  1. Re:After 30 years of programming on What Are the Genuinely Useful Ideas In Programming? · · Score: 1

    +1 This is exactly how I feel. Great advice. Now to convince management.....

  2. Re:good? on NSA's New Utah Data Center Suffering Meltdowns · · Score: 1

    It's rare to see the human race be proactive on issues of this scale. The NSA's "spying" is probably a baby-step towards just more of the same. With a couple changes in management, throw in a few more incidents....who knows. Cannot predict the future but you sure can hyperbole the fuck out of it.

  3. Re:good? on NSA's New Utah Data Center Suffering Meltdowns · · Score: 5, Funny

    The NSA started scanning itself causing infinite recursion....like looking at yourself through a mirror through a mirror, except digitally. I have infinite bank accounts and I have infinite hits on cougarfinder.com

  4. This is so last quarter... on 11-Year-Old Coloradan Will Brew Beer In Space, By Proxy · · Score: 2, Informative

    What next, the five year old girl gets flown to the capitol to cook a batch of meth in the bathtub?

    You obviously haven't taken the tour of the white house.

    They sure do like to vote though.

  7. Why not have the NSA rm -rf your messages for you on NSA-resistant Android App 'Burns' Sensitive Messages · · Score: 0

    I randomly insert the string "Lindsey Lohan" into my text messages.

  8. Politicians next? on Technologies Like Google's Self-Driving Car: Destroying Jobs? · · Score: 0

    Would you rather deal with flesh and blood politicians or a 'complex set of algorithms' that: 1. gather data from everyone into one central location (done), 2. Run Monte-Carlo simulations inputting the data gathered into random combinations of governmental systems and subsystems. 3. program police robots to kick your ass.

  9. Re:I'm just waiting on PTSD-Monitoring App Captured the Psychological Effects of the Boston Bombing · · Score: 1

    Great, just great. Now we need an app to track company patterns that may indicate possible attacks.

  10. Its all about altitude.. on Why We Need to Keep Our Night Skies Dark (Video) · · Score: 1

    If (when) our mountains of garage reach a certain height we can just put our telescopes on top.

  11. Re:Let's just cover the basics here real quick... on UW Researchers Demonstrate First Direct Communication Between Human Brains · · Score: 0

    Yes but this article clearly intends that you use a strangers left hand.

  12. Re:Did anybody RTFA? on New Drug Mimics the Beneficial Effects of Exercise · · Score: 0

    I doubt the implication is that you can sit around on your ass popping these pills and expect to get buff...

    Here at /. I just look at the pictures. Playboy, now thats a different story.

  15. Re:150 lashes? on Liberal Saudi Web Forum Founder Sentenced To 600 Lashes and 7 Years In Prison · · Score: 0

    In America the question is how many licks does it take to get to the center.

  16. Re:The battles was just bang at the end on Epic Online Space Battle · · Score: 0

    Wait wait wait...the second they put down their soda cans and do something "external to the game" you complain? And it's not even external...I was hoping for actually getting out of one's chair and walking over to another's view screen to spy on the enemy....or getting information by sleeping with one of the enemy's hot sisters.....or better yet screw the game just hang with the sister. What were we talking about?

  17. Re:Huh? on How Do You Get Better Bug Reports From Users? · · Score: 0

    QC tells developers that their product sucks and then tells the boss their product sucks and why. Then the developer has to fix things in a timely manner like their getting paid or something....its horrifying. OTOH, user's just give vague feedback and allow the developer more opportunities to be condescending...much like it when IT snickers at you when you can't do something because you don't have the correct permissions/roles. This process also allows the developer opportunities to manufacture job security through poor design and/or setting self serving goals.

  18. In Soviet Russia... on City-Sized Ice Shelf Breaks Free Of Antarctica · · Score: 2

    the land ice's land water is deeper than....wait...above or not as deep....fuck.

    What if WE post the ads? Would that stop the spy's?...... "Hey everyone, check out of this picture of me climbing my first mountain. Sure wouldn't have been able to do it without this cold refreshing Coke!"

  20. Re:will never happen: requires forethought on How To Block the NSA From Your Friends List · · Score: 1

    The internet started far more distributed than it is now, and people flocked en-mass to centralized networks to which they could give complete control over their data and communications. People do not think beyond their immediate personal convenience, so any such idea for the long term good is doomed from the start if it requires the slightest bit of forethought.

    My god man! Did you even think of the repercussions before posting that!

  21. Spam as a solution on How To Block the NSA From Your Friends List · · Score: 1

    Start posting madly on your social networks on how you are such a great astronaut, phrenologist, sharpie shooter, and day-time tv show star; your generosity towards the RAWD (Retarded African Wild Dog) foundation; your hobby as a Soucier specializing in spiritual sautes. Because posting your actual information to get a little acknowledgment from 'friends' was so worth it.
