  2. Re:Cue the morons. on Lower Limit Found For Sudoku Puzzle Clues · · Score: -1, Troll

    I did RTFA, whoopie shit "may pay off" != it is paying off

    I may invest in nokia right now, it may pay off (it probably wont), and frankly if this sort of stunt is needed to stimulate interest in the circles of math nerds then we are truly fucked

    Grats! the guy wasted time money and resources to brute force a solution to something no one cares about in the hopes that someone somewhere might shoehorn said brute force application into something totally unrelated

    let me just crap my pants

  5. Re:Apple doesn't get enough credit here on Microsoft Scraps 'Where's My Phone Update?' Site · · Score: 3, Insightful

    yea that is a lot easier when you only have one product to support (hint thats apple's magic, similar to how the Model T was really easy to find touch up paint for)

  6. Re:Open Source vs a Corporate Monopoly on Microsoft Scraps 'Where's My Phone Update?' Site · · Score: 4, Funny

    yea cause there is no way an Android phone would never get updated, you just have to do a sudo apt-get install and your cupcake turns into a ice cream sandwich

    Microsoft, Google, or Apple ... who do you want to get fucked by today, and will it really matter tomorrow?

  7. Re:Meanwhile... on China To Begin Submitting Air Pollution Reports · · Score: 1

  10. I disagree on Want To Get Kids Interested In Programming? Teach Them Computer History · · Score: 1

    Showing old photos of gargantuan machines that someone like me, a self proclaimed computer history buff, vaguely comprehend as modern computers is going to put the kiddies to sleep

    true, that is why I said full force

  12. Re:horse left barn long ago on US Report Sees Perils To America's Tech Future · · Score: 2

    thats all fine and dandy but it went into full force in the mid 1980's, place blame where it belongs

  13. Re:Windshield wipers on Thick Dust Alters NASA Mars Rover Plans · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    yea that sounds about right, its a bit too hard so fuck it, that just means we can use this planned obsolescence to spend more money and time making another one

  14. Re:Windshield wipers on Thick Dust Alters NASA Mars Rover Plans · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    then every day afterwards we should just shit our pants because their planned obsolescence failed and we cant waste another billion dollars on a 90 day toy

  19. Re:needs a non-crappy ecosystem on Teachers Resist High-tech Push In Idaho Schools · · Score: 1

    it was gone by the 1990's because it was pointless for jhonny fucktard to rip all the keys off and bitch about how boring playing "the Oregon trail" while teacher barley understood how to put a disk in and flip it on, all the while Macintosh and Windows were setting the standard for the next 25 years

    glad as shit that I as a grade-schooler was thought how to program Apple Integer basic ... fuck load of good that did me 8 years later

  22. Re:Perfect UV 'cleaner'? on FDA Approves Self-Sanitizing Keyboard · · Score: 1

    its not really power its wavelength...

    A germicidal bulb will start burn your skin and eyes you before you could fart, and those are little 10-20 watt florescent models with quartz tubes, prolonged exposure will blind you and start to really screw up your skin.

    which you really dont want spread all over your keyboard, where most geniuses couldn't find the freaking return/enter key without staring at it for a good 45 seconds

    I powered a small 15 watt germacidal bulb that was intended to be used buried inside of a pool filter with a tube tester powered by a 9 volt battery, and though it was just enough to make it glow a little I saw a BAR of purple for the half of the day ...

    yes these things are 90% placebo, and yes serious versions do exist, but you wont see them cause if you did you might as well be staring at the sun for 2 hours exept all you would see is a dull glow

  23. Re:3.2 = "hacker special build" (LMAO) on Linux 3.2 Has Been Released · · Score: 0

    "Man, you just KNOW all that "FUD" about "Linux=Secure" for YEARS here on /., was just purest bullshit"

    only if your a retard do you ever believe any OS is secure

    Linux has the small distinction of YOU can make it secure, and not have to wait X months for MS to come up with a patch or Apple to pass it on to some one else

    YOU MAKE IT SECURE ... you can also make it totally insecure, no matter what anyone tells you it is not an OS for grandmas and secretaries to click a few buttons, play pacman (caldera) watch it install and blam, your a fucking federal bank inside the pentagon, though out of the box it does stand a better chance than previous operating systems

  24. I use a 1992 Model M on FDA Approves Self-Sanitizing Keyboard · · Score: 1

    you know what keeps a keyboard clean

    wash your fucking hands once in a while!

    I "wash" my vintage murder weapon once every couple of years, my wife's standard membrane shit gets replaced every year if not sooner (really what does a decent modern keyboard cost today, like 10 bucks at the local computer store? 3 bucks for a shitty one?)

    Its really not that difficult people, your computer will function with a keyboard that did not come stock with it.
