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

    I like your point of view.

  2. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Alan Turing's Notes Found After Being Used As Insulation At Bletchley Park · · Score: 1

    Anything in there concerning something like "P" or "NP"? One can dream...

  3. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 1

    Such a great idea to deprive your offspring(s) of an active social life. Better keep them safe rather than risk catching them years later smoking marijuanas under a bridge. Homeschooling is all about control and oppressiveness.

  4. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on The Pirate Bay Is Back Online, Properly · · Score: 2

    How do we know it's legit?
    i.e. not a honeypot or some kind of trick...

  5. Re:And does Slashdot understand the threat? on EFF Unveils Plan For Ending Mass Surveillance · · Score: 1

    They're not even IPv6 capable. Give these poor lazy fuckers a break.

    This. No more download.com bullshit.

  7. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on PHP vs. Node.js: the Battle For Developer Mind Share · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's all fine and dandy until you remember we're still stuck in a single thread.
    Now cue the apologists.

  8. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Unofficial WhatsApp Library Gets End To End Encryption Before Official Clients · · Score: 1

    Implemented only in Android? Then how do Android users communicate with everyone else? I'm missing something here...
    (please note: i do not have whatsapp).

  9. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on The One Mistake Google Keeps Making · · Score: 1

    I thought it was the creeping feature removal and the preference of design over functionality.
    Just look at those huge, uninformative, intrusive and ballbusting new android 5 notifications as opposed to the perfect ones we had before.
    Mind you, i'm not totally against material design at all but at this stage i find it... "hillbillysh".

  10. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Manslaughter Conviction Overturned For Scientists Who Didn't Predict Earthquake · · Score: 5, Informative

    Will you ever get it right? Will you ever get the fucking title right?
    They did not fail to predict.
    They said we (yes, i was there at the time) could stay home since the likelihood of a strong earthquake was not heightened by the preceeding MONTHS-long swarm.

  11. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Nevada Earthquake Swarm Increases Chance of Larger Quake · · Score: 4, Informative

    L'Aquila, Italy, 2009.
    Mistakes must not be repeated.

    Morons modding me offtopic, go figure what the fuck is up with them.

    Thus my nickname.

  14. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Pentagon Unveils Plan For Military's Response To Climate Change · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If i recall correctly, similar reasoning was adopted by Mr. Homer J. Simpson while addressing his car's engine issue as he proceeded to string a strip of duct tape over the blinking warning light.

  15. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Ask Slashdot: Why Can't Google Block Spam In Gmail? · · Score: 1

    I have a rather trivial gmail nickname. I have 3 mails inside the spam folder and of course none in my inbox. Either i've been extremely conservative in publicizing my address or you are especially bad at it.

  16. Re:Don't want financial troubles on FBI Says It Will Hire No One Who Lies About Illegal Downloading · · Score: 1

    "Susceptibility to bribes"? I agree but at the same time i can't help but notice that this comes from the same system that legalized bribery.
    If you're important enough, of course.

  17. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on FBI Says It Will Hire No One Who Lies About Illegal Downloading · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Default on student loans? Sickening.

  18. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Scientists Seen As Competent But Not Trusted By Americans · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's exactly what happened. Perhaps i didn't express myself clearly enough.

    You must be into marketing, you almost convinced me to fund your expedition!

  20. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Elon Musk: We Must Put a Million People On Mars To Safeguard Humanity · · Score: 1

    Your habitats are fine and dandy but how do you bring thousands of them on Mars (+ extras of course)?

  21. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Elon Musk: We Must Put a Million People On Mars To Safeguard Humanity · · Score: 1

    I do realize the time scale and i agree about the need of having a "backup humanity". I'd go as far as having colonies way outside the solar system too. Though i don't think these colony can rely on confined habitats. I don't think they can be self-sustaining. Too many things will go wrong. At most they can be good up to a thousand years (very optimistically speaking) but after that you're gonna need a proper planet to thrive, especially if we're talking millions of people.

  22. Re:Islam and Math / Science on Are the World's Religions Ready For ET? · · Score: 0

    I'm not denying religious influence, of course. The dark ages were such a long period of technological and scientific advancements. Then came something else.

    In what way i'm making it worse? Oh and off topic, BTW.

  24. Re:Not helping the problem either on China Worried About Terrorist Pigeons · · Score: 1

    I don't want to break my comment up to fill that stupid space and since you cannot leave it empty at least i entertain myself in "protesting" that way.

    Oh really?! You must be either ignorant, republican, a troll, in bad faith or all of them. Bye troll.
