  1. Re:Put your money where your mouth is. on Does Being First Still Matter In America? · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the US remains well in the lead in the area of legislative angry fist shaking.

  2. Re:Not a Turing machine on Halting Problem Proves That Lethal Robots Cannot Correctly Decide To Kill Humans · · Score: 1

    Our tape goes up to 11.

  3. Re:No, this is absolutely normal SOP these days. on Uber Threatens To Do 'Opposition Research' On Journalists · · Score: 1

    Fact is, we need resources to power our economy, and if you give the impression that you oppose EVERYTHING(and there are people who do), or your plan amounts to powering the economy on fairy farts, perhaps your efforts to constrict expansion should be restricted.

    I demand you retract your critique of my patent pending cold fusion technology!

  4. Re:Pinky swear? on Carmakers Promise Not To Abuse Drivers' Privacy · · Score: 3, Funny

    I clearly saw them crossing their fingers behind their backs, so as you know, this is all null and void. I also think I overheard one of them saying something like... "Privacy!? You? Muahahahahahah!"

  5. just practicing.. on Duke: No Mercy For CS 201 Cheaters Who Don't Turn Selves In By Wednesday · · Score: 5, Insightful

    .. for when their jobs are outsourced. It's pretty much the same thing.

  6. .. I'm distracted

  7. Who? on Users Can't Distinguish Scams From Facebook's Features · · Score: 4, Funny

    Who are these Facebooks and why are they on my internets?

  8. Clearly.. on Scientists Find Rats Aren't Smarter Than Mice, and That's Important · · Score: 1

    Mice are smart enough to con researchers into using rats instead. Proof that Douglas Adams was correct..

  9. Re:So confused on Pentagon Reportedly Hushed Up Chemical Weapons Finds In Iraq · · Score: 3, Funny

    And the bush administration, though not bush himself, was pushing the (clearly bogus) nuclear line pretty hard. "Aluminum tubes! Why else would they ever need to buy aluminum tubes?"

    Could these tubes be used for the internets traffic?

  10. Re:Concepts are practically free. on Fusion Reactor Concept Could Be Cheaper Than Coal · · Score: 1

    I charge quite a bit for my concepts. How many did you want? I assure you they are all top notch premium concepts.

  11. Re:metric you insensitive clod! on Fuel Efficiency Numbers Overstate MPG More For Cars With Small Engines · · Score: 1

    You're right. In my experience American dicks are bigger, and far more common; you can barely swing super sized soda in the US without hitting a obese dick

    *an obese dick.

    You're welcome.

  12. .. but what about the return trip? on Russia Pledges To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Sure, they plan to bring humans to the moon by 2030, but when will they come back? Better read the fine print on those fancy brochures..

  13. probably doing it wrong on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Job After Completing Computer Science Ph.D? · · Score: 1
    Well, you have to be willing to "shill" for yourself. Use your network--build your network. Come up with a list of companies you would like to work for, focusing on those where your education would be somewhat relevant at least. Use a multi-faceted approach: network, job board search, network, make direct contacts in companies, recruiters, and so on. I found a job a few years ago in the PRINT classified ads. I found my current job via an automated job search agent.

    Good luck.

  14. Solution: Exoskeleton on Bioethicist At National Institutes of Health: "Why I Hope To Die At 75" · · Score: 1

  16. In other news... on Court Rules the "Google" Trademark Isn't Generic · · Score: 1

    Kardashian is still not a trademark..

  17. Re:Asian-only team? on MIT's Cheetah Robot Runs Untethered · · Score: 1

    European researchers work at MIT and nobody beats an eye, Asian researchers work at MIT and everybody looses their mind.

    One of my favorite (oh sorry, favourite for you spelling challenged Euros :-) .. things about grad school was that our group of friends was from all over the world. I enjoyed being a "minority" white boy.

  18. Re:You know how hot water freezes faster than cold on Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels · · Score: 1

    That has nothing to do with this. But it does demonstrate how fucking clueless your conventional wisdom is.

    Everyone who makes a comment about how this "disproves" global warming is a drooling moron.

    Thanks for that. I feel better now, but it still doesn't mean that we won't get a flurry (ha ha, snow!) of denier bullshit to follow. Sigh.

  19. Re:grow your own exchange on Oregon Suing Oracle Over Obamacare Site, But Still Needs Oracle's Help · · Score: 1

    Or the guys at Oracle will start selling cannabis as medicine in Oregon until they fix it.

    That's it! No more weed for developers until it's fixed!

  20. Re:Dumb neanderthals on Researchers Say Neanderthals Created Cave Art · · Score: 1

    Which is ironic since from what I've read they not only had bigger brains than most modern humans, but they also contributed a good chunk of DNA to Indo-European peoples...

    Yeah, sure, but how many of them published in *peer reviewed* journals? Amateurs.

  21. Re:clarifying rumors: on Time Warner Cable Experiences Nationwide Internet Outage · · Score: 1
    None of this is true. Nimbius, you're fired!

    - Robert Marcus, CEO (who cares a lot about you)

  22. Re:Incredibly wise advice on The Grumpy Programmer has Advice for Young Computer Workers (Video) · · Score: 1

    So, live your entire life as though you're going to get fired tomorrow. Sounds like real fun.

    Well, my advice is to find a decent job doing what you enjoy. Don't just keep a job to run out the clock until you retire. Get good enough to be valuable enough that the company wants to keep you around, and/or find a new business. Or start your own. (Never really done the latter in a serious way, but...)

    My current stats: switched jobs too many times, but for at least a couple of those I stayed longer than I should have, only because I had not been there long enough. I'm 50 now, and hope to stay in the game for another 10 years. But guess what? Working at a job with cool toys (try medical devices) and good people. No urge to go into management, for now.

    Also, learn to network.

  23. Re:god dammit. on Solar Plant Sets Birds On Fire As They Fly Overhead · · Score: 3, Funny

    Household cats and their escaped feral counterparts kill like a 1 billion birds and small animals in the US every year...

    "Fuck them." -- my cat

  24. Re:No doc on Ask Slashdot: Should You Invest In Documentation, Or UX? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Even as intuitive "interface" as bathroom signs require explanation at least one time, and even as widespread as bathroom signs, they still do not have uniform notation.

    I know, right? I have done a lot of work on bathroom signs, but the jerks keep painting over them..

  25. My code is so epic! on Ask Slashdot: Should You Invest In Documentation, Or UX? · · Score: 1
    My code *is* my documentation!

    Sorry, did you want a serious comment? Oh, you want the Serious Comments Division down the hall...
