  1. Teach the test on Software Takes On School Science Tests In Search For Common Sense · · Score: 1

    Actually using these as benchmarks would bring "teach the test" to a whole new level.

  2. Neat on Japanese Engineer Develops 'WalkCar,' a Mini-Segway · · Score: 2

    Looks like fun but 12km really isn't very far, especially if you want to ride it to your destination and back, in which case you can only go places up to 6km away.

  3. And the NSA? on Obama's New Executive Order Says the US Must Build an Exascale Supercomputer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What would the existence of an exascale supercomputer mean for today's popular encryption/hashing algorithms?

  4. I wonder... on The Unintended Consequences of Free Windows 10 For Everyone · · Score: 1

    If this had been done with Windows 8, would it have been successful? Or is Windows 8 so bad Microsoft couldn't give it away. What's keeping people in Windows 7 doesn't really seem to be the cost...

  5. Such is C on C Code On GitHub Has the Most "Ugly Hacks" · · Score: 0

    C Code EVERYWHERE has the most "ugly hacks"

  6. Re:isnt..... on SurveyMonkey's CEO Dies While Vacationing With Wife Sheryl Sandberg · · Score: 0

    "Ms." can be used for both married and unmarried women. You might be mixing it up with "Miss".

  7. So does this mean... on Alan Turing's Notes Found After Being Used As Insulation At Bletchley Park · · Score: 2

    We get The Imitation Game 2?

  8. Re:women in science on Study: Belief That Some Fields Require "Brilliance" May Keep Women Out · · Score: 2

    And since this is Slashdot, Grace Murray Hopper deserves a mention for creating the first compiler.

  9. Re:Did he.. on White House Touts Obama's 1-Liner as 2014 Tech Highlight · · Score: 3, Interesting

    He did the widget-moving, but he also really wrote a real line of JavaScript.

  10. Show Her The Frozen Coding Lessons on Programmer Father Asks: What Gets Little Girls Interested In Science? · · Score: 1

    Let her know that princesses are programming too now.

  11. What I want to know is... on WHO Timeline for Ebola Containment Proves Hard To Meet · · Score: 2

    How do you "safely Ebola" somebody? It sounds pretty dangerous to me.

  12. This was a good choice on 2014 Hour of Code: Do Ends Justify Disney Product Placement Means? · · Score: 2

    Elsa is the perfect programming role model

    • - She's creative enough to architect an ice palace on-the-fly.
    • - She spends most of her life alone in her room.
    • - She never has to worry about CPU overheats.
    • - She's already great at creating AI (Olaf, Marshmallow).
    • - She's rich enough to afford Bay Area rent.
  13. Re:If the goal is to interest girls in coding on 2014 Hour of Code: Do Ends Justify Disney Product Placement Means? · · Score: 1

    Frozen is THE most popular thing with young girls right now. This isn't really disputable.

  14. Why iPad? on Every Public School Student In LA Will Get an iPad In 2014 · · Score: 2

    Why iPad? Reading textbooks and answering questions doesn't seem like it requires a premium tablet. Why not a much cheaper Android one?
