  1. Same old tune on How Facebook Ships Code · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We get to read this story every few years. Some company makes a popular product and all of a sudden they are the authority on development. News flash guys, enterprise software wasn't just invented and we've been rolling out features to millions of people for years. In environments where any discrepancy can lead to serious legal repercussions. So just for a second, hear us out. We know what we're doing and we don't need to reinvent it every few years because the guys from Facebook, Basecamp, Hacker news, or any other place said we're doing it wrong. Our bottom line and years of quality deliveries say we're doing it right. What do these guys have besides a history of rolling out mistakes? Their value is based on hype, not their code quality. Some of us don't have the luxury to make huge mistakes and have our customers be okay with it.

  2. Cave man inside? on Angry Birds and Parabolic Instinct In Humans · · Score: 1

    I kind of wonder if this is our inner caveman speaking out. Rock throwing intrigues us and was once our main weapon against prey and predator. There's something inside that just drives a man to pick up an object and throw it. It's fun.

  3. Re:Scottie's here! on DoE Develops Flexible Glass Stronger Than Steel · · Score: 1

    You use a keyboard? How quaint.

  4. Yes but.. on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    Yes but what music and TV were they listening too at the time? Perhaps Nat King Cole drove them to violence. I know it does me.

  5. Re:misreporting on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    Just more proof he really was crazy. That games is terrible.

  6. Great news actually, for us on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    This is great news. They can drive it underground. We'll create it and sell it for ten times as much. Prohibition is great for business.

  7. You know what's really expensive? on Should Employees Buy Their Own Computers? · · Score: 1

    You know what's really expensive? Office furniture. Maybe employees could buy their own..

    In all seriousness, if the cost of business is too high for you then you're doing it wrong. Perhaps business 101 is in order where you learn to pass the cost of doing business to the customer for a price. You know, that whole thing called "business".

  8. Re:Complete travesty on FBI Seeks Suspect's Web Game Records · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Without the penal system we'd see much more crime. Do you deny that?

  9. Re:Where do i donate ? on WikiLeaks Gives $15k To Bradley Manning Defense · · Score: 2

    Those aren't UFOs conspiracy noob. Those are craft built by a consortium of conglomerates and elites using stolen technology from aliens, and they will be used to facilitate the world-wide hoax called Project Blue Beam. Although this effort is being thwarted by another powerful group who are using their weather and earthquake weapons in a secret war.

    This is common knowledge.

  10. Re:Where do i donate ? on WikiLeaks Gives $15k To Bradley Manning Defense · · Score: 2

    You might as well just light your money on fire. It would be quicker and less emotionally painful.

    You'd be better off sending your money to a local group, because I'm pretty sure your leaders act the same as ours. You can believe otherwise if you like.

  11. Re:Huh? on WikiLeaks Gives $15k To Bradley Manning Defense · · Score: 1

    And that changes nothing. He will still be tried by the US government, possibly for treason.

  12. Complete travesty on FBI Seeks Suspect's Web Game Records · · Score: 1

    Oh no. An agency authorized by the people to keep them safe has used the system we created to keep the people safe. Will there be no end to this tyranny?

  13. Re:Low success rate? on AMBER Alert Partners With Facebook · · Score: 1

    LOL, that's my new signature.

  14. Probably have their own strategy on Microsoft To Disable Windows Phone 7 Unlocking · · Score: 1

    They probably have their own strategy planned and want to have them come in on it. They've been "Sir Walter Embracement" lately within the development community. It's kind of scary.

  15. Re:Low success rate? on AMBER Alert Partners With Facebook · · Score: 1

    It's not really that low. That is not the amount of alerts issued, it's the amount of children that go missing each year. They highlight that number to show need for the system.

  16. Re:Low success rate? on AMBER Alert Partners With Facebook · · Score: 1

    Wow. I had a well crafted response but I realized it was a waste. I can't teach you human compassion in a slashdot comment..

  17. Re:More technology is just a way to raise prices on In-Car Technology Becoming More Important Than Horsepower · · Score: 1

    On the way to lunch just yesterday my coworker ran into the opposite lane because he was focused on getting bluetooth synced to his car, a mazda 3. Think about that. He almost killed people so he could play music from his phone in his car. It's fucking ridiculous. I can't wait until cars can drive themselves. People as a whole do a poor job at it.

  18. Has HP peaked though? on In-Car Technology Becoming More Important Than Horsepower · · Score: 1

    I kind of wonder if this is because horse power has reached a point where more becomes moot. The difference between a 250HP car and a 400HP car is negligible to the average daily driver. So since more doesn't mean much and efficiency is always on everyone's minds, is that why tech has become more important?

  19. Re:You think your working conditions are bad... on Russian Team Prepares To Penetrate Lake Vostok · · Score: 2

    Behold! - The power of alcohol.

  20. Re:Oh great on Russian Team Prepares To Penetrate Lake Vostok · · Score: 1

    As long as I can wipe the sweat from Elisabeth Shue's forehead I'm okay with this plan. Proceed.

  21. Not surprising they're in love on Facebook's Revenues Leaked · · Score: 2

    It's really no surprise Facebook is the prom queen in Goldman Sachs' eyes. Both companies don't produce anything and make money from being the middle man, connecting people. They basically are both in the "transaction" game, just a different one. A traditional market will trade money or commodities, this one trades eyeballs.

  22. Re:Aww poor Assange has to deal with leakers. on The Guardian's Complicated Relationship With Julian Assange · · Score: 4, Informative

    I disagree. No one paid attention because the information wasn't as scandalous. Assange is a tool.

  23. Re:For the airplane geeks... on Magnetic Pole Shift Affects Tampa Airport · · Score: 1

    Actually I'm a VFR pilot. There is no FAA regulation that states I need to know that. How ya like them apples smarty pants?

  24. Re:Take without permission, otherwise known as ste on New Cars Vulnerable To Wireless Theft · · Score: 1

    LOL I wish I had mod points. I thought the same exact thing when I read that.

  25. Woopdeedoo on New Cars Vulnerable To Wireless Theft · · Score: 1

    This one guy showed me he could do the same with a screw driver and a hammer when he stole my car. And he didn't have any research grants..
