  1. Generally, any programming language has an upper limit regarding the number of commands that are recognized, which the same cannot be said of spoken/written languages. The only thing that will actually be discovered are the differences in algorithms, not the unique number of programmers to a particular dialect.

  2. This happened once before. on The Case For Going To Phobos Before Going To Mars · · Score: 5, Funny

    We called it Doom.

  3. That's all good and well. on Foam-Eating Worms May Offer Solution To Mounting Waste · · Score: 3, Informative

    But congress is notoriously non-biodegradable, and they don't really do much for the environment anyways. At least the garbage attracts flies. Why not start with them first?

  4. This.

  5. Re:Acceptable ads? on AdBlock Plus To Introduce Independent Board To Oversee Acceptable Ads Program · · Score: 1

    It's just another fancy phrase for "Pay To Play". Further bets placed on the ads being mostly written in flash.

  6. Re: expands the way ailments are described from .. on Doctors On Edge As Healthcare Gears Up For 70,000 Ways To Classify Ailments · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure that's a thinly veiled request to visit the tenderloin district.

  7. My Two Cents on Jeff Atwood NY Daily News Op-Ed: Learning To Code Is Overrated · · Score: 1

    I've worked professionally, and as a freelance. I can assure you that computer literacy is a must, especially when IT is short-staffed, or when the immediate supervisor(s) are technologically illiterate. This is a long-term fix, so don't expect real results until about 12-13 years from now.

  8. Re:Old adage on iOS Ad Blocker "Crystal" Will Let Companies Pay To Show You Ads · · Score: 1

    So the real question is how much can be paid to block paid ads. It's like fighting money with money, everyone wins.

  9. It probably won't. I seem to recall FF having specific issues with memory leaks around 2006/7, which is when I stopped using it, once it became apparent they weren't going to fix said "It's-not-a-bug-it's-a-feature"-memory leak issue. Don't even get me started about the 32-bit compiler issue. 14 years later...

  10. Re:Ublock = inferior & inefficient vs. hosts on Mozilla Fixed a 14-Year-Old Bug In Firefox, Now Adblock Plus Uses Less Memory · · Score: 1

    -1. I see a lot of angry /./FF fangurlz. If I had to make a guess, it's because they didn't come up with a post containing an in-depth analysis and screenshots first.

  11. The most effective solution. on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Recover From Doxxing? · · Score: 1

    Hit the power button and go outside.

  12. I think 6 is a bit short. on AMD Radeon R9 Nano: 6 Inches Of High-Priced, High-Performance Graphics · · Score: 1

    According to most size queens, you'll need at least 9 inches if you're going to claim anything as "high performance."

  13. EVEN BETTER on An Algorithm To Stop Joke Plagiarists · · Score: 1

    Use enough discretion to determine when a joke is original, and when it's not. Then ignore accordingly.

  14. Re:Why not implement on COBOL Comes To Visual Studio 2015 · · Score: 1

    Not if you're over one space too many.

  15. LOL on COBOL Comes To Visual Studio 2015 · · Score: 1

    I'd rather write java code with hot needles sticking out of my eyes.

  16. Re:Free alternatives? on Former Employees Accuse Kaspersky Lab of Faking Malware · · Score: 1

    "What versions of Windows will TT Livescan run under? Windows 98 through Windows 10."

    I don't see anyone clamoring to pay my bills either, so I'm not really inclined to care what I use beyond notepad.

  17. Re:Free alternatives? on Former Employees Accuse Kaspersky Lab of Faking Malware · · Score: 1

    No, leave that to Terry Davis. Besides, any sane person knows that next to L Ron Hubbard and HP Lovecraft, King James was the greatest fiction writer of all time.

    How does it feel to have wait times longer than Blizzard's last expansion release?

  21. Not that big of a mystery. on Experiment: Installing Windows 10 On a 7-Year-Old Acer Aspire One · · Score: 2

    Windows 10 minimum requirements are basically a 1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.

    It's actually about 6 years old. Eventually, I'll get around to changing it to a different theme/style.
