  1. Re:can't resist on Slashdot Asks: Is Scrum Still Relevant? (opensource.com) · · Score: 1

    If you are doing Scrum properly then a project WILL take longer overall. But you get working, deployable features sooner. That's the tradeoff. And there is no reason you should be working overtime in Scrum moreso than waterfall or any other framework.

  2. Re:Scrum Was Never Alive on Slashdot Asks: Is Scrum Still Relevant? (opensource.com) · · Score: 1

    No offense, but you have terrible people on your team. You should be working together to achieve a goal.

  3. 1880... on This October Was the Hottest Ever Measured (scienceblogs.com) · · Score: 1

    Can they explain the millions of warming cycles that occurred when humans weren't on earth yet?

  4. Re:Climate has never not been changing. on This October Was the Hottest Ever Measured (scienceblogs.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So basically whatever happens (more snow, less snow, more ice, less ice, etc.) the cause can be attributed to global warming. Got it.

  5. We Need Legislation To Combat The Double Dynamo on Double-Dynamo Model Predicts 60% Fall In Solar Output In The 2030s · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that the climate has influences beyond humans?

  6. Atlas Shrugged on FTC Officials Looking Into Apple's Streaming Business Model, Say Sources · · Score: 1

    If you don't like Apple's policies, don't do business with them.

  7. Worst Story Title Ever on How Verizon Is Hindering NYC's Internet Service · · Score: 1

    The lack of effort from Verizon is not *hindering* anyone from obtaining internet service from anyone else. That's like saying LeBron James not playing on your basketball team is hindering your team.

  8. Don't Like It? Don't Use It! on New Study Accuses Google of Anti-competitive Search Behavior · · Score: 1

    I'm sure glad we have law professors to save us from ourselves!

  9. End Public Schooling on Freedom of Information Requests Turn Up Creationist Materials In Schools · · Score: 1

    Then parents can choose whatever school and curriculum they want for their children.

  10. This could be the most overblown "problem" ever on Report: Internet Users Feel Powerless To Protect Their Privacy From Corporations · · Score: 1

    If you want to protect your data from corporations, don't type it in. This is like being afraid of green sweaters. Don't buy one!!!

  11. The Only Suitable Whales Existed in 1986 on New Findings On Whale Tongues May Lead To Insight On Human Nerve Damage · · Score: 1

    We'll have to go back in time to get them.

  12. The best ever Slashdot headline? on Ancient Megadrought Entombed Dodos In Poisonous Fecal Cocktail · · Score: 1

    I think so!

  13. Re:Perfect security on Planes Without Pilots · · Score: 1

    The US military drones have not yet been hacked.

  14. Death Of A Nerd Icon on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Luckily, most of those grieving live with their mother, so comfort is near. Although you have to go upstairs from the basement to see her.

  15. Economic Ignorance on The Software Revolution · · Score: 1

    If technology people get rich, they spend their money--whatever they spend it on requires jobs to fulfill.

  16. Is the problem the servers or the network? on Black Friday '14: E-commerce Pages Far Slower Than They Were in 2013 · · Score: 1

    If the network is hitting capacity, why would a network company want to invest in higher speeds, if the gov't is going to tell them how to run their network?

  17. Disgusting on Scanning Embryos For Super-Intelligent Kids Is On the Horizon · · Score: 1

    Any public money this guy is getting should be taken away. We need to be curing cancer.

  18. Classic Simpons Quote Is Appropriate on States That Raised Minimum Wage See No Slow-Down In Job Growth · · Score: 1

    Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.
      Lisa: That's spacious reasoning, Dad.
    Homer: Thank you, dear.
      Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
    Homer: Oh, how does it work?
      Lisa: It doesn't work.
    Homer: Uh-huh.
      Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
    Homer: Uh-huh.
      Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?
    Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

  19. Streisand Effect on Zazzle.com Thinks Depictions of Pi Are Protected Intellectual Property · · Score: 0

    This guy is seriously in need of a Streisand-ing. Can we find contact info and/or a review page we can hit?

  20. This is good news on Netflix Blinks, Will Pay Comcast For Network Access · · Score: 1

    This will spur development of more broadband to people's homes as there is now a double demand for broadband. Google Fiber would then offer a better price to Netflix, and a price war would occur.

  21. Where has the last 20 years gone!? on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    It seems like it was just yesterday I was playing this game when it came out. Had a null modem cable to connect 2 PCs in adjacent rooms. Was too short to reach thru the hallway so we had to swing the cable window-to-window to connect. Endless battles between my brother and I. Creating custom levels using the free tools (DCK, I think?).

  22. Except Taxes Went Up on Obamacare Could Help Fuel a Tech Start-Up Boom · · Score: 1

    Except taxes went up (including investment taxes) so there is less money for investment.

  23. Then don't use Verizon on Verizon's Plan To Turn the Web Into Pay-Per-View · · Score: 1

    Verizon owns the fiber so they can do whatever they want with it. If you don't like it, don't use Verizon.

  24. Previous Warming Periods on 97% of Climate Science Papers Agree Global Warming Is Man-made · · Score: 1

    100% of scientists believe that periods of global warming that occurred from 4.6B years ago through 5000 years ago were NOT caused by humans.

  25. Then DON'T USE IT on Is Silicon Valley Morally Bankrupt and Toxic? · · Score: 1

    If you don't like Google or Facebook, don't use them. I don't use Facebook. They can do whatever they want, zero privacy, share all data, etc. Doesn't affect me.

    These companies only survive if they satisfy their customers. If they annoy people they will go out of business. No regulation required.
