  1. Re:Social Media can still work on EU Rules Would Ban Kids Under 16 From Social Media (theguardian.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is not contradictory to his point.

  2. Re:Good. on In New Study, HIV Prevention Pill Truvada Is 100% Effective · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obviously, the solution is to contract HIV and see if the two balance each other out.

    Considering they're based out of Milan, I doubt they were that concerned about US regulations.

  4. Re:Slashdot you are no better on Reddit Removes Communities To Address Harassment, Users Respond · · Score: 1

    There were multiple submissions about the story a while before any made it to the /. main page. It wasn't until some users raised some shit in the comments for some unrelated articles that more users got wind of the story and demanded answers. After all that, the editors finally published a submission about the SourceForge hijacked, but severely neutered the original submission to make it sound innocuous.

  5. Re:Hmm on Reddit CEO Ellen Pao Bans Salary Negotiations To Equalize Pay For Men, Women · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You're assuming the women are negotiating with men, which reveals your own prejudice.

    I'm still sad they abandoned/scuttled that project.

    I liked him until I met him.

  8. Re:Good grief... on Bill Nye Disses "Regular" Software Writers' Science Knowledge · · Score: 4, Informative

    He visited my university when I was still in school, and I had the opportunity to meet him. The man is an asshole.

    It may be pronounced like "sapphire"? I dunno.

  10. Re:Awkward... on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 1

    Children are very much like puppies. If you don't socialize them before they grow up (go to college), they turn into neurotic messes when put into a very social environment.

  11. Re:Let the bile flow through you on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's what I was implying, but wording it as a joke. I think parents like this would be better off letting their children go to public school, but staying involved in their education outside of school and encouraging their children to succeed. Most parents aren't cut out to be teachers, let alone teach their own children and retain a positive parent-child relationship (preventing the child from relying too heavily on their parents when they're older), and it's very difficult to replicate the socialization provided by public school.

  12. Re:As a parent, which requires no testing or licen on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 1

    Compare the AC's children's achievements with the average child in public school whose parents care about his or her education and encourage him or her to succeed at school. The results are about the same, with the downside of the homeschooled child lacking critical social skills.

  13. Re:Awkward... on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 1

    Agree 100%. If you, as a parent, are willing to put that much effort towards educating your child, do it in addition to public schooling, not in place of it.

    So what you're saying is for all that extra work, you got average results.

  15. Re:If Only the Article Addressed That ... on Behind the MOOC Harassment Charges That Stunned MIT · · Score: 1

    Then he should have left the "women" part out of it. Both men and women suffer from abuse, from their same sex and the opposite sex. We'd be better off focusing on preventing abuse in general, instead of specifically focusing on "man abuses woman" cases. There are many woman-against-man, woman-against-woman, and man-against-man abuse cases that don't get the attention they deserve because they're seen as less important.

  16. Re:If Only the Article Addressed That ... on Behind the MOOC Harassment Charges That Stunned MIT · · Score: -1, Troll

    So what you're saying is women are weaker and more manipulable than men?

  17. Re:Prototyping security? on Researchers Moot "Teleportation" Via Destructive 3D Printing · · Score: 2

    Luckily, the object is stored in the transporter buffer, and with a little sci-fi magic we can reconstruct the object and save the day minutes before the episode ends.

    That's not how it works. The rifle isn't remotely controlled, it just assists in aiming.
