  1. Re:The idea of variant (var) on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Strangest Features of Various Programming Languages? · · Score: 1
    var var = "binks";

    ...I'm sorry.

  2. Lua[0]? on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Strangest Features of Various Programming Languages? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Lua's standard is, for things like arrays, to start counting from 1. The unlearning of old habits made this a hard adjustment.

  3. Captain Oblivious on Congressman Asks NSA To Provide Metadata For "Lost" IRS Emails · · Score: 5, Funny

    Quickly! Use your fourth amendment violation to help us with this first amendment violation! No, that's not a joke. Why are you laughing?!

  4. Re:SysV is likely to always be supported on Ask Slashdot: Practical Alternatives To Systemd? · · Score: 1

    He said upgrading and not updating, to be pedantic about it.

  5. Confused on Ask Slashdot: Practical Alternatives To Systemd? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what the issue is here.

    If you're looking to avoid using systemd, move to a distro that doesn't use systemd. (I think Mint still uses upstart and Gentoo uses openrc.) Otherwise, do the legwork to support the init system you want to use.

  6. Re:Happy to see it. on Pirate Bay Sports-Content Uploader Faces $32m Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I hear that, and it's a good point. Although one should take note that the $32M is only alleged damages, and not the actual ruling. You can sue for any amount, but that doesn't mean the court will see merit in it.

  7. Happy to see it. on Pirate Bay Sports-Content Uploader Faces $32m Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Content creators going after the uploaders rather than the torrent format or site? Good. That's doing it right.

  8. Color me skeptical on GOP Bill To Outlaw EPA 'Secret Science' That Is Not Transparent, Reproducible · · Score: 1

    The purpose of laws is almost always separate from the selling points used to sell it. So, even if the bill seems to have good method (i.e. making information public), the intention is purely partisan, and the use will be similarly malicious.

  9. Re:Shocking on Adobe Flash Remote Code Execution Flaw Exploited In the Wild · · Score: 1

    Oh, how quickly ActiveX has been forgotten.

  10. Re:OPERA!? on Former Dev Gives Gloomy Outlook On Linux Support For the Opera Browser · · Score: 0

    With a single digit share of the browser market, it's only "remains" in a technical sense. For all intents and purposes it's as good as dead.

  11. In other news... on Study Doubts Quantum Computer Speed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Prototype engine fails to win Formula One race.

  12. Pointless on UK Men Arrested For Anti-Semitic Tweets After Football Game · · Score: 1

    I'm certain that these arrests won't have the desired effect, and I'd venture a bet that they'll foster feelings similar to those of the original tweets - a verbal Streisand effect. I'm confused what the police (and vicariously, those that push for harsh laws pertaining to what may be tweeted) are trying to accomplish here. This isn't good for anyone.

  13. Re:This can't be good on Teachers Get 1 Week To Test Tech Giants' Hour of Code · · Score: 2

    Global average? Oh, I doubt that very much. Perhaps lower than other countries with comparable wealth, or countries in the first world in general -- but the world average? Don't exaggerate / be so alarmist.

  14. Re:Editors, please. on Facebook Comment Prompts Arrests In Cyberbullying Suicide Case · · Score: 1

    Simplified to a silly level for the joke; "Don't post that Facebook update, or I'll shoot!"

  15. Editors, please. on Facebook Comment Prompts Arrests In Cyberbullying Suicide Case · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From TFA: "Both were charged with aggravated stalking." Not sure why this was omitted from the summary, and only the vague "third-degree felony charges" term used. Combined with the somewhat misleading title, implying that it was only facebook comments that got these girls in trouble, it's disappointing link-baiting.

  16. Re:Ignore your problems. on Gene Variant Can Cause Nattering Nabobs of Negativity · · Score: 1

    Way to trivialize depression as an issue of perspective, cured with a single, simple change.

    If we just accept that things are terrible, and be happy about it, we will be happy about it. Genius.

  17. Re:Incoming Snark! on A Teletherapy Startup Removes Barriers To Mental Health Care · · Score: 1

    Crashing?

  18. Re:I'm surprised this didn't catch on sooner. on A Teletherapy Startup Removes Barriers To Mental Health Care · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Forcing people with social anxiety into uncomfortable situations is a piss-poor strategy. Mental disorders are not a "lack of skills", and it's beyond offensive that you would simplify it like that -- it's part of the reason we need remote care in the first place.

  19. Re:Who cares about? on Microsoft Makes Another "Nearly Sold Out" Claim For the Surface Line · · Score: 1

    I've already lost track of the metaphor. Some of these replies completely derailed the thread.

  20. Re:First post! on Adobe Hacked: Almost 3 Million Accounts Compromised · · Score: 1

    From TFA: "nearly three million customer credit card records"

  21. Re:To be fair on Apple Starts Blocking Unauthorized Lightning Cables With iOS 7 · · Score: 2

    I can't imagine that the number of people who die annually from knock-off chargers is a significant number.

  22. Re:Beer bellies not related to beer on Extreme Microbe Brewing: the Curse of Auto-Brewery Syndrome · · Score: 1

    As well as lowering testosterone levels.
