  1. Right hand on Ask Slashdot: Do You Press "6" Key With Right Or Left Hand? · · Score: 1

    on the numpad

  2. "allow illegal discussions on its site" on Russian Government Threatening To Block Reddit Over Cannabis · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Discussing cannabis growth is not illegal. Actually growing cannabis is.

  3. Its not hard on The Fastest-Growing Tech State Is... Minnesota · · Score: 1

    Gowing from Zero to One is infinite growth ;)

  4. Let me point out on System Administrator Appreciation Day 2015 · · Score: 2

    that on this side of the pond its 21:30 and we are already later than all of asia, so thanks for taking away SysOpDay from all the rest of the world you pricks!

  5. Re:Well, sure, but... on Genetically Modified Rice Makes More Food, Less Greenhouse Gas · · Score: 1

    Obvious farscape reference: http://farscape.wikia.com/wiki...

  6. Step 1: buy a metric shitton of storage space (virtual or physical)
    Step 2: put your data on it
    Step 3: ???
    Step 4: profit

  7. Buy last year's stuff on Ask Slashdot: Best Bang-for-the-Buck HPC Solution? · · Score: 1

    99% of the time, there is no real usable improvement between the last years and this years model (i.e. maybe in the 10% range if at all). But you can get last years version for half (or less) of the introduction price which usually is way lower than the current versions price.

  8. Tomorrow in the yellow press on Study: Living Near Fracking Correlates With Increased Hospital Visits · · Score: 1

    "Fracking causes hospital visits to rise"

  9. Stupid idea on Simple Geometry = More Seats In an Airline · · Score: 1

    rather finally give us planes that have arrays of sleeping compartments like in fifth element! One stash to the left, one to the right of the isle, job done.

  10. Don't learn it on To Learn (Or Not Learn) JQuery · · Score: 1

    Just look it up whenever you need something. Separating learning and using is such an outdated concept.

  11. Everyone has to have a first fail on A Failure For SpaceX: Falcon 9 Explodes During Ascension · · Score: 1

    better now then when crew is on board

  12. So "Time machine" is right again on High-Fat, High-Sugar Diet Can Lead To Cognitive Decline · · Score: 1

    small, fluffy creatures that are pretty dumb

  13. You mean ... on Does a Black Hole Have a Shape? · · Score: 1

    a shape other than round or elipsoid

  14. Re:sourceforge significantly reduces crapware on Land Art Park Significantly Reduces Jet Engine Noise Near Airport · · Score: 1, Insightful

    maybe you should submit a story then, instead of writing off-topic comments

  15. Powerpoint abuse != powerpoint being bad on Why PowerPoint Should Be Banned · · Score: 1

    PPT is a _presentation_ tool, not something to run meetings.Its great to summarize stuff and it is obviously not made to show complexity (as presentations are about making the subject easy enough to understand for people not strongly involved in the topic).

  16. Re:That is _not_ an organ on Musical Organ Created From 49 Floppy Disk Drives · · Score: 1

    it seems the usage of the word "organ" is even more watered down in the english language than the use of the -gate postfix.

  17. That is _not_ an organ on Musical Organ Created From 49 Floppy Disk Drives · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Organs are defined by their way of operation which works by blowing air into pipes of different length to make a sound. What they built could be best described as an electro-mechanical keyboard (if it even has keys)

  18. Overpriced on Mechanical 'Clicky' Keyboards Still Have Followers (Video) · · Score: 1

    Get a Cherry MX Board 3.0, its 60€ and you can get whatever switches you want. No stupid lights, no useless macro keys, just a pure keyboard with awesome feel.

  19. And thats why the MOT checks emissions here on 25 Percent of Cars Cause 90 Percent of Air Pollution · · Score: 1

    and does not let you back on the road if the values are bad.

  20. Because Waterfall does not work on Why Was Linux the Kernel That Succeeded? · · Score: 2

    At the heart of it, kernel development seems to always have been very YAGNI and agile, while all others were thinking about great concepts and not producing any real-life results.

  21. Don't show the authors names to reviewers on Scientists Have Paper On Gender Bias Rejected Because They're Both Women · · Score: 1

    I mean seriously, how hard is it to not show who wrote the paper to the reviewer? Its none of his business anyhow when he should rate the contents of a paper, and on the contrary can induce a huge bias (not only for gender reasons)

  22. Fights for the last spot on New Study Suggests Flying Is Greener Than Driving · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure, both trains and busses have lower footprints, esp. if you consider that its trivial to run trains from renewable sources (as they normally run on electricity). Also the study probably forgets to include the fuel it takes me to get to the airport, which is often a considerable amount (eg. for me it would mean driving nearly 80km per direction).

  23. JQuery is something to learn? on JavaScript Devs: Is It Still Worth Learning jQuery? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I always used it like "fuck it, I'm lazy, lets go"

  24. Re:I have an idea ... on Drought and Desertification: How Robots Might Help · · Score: 1

    one of those things that automatically puts a stamp on pieces of paper you put into them?

  25. I have an idea ... on Drought and Desertification: How Robots Might Help · · Score: 1

    we replace the rich people with robots, because then we can get rid of the golf courses and mansions which are huuuuge water hogs.
