  1. Re:Self selecting? on C Code On GitHub Has the Most "Ugly Hacks" · · Score: 1

    that's just my experience

    No, really it's not. Plenty of us have experienced this...

  2. Re:Define Ugly Hack on C Code On GitHub Has the Most "Ugly Hacks" · · Score: 1

    According to the summary, it's where the string "ugly hack" appears in the code - so it would consider this comment (and yours) to be an "ugly hack"...

  3. Re:carmack puts it best on C Code On GitHub Has the Most "Ugly Hacks" · · Score: 1

    Degreelessness Mode?

  4. Re:One small problem on What To Say When the Police Tell You To Stop Filming Them · · Score: 1

    I ask that you please do STFU and allow those of us who DO wish to stand up for our rights to discuss the issues of standing up for our rights.

    It seems you're not a believer in GP's right to freedom of speech - no wonder you post as AC.

  5. Re:YOU ARE A FECKING IDIOT on Two Gunman Killed Outside "Draw the Prophet" Event In Texas · · Score: 1

    This is a deadly intolerant religion

    ... as opposed to the other kind?

  6. Re:Oblig. answer on Two Gunman Killed Outside "Draw the Prophet" Event In Texas · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Religious madness

    And right there we have "tautology of the week"

  7. Re:Email on Want 30 Job Offers a Month? It's Not As Great As You Think · · Score: 1

    Who reads email anymore?

    The NSA?

  8. Re: Twisted perception on How One Tweet Wiped $8bn Off Twitter's Value · · Score: 1

    It's mostly based on the fact that gold is pretty...

  9. Re:The great problem of integrity on Median Age At Google Is 29, Says Age Discrimination Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I see good code or I see bad code.

    I see very little good code. I see an awful lot of bad code

    There's always been buyers for good code.

    Sadly, there also always been buyers for bad code.

  10. Re:Sexual Tension on Peter Capaldi Unveiled As the New Star of Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    Not on the BBC, they don't.

  11. Re:Meh.... on Peter Capaldi Unveiled As the New Star of Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    This has happened with regenerations before - Romana (Lalla Ward) made a point of taking the likeness of someone she'd encountered previously

  12. Re:Solution in extensions on Firefox 23 Makes JavaScript Obligatory · · Score: 1

    Javascript shits on that entire model,

    No, Javascript allows dumb web monkeys to shit on that model - there's a big difference.

  13. Re:This is mostly outdated service on Microsoft To Shut Down TechNet Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    Microsoft, are you listening?

    Probably not.

  14. Re:As the song asks... on Ask Slashdot: Is an Online Identity Important When Searching For Technical Jobs? · · Score: 2

    Your local work environment must be really desperate for people if knowing how to use a toothbrush and soap is supposed to be a relevant qualification.

    Look up "necessary, but not sufficient."

  15. Re: As the song asks... on Ask Slashdot: Is an Online Identity Important When Searching For Technical Jobs? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Working 80 hours a week is dumb.

    I don't hire dumb people.

  16. Re:Hypocrite. on Ask Slashdot: Self-Hosting Git Repositories? · · Score: 1

    I wasn't replying to the question, I was replying to your comment:

    So you want use open source software but you don't want to open source your own?

    I was drawing attention to the fact that GitHub use open source software, but don't open source their own (although if you're wallet is fat enough, they'll license you a black-box appliance to run on your own hosts) - which is what you seem to be criticising the question for.

  17. Re:Hit me baby one more time on Subversion 1.8 Released But Will You Still Use Git? · · Score: 1

    You have my deepest sympathy - for using VSS, at least.

    On the other hand, I have no way of knowing if you deserve to get punched in the face several times a day...

  18. Re:BerkeleyDB on Subversion 1.8 Released But Will You Still Use Git? · · Score: 1

    Mostly because many of those projects weren't using Berkely for what it was intended for, but had no better solution for their use case - these days, there are several alternatives (SQLite being one of the more popular examples)

  19. Re:I can't even think of enjoying svn ever again.. on Subversion 1.8 Released But Will You Still Use Git? · · Score: 1

    Does SVN still force all my pending changes into one commit? (and one commit message to rule them all?)

    For what it's worth, SVN has never done this - you can specify which files to commit in a given changeset.

    Does SVN still force my commits to be immediately visible to everyone else

    Not if you don't want it to. You can configure access control such that everyone has their own private branches on the server.

    (but despite the fact that neither of these are valid complaints, git is still a much better tool that svn IMO).

    50% of people are dumber than the median, not the average.
