  1. Re:Looks cloud-enabled. on Google Developing a Pill To Detect Cancer · · Score: 0

    Google could invest all this money into buying a basketball team or something if they wanted. Instead they choose to do something good which could potentially save hundreds of thousands of lives every year. And I wonder why /. geeks would view this in a negative way.

  2. Interesting coincidence on Google Search Finally Adds Information About Video Games · · Score: 0

    I saw this today before I heard about this feature when I searched for "side scroller games" https://www.google.com/search?...

  3. M$ SalesRep: Knock Knock.

    [No answer]

    M$ SalesRep: It is I, the Microsoft salesman, our surface sales crossed $1M mark. Guess who voluntarily "bought" over $800K worth of those surfaces?

    [No answer]

    M$ SalesRep: Our employees.

  4. YO on Your Online TV Watching Can Now Be Tracked Across Devices · · Score: 0

  6. Polish a turd and .... on More Eye Candy Coming To Windows 10 · · Score: 0

  7. I for one on An Algorithm to End the Lines for Ice at Burning Man · · Score: 0

    do NOT like people in my dessert, certainly not 65,000 of them as toppings. Desert is supposed to be delicious and all, but stop glorifying cannibalism, NOW!

  8. Wow - Pauline's cry for help? on New Music Discovered In Donkey Kong For Arcade · · Score: 0

    Is it that I am tone deaf or that sounds like dog's barking to me?

  9. Re:Not a great loss... on Oracle Database Certifications Are No Longer Permanent · · Score: 0

    Oracle is becoming increasingly irrelevant: MySQL (although now owned by Oracle too) takes the bottom end of the market share with ease, PostgreSQL the middle bit, and there are a lot fewer sales to be made at the high end.

    I agree with your other points but not this one. Where I come from, Oracle is still very much the King in the RDBMS world with no serious competitor(DB2 maybe?) whatsoever.

  10. Re:No retraining costs the other way? on Munich Reverses Course, May Ditch Linux For Microsoft · · Score: 0

    Well to be fair, M$ atleast has one standard crappy Windows 8/8.1 GUI whereas the Linux's DE world is divided between GNOME, KDE, Xfce, etc., Not to mention the fact that GNOME DE has been F*ed up by its developers for the past 4 years.

  11. Re:Open Source Integrated email/calendar/phones/et on Munich Reverses Course, May Ditch Linux For Microsoft · · Score: 0

    but sadly, nothing open source can touch MS Outlook + Lync

    Have you used Lotus F*ing Notes? At work here, we use Lotus F*ing Notes and it has the best F*ing UI in the whole world. Really, it is a beautiful, elegant, and easy to use. It is so simple that I can use it with my eyes closed, ears shut and a bullet in my cerebrum.

  12. You are missing the point, M$ on Microsoft Considered Renaming Internet Explorer To Escape Its Reputation · · Score: 0

    A crap IS a crap. If you are going to rename "crap" as "Queen Elizabeth's crown" nobody is still going to want it.

  13. Re:Pining for the fjords on Ask Slashdot: How Dead Is Antivirus, Exactly? · · Score: 0

    Disagree. It is stone dead.

  14. Life beyond wrt54g? on Ask Slashdot: Life Beyond the WRT54G Series? · · Score: 0

    I never heard of that planet before and you have known this for 7 years. Shame on you. Comcast, NSA, FBI, DHS, MPAA, RIAA, EveryOtherScumBagAllies let us invade this planet and copyright everything for the next 111111111111 billion years.

  15. Re:Oracle Forms on Oracle Hasn't Killed Java -- But There's Still Time · · Score: 0

  23. Soylent News on Autonomous Sea-Robot Survives Massive Typhoon · · Score: 2, Funny

    The red background for this story reminds me of soylent news during those dark days of beta.

  24. Re:The important question is How on What Came First, Black Holes Or Galaxies? · · Score: 1

    This. Observed black holes have so far been either 1) Stellar - tens or may be hundreds of solar mass or 2) Supermassive - millions to billions of solar mass. We haven't seen anything in between. So with the data at hand, the question is: Are Supermassive are formed from big bang or they are "formed" as they pull heavenly bodies towards them?
