  1. Re:Lot of test. on Students Win Prize For Color-Changing Condoms That Detect STDs · · Score: 1

    Shit. I get the perfect straight line, first post and I mess it up with a ton of typos.

    PS the guys are still looking for more volunteers, preferably, young 36-24-36.

  2. Lot of test. on Students Win Prize For Color-Changing Condoms That Detect STDs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeo. They need to do lots of tests. Lot and lots of tests.
    They are now looking for female vilunteers to help them out.

  3. Re:Linus, why did you let systemd happen? on Interview: Ask Linus Torvalds a Question · · Score: 1

    I think you have to add kdbus to that. Especially since it is kdbus that resides in the kernel. Also ask what does he think of Poettering taking over when he retires.

  4. A scientist for President. Yay! on The Presidential Candidate With a Plan To Run the US On 100% Clean Energy · · Score: 1

    it's a welcome change from some politician who promises something he knows he can deliver just to get votes.

    Hmmm. Oh wait.

  5. Free low-speed WiFi. on FCC Votes To Subsidize Broadband Connections For Low-Income Households · · Score: 1

    I don't know about landline internet and as someone pointed out, most library systems offer some form of internet access for free.
    However I have some need for low speed WiFi but really can't justify the costs of plans these days.

    Things I need it for. Mostly our public transportation system. The vehicles are outfitted with WiFi and GPS. They have a site where you can enter your location and it will tell you when the next available transports will be there and what routes they run.

    Of course Google maps is useful too.

    See my comment later about free WiFi.

    Our libraries have computers in the library that you can use. Want to download videos? Use a thumb drive.

    Phone booth were pretty much gone by the 90's. Even though pay phones existed.

    Shame actually. They should bring them back, better for privacy and not annoying other people.

  10. Re:No, it's not enough on Reasons To Use Mono For Linux Development · · Score: 1

    That's why I don't use either C# or Java.
    I will confess to Scala, but will also say that I hope it will eventually run on LLVM.

  11. Re:None on Reasons To Use Mono For Linux Development · · Score: 1

    Oh my. Without you, how will we ever survive?

  12. Can linux survive? on Linus Torvalds Says Linux Can Move On Without Him · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes but only if they get rid of Poettering and his crew first.

  13. Camera's on FBI Investigating Series of Fiber Cuts In San Francisco Bay Area · · Score: 1

    I expect the result will be camera's splaced at critical points to capture someone cutting.

  14. Goodbye Objective-C on Swift: Apple's Biggest Achievement For Coders · · Score: 1

    It's clear that Apple wants to replace Obj-C with Swift. So eventually it's going to happen. Since the Obj-C tools will not be maintained.

    Will Swift make inroads outside the Appleverse. Some but nowhere near as much as Apple and it's fanboys are hoping.

  15. Re:What is being missed... is the $2 million part. on Commodore PC Still Controls Heat and A/C At 19 Michigan Public Schools · · Score: 1

    Raspberry PI, emulator software for the Amiga. One student to write thelayer between the software and the hardware.

  16. Re:Death takes Death on Actor Christopher Lee Has Died at 93 · · Score: 1

    For me it was a youtube version of Don't Fear the Reaper, which contained scenes from Soul Music. I had to find out what it was and watch it.

  17. Re:Interesting career, good life. on Actor Christopher Lee Has Died at 93 · · Score: 1

    A rare one where he plays a good guy.

    Here's another one: Terry Pratchett's Death character is not evil. Nor good. It's just Him. But because of a fondness for kittens Death probably leans closer to good than evil...

    Death is neither good nor bad, but he is on humanities side.
    Myfavorite line from The Color of Magic movie is when he sighs and says "another near Rincewind moment."

  18. You mean on Nobel Prize-Winning Scientist Criticizes Role of Women In Labs · · Score: 1

    Ex-Nobel prize winner. Sweden is calling him.

  19. Ho-hum on Reactions To Apple's Plans To Open Source Swift · · Score: 1

    So what.

    People who are heavily invested in Apple and Apple development are going to be ecstatic because they think it will mean a groundswell of openings for Swift.

    I remember the creation of mono and the open sourcing of ,Net which were supposed to do the same for .Net programming. Did that happen? A bit not nowhere near wht they were hoping for.

    In the end Swift will be another niche language, which just a slightly bigger niche.

  20. Missing? on First Games Inducted Into the World Video Game Hall of Fame · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Zork. It just has to be there. It's like having a basketball hall of fame, and not having Michael Jordan in it.

    Miner2049er. Again iconic.

    Myst, I'm not a big fan, but in it's time it was iconic.

  21. Re:abusive? on American Pharoah Overcomes Biology To Win Triple Crown · · Score: 2

    That is nothing. You should check out what happens to a cow in a slaughterhouse.

    I just did. Yum.

  24. Re:What is your solution? on Why Is It a Crime For Dennis Hastert To Evade Government Scrutiny? · · Score: 1

    To paraphrase Mr. Miyagi, "You watch too much TV."
    Prohibition helped the mob prosper, but it was already there.
