  1. Transparent Loot on Wikipedia Forcing Editors To Disclose If They're Paid · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Transparent loot While breeze they shoot Seems as big a win As visible chin Burma Shave

  2. Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those on Samsung Debuts Thin Galaxy Tab S With Super AMOLED 2560X1600 Display · · Score: 1

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those,
    Running Hadoop, one must suppose.
    For NoSQL's the buzzword everyone knows,
    Though dropping ACID many further problems can pose.

    Any description of ESR that doesn't involve a lawfully carried, safely handled weapon cannot be called "fine".

  5. Re:Why? on Google Engineer: We Need More Web Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    Why do we need a new language to do this?

    About the only no-kidding value added of a new language is brushing aside the older cruft. But Imma still beat you down with my FORTRAN prowess in whatever you implement, so, neener neener neener, Mike Foxtrot.

  8. "Simplest explanation" on Evidence of Protoplanet Found On Moon · · Score: 1, Funny

    It is the simplest explanation, and fits in well with computer simulations.

    Oh heck no: turtles all the way down, biz-rotches!

  10. Re:Lets see .... on Local Police Increasingly Rely On Secret Surveillance · · Score: 1

    It's pretty much one continuous, top-down law enforcement hammer these days.

  12. Re:That will work fine... on Seattle Approves $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage · · Score: 1

    I think A/C meant that Ox number 15 goes in circles, with a little trail following.

    I mean, if you're really are into purple vegetables, I guess, but, crikey, that there's a fetish. . .

  14. Re:What about PHP on the JVM? on PHP Next Generation · · Score: 1

    That project's going nowhere without an Emacs major mode and a slew of eLisp.

  16. Re:If PHP was a horse in the prog language race on PHP Next Generation · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now, in defense of PHP, I've been trying to compile Yesod, so that I can take it out for a spin. I update cabal, tell it to install, get enough compilation pages scrolling by to make GCC envious, and. . .it crashes.
    PHP at least lets me set up a web site and get hacked.

  17. You'd boil that horse down for glue on PHP Next Generation · · Score: 0

    . . .and the users would be all: "What're we supposed to do with this snot?"

  18. Re:OOXML or Excelception on Why You Shouldn't Use Spreadsheets For Important Work · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but if you don't implement the spreadsheet in PostScript and then embed it in a web server, are you really obfuscating it enough?

  19. Can't use it on R Throwdown Challenge · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nothing with a name that verbose can possibly be any good.

  23. Re:*cough*Rent control*cough* on Congress Unhappy With FCC's Proposed Changes To Net Neutrality · · Score: 1
    I, for one, wasn't preaching anarchy. To quote myself:

    Regulation is like salt in the food. Maybe a little, if the ingredients aren't bringing enough on their own.

    I am saying "less is more". Or do you think 2.5k pages of Affordable Care Act + 10k pages of follow-on regulatory suppository is a Good Time?
