  1. Eish! on Microsoft to Open Source Minecraft-Based Project AIX · · Score: 1

    Looks like Microsoft is struggling to find anything useful to do with that $2.5bn 'investment'

  2. Re:Can anyone explain to me why... on Leaked Islamic State Documents Identify Thousands of Jihadis (sky.com) · · Score: 1

    Which separatists and extreme left groups? I don't think i read the same page you did.

  3. Islamists are responsible for about 5% of terror?? on Leaked Islamic State Documents Identify Thousands of Jihadis (sky.com) · · Score: 1

    Where the hell did you dig out that bs stat from? Your own ass? Holy cow!

  4. Re:To access their network on iOS 9.3 Will Tell You If Your Employer Is Monitoring Your iPhone (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    My company requested that I set up company email on my phone so that they could send me emails when i am not in the office (why the hell would i agree to that in the first place? Once i'm off the clock, it would have to be something so important that someone turns up at my door to tell me in order for me to care in the slightest, and in that case why would I need email?).

    Then it turns out that in order to receive company email on my phone, I would have to give it to the IT department to let them install all sorts of security and god-knows-what-else crap on it.

    Needless to say my answer was a slightly more PC version of "Go fuck yourself" than "Go fuck yourself"...

  5. You should meet the homeless in montreal...

  6. Re:So what should we do? on Jeep/Chrysler's New Gearshift Appears To Be Causing Accidents (roadandtrack.com) · · Score: 1

    You really want to read a whole manual every time you get a new car? How about reading a manual every time you buy a screw driver or spanner?

    That's worse than learning a new phone OS every time google puts out a new android version...

  7. Re:Maybe just a tiiiny bit... on Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli Threatens Ghostface Killah · · Score: 1

    I don't really want to have to do research on every single crappy story just to find out that it's a crappy story.

  8. Maybe just a tiiiny bit... on Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli Threatens Ghostface Killah · · Score: 2

    of backstory? I'm sure you could have fit that in with the 2 line summary...

  9. Re:Interview "Grilling" or "Testing" is Poppycock on Google Has Toughest Interview Process For Developers, But Not the Worst (getvoip.com) · · Score: 1

    This is how I feel with any head-hunter and any job: If they came looking for me, there should be no interview process, no tests, no bs questions, about team spirit. If my reputation led you to me, that should be all you need.

  10. Re:Bad guys on FBI Admits It Uses Stingrays, Zero-Day Exploits (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    This is all adjacent to the fact that police brutality accounts for 0.04% of black deaths, while black on black violence accounts for close to 80%. There is a big problem here, but they have taken the wrong one and run with it.

  11. Re:Time, once again, to post... on UK's National Crime Agency Publishes Crazy Cyber-Crime Warning Signs (oomlout.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Is this parody? I'm blown away...

  12. Re:Thermos is the ultimate AI on Is AI Development Moving In the Wrong Direction? (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a question for the ICP!

  13. Re:I dunno... on What Is the Future of the Television? (ben-evans.com) · · Score: 1

    Because cellphones are cool if you're a moron walking down the street groping your nuts and listening to rap music XD

  14. Re: Fail. on On iFixit and the Right To Repair (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Stereotypes are useful and exist for a reason. You think they are just completely made up from nowhere? LOL.

  15. Re:Venom on "Clock Boy" Ahmed Mohamed Seeking $15 Million In Damages · · Score: 1

    Statistics like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Tally up the Islamic terror events on one side, and every other event on the other side, then come back here and say that again (along with your tallies).

  16. "that's not my job" on Slashdot Asks: Is Scrum Still Relevant? (opensource.com) · · Score: 1

    Problems arise when for instance, you have a developer that has spent the last 20 years specializing in low level optimization and then ask him to fix some python scripts for you. I don't believe you can be a low level expert and also have had the time to learn a bunch of high level scripting stuff, even if it interested you, which it probably wouldn't. You may *think* you can master both, but you cant...

  17. "The website hosts the usual anti-Western icon..." on After Paris, ISIS Moves Propaganda Machine To Darknet (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    So, while using their computers, the internet and the dark web, they are protesting Western iconography? I bet the irony is completely lost on these gutter crawling cur.

  18. How did you get to +4 insightful with that bs? on NASA Eagleworks Has Tested an Upgraded EM Drive · · Score: 1

    You've totally missed the point of the quote. You have also missed the word "appears" in "because it appears to violate..." and the fact that it appears to violate such laws is the EXACT reason one needs some extraordinary proof that the claim is in fact correct. Wow, you failed on so much here and these morons gave you +4. Congratulations.

    We are not dealing with mathematical proofs here, we are talking about the amount of evidence that is required to sway someone's belief. If I told you that I had corn flakes for breakfast, you wouldn't require much evidence/proof to believe me, but if I told you that I just came back from the planet Kolob, your personal threshold for believing me might possibly require more evidence than with the first claim. And by extraordinary, you can read that as "peer reviewed and triple checked for measurement errors" or "triple checked that there isn't a really thin string going off the to the side, being pulled by someone, or someone in the next room with a giant electromagnet" or whatever else anyone could use to fake this.

    Would you accept photographs from Kolob as proof? If proof is proof, then my photos should suffice.

    +4 lmao, what a JOKE.

  19. Not artificial fingerprints on New Artificial Fingerprints Feel Texture, Hear Sound (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    This is clearly artificial skin, just because it's corrugated does not make it an 'artificial fingerprint', whatever that might be (imho)...

  20. SCIENCE isn't strictly a science! on Facebook Launches Initiative To Attract More Minorities and Women To Coding (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, but by that logic, SCIENCE isn't strictly a science because you have to use Language to talk about anything in science!

  21. Calling a guy a "pussy" is not making out that female genitalia or having female genitalia is a bad thing, it's making fun of the guy's lack of masculinity, which in the real world, for a male, isn't usually desired.

    Its the same as when calling a women a "dog" - you're not saying that you think dogs are bad, but rather that the woman has taken on the visual features of a dug, ie. she's ugly.

  22. Re:Johnny can code.... on Revisiting Why Johnny Can't Code: Have We "Made the Print Too Small"? · · Score: 1

    I don't remember /anyone/ thinking that I was cool because I could program...

  23. Re:Maybe Johnny just doesn't give a fuck on Revisiting Why Johnny Can't Code: Have We "Made the Print Too Small"? · · Score: 1

    You're making a joke, but as a kid, from the age of 4, all I wanted to do was electronics until I used my first zx spectrum at about 7 or 8 years old, then after that all I wanted to do was code/program. I work as a game engine programmer but have no interest in playing games.

    Johnny who wants to do nothing but play computer games has no hope to begin with. Teach aspiration to Johnny, rather than something he's not interested in, and then you may see some results.

  24. Re:How the times have changed... on 'Clock Kid' Ahmed Mohamed and His Family To Leave US, Move To Qatar · · Score: 1

    You've just stumbled upon Darwinian Evolution.Well done. Not a good enough reason IMHO - Look! Some kid put a fork in another kid's eye, BAN ALL FORKS ON THE PLANET! Look! Some kid hit another kid with a textbook, BAN ALL BOOKS ON THE PLANET!

    I was wondering if you you can cite any references on this idea? Because I personally think it's complete BS.
