    Uh oh. Now you've done it. Watch a 1-digit roll over in it's grave, and post to top that.

    Google deserves all of its fame. They delivered a supperior product

    And that is exactly why I always turn to Google for my supper needs. Nobody does supper better than Google, they really make the supperiest product which makes my mouth water with anticipation every time.

    So if I buy a $2,000 computer the store pays $49.50 in credit card fees?

  8. Re:Relevant Skills on Kids Can Swipe a Screen But Can't Use LEGOs · · Score: 1

    Tying shoes?
    There IS an app for that. Several actually.

    You just know that's how those kids will learn it.

  9. Turbotax never again. on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Pay Your Taxes? · · Score: 2

    They require you to use their credit card payment "vendor". Yeah that word has quotes in their description, so I'm sure Turbotax owns it somehow.

    "Vender" charges 2.49% of your tax expenses just to let you pay online. So what should cost $0.25 to swipe a credit card online can be quite a lot depending on your payment.

    Bye Turbotax. Also with their lobbying shenanigans and attempts to keep the tax code complicated they've just gotten higher than Comcast on my list.

    So "shambles" means user supplied data...
    eating it without question means not validating it before use...

    1 Cor. 10:25 "Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake"

    then.. uhhh...
    Wait.. is this a GOOD thing??

  12. No problem on Vermont Nuclear Plant Seeks Decommission But Lacks Funds · · Score: 1

    Use the allocated funds to remove the radioactive components.

    Then simply dial 1-800-GOT-JUNK and they'll take care of the rest.

    I managed to right a dissertation on MacWrite back in 93 without ever once thinking it needed more functionality.

    I'm guessing it didn't include a spell checker?

    Nor a grammar checker I'm guessing.

    They actually removed features from the desktop versions to achieve parity and then reintroduced them in lock-step.

  17. Re:What is OData? Why should you care? on OASIS Approves OData 4.0 Standards For an Open, Programmable Web · · Score: 1

    Sounds neat but doesn't solve my JSON problems.

    One project might use "customer" another "client" or "businessname". Each of these may have a "description", "overview", "synopsis" and a "type"/"kind"/"businesstype" field.

    So code discovery of data doesn't work unless we have agreed to standardized field names in advance, but now there's always exceptions to look out for and name conflicts.

    Now even if we know the names of every field, how do we know exactly what sort of data will be returned? A name alone is nothing unless we can ensure its type, and remove all assumptions about what it can contain.

  18. Re:Based on inflation, don't take less than $53K on Computer Science Enrollments Rocketed Last Year, Up 22% · · Score: 1

    Exploited or not, if one is trying to start out as a programmer and nobody is willing to hire, what choice do they have?

    I still see "Junior" level jobs requiring 3 to 5 years in every acronym under the sun.

  19. Re: Fork them on Google Blocking Asus's Android-Windows "Duet"? · · Score: 1

    Self-proclaimed geeks and nerds supporting and defending Google - sad and mind-boggling.

    Sounds like a "No true Scotsman" argument you've got there.

  20. Re:Media gag order on A Dispatch From Outside the Prison Holding Barrett Brown · · Score: 1

    IANAL (obviously) I recall some sort of "conspiracy to deprive someone of their human rights" type law that's a pretty serious offense.

    Is it really that there's no recourse on these sort of things, or that people are afraid to use them?

    Yeah that's great. Take a photo of a toddler just as she yanks her dress over her head and you're a felon. "AHHHH!! DELETE!! DELETE!!!"

  22. Re:I wish them luck... on Genome Pioneer, X Prize Founder Tackle Aging · · Score: 1

    I don't think people with effectively unending lives would be interested in war. There's too much to lose there. As it stands people say "I'm going to die anyways", or consider their expected lifetime and see it as not much to lose.

    In other words if I'm 50 years from inevitable death what's the difference? If I'm 500 years from death whoah I am NOT interested in getting shot at.

    And "immortal" means can't die. No humans can ever be immortal.

    However, be warned that, when you say "the hoi polloi" you are actually saying "the the herd." Indicating that you too are "hoi polloi".
