  1. For those that don't want to wait a year: on OpenSSL To Undergo Massive Security Audit · · Score: 2

    you can wait a year for their results or just use libressl today. They've already identified, deleted, and/or fixed hundreds of bugs.

  2. there are plenty of open source leeches on On Firing Open Source Community Members · · Score: 2

    There's a guy I know. Call him Charlie. Not his real name. In fact, it's more than one guy. I'm sure you know many Charlies, too.

    Charlie is a core contributor to half a dozen high profile open source projects. Not that he actually, contributes anything useful. But he hangs out on the irc channel and did just enough (which probably involved closing tickets as "will not fix") to get invited as a core team member. Based on his name, other projects invite him as a core contributor.

    I run an open source project. It was featured somewhere (not slashdot!) and had a hype boost. Almost instantly, I get an email from Charlie asking if he can be a core team member. His only contribution was sending that email. Not even starring it on github. So I told him to fuck off.

  3. Re:Slashdot can do video, but not an image? on Is That Dress White and Gold Or Blue and Black? · · Score: 1

    and what does frequent contributor Bennett Hasselton think about it?

  4. Re:Best news I've heard all day on Researchers Block HIV Infection In Monkeys With Artificial Protein · · Score: 1

    haha, but what about penguins?

  5. the most important thing: on Ask Slashdot: Terminally Ill - What Wisdom Should I Pass On To My Geek Daughter? · · Score: 1

    Tell her how good slashdot used to be, before beta, before dice, before va linux, before the pt cruiser, before andover.net.

    On second thought, fuck that. Take your money and go to Amsterdam. Party it up with all the hookers and drugs while you still can. And pay extra for bareback. It's not like AIDS will kill you!

  6. NSA Director is a piece of shit on NSA Director Wants Legal Right To Snoop On Encrypted Data · · Score: 1

    Decrypt this, asshole! --> G_ F_ck Y__rs_lf

  7. Re:Best news I've heard all day on Researchers Block HIV Infection In Monkeys With Artificial Protein · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    But seriously, primates (other than humans) have small peckers. And even for humans, asian peckers are pretty small, too -- compared to whites or blacks -- but consistent with other primates. Anyhow, the point is, if you need a small monkey condom, do like Rob Malda and shop at the asian grocery store for your condoms. Just don't tell them that they're actually designed for fingers, not peckers!

  8. That's some good news on Researchers Block HIV Infection In Monkeys With Artificial Protein · · Score: 0

    But it gets even better: you can use it as lube when you're butt fucking your boyfriends!

  9. "a public repository" on When Chess Players Blunder · · Score: 1

    Yeah, a public repository on github. What was that other place? Oh yeah, sourceforge. I think google delisted them for serving malware. Kind of funny how that used to be hot shit in the open source world. If that doesn't prove your standards are too low, I don't know what does.

  10. Interesting... but on Facebook Brings React Native To Native Mobile Development · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's interesting technology (both react and react native). But the javascript ecosystem and tooling is a bag of shit. People put up with it on the web because you don't have a choice. The only reasonable explanation for node.js to exist is that some people are too stupid to learn php. javascript on the server or desktop or pocket is a massive step backwards. But this caters to people who are too stupid to understand that so I'm sure it will be wild success. Sometimes I think intel is bankrolling the javascript hype to sell faster processors to compensate for slower and dumber code. I also wonder if wonder if wearing skinny jeans causes mind-numbing crotch pain to the point that, relatively speaking, javascript is a pleasure to use.

  11. Coffescript is good for people that love the worst parts about javascript, python, and ruby.

  12. nice try asshole on Blackberry CEO: Net Neutrality Means Mandating Cross-Platform Apps · · Score: 1

    Let's start by re-releasing the QNX source code as open source. You know, like it was before you cocksuckers bought it.

    Choke on a bag of dicks.

  13. Re:Please develop for my dying platform! on Blackberry CEO: Net Neutrality Means Mandating Cross-Platform Apps · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yo dawg, I heard you liked rumors so I made another rumor about your rumor.

  14. Re:COBOL on Is D an Underrated Programming Language? · · Score: 2

    That's the funny thing about languages like D or Go or Rust that try to replace C. C programmers don't use them. If they get any adoption its from elsewhere (rust seems to be hyped by haskell and rubes, Go by pythonistas)

  15. Re:Does anybody give a shit? on Librem: a Laptop Custom-Made For Free/Libre Software · · Score: 1

    Stolen? It was FREE!

  16. Does anybody give a shit? on Librem: a Laptop Custom-Made For Free/Libre Software · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I mean, Richard Stallman is the only person that cares, and this isn't extreme enough for him.

  17. Re:This guy hasn't done his research. on Justified: Visual Basic Over Python For an Intro To Programming · · Score: 1

    burn!

  18. node.js on Justified: Visual Basic Over Python For an Intro To Programming · · Score: 1

    it's javascript, so any idiot can use it. And "idiot who works for cheap" should be your number 1 criteria for someone writing back-end server code. (Yes, believe it or not, there are people too stupid to "learn" php.) That's what makes it webscale(tm).

  19. Re:This guy hasn't done his research. on Justified: Visual Basic Over Python For an Intro To Programming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The VB compiler is written in VB. C compilers are written in C. Why isn't Python written in Python? But maybe you know more than the people who know it the best, the core developers!

  20. based on the title on The Fixes Sony's DualShock 4 Controller Still Needs · · Score: 1

    I expected some sort of stupid Bennett Hasselhoff rant. You know that joke? "The food tastes terrible! And the portions are too small!" Yeah, that's slashdot and sony.

  21. MkLinux is pretty good on Why Run Linux On Macs? · · Score: 2

    No offense, ninnle linux, but mklinux is pretty good. It's linux on top of the mach microkernel. (Think of it as a "fuck you" to gnu/hurd, though that's not why it exists :-). Since it's sponsored by Apple, it works better on Apple hardware than the stock linux kernel. Maybe now that Linux is using OS X and Sublime Text for linux development, we'll get better Macintosh support in the mainline kernel? Anyhow, mklinux is pretty cool.

  22. Re: RMSDS on Systemd's Lennart Poettering: 'We Do Listen To Users' · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of Stallman parties. You know, people with one issue and one answer. "If we legalize meth, we can eliminate the deficit" (Legalize Meth Party). "If we lower the age of consent to 11, we can end the recession" (Lower the Age of Consent to 11 Party) "If we stick our thumb up our ass, we can bring peace to the middle east" (Thumb Up Our Ass Party). Democans and Republicrats start looking pretty good when those clowns are invited to the debates.

  23. just like slashdot beta on Google Glass Is Dead, Long Live Google Glass · · Score: 2, Funny

    or slashdot, for that matter. might as well just mod_redirect this shit to goatse or dice.com

  24. Re:Which ultimately applies to any human activity. on Bitcoin Volatility Puts Miners Under Pressure · · Score: 1

    burmashave?

  25. slashdot saves slashdot by killing beta.slashdot on Man Saves Wife's Sight By 3D Printing Her Tumor · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    haha, just kidding.
