  1. of course he supports them on Pope Francis Declares Evolution and Big Bang Theory Are Right · · Score: 4, Informative

    fact: what we now call the "big bang" was proposed by Georges Lemaitre, a Catholic preist, in 1927. the alternative "steady state" (basically, the universe always existed) was primarily supported by Anglicans and atheists. The big bang theory was a big fuck you to both of them. I'm glad Pope Frank is keeping it real and isn't afraid to bitch slapping the Anglicans and atheists.

  2. a better question: on Can Ello Legally Promise To Remain Ad-Free? · · Score: 1

    Can soylent news legally promise to remain Bennett Haselton free? Yeah, I think they can.

  3. what a shitty story on Here's Why Apple Rejected Your iOS App · · Score: 1
    dice regurgitates news from two months ago and slashdot posts it. It's like eating your own shit. Or maybe drinking the jizz that drips from your asshole. I'm sure Nerval's Lobster does both, if the slashdice bathroom cameras are accurate.

    Fuck, maybe next they'll post the one weird tip Lindsay Lohan uses to save money on car insurance.

  4. Re:Options... on Ask Slashdot: Aging and Orphan Open Source Projects? · · Score: 1

    Forget Google code. Google is very happy to shut off the lights on their 20% projects. It's a miracle (or perhaps oversight) that it hasn't already been killed. They've been neglecting power users and programmers over time (they killed google code search for example). They use google code for their own shit so they have to keep it around, right? Wrong. They use fucking github to host many of their open source projects (and they don't use it at all for internal projects). Do you think the McDonald's corporate cafeteria has catering by Burger King?

    tl;dr - Google code is on life support with a do not resuscitate order. And also has ebola.

  5. Tried emacs years ago on GNU Emacs 24.4 Released Today · · Score: 1

    The productivity gains are real. It's not from using emacs, from by not showering, not bathing, not shaving your beard, etc.

  6. Perfectly-timed? on Apple's Next Hit Could Be a Microsoft Surface Pro Clone · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The only difference between samsung and every other android manufacturer is the advertising/carrier kickback budget. Samsung can't compete on the low end because it destroys their profit margins. Meanwhile, the low end android manufacturers are quickly becoming mid/high end android manufacturers because that's where the money is at. It's the same story as IBM PC industry, except it took 10 years instead of 30.

  7. FORK DEBIAN! on Debian Talks About Systemd Once Again · · Score: 3, Interesting

    good call. Then, instead of one distro that's 5 years out of date, we can have two distros that are ten years out of date.

    But seriously, systemd sucks. I don't understand why people would take a good operating system (and this has happened with Windows (vista and 8), OSX (Yosemite), and GNU/Linux (gnome, systemd)) and ruin it for the sake of ruining it.

  8. also applies to flash and acrobat on Adobe: Click-to-Play Would Have Avoided Flood of Java Zero-days · · Score: 5, Insightful

    how's them apples?

  9. awesome on Google Announces Motorola-Made Nexus 6 and HTC-Made Nexus 9 · · Score: 2

    This may be the only time android users can experience a 69! Well, outside a LUG, that is.

  10. Robocoin has 44 operational ATMs worldwide on The Great Robocoin Rip-off · · Score: 1

    "leading bitcoin ATM manufacturers"? LOL. Is that like the leading slashdot beta ux guru?

    ATM means Ass To Mouth, by the way.

  11. Re:Ob on The Subtle Developer Exodus From the Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    Expecting your app to rake in millions just because it's on the app store is like expecting a car load of bomb-ass pussy to show up on your doorstep just because you've watched some porn. There's a reason some people are getting some and you're not.

  12. Re:Hear Hear on Who's In Charge During the Ebola Crisis? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the exact same interns, 20 years later! After the fat chicks turned into dykes.

  13. worse is better isn't the problem on Fighting the Culture of 'Worse Is Better' · · Score: 1

    worse is worse is the problem.

    worse is better: a bunch of lisp/haskell weenies complaining that people use C

    worse is worse: node.js

  14. Who can you think of that is less popular? on Interviews: Ask Florian Mueller About Software Patents and Copyrights · · Score: 0

    how about the mid level manager in charge of slashdot beta?

  15. What Is Your Relationship with Microsoft & Ora on Interviews: Ask Florian Mueller About Software Patents and Copyrights · · Score: 5, Informative

    Oracle paid him (disclosed by Oracle under court order) while he was blogging in support of them. He admits to having been paid by Microsoft in the past.

  16. and, most importantly, shill on Interviews: Ask Florian Mueller About Software Patents and Copyrights · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You write about companies. Some of them have paid you (directly or perhaps indirectly through their advertising agencies, etc). What's the intersection of that set?

  17. surely you could have just jacked off at home and nobody would have been the wiser...

  18. Ruby dying? on Goodbye, World? 5 Languages That Might Not Be Long For This World · · Score: 1

    Startups? 90+% of them are going to fail big time. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

  19. What about those dead before being born? on Goodbye, World? 5 Languages That Might Not Be Long For This World · · Score: 1

    They're not dead, they're just resting. The real problem is languages that were born retarded, like javascript. And were then shaken vigorously and given a bag of paint thinner to huff on, just in case that helps perk them up. Yeah, node.js, drooling over in the corner, I'm calling back to you.

  20. Online Sports Network on FCC Rejects Blackout Rules · · Score: 1

    You can watch MLB, NHL, or NBA, if you don't mind paying for it.

  21. Help me! on Interview With Facebook's Head of Open Source · · Score: 1

    Ok, don't panic. You don't want to spend the rest of your life wondering if you ate poop so the best thing to do is find some more poop and eat it. Because knowing is half the battle.

  22. I'm sorry on Building Apps In Swift With Storyboards · · Score: 1

    SlashDice manager here. I'd like to apologize for this shitty article. I thought we fired Nerval's Lobster but it turns he's the CEO's retarded kid or something. Apparently, he didn't use to hire him! Lesson learned! Dice: slightly better than hiring the CEO's retarded kid.

  23. try SLASH on How To Find the Right Open Source Project To Get Involved With · · Score: 5, Funny

    beta.slashdice manager here. We're desperate for open source (ie, unpaid) programmers. No experience necessary! (or even desired). Make an immediate impact by editing directly on the production servers without testing or pointless code review meetings. Your choice of editors - vi, emacs, ed, pico, joe, or whatever happens to be installed on the server.

  24. Re:Quick check string on Bash To Require Further Patching, As More Shellshock Holes Found · · Score: 1

    That's the second vulnerability, this article is about the third (or fourth?) vulnerability.

  25. Parsers on Bash To Require Further Patching, As More Shellshock Holes Found · · Score: 1

    Oh it parses it just fine. It was just a dumb idea to parse it in the first place.

    If somebody chokes and die eating dog shit picked up off the ground, the proper question to ask isn't "why didn't he chew before swallowing?", it's "why the fuck was he eating dog shit?"
