  1. Re:What is a "Robot?" on San Francisco Politician Jane Kim Is Exploring a Tax On Robots (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Taxi drivers are about to become a thing of the past...

    Only if "about to" means "before our sun goes nova".

  2. Have you ever programmed in a professional environment? Have you never used source control? The name is attached because that's important metadata for any changes to the code.

  3. In other words, you are frustrated because you can't force girls to like what you like? Authoritarian much?

  4. Because the US already leads the world in broadband, right? Have to make it better!

    Tee hee.

  5. Re:Good. Standing up for what America is. on Senate Republicans Introduce Anti-Net Neutrality Legislation (thehill.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    There's nothing anyone can do to help you, but if you were to be strangled with your own entrails, you'd make the world better for everyone else.

  6. ... what real language are you thinking about that uses whitespace for control flow?

    Is that a serious question?

  7. Re:venerable language on Developer Hacks Together Object-Oriented HTML (github.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a huge pain to get things on the page where you want them.

    You're literally using it wrong.

  8. Re:The saturated fate myth on Popular Belief That Saturated Fat Clogs Up Arteries Is a Myth, Experts Say (independent.ie) · · Score: 0

    ... to be at all factual.

    Sorry, I was, uhm, busy...

    As a circumcised male, I hardly find the claim that the presence, or lack there-of, of the foreskin encourages or discourages masturbation.

  10. Re:Er...so it was about greed? on Mylan's Epic EpiPen Price Hike Wasn't About Greed -- It's Worse, Lawsuit Claims (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You can't have a totally free market with government-backed patents and other IP protections. No company which produces anything wants a free market.

  11. Re: Correcting myself on Oregon Fines Man For Writing a Complaint Email Stating 'I Am An Engineer' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you name a state in which it is illegal to call oneself a doctor and dispense medical advice? You might run afoul of anti-fraud legislation, but that's it.

  12. Re:Voice Actors are pop idols on Lyrebird Claims It Can Recreate Anyone's Voice Based On Just a 1 Minute Sample (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The Little Mermaid made real?

  13. Re: It has its uses on Ask Slashdot: Do You Like Functional Programming? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 0

    No, they aren't. Anonymous Cowards seem to often be shitty idiots.

  14. Re:Bullshit, Todd. on Can Parents Sue If Their Kid Is Born With the 'Wrong' DNA? (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing your genes are so diluted. They are clearly defective, if this is the level of intelligence they are capable of producing.

  15. And of broken.

  16. Most people are dead.

  17. Re:Just what we need ... on Can Geoengineering Drones Fight Global Warming? (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    What about discussing it with people who know what shibboleth actually means?

  18. Re:Repurposing Macs significantly harder than win/ on Apple Forces Recyclers To Shred All iPhones and MacBooks (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows 7 was released a month after 10.6. It's not terribly surprising that it would run well enough on that hardware.

  19. Re: Repurposing Macs significantly harder than win on Apple Forces Recyclers To Shred All iPhones and MacBooks (vice.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Then your sister is a fucked-up moron, and she deserves to suffer for her stupidity.

  20. Re:Any propoganda is bad. on Apple Forces Recyclers To Shred All iPhones and MacBooks (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there even one truthful statement in your comment, beyond the subject?

  21. Re:Repurposing Macs significantly harder than win/ on Apple Forces Recyclers To Shred All iPhones and MacBooks (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Recycling and reuse are completely different things. Macs have great resale value, compared to other hardware in the same categories.

  22. Re:User's need to take responsibility too. on Apple Forces Recyclers To Shred All iPhones and MacBooks (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Most users of Apple products that I know personally do not buy each new model. And the one that I know does, always sells his old one used. In fact, I can't think of anyone who would just give a working device to Apple when buying a new one. The resale value of Apple hardware almost always makes the bother of finding a buyer worth it.

  23. Possibly because you're a fucking moron who can't comprehend the written word.

  24. Re:Just change who pays for the textbooks on States Are Moving To Cut College Costs By Introducing Open-Source Textbooks (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    Your suggestion makes no sense. The universities don't pay tuition either. You're hiding the cost, but you're not removing it from the student.

  25. Re:That's not the reason for expense on States Are Moving To Cut College Costs By Introducing Open-Source Textbooks (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    ... 100k of free student aid and to have to work 2 jobs for the next 20 years to pay it off.

    You have a very strange idea of what free means.
