  1. Re: Political Party explains this on Why China is Winning the Clean Energy Race (axios.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow. I never realized how black and white everything is. Life is so much simpler now. Blissful even. Wonder if there's a word this feeling... igno-something?

  2. Obviously. The code documents itself, so who needs comments?

  3. Slashdot.org

  4. Never thought that birds could be more effective than shotguns... Your move, NRA card-holding privacy conscious anti-environmentalists. Your move...

  5. That camera in the bedroom is a good way to pay it forward for all those who consume free online porn. It's about time people start contributing back.

  6. we acknowledge that we failed to decisively convin on Facebook Relents, Switches React, Flow, Immuable.js and Jest To MIT License (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Next time someone calls me on my bullshit and I lose an argument, I'll try to remember to say, "I acknowledge that I failed to decisively convince you."

  7. Re: In real use that will almost never matter. on Developer Marco Arment Shares Thoughts On iPhone X's Notch (marco.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You people who don't rotate end up shooting videos vertically. You are the root of all that's evil in this world and YouTube. Rotate your damn cell phones.

  8. Re: In other words... on Trump Administration Sued Over Phone Searches at US Borders (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Dammit, Jim. I'm a troll not a rational commenter.

  9. Robots are serving as a force multiplier instead of a force replacer? This is how things should be done. Bravo! Now it's time to read the article and see if I'm still happy by the end...

  10. while they're at it on UN Aviation Agency To Call For Global Drone Registry (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Might as well register all guns, vehicles, and computers with a central, global agency. Add in PII, let Experian run it, and wait. Soon the world will be taught a myriad of lessons.

  11. At least it's only half of the entire country. Talk about a lot of glass is half empty comments...

  12. the real question on Happy Music Boosts Brain's Creativity, Study Says (newscientist.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now that we know happy music makes people more productive, how will this get incorporated into the open office? I'm assuming my looping Journey "Don't Stop Believing" over and over.

  13. Luddites warned us about this day. Now even the child labor market with have to face devastatingly high unemployment.

    It's shameful

    Won't anyone think of the children?

  14. jail wifi on Is Slashdot Blocked In Parts Of India? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Asking about a site the government has blocked with a post on that site seems like a good way to find out if jail has better WiFi than the local coffee shop.

  15. The TL;DR version on Node.js Forked Again Over Complaints of Unresponsive Leadership (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    A group of jagoffs decided to fork NodeJS over bullshit political reasons.

    So Vagg tweeted something that not everyone agrees with? Who cares? Apparently enough people bitched so the TSC had a vote whether or not he should stay on the committee. 4 of the 10 people who voted thought that Vagg did a thought crime and should be virtually flogged and removed. Fortunately, the majority disagreed with modern day McCarthyism. As an added bonus, a petulant member by the name of Borins resigned when he didn't get his way.

  16. wow on Does the World Need Polymaths? (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Betteridge's law of headlines fails for the first time...

  17. Re:Why pay for anything? on Cord-Cutting Still Doesn't Beat the Cable Bundle (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    You could, you know, just watch what's on the antenna for free? The only thing I normally watch that isn't on the antenna is current anime from Japan. (The current season is actually one of the best in years. It's just not big enough of a business for anyone to care about people torrenting that shit.)

    Really, the only good reason to still have cable is because of live sports, which some of us can live without.

    I completely lost focus once you said "anime" but didn't say which anime.

  18. Re: LOGO writer? on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Teach Programming To Schoolchildren? · · Score: 1

    Reading comprehension? What does a railroad company in Pennsylvania have to do with programming? /s

  19. "Sexist" is what we call people when we have to attack the person instead because we realize there is no chance of repudiating their idea(s). See also "nazi"

  20. Whatever, Diana Moon Glampers. Pretty sure your idea of equality didn't work out for Harrison Bergeron.

  21. Re: You got fired... on James Damore Explains Why He Was Fired By Google (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    So you agree with him that a lack of parity is in part due to biological differences between the sexes? Why are you all fired up then?

  22. I've been using gedit as a copy paste area since it first came out. For alt-tab and alt-tilde convenience, I like having a separate, barebones text editor with syntax highlighting from my main editor. I'll be sad if this project is abandoned, but I doubt it'll be rendered useless any time soon.

  23. ice hockey? on Why We Can't Have the Male Pill (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If anyone's ever played ice hockey, or any other sport, you'd know it's easier to stop one puck than it is to block 500,000,000 at once. This is why we don't have a "male birth control pill".

  24. Leonard Susskind on Vermont Medical School Says Goodbye To Lectures (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Listen to any lecture by Leonard Susskind and tell me that lectures can't be extremely helpful. I imagine there are professors in every field who are as amazing at elucidating topics. I suspect this is a pernicious way for the school to deprecate professors and their wages. Regardless of their stated reasons, I'm certain that this was done to save money, and not to make better students.

  25. on the plus side... on Being Outside Could Become Deadly In South Asia, Says Study (go.com) · · Score: 1

    ... this would solve the outsourcing to India problem. Not the most elegant way, what with the death and all...
