  1. "For Computer Programmers" on Vint Cerf on Why Programmers Don't Join the ACM · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Did the blurb just say the ACM was for programmers? The only people I know who give the slightest of shits about ACM are students and professors. For computer programmers my ass.

  2. Obligatory XKCD on Real World Code Sucks · · Score: 5, Funny
  3. Patent Application? on Google Patents Profit-Maximizing Dynamic Pricing · · Score: 2

    Description reads more like a sociology paper to me.

  4. Meanwhile on Facebook... on Google Building Privacy Red Team · · Score: 1

    the entire userbase constitutes Facebook's privacy 'red team'.

  5. Re:t-mobile on Ask Slashdot: A Cheap US Cellphone Plan With an Unlocked Phone? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    One problem: T-Mobile does not really provide service. You're lucky if you get one bar on your cell phone with T-Mobile because too many times I've had to turn off/turn on my cell phone just to try to get service.

  6. Re:CUM satellite ?? on Korean Artist's Intentionally Useless Satellite To Launch This December · · Score: 1

    Well, they really do love bukkake over there....

    Wrong country.

  7. So... on Man Orders TV On Amazon, Gets Shipped Assault Rifle · · Score: 1

    How far is this man away from Congress?

  8. Arrested for Bribery? on Three Arrests In China Over Baidu Post-Deleting Services · · Score: 1

    People in China being arrested for bribery? Sounds like they didn't bribe the police enough.

  9. DRM For Action Figures on Harvard Software 3D Prints Articulated Action Figures · · Score: 2

    So how would the AFAA (Action Figure Association of America) implement some kind of DRM on action figures anyways? Would they try to force a blacklist of designs onto every 3d printer? Too bad for them the first thing I'm printing out is an army of pirates.

  10. Re:But ... on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 5, Funny

    After all, you can't print illegal shapes if you don't know shapes!

    That would've made Apple v. Samsung a lot more interesting.

  11. Java Stack Traces on Ex-Sun Employees Are Taking Java To iOS · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hope iPhone users don't freak out when their Java apps suddenly start printing 500 line stack traces.

  12. Re:Awesome! on F-Secure Report: Another SCADA Attack in Iran — This Time With AC/DC · · Score: 2

    How about something obnoxious like "America, Fuck Yeah" or "Trololol"?

  13. I wonder what the RIAA thinks of all these copies of 'Thunderstruck' on the Iranian computers. If it wasn't the US government making this malware they'd probably demand a license fee for each playing of 'Thunderstruck' on a computer in Iran.

  14. How much of an improvement? on Google Improves Android Translator To Battle Siri · · Score: 1

    Can this improved Android translator give consistent translations when translating the translated result back to its original language? From my experience with translators and languages, translating East Asian (and probably most non-European) languages into English gives you really shitty results.

  15. Anime Girl Robots on Company Unveils Personalized Anime Robot Girl · · Score: 2

    Making people's harem anime dreams come true...several tens of thousands of dollars at a time.

    P.S.: A feminine robot not made in Japan? :O

  16. Episode 1 on Indian Mathematician Takes Shot At Proving Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 1

    Rohit Gupta: "I have a truly marvelous proof of the Riemann Hypothesis which this TV show is too short to contain. But at least I know I proved it."

  17. Re:NOOOOO!!!! on The GIMP Now Has a Working Single-Window Mode · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked, GIMP offered the user the choice between choosing whether to use single-window or multi-window interfaces.

  18. Photoshop Copy on Chinese Officials Need a Better Photoshopper · · Score: 0

    That Photoshop copy was probably either pirated or purchased for 10 yuan...from a guy who pirated it.

  19. Re:Sounds good to me. on LulzSec, Anonymous Reason For PROTECT IP Act, Says RIAA · · Score: 1

    When corporations and the government have pretty much circumvented the way American government is supposed to work, why have a Constitution at all?

  20. Wait a minute... on The Science of Human-Robot Love · · Score: 1

    How is there an article about robots and robot love without any mention of Japan in it?

  21. Hardvard on Climate Skeptic Funded By Oil and Coal Companies · · Score: 2

    More proof that just because you're a professor or student from Harvard, you aren't instantly a respectable or knowlegeable authority.

  22. Linux Version on FTC Approves Microsoft's Takeover of Skype · · Score: 2

    There goes the Linux version of Skype (not that it was good, but you can expect it to lag further behind than the other platform versions or cease to exist altogether).

  23. Obligatory unoriginal meme reference on World's Longest Live TV Program · · Score: 1

    Nice boat.

  24. Maybe... on Internet Abbreviations Added To Oxford Dictionary · · Score: 1

    IN a few years the contents of Urban Dictionary will be added to the Oxford English Dictionary as well.

  25. Women with gigantic anime-esque eyes on Panasonic Launches Beautifying Camera · · Score: 1

    Coming soon to a camera near you.
