  1. We're providing a valuable service here! on Regionally Encoded Toner Cartridges 'to Serve Customers Better' · · Score: 1

    By taking more money from our customers, it ensures that they have less money to waste of fatty foods and sugary sodas, ensuring better health for them.

    YOU'RE WELCOME!

  2. Richard Stallman is gonna be PISSED on Italian City To Dump OpenOffice For Microsoft After Four Years · · Score: 0, Troll

    Sometimes you realize that reality trumps ideology.

  3. Yeah, that's what I tried to explain to my wife on Hackers Publish Cheating Site's Stolen Data · · Score: 3, Funny

    people should remember that it was possible for anyone to create an account using the name and e-mail address of other individuals

    See honey, even Slashdot acknowledges it! It was a hack. It could have been anyone using my email and credit card. They probably just got lucky on the penis length thing.

  4. Re:Slashdot on Another Wave of Publications Shut Down Online Comments · · Score: -1, Troll

    I've been at least reading Slashdot, at least occasionally, since about 1997 or so? I've seen it change hands more than once. This latest owner is without a doubt taking a globalist posture. I know this due to the way the stuff that hits the front page are by default in agreement with the Third-Wave Feminist position on everything. Gamergate, women in STEM, the unquestioning stance on climate change and vaccines, the site has certainly taken a globalist stance since Cowboy Neil and Commander Taco are pretty much out of the picture and there's a media company behind it.

    What hasn't changed is the very Libertarian approach to the comments section.

    I love the way the Slashdot users stubbornly refuse to conform to the victimist/liberal ideology of the Slashdot editors. Must drive them crazy to post so many "Evil White Males Responsible For All Evil in the World!" articles, only to have them mocked and torn apart by the vast majority of the audience (at least it gets page views I guess). Silicon Valley liberals once again disappointed that the rest of the world won't fall into line with their ideology.

    Slashdot without comments would die.

    Nonsense! I bet there's a huge market for poorly-edited summaries of week-old news. And if that weren't enough, they've got Bennett Haselton too!

  6. So much for many-to-many communication on Another Wave of Publications Shut Down Online Comments · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We're going back to the old ways!

    WE SAY, YOU LISTEN!

    Thank you,
    Old media (and now new media too)

  7. Well yeah, so with many games still 32-bit on Revisiting How Much RAM Is Enough Today For Desktop Computing · · Score: 1

    I've got a lot of memory that could theortically let me run a bunch of different games at once. But it's not too useful to any *one* of them, since they're almost all still stuck in 32-but world.

  8. Who put the ishy in the washy? on The Tech Problems Inside Nintendo's Amiibo Toys · · Score: 1

    Nintendo, I remember them from the 80's and early 90's. Loved playing that little dago who jumped on turtles. Didn't Sony or Microsoft buy them out around the turn of the century?

  9. Re:Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or whoever on Rupert Murdoch Won't Be Teaching Your Children To Code After All · · Score: 1

    It's only immoral if you can't explain it away as "an essential part of our free market system." (or, as it's translated into non-bullshit, "FUCK THE REST OF YOU! I'M RICH!")

  10. Re:I dern't believe it! on F-35 Might Be Outperformed By Fourth-Generation Fighters · · Score: 1

    Of course the problem with both jets is that they're way too expensive compared to earlier jets the US already has.

    It's only a problem if you're a taxpayer. If you're Lockheed Martin, this was an essential part of the F-35 design. And it has been a huge success.

    To paraphraseth the great Dick Jones of OCP "It's going to make us a fortune in military contracts! WHO *CARES* IF IT WORKS?"

  11. Re:MOOCs: my worst education experiences ever. on Rupert Murdoch Won't Be Teaching Your Children To Code After All · · Score: 0

    So many of the other forum participants were from India, China, or some African country, asking for their certificate PDF even before the course had started! I mean, the course videos, assignments and exam weren't even available yet, but these people demanded that the professor leading the course send them the certificate that they had not earned right away!

    And people wonder why outsourcing to India isn't always such a great idea.

  12. Probably realized he didn't need it on Rupert Murdoch Won't Be Teaching Your Children To Code After All · · Score: 0

    Why wait 20+ years for cheap workers when you can bribe Congress to give you all the H1B's you want RIGHT NOW?

  13. Oh shit, DO NOT mess with the Wolf! on CNN and CBC Sued For Pirating YouTube Video · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Wolf Blitzer gonna fuck you up, dude.

  14. Re:Yawn... on Time Runs Out On Sweden's Sexual Assault Charges Against Julian Assange · · Score: 0

    You may have forgotten that the most powerful country in the world (with the largest military in the world and a long history of bullying other countries into extradition, outright kidnapping, torture of prisoners, assassinations, etc.) DESPERATELY wants Assange either rotting in a prison or dead.

    So yes, he's a little more than just some asshole who founded a website and had some petty legal troubles. Assange and Edward Snowden are two of the most wanted men in the world, and they're wanted by the most powerful and aggressive country in the world.

  15. Re:Nope. on Fitbit Wants To Help Corporations Track Employee Health · · Score: 1

    Turn it on, mail it to a relative far away, and when they return it, let your company know that you ran over 1,000 miles in the last week.

  16. Re:Fat Shaming on Fitbit Wants To Help Corporations Track Employee Health · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's what always creeps me out about any sort of "employee wellness" programs in the workplace. There is an all-too-fine line between an optional program with fun rewards and a de facto mandatory program with harsh punishments.

  17. Re:Great idea! on Fitbit Wants To Help Corporations Track Employee Health · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll willingly give them a stool sample if they like.

  18. Re:Is it 1984 yet? on Fitbit Wants To Help Corporations Track Employee Health · · Score: 2

    I bet employees at Konami WISH they only had to deal with Big Brother.

  19. Next up on Slashdot on The LibreOffice Story · · Score: -1

    The heroic story of my Debian fork!

  20. Re:1...2...3.... on Thunderstrike2 Details Revealed · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You just don't understand. Owning Apple is a way for hipsters to demonstrate their originality and reject the herd mentality of you PC users. This is achieved by buying all Apple products like every other hipster.
