  1. Sounds like Prime Minister material on Prison Inmate Emails His Own Release Instructions To the Prison · · Score: 5, Funny

    Amiright?

  2. Re:Nano is not a command line editor on GNU Nano Gets New Stable Release · · Score: 1

    I'm not disputing your point. Emacs, for example can word against the character output stream in the terminal, or against X11.

  3. Re:Nano is not a command line editor on GNU Nano Gets New Stable Release · · Score: 1

    So, maybe "nano.exe" is not "nano"?

  4. Re:Nano is not a command line editor on GNU Nano Gets New Stable Release · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, it's an editor invoked at the command line in a terminal, i.e. not a graphical mode editor.

  5. Windows secure? on Windows 10's Biometric Security Layer Introduced · · Score: 1, Troll

    Windows secure
    Better than Zen
    Will it scandal-free insure
    Her Majesty, then?

  6. "Posted by Soulskill" on Mental Health Experts Seek To Block the Paths To Suicide · · Score: 1

    "Soul skill", or "Souls kill"?
    The parsing is important here.

  7. Re:Scripting langs are like social media on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 1

    True, and truer.

  8. Re:Scripting langs are like social media on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 1

    The definition of "technology" is so loosey-goosey anymore that your point is hard to defend.

  9. Re:Scripting langs are like social media on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 1

    If not for the love of God, I'd probably go all Tony Montana.

  10. Re:Scripting langs are like social media on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 1

    C is old and boring.

    In roughly the same sense as water.

  11. Re:Scripting langs are like social media on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 1

    If I was being cynical, I'd point out that new languages are the chief means of pruning senior developers from the team and increasing profit margins.

  12. Re:Scripting langs are like social media on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 2

    If you were one to write books and training, you might welcome fresh technologies.

  13. Re:Such potential on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 1

    Because it's harder to do one-liners and code templates when the physical layout is significant. At least, that's one argument. Me, I love Python.

  14. Re:"Why stop at one?" on Bank Hackers Steal Millions Via Malware · · Score: 1

    By all means include them, if you can catch Dominique Strauss-Kahn in a moment when clad.

  15. "Why stop at one?" on Bank Hackers Steal Millions Via Malware · · Score: 2

    "Why stop at one?" asked the Federal Reserve.

  16. Amazon would do anything for your love on Amazon Takes On Microsoft, Google With WorkMail For Businesses · · Score: 2

    Amazon would do anything for your love, but it won't do that.

  17. Re:Speculations become facts now? on Gamma-ray Bursts May Explain Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    To say that uncertainty is a fact is to put too fine a point on a bowl of Jell-O.

  18. Fermi's Paradox on Gamma-ray Bursts May Explain Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 0

    Fermi's pair o' docs
    (Shares o' grooming stocks)

  19. Re:Let's flip this around on Ask Slashdot: Is Pascal Underrated? · · Score: 1

    Did the interpreter feel better when it quit hurting?

  20. Re:Let's flip this around on Ask Slashdot: Is Pascal Underrated? · · Score: 1

    Some of us fetish learning things. Haskell really makes you reconsider things, for all I still haven't accomplished anything non-trivial in it.

  21. Let's flip this around on Ask Slashdot: Is Pascal Underrated? · · Score: 2

    I want every programming tool with which I interact to have some special thing that it teaches. What is unique and distinctive about Pascal, the way, say, Perl brought regular expressions to the masses?

  22. Re:Obligatory on Rust Programming Language Reaches 1.0 Alpha · · Score: 1

    Oh for crying out loud in the dark: this is Slashdot, where the signal-to-noise ratio is both constant and lousy.

  23. Cybersecurity, Too? on Report: DHS Failing On Cybersecurity · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Cybersecurity too?
    A razor and brew,
    While handling the occasoinal BLOB.
    But let us not kid:
    The security we did,
    Was the kind prefixed with "Job"

  24. Re:Bitcoin Loss on Hackers Steal $5M In Bitcoin During Bitstamp Exchange Attack · · Score: 0

    "Bitstamp got their
    Misery share,
    Like Bob McDonnell so fine
    Justice is served
    Punishment deserved
    If you know what I mean," spake Corzine.

  25. Bitcoin Loss on Hackers Steal $5M In Bitcoin During Bitstamp Exchange Attack · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bitcoin loss
    After such toil
    All goes to dross
    Like $100/bbl oil
