  1. Re:Shocking. on Senators Slam Firm For Online Background Check · · Score: 1

    So you were someone who he said "yeah this guy vouches for me that I'm ok to give clearance to.". You were acting as a reference for someone getting clearance. If there was something wonky with you, then there's a chance there's something wonky with him as well.

  2. Re:Videogames not... on Neal Stephenson Says Video Games Are the Metaverse · · Score: 1

    I play League of Legends quite often, and I'm far from a clueless teen. (I really really hate the clueless teens that play the game-they have no concept of how to work on a team).

    I suspect parent is being snarky, not a troll.

  4. Re:Sliding scale of hope vs realism on William Shatner On Star Trek Vs. Star Wars · · Score: 1

    That was the main reason DS9 and Voyager are my favs. The characters feel real.

  5. Re:Here, let me simplify this argument for you. on William Shatner On Star Trek Vs. Star Wars · · Score: 1

    I would love to see Q in the star wars universe... He wouldn't destroy it all.. at first. He'd just mindfuck the emperor and Vader. I wonder how a Sith would handle an omnipotent being?

  6. Re:Shatner is Trolling on William Shatner On Star Trek Vs. Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Shadows have to do with light, not vacuum.... There are several examples in ST where a craft passing over another craft would cast a shadow.

  7. Re:Of course there's a difference on William Shatner On Star Trek Vs. Star Wars · · Score: 1

    That was in the newer movie, which, as any good star trek fan will tell you, was an alternate universe (due to the time travelling thing). Not to say that his backstory in the original universe wasn't similar, but there's no way to be sure.

  8. Re:kids these days on William Shatner On Star Trek Vs. Star Wars · · Score: 1

    they are the most overplayed band in the history of the known universe.

    That really doesn't make them less awesome. Just overplayed (and I do agree they are overplayed).

    What does unreturned love have to do with Nike shoes?

    Couldn't obfuscated code bypass this?

    Microsoft's version would crash half the time....

    Just marry the API then.....

  13. Re:Cool. Just in time for Google to EOL Google+ on The Google+ API Is Released · · Score: 1

    Wasn't ChromeOS Linux based? If so, how did they prevent people from writing code for it?

  14. Re:G+ games on The Google+ API Is Released · · Score: 1

    Someone I know has over 500 friends that he has friended only to play Castle Age. So it doesn't encourage fake friends, it encourages fake friendships as well.

  15. Re:Too little, too late? on The Google+ API Is Released · · Score: 1

    Parent just said using his real name wasn't the issue. Did you just read "deleted my Google Profile" and immediately jump into Google fanboi mode?

  16. Re:Read only on The Google+ API Is Released · · Score: 2

    XML is awful. Especially for human-readable formatting.

    XML isn't intended for human-readable formatting.

  17. Re:Killing it... on US House 'Creator' of TSA Wants To Kill It · · Score: 1

    This is the most insightful thing I've read in all the comments on this article.

  18. Re:Got my vote on US House 'Creator' of TSA Wants To Kill It · · Score: 1

    Hmm, so a privatized TSA would push for laws to ban trains maybe? So then more people would have to take planes.

  19. Re:I'm a better trader than this guy. on UBS Rogue Trader Loses $2 Billion In Unauthorized Trades · · Score: 1

    Maybe not the first one, or the second, but probably after that I would make them pay for it, yes. Though I don't think I would give my employees teacups... I'd probably give them ceramic mugs.

  20. Re:Looking for a New Job? on UBS Rogue Trader Loses $2 Billion In Unauthorized Trades · · Score: 1

    From what I understand, $150,000 is not that much if you live in NYC.

  21. Re:You know you read USB at first on UBS Rogue Trader Loses $2 Billion In Unauthorized Trades · · Score: 1

    Yes... Yes I did.... And then after that I thought "WTF does Universal Bus Serial mean?"

  22. Re:I'm a better trader than this guy. on UBS Rogue Trader Loses $2 Billion In Unauthorized Trades · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing that by lost a laundry bag parent means the bag didn't get destroyed by enemy fire. He just had no idea where it was. If I was in charge of an F/A 18 and suddenly didn't know what happened to it I'd expect to have to pay for it too.

    That would be AWESOME.

    Why would we RTFA? We can just wait until someone does read it, then we can disagree with them and tell them how they're wrong. Cmon, this is slashdot.
