  1. Re:Nope... Nailed It on It's Not Developers Slowing Things Down, It's the Process · · Score: 2

    Rock star performance is achievable by anyone who gets to focus on just one thing at a time. It's also called being a prima donna, not a rock star.

    --#

    Pri Madonna, a Pop star.

  2. Re:Sky drive? on OneDrive Delivers Unlimited Cloud Storage To Office 365 Subscribers · · Score: 1

    And aren't they afraid of being sued by Google? Who actually has a preexistence competitive product with a similar name?
    What if LibreOffice were renamed to "OneOffice", wouldn't Microsoft lawyers have a party?

  3. Re:How hard is it to recognize a stoplight? on Will the Google Car Turn Out To Be the Apple Newton of Automobiles? · · Score: 1

    I think the real goal would be to have all vehicles self-drive; then they can be coordinated to interlace at intersections, removing the need for stop lights and saving a ton of fuel!

    However there are people that don't have cars and need to walk. Will the car overlords consider allowing us mere pedestrians to cross the street?

  4. Re:Why does Gnome continue using horizontal panels on GNOME 3 Winning Back Users · · Score: 1

    Yes, but only for Japanese, Chinese, Korean and any other vertical writing language.

    construct a Nuclear power plant next to it, it can't be that bad.

  7. Re:Me too. on Why You Can't Manufacture Like Apple · · Score: 1

    Right, if you could just apt-get it from the built in package management software. That'd be great..

  8. Re:Simple fix. on 2015 Corvette Valet Mode Recorder Illegal In Some States · · Score: 1

    Or you can just park it yourself.

  9. Re:Hangouts is, in turn, part of plus, right? on Google Hangouts Gets Google Voice Integration And Free VoIP Calls · · Score: 1

    I use the hangouts app and it doesn't allow me to send pictures because I don't have a google plus account.
    I wouldn't be suprised if the Voice features were restricted as well.

  10. Re:No llores por mi on Buenos Aires Issues a 'Netflix Tax' For All Digital Entertainment · · Score: 1

    Not sure about the mechanics, But they have the best doctors.

  11. What's with the tangled headset cord? on At Home with Tim O'Reilly (Videos 1 and 2 of 6) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Couldn't you untangled that before the interview?

  12. Re:It's called Slander of Title on Blender Foundation Video Taken Down On YouTube For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    I think it'd be adding fuel to the fire.
    Lawyers would be the only benefited by that, but it's always nice to see the bully beaten at his own game.

  13. Re:Holy crap on Apple: Dumb As a Patent Trolling Fox On iPhone Prior Art? · · Score: 1

    That's because she's speaking English.

  14. Live long and prosper on Apple: Dumb As a Patent Trolling Fox On iPhone Prior Art? · · Score: 1

    What the fuck is WTF?

  17. Re:rant from a gun nut on Mikhail Kalashnikov: Inventor of AK-47 Dies At 94 · · Score: 1

    I would suggest that the only constitutionally protected reason for a civilian to own a gun should be to be capable of mounting a militia that could defend against a corrupt government. That would clearly include guns like an AK.

    The right to bear arms in my opinion has nothing to do with hunting and target shooting...

    Yeah!, why bother voting?.

  18. Re:Slashdot members knows this on Researchers Show How Easy It Is To Manipulate Online Opinions · · Score: 1

    Died of cyanide poisoning.

  19. Copy and paste on How BlackBerry Is Riding iOS and Android To Power Its Comeback · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It won't allow data leakage including copy and paste between Secure Work Space and the rest of the device.

    So, it's not a bug. It's a feature!

  20. Re:StorJ on Mega Accepts Bitcoin; Email, Chat, Voice, Video, Mobile Coming Soon · · Score: 1

  22. Debian, etc on Valve Officially Launches Steam For Linux · · Score: 1

    Has anyone tried it on Debian and other distros beside Ubuntu?
    please post you experiences.

  23. Re:Honestly.... on The Mobile App Design Tail Wags the Desktop Software Design Dog · · Score: 2

    Thinking about the computers on the 80s. Computers at that era booted right into BASIC interpreter.
    Kids had magazines with programs on source code, and many of those kids probably learned something useful, besides just paying games.
    Nowadays devices rarely come with any language interpreter at all (batch?).
    Linux does, but you're probably an advanced user and already introduced in the CS universe.
    I don't much see probable that a kid with a pc or mobile device steps on a programming language by chance.

  24. Re:Honestly.... on The Mobile App Design Tail Wags the Desktop Software Design Dog · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you handed me one in 1980, I would have believed you were a time traveler or an alien.

    And you would have been right about the first thing.
    I don't know the GP about the second thing, though.
