  1. Re:FIRST POST! on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Aggressive Forum Users? · · Score: 1

    Centralized moderation is toxic. It accomplishes nothing. Just more millennial "i need a safe space" BS.

    It invites cliquishness and groupthink.

    Dissent (no matter how constructive or intelligent) is squashed.

    Expect to have large portions of the community leave when a moderator shows favoritism.

  2. Re:Welcome to 2014 on Google Voice Receives First Update in Five Years (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Messenger can't work with the gchat protocol, which some still use, only SMS/MMS

    Ever wonder why?

    Why not have a single, unified, customizable IM app that can do all of it?

    Rubbish.

  5. Re: Rest of words imply group on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Deal With A 'Gaslighting' Colleague? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Exactly this.

    Which is more likely: the rock star engineer with a proven track record who is well regarded is incompetent, or the new person complaining is incompetent?

  6. Re:Leave. on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Deal With A 'Gaslighting' Colleague? · · Score: 2

    What if the person complaining about being gaslit is actually delusional, paranoid, insecure, and incompetent?

  7. Re:Depends on what you mean by "gaslighting" on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Deal With A 'Gaslighting' Colleague? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I agree. It is entirely possible the whiner is an incompetent fool who can't take criticism and refuses to believe they're terrible at their job.

  10. Re:And Obama once again is a blatant liar on President Obama Says He Can't Pardon Snowden (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Obama can't say "won't" instead of "can't".

    Or won't.

  11. Why are these idiots still calling them "devices"?

  12. Re:And get pence in power? great idea on Cybersecurity CEO Gets Fired After Threatening To Kill Trump On Facebook (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    The guy doesn't own any firearms. He's a clueless moron.

    Anybody who owns a rifle knows there is no such thing as a "sniper rifle".

    Sniper is the person, rifle is the tool. Any weapon can be used by a sniper, including rifles.

    A screw driver wielded by a sniper does not make it a sniper screwdriver.

    He's an idiot.

    Idiots.

    I still never understood why /. can't fix simple typos easily.

  15. Older programmers? on Ask Slashdot: What Training Helps Older Programmers Most? · · Score: 1

    Older programmers that are worth anything already know far more than you, dolt.

    If they don't.at this point there's no point in hiring them in the first place; they were probably incompetent younger programmers as well that never got any better.

  16. CEOs are paid handsomely to get things wrong pretty much all of the time whenever they open their fat stupid mouths.

    Idiots, all of them.

  17. High functioning psychopaths on AI Platform Assesses Trump's and Clinton's Emotional Intelligence (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    High functioning psychopaths aren't always detectable as such by humans... you really think a computer algorithm would be able to find it?

  18. ... Linux doesn't "have" a CEO.

    Bottom line: should have stayed a community supported effort. As soon as they got a CEO I promptly nuked everything CM related I had.

    It is astonishing what people will put up with.

  19. Why would you use either a home machine or AWS? There are million different hosting services.. I use linode.

    AWS is so insanely overrated. I really dont' get the point.

  20. Re:Literary Awards Use Literary Rules... on Why Is Science Fiction Snubbed By Literary Awards? (galacticbrain.com) · · Score: 1

    No mention of Iain M. Banks.

    Very sad.

  21. ARM driver vendor code is atrocious on Why Linus Torvalds Prefers x86 Over ARM (pcworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There is no reason to coddle developers who write shit code.

    And make no mistake, ARM driver developers employed by ARM vendors are truly horrifyingly bad programmers.

  22. What? on Mozilla's Proposed Conclusion: Game Over For WoSign and Startcom? (google.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As if WoCom and Startcom are any less trustworthy than the rest of the despicable commercial CA signers.
