score: 1

    It's not a text message (anymore) if it takes the form of a picture

  11. Re:Who knew better? on Space Team Reunites For John Glenn's Friendship 7 · · Score: 1

    What is "woo-woo" supposed to mean?

  12. Re:Well, there goes *that* heroin shipment on Senator Rand Paul Detained By the TSA · · Score: 1

    Is the "critters" term supposed to be funny or derogatory? It sounds more like idiotic and childish, not to mention counterproductive.

  13. IBM = Bureaucracy on The Futility of Developer Productivity Metrics · · Score: 1

    This is the sort of role IBM has stamped out for itself in the 22nd century: that of the BS'ing bureaucrat.

    The irony of using an almost completely unstable Rational Software Architect product, heavily-burdened bloatware, to develop robust software was not wasted on me.

    They do have a kick-ass online help system, though, I gotta give 'em that. Bureaucracy can work in open-loop systems.

  14. Re:Need to model science after sports. on Why Do So Many College Science Majors Drop Out? · · Score: 1

    Scholarships? For scholars?!? Are you out of your mind?

  15. Re:Preparation, not incentives on Why Do So Many College Science Majors Drop Out? · · Score: 1

    I was a horrible college student once I had to start trying. It was the late 80's, though, so I was surely a mild case compared to the current crop.

  16. Re:Go back further on Apple Tries To Patent 3rd Party In-App Purchasing · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, "a Middle Ages marketplace" is clunky at best. Ride with "A person in the Middle Ages buying produce from a/the marketplace" and set that brain free with clarity.

    The whole sentence would read better if the "person" were left out and the goods on offer in the marketplace were made the subject.

  17. Re:Lameness on Steve Jobs Dead At 56 · · Score: 1

    Was your font meant to insult his memory?

  18. Re:What's the point? on Hurt Locker Lawsuits May Reach Canadians, Too · · Score: 1

    You might want to watch the movie (again) if you think it glorifies much of anything

  19. Re:What's the point? on Hurt Locker Lawsuits May Reach Canadians, Too · · Score: 1

    ... nor does an unqualified negative opinion make it bad.

  20. Re:I wrote a short obituary on Michael Hart, Inventor of the E-book, Dead At 64 · · Score: 1

    Keep going crazy over other peoples' (former) problems and we'll see if you can manage 54.

  21. Re:License to Use soap, milk, and bread - $698.50/ on Bill Gates Patents 'Virtual Entertainment' · · Score: 2

    Great! Then the lawyers will have even more of the money, and more of the influence! Take that, you corporations!

  22. Re:Wouldn't it be nice? on Judge Blasts Prosecution of Alleged NSA Leaker · · Score: 2

    Pity the citizens who choose to tolerate them...

  23. Re:The Logical Result on Computer Marries Texas Couple · · Score: 1

    "Else, how else..."?!?

    Is there no dignity left over for the language I used to know? Marry the robot...

  24. Re:I call B.S. on this whole story on Facebook Bans Google+ Ads · · Score: 1

    Rest assured that no Brit has ever worked in the Facebook PR department and ever will!

  25. Re:7,991,764 issuing 08/02/2011 on Company Claims Ownership of Digital Messaging · · Score: 1

    Patent judges are even easier to bribe in the U.S. than they are in India!
