  1. Re: But why? on How To Increase the Number of Female Engineers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm actually a-ok with my barista being able to discuss, intelligently, the evolution of literature, arts, and what not vs some kid who just wants to spit in my order, go back home, smoke pot and call me a racial epithet on xbox live.

  2. Didn't the US Navy just announce a similar process on Audi Creates "Fuel of the Future" Using Just Carbon Dioxide and Water · · Score: 1

    I recall reading the USN had also created fuel using seawater by extracting H2 and CO2 from seawater and turning it into fuel via a catalyst, is this the same thing?

  3. Re:The problem is "beneficial" on Concerns of an Artificial Intelligence Pioneer · · Score: 1

    What if those 100 random strangers are all assholes?

  4. You broke a tooth, didn't you?

    Can I have some?
    No.

  7. Re:Why is it even a discussion? on Republicans Introduce a Bill To Overturn Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Because I have a god-given right to profit, that's why!

  8. Explore all you want on California Looks To the Sea For a Drink of Water · · Score: 1

    But until you do something, you're just pissing in the wind.

  9. Re:wildfires? on Obama Says Climate Change Is Harming Americans' Health · · Score: 1

    At least when we say our chicks are hot, we mean they're fit and attractive. His chicks are just dumpy and wearing wool sweaters and struggling to pedal their vintage bicycles.

  10. No thanks.

  11. Re:wildfires? on Obama Says Climate Change Is Harming Americans' Health · · Score: 2

    Our chicks > your chicks.

  12. I do a lot of what I do for money on IT Jobs With the Best (and Worst) ROI · · Score: 1

    but mostly because I mostly enjoy the job. We don't need another wave of money-chasing mouth-breathers fucking up the industry.

  13. Oh goody on Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Near Launching Presidential Bid · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe she can fire Congress and fill their positions with H1Bs. Not like they can do any worse.

  14. Re:Move more, eat less on Hacking Weight Loss: What I Learned Losing 30 Pounds · · Score: 1

    I eat with my hands, you insensitive clod!

  15. Re: Idiot Parents on Online "Swatting" Becomes a Hazard For Gamers Who Play Live On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Sometimes, it's tough for parents to realize that yes, their kid is a fucking asshole.

  16. OMG POSTAL DISRUPTION 2015 on To Avoid NSA Interception, Cisco Will Ship To Decoy Addresses · · Score: 0

    Onion routing for the Postal Service! Now throw me a couple billion dollars so I can spend it all on hookers and blow.

  17. Re:Ridiculous on How To Make Moonshots · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A boy once asked a successful businessman what makes a man successful?

    "Good decisions, my boy, good decisions!"

    The boy thought for a moment and then asked how does a man learn how to make good decision?

    "Bad decisions, my boy, bad decision."

    I've found in life life I learn more from my mistakes than my successes. Similar to how poker players can rarely tell you about all the pots they've won, it's the big ones they lost that stand out in their minds.

    Feel free to change gender of the examples. It doesn't change the message.

  18. Re:Transparency in Government is good! on White House Office of Administration Not Subject to FOIA, Says White House · · Score: 1

    The Tea Party has shown that you don't need a third party to shift your party's stance on issues. By all rights, Tea Party doctrine was originally Libertarian Light, but realized the futility of supporting the Libertarian party with all it's other fruits and nuts to contend with. Occupy failed to materialize in any tangible gains for the Democrats (although it's fair to say Occupy was a type of Libertarian stance in and of itself: Many aligned with the "too much government" side; others in the "we need more regulation" side), but other than Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, most dems are doomed to taking safe routes to Capitol Hill. It's a shame, really, I'd love to see a full on crazy vs crazy war; at least it would force us to really examine the issues at stake.

  19. I'm disappointed in my fellow geeks on Billionaire Teams Up With NASA To Mine the Moon · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "what's up there? This is stupid!"

    Seriously, turn in your geek cards, every fucking one of you. I don't care what's up there, if someone wants to put a fucking space colony on the moon, FUCKING AWESOME. We're not going to get off this rock until people start doing shit, even if that shit fails and blows a lot of money, because we can learn from those failures and keep trying.

    Seriously, it's like I just stumbled into high school again. "Who needs math, math is stupid! Why do you read science fiction, that's stupid!" Fuck off, some of us have dreams.

    All the dust you can eat!

  22. With regards to the cape cod nonsense.. on The US's First Offshore Wind Farm Will Cut Local Power Prices By 40% · · Score: 3, Funny

    To "preserve the view", I vote we erect the turbines, but make them look like giant penises sticking out of the ocean.

  23. c++? on Ask Slashdot: Which Classic OOP Compiled Language: Objective-C Or C++? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd go with C++ as the toolchain is mature and if you want to do any GUI work there's Qt, etc. Obj-C is more limited on Linux, but I"m sure the Windowmaker guys would love to have some more folks on board.

  24. Re:Telecommuting sort of sucks on Marissa Mayer On Turning Around Yahoo · · Score: 2

    My office has telecommute days where coming in is optional and more often than not, I make the trek through LA traffic to work in the office. Not as many distractions and, because many of our devs work from home, the office is nice and quiet.
