  1. this perltidy sure gets around on Anonymous No More: Your Coding Style Can Give You Away · · Score: 1

    seems to be a very prolific coder

  2. that reads like a press release on Windows 10 IE With Spartan Engine Performance Vs. Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 0, Troll

    Microsoft can't afford advertise elsewhere?

  3. No North Star or Big Dipper in the So Hemi on What Northern Hemisphere Astronomers Are Missing From the Southern Hemisphere · · Score: 1

    suck it southern astronomers!

  4. wow, it's not even Jan 1, let alone April 1 on The Interview Bombs In US, Kills In China, Threatens N. Korea · · Score: 1

    the movie has been sold out in limited theaters
    the most pirated movie of christmas (this should be a slashdot money shot)
    the movie is funny as hell.

    I hope this article is meant to be satire

  5. I have a kindle killer already on I Want a Kindle Killer · · Score: 1

    I refer to it as an iPad

  6. there is only one alternative on Microsoft Continues To Lose Money With Each Surface Tablet It Sells · · Score: 2

    Double production and halve the price!

  7. Patty McCord sounds like a solid "B-" on Netflix: Non-'A' Players Unworthy of Jobs · · Score: 1

    a severance package for Patty would be in her best interest.

    what would nextflix need A players for? they mostly carry B and C material.

  8. Slashdot Posting Darwin Award 2013 on Ask Slashdot: Mac To Linux Return Flow? · · Score: 1

    >> I might just go to using Windows 7 for the desktop (not Win8, however).

    congratulations to the 2013 Slashdot Posting Darwin Award.

  9. Apple maps obsolete forever on Revamped Google Maps Finally Available On iOS · · Score: 1

    Apple should give up and just pay google. their effort sucked, their product is utter shit, and their credibility is shot because of this idiocy.

    of course, you cannot delete the apple maps abomination, the best you can do it stuff it into a folder where you don't have to look at anymore.

    never thought I would need a folder named "Shit Apps" on such a nice device, but there it is.

    nice work google, and thanks.

  10. because many young developers on What's the Shelf Life of a Programmer? · · Score: 1

    are for the most part idiots?

    now you kids get off my lawn

  11. only 7000 apps? on Trouble For Microsoft Developers With the Windows Store · · Score: 5, Funny

    that's only like 3 per RT user?

    the horror

  12. Clue here on Why the Tablet Market is Really the iPad Market · · Score: 1

    The iPad is simply the superior product. It just is. By a large and currently unspannable margin.

  13. make it run on UNIX on Microsoft Wants Your Feedback On Its New Python IDE · · Score: 1

    ANY unix, come on microsoft show how much less you suck than before.

    I didn't think so

  14. Spend the money and get Dreamweaver on Ask Slashdot: Web Site Editing Software For the Long Haul? · · Score: 1

    you won't need to buy it ever again, the version you get will do everything you need, forever.

    you can let it do the work, this gaining the wrath of the pure, or you can just code up the html with your bare hands.

    the preview is nice, the fact it pulls up related pages for edit (.css files, etc) is useful and it will manage your site tree and ftp for you as well.

    pricey, but a good product that isn't going away.

    Vi, Vim are great too. but that doesn't sound like what you are looking for.

  15. A review of this book on LotR Rewritten From a Mordor Perspective · · Score: 2

    cannot be located here! however, I have 200 differing opinions from non-copyright lawyers about copyright law.

    after I read this book, I will post a review of the copyright comments entered here.

  16. but the best part of a windows laptop is the flair on AMD Hates Laptop Stickers As Much As You Do · · Score: 1

    more stickers please

  17. but had they predicted it... on Geologists Might Be Charged For Not Predicting Quake · · Score: 1

    in Italy, they may have been burned as witches.

    all this is nonsense, everyone now knows earthquakes are caused by women dressing indecently.

  18. tethering was shown over a year ago on iPhone 4 Beta Shows AT&T Tethering · · Score: 1

    then never released. I'll believe it when I see it. surely it won't be available until ATT figures out how to handle the traffic and charge 3 times what it's worth.

    before you do anything else, Apple... remove the ATT monopoly

  19. cheap outsourcing opportunity missed during WWII? on Outsourcing Unit To Be Set Up In Indian Jail · · Score: 1

    seems a bummer for the Germans that there was no IT outsourcing market during World War 2, the west would likely have simply done business with them.

  20. cheaper to sue than fix? on Will Adobe Sue Apple Over Flash? · · Score: 1

    So Adobe lawyers suing apple to force them to allow a kludge on their platform is a better approach than fixing the problems in Flash?

  21. what is this REALLY about? on Steve Jobs Weighs In On iPhone Programming Language Mandate · · Score: 1

    the Wolfenstein people said it was a piece of cake porting Wolf 3D to the iPhone

    I wonder if this isn't really about Apple cutting off script kiddies at the knees by now allowing half-ass interpreters and extra "layers" on top of what is their gig. and the subsequent whining as the copy/paste elite have no templates to apply their incredibly awesome skillz on.

  22. a usable GIMP is one of the on GIMP 2.8 Will Sport a Redesigned UI · · Score: 1

    signs of impending apocalypse

  23. my iPhone does just fine on Why Has No One Made a Great Gaming Phone? · · Score: 1

    Castle Wolfenstein works pretty damn well on an iPhone. don't need no stinking "gaming phone"!

    Solitaire and bubblewrap popper also seems to work flawlessly....

  24. yes on Do Your Developers Have Local Admin Rights? · · Score: 1

    it's simply impossible to do your job otherwise

  25. Re:runescape is a scam on Man Arrested For RuneScape MMORPG Online Robbery · · Score: 1

    well, I admit I did not read that in the TOS

    had I been smart enough to read that I would certainly have never made such transactions

    my opinion stands that these games exist solely to create an environment for enabling theft.
