  5. Um on Linus Shares the Millennium Technology Prize · · Score: -1, Troll

    "technological innovation that significantly improves the quality of human life, today and in the future."

    the people awarding this have apparently never used linux, which on another note is a clone of another system ... sigh

  6. WTF dude on Neal Stephenson Takes Blame For Innovation Failure · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "the gloomy outlook prevalent in modern science fiction may be undermining the genre's ability to inspire engineers and scientists."

    or maybe its the fact you can get a business degree out of a box of crackerjacks and make more money with much less work sitting on your ass as a manager.

  7. No shit on Spoiler Alert: Your TV Will Be Hacked · · Score: 1

    Gee willikers you mean that consumer device that I plug into a wild and open global network with zero configuration can be hacked? Its a good thing my car only uses gee three then, cause I would hate to see what happens if it ever got close to the internet.

    what is pleasant about being herded into a overstuffed tube? your romantic idealism of commercial flight died with propellers and monochrome only film

    Thank you!

    I was just about to post ..

    "Nice summary, got a fucking number asswipe?"

    I don't think its slashdots JOB to actually funnel traffic to third party sites to get basic facts, cause they arent getting paid by them for that extra ad revenue spike

    PS google, I bough a video card last week, it doesn't mean I need a months worth of video card ad's, I am out of the market for at least 2 years genius, stupid worthless ad bubble...

  12. Re:Not just florida... on Florida Thinks Their Students Are Too Stupid To Know the Right Answers · · Score: 1

    when I was in high school, almost all of my teachers were lazy blobs damn near asleep at their desks passing anyone who attempted to do the busywork they assigned while eyeballing the hot young cheerleaders

    they dont give a shit, they ARE PROTECTED, all they have to do is lay low, avoid anything that will get them in legal trouble and fuck they are golden, from age 20 to retirement.

    so yea its MY fault that the unions have provided nothing but easy rides for the most worthless people (in any industry). Trust me I know, I come from a family of union workers, though I love them, they are just about too stupid to tie their shoes, and act insulted when their one simple task is hindered by not having "scented toilet paper"

  13. Re:Science is just voodoo magic anyway. on Florida Thinks Their Students Are Too Stupid To Know the Right Answers · · Score: 2

    yea or like my cousin who is running a state subsided pot farm, hows that working out for you hippy ... you and your making 5x as much as I am high off your ass listening to original records and living in a picturesque landscape on your own schedule!

    I got the last laugh there ... sigh

    heh, by the time zip disk's were popular scsi cards could be had for 5 bucks each and I bought my first CDR in 1998 for 125 bucks

  15. FUCK! on 30 Blu-ray Discs In a 1.5TB MiniDisc-Like Cassette · · Score: 1

    I was excited until Sony popped in the picture.

    Yea we all hate sony for one reason or another, but you got to be god damned stupid to buy into their propitiatory bullshit media

    just like all their other media formats, it will be the shit for about a year, die in the market and the only place to find it is in niche markets, just like every other sony media ever made, including minidisk

  19. Re:ah those were the days... on AMD Launches Partnership With CAD Developer PTC · · Score: 1

    well if your dumb enough to ask such a vague question and base your purchase on a 6 word response then you got what you wanted didn't you?

    sheet metal? what material, thickness and quality? You were too stupid to ask the correct question(s), and somehow its not your fault, what was your companies name? just so I can be sure to avoid any mystical hand magic powers of engineering ...

  20. who is Oracle? on Oracle and Google To Finally Enter Courtroom · · Score: 1

    oh that's right, the company who squanders and kills anything decent they might have acquired (cause sure as fuck they haven't developed anything in the last decade +) for a quick buck

    Not that I feel anything for google, but its fun watching Oracle piss on their 50$ shoe to win a 3$ bet

  21. Re:Help On The Way on NASA Looking For Ideas To Explore Mars · · Score: 2

    until the next tool gains office, puts in a new lap-dog and claims that visiting mars is against gods will, but we should pour billions into state lobbied pork funds for it anyway

  22. Send congress to Mars on NASA Looking For Ideas To Explore Mars · · Score: 1

    its all around a winner ... we get people on mars, clean house, and I doubt anyone would bitch about the cost

  23. yea ok on Microsoft Passed On iPhone-Like Device In 1991 · · Score: 1

    they could have bought a vuege idea and a picture, the reality of it though is in 1991, that thing in the sketch is about as big as JUST the battery of my celphone, chips were thich enough to measure with a ruler, and LCD's were still garbage and still expensive. So what they passed on vaporware, its not like having a phone like that helped the ones who actually developed something similar (IBM)

  24. I dont get this child angle on Raspberry Pi Arrives, With a School Debut In Leeds · · Score: 2

    What? are there NO computers in the UK? making a small cheap computer is not automatically going to spark a fire in a child who is surrounded by more powerful machines every moment of their lives capable of doing the exact same thing

  25. the TSA does not need fixing on Former TSA Administrator Speaks · · Score: 1

    It needs to be put to sleep, its a horrid waste of money causing nothing but headache and problems for each and every person traveling in the USA and our gains has been about the same net effect as elephant repellant
