    We shoot you in the back as you walk away, then sue you for copyright infringement!

  2. In Soviet Russia... on The Math of Leap Days · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, leap year comes every time Politburo says it comes.

  3. Kill the kids, burn the house on Ask Slashdot: Life After Software Development? · · Score: 1

    Why the fuck did you have kids & buy a house?

  4. Re:Nope. on Ask Slashdot: Life After Software Development? · · Score: 1

    I saw a programmer in his 40s/50s leave a perfectly secure job TO OPEN A RELIGION-ONLY VIDEO RENTAL STORE. This was in the early 2000s. I'm sure he's a millionaire by now!

  5. Superman - Lake Vostok on Is Agriculture Sucking Fresh Water Dry? · · Score: 1

    Can't we get Superman to bring as a few icebergs or a bit of Lake Vostok?

  6. They just don't give a shit on Southwest Airlines iPhone App Unencrypted, Vulnerable To Eavesdroppers · · Score: 2

    There is no economic incentive for them to build security into the app. Until we have mandatory fines for shit like this, it means nothing.

    iPhones connect using WiFi, too.

    ...or maybe his father had sex with a blue-eyed cat?

    There's this new technology called "sunglasses" that might help you.

    Chinese ceiling boy watches you masturbate!

  11. ceiling cat/nyan cat on Chinese Boy Claims To Have Cat-Like Night Vision · · Score: 1

    There's got to be a ceiling cat / nyan cat joke in here somewhere.

  12. Dangling participle? on Verisign Admits Company Was Hacked In 2010, Not Sure What Was Stolen · · Score: 1

    Symantec, which bought its certificate business in 2010, "its" refers to Verisign, not Symantec. Is there a more proper term for this (I know it's not a dangling participle)?

  13. graphene oxide, not graphene on Graphene Membranes Superpermeable to Water · · Score: 5, Informative

    The material they used was NOT graphene. It was graphene oxide.

    I'll hold my paycheck against them.

    And it'll be less than the guy who has your passion and motivation AND a degree.

  17. Re:It's a sham on How To Get Into an Elite Comp-Sci Program · · Score: 1

    You'll never have the respect of people who have put in the time & work & rigor of earning a degree. Never.

  18. Re:Computer science != IT jobs on How To Get Into an Elite Comp-Sci Program · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wow, you really think that someone can't learn those thing alone ??

    You can learn anything alone. You can teach yourself quantum physics if you want. But do you think self-education is going to be as good being taught by professors? If you do, I suspect you don't have a college degree at all; you haven't gone through that experience. Having Yoda teach you to be a Jedi is more effective than becoming a Jedi by yourself.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. Get a CS degree and work as a programmer for 15 years -- like me -- before you comment.

    Ditto. CS degrees teach about algorithms and data structures, file systems design, operating system design, parallel programming, software engineering, compiler, grammar and language design, and many other concepts that make CS graduates excellent coders. Non-CS graduates are permanently handicapped and they don't even know it.
