  1. Re:Not to be too pedantic on MythBusters Bust House · · Score: 0

    Timezones. UJelly?

  2. I thought on MythBusters Bust House · · Score: 2

    Being a mythbuster gets them "shoot-a-cannon-through-the-wall" privileges. :/

  3. Re:Wait on Indian Minister Seeks To Censor User-Generated Content Online · · Score: 1

    He's a lawyer for fuck's sake! What a sham!

  4. Re:He and his stupid Government are looters on Indian Minister Seeks To Censor User-Generated Content Online · · Score: 1

    This has nothing to do with that, dude. Anna Hazare is as annoying as RMS. You support him for a while, and then he just starts speaking things that aren't possible.

    And I doubt censoring content has anything to do with money in the Swiss banks. Either ways, I don't think this thing is really happening. #IdiotKapilSibal is trending in India (Twitter) and my friend pointed out how "Sibal" means man whore in Korean.

    I doubt this page was this way before this nutjob stirred up the controversy: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sibal

  5. Some desi feedback. on Indian Minister Seeks To Censor User-Generated Content Online · · Score: 1

    That's what you get when you make a lawyer the "Minister for Communications & Information Technology".

    To his credit, he was also the guy who released the $35 Android tablet, but I doubt he had anything to do with it directly.

  6. Re:Probably not worthy of a front page article... on Apache Flaw Allows Internal Network Access · · Score: 1

    Bad Joke of the day: What do you do if your http server is broken? Just apply A-patch-e!!! (sorry)

    Thanks for cracking that hilariously funny joke in the end (for the millionth time)

  7. Re:Virtual Learning on Stanford's Free Computer Science Courses · · Score: 1

    There are limits to the complexity of the questions asked, as pointed out by someone before. You won't be having "all the knowledge", but it's a nice place to start with.

  8. Re:Anti-Trust on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: 1

    I had a deja-vu when I replaced anti-virus with web browser.

  9. Really? on Coding Games In 48 Hours · · Score: 1

    Could you *really* do that?

    I would be glad to know how. :)

  10. Re:First... on Microsoft Goes In For Hadoop · · Score: 1

    That was one another depressing possibility.

    Think I will go into a corner and cry for a minute now. :/

  11. First... on Microsoft Goes In For Hadoop · · Score: 1

    First they ignore you.
    Then they laugh at you.
    Then they port you on their platform.
    Then you win.

  12. Next step forward in "An OS in a browser in an OS" on Linux In JavaScript, With Persistent Storage · · Score: 1

    Look at everyone going meta.
    Now I want to run X on this virtual machine and fire up a browser. (Maybe just install Lynx on it if I can't install X on it.)
    That'd be a browser in an OS in a browser in an OS. :D

  13. Re:uhhh on Linux In JavaScript, With Persistent Storage · · Score: 1

    Because this guy can.

  14. Re:Lessons for others? on Welcome Back Kernel.org · · Score: 1

    There is one, but it is locked. You can reset it however. Using "sudo passwd" or "sudo -i". Since you have rights to execute sudo, you can easily set the root password ;)

  15. Re:Well, that it then . . . on ODF 1.2 Is Approved · · Score: 2

    Several things happened in 2002. Can you be more precise?

  16. Re:Under sufficiently large definitions of "widely on Ask Slashdot: Successful Software From Academia? · · Score: 1

    Scrach project? Developed by MIT guys.

  17. More expenses? on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 1, Funny

    Now being rich is a crime?

    How do I pay for my Xbox Live subscription, my BBM unlimted data plans, the new iPhone that might launch anytime, the new anytime or my trips around the world every six months, if I am paying taxes for these stupid homeless/poor people who live in the middle of nowhere?

    Looting others' money is just not as fun as it used to be.

  18. Medical tourism. on Wealthy Americans Turning To Europe For Medical Treatment · · Score: 1

    I know a bunch of people who came from Israel and certain other nations for getting treated in India.

    Medical tourism as they call it. And it has been on a rise, mostly because of the lower margins in healthcare insurance business. The problem is for people who don't have insurances and can't pay for traveling outside their nation. They are fucked either ways then. :/

  19. Great. on Marking 10 Years Since 9/11/2001 · · Score: 1

    Out of all the things, I surely expected a guy on Slashdot to link to "The Origins of Linux" in times of national crisis.
    On a much serious note: remembering all the innocent lives lost.

  20. Re:Great, another fucking language to learn on Google To Introduce New Programming Language — Dart · · Score: 5, Funny

    Those other 22 could all go away.

  21. Waiting to see how this turns out. on Stanford AI Class 'Beta' For Commercial Launch? · · Score: 1

    Peter Norvig? That's enough of a reason to join the course.
    Though I am not sure how involved he will be in a student when there are 100,000 enrolled in one class.

  22. Just saying. on Linux Kernel Moves To Github · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Very high chance this thread will turn into a git vs Hg flame.

  23. Everyone's hoping on Laptops In the Classroom Don't Increase Grades · · Score: 1

    Everyone's hoping the lack of good teachers is made up by substitutes.

    Why else would we have iPads, Microsoft Powerpoint and educational CDs in the classroom?

  24. I don't know. on Apple's iCloud Runs On Microsoft Azure · · Score: 2

    If I should laugh, cry or just be indifferent to this news.

  25. Re:Energy != work on Tapping Subway Trains For Energy · · Score: 1

    As humans made conscious about every little energy we waste by TV and internet and other stuff, we are so desperate to find new sources of energy.

    After extracting energy unsuccessfully from cow fart, cow dung and human pee, now we do this. :/
