  1. There is no perfect lang on Ask Slashdot: Is C++ the Right Tool For This Project? · · Score: 1

    C++ is often unreadable but e.g. Objective C is only usable on Apple computers.

  2. Dice mismanagement? on Google Criticized For 'Opaque' Audio-Listening Binary In Debian Chromium · · Score: 1

    Who are these people? How did they get in control? Should users migrate elsewhere?

  3. Re:Meanwhile Islamists joined the pro-Ukraine side on Russian Troops Traced To Ukrainian Battlefields Through Social Media · · Score: 1

    According to the source I listen to, one set of the Islamists are Chechens, brought in to "protect" factories. There is another set coming from possibly Syria. These are not Tartars.

  4. Re:Linux will not win for a different reason: syst on Elop and Others Leaving Microsoft, Myerson Taking Bigger Role · · Score: 0

    A pity. I use Slackware but sometimes it is too tedious for me to endure. At times I just want things to be automatic. I really liked Debian's automatic hard drive encryption feature. I have requested that the next Slackware include precisely that.

  5. Re:Microsoft will fall on Elop and Others Leaving Microsoft, Myerson Taking Bigger Role · · Score: 0

    Apple is probably foolish to do so, I agree. But there is an upside: Most of the pollution resulting from that manufacturing is staying in China!

  6. Re:Mastermind? on Elop and Others Leaving Microsoft, Myerson Taking Bigger Role · · Score: 1

    Haven't you heard? Techies are all geniuses according to journalists! The obvious falsehood of that claim is harder to address, as it requires *work*, whereas it is so easy to be a cheerleader. Tech journalism is a joke.

  7. Re:Microsoft will fall on Elop and Others Leaving Microsoft, Myerson Taking Bigger Role · · Score: 0

    Your reasoning is poor. Apple is forcing the Chinese to help them innovate, which is like herding cats, whereas manufacturers like Dell and HP are forced to do the bidding of Microsoft and they can only make the Chinese do their bidding because of large volumes. Apple is in the driver's seat.

  8. Microsoft will fall on Elop and Others Leaving Microsoft, Myerson Taking Bigger Role · · Score: 1

    But Linux will not win either. Because of the controlling behavior of Chinese manufacturers, hardware drivers will always be an impossible problem to solve. This means the Apple has a achieved checkmate. Windows is loathed, Apple is well-liked, and Linux is hobbled.

  9. Neo-fascists run Ukraine now--it's a fact on Russian Troops Traced To Ukrainian Battlefields Through Social Media · · Score: 0, Troll

    The USA knows that Neo-fascists run Ukraine now and has been in favor of putting the far right into power. The USA has come full circle-- from defeating the far right in WW2 to helping put them in power. http://www.globalresearch.ca/t...

  10. Meanwhile Islamists joined the pro-Ukraine side on Russian Troops Traced To Ukrainian Battlefields Through Social Media · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This has been reported. The neo-Nazi Ukraine government has joined up with Islamic militants. Russia may suck in many ways because of Putin, but Russia is on the right side of this conflict.

  11. Re:Supreme court to DOJ, Challenge Accepted on US Justice Department Urges Supreme Court Not To Take Up Google v. Oracle · · Score: 0

    DOJ is corrupt. We know that from the fact then they did not prosecute Wall Street for their various crimes to do with derivatives.

  12. Re:Clean room implementation? on US Justice Department Urges Supreme Court Not To Take Up Google v. Oracle · · Score: 0

    No they just helped the CIA. That's enough.

  13. If an API is not open-source, why isn't it private on US Justice Department Urges Supreme Court Not To Take Up Google v. Oracle · · Score: 0

    Let the case go forward. And let the FSF provide a free and open license for APIs. This is the only way. And let Google finally stop this nonsense of using Java and a virtual machine. It was dumb from the beginning, it's no less dumb now.

  14. I'm glad Google's reseachers didn't discover this on Scientists Reverse Aging In Human Cell Lines · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Google wants to patent everything, including the means to reverse aging. Don't be evil Google!

  15. Re:It's the Brogrammers who are the problem on Building Hospitable Open Source Communities (Video) · · Score: 0

    And I would add that a significant portion of the d*ckheads are not Americans, as Americans tend to be more laid back despite our being productive.

  16. It's the Brogrammers who are the problem on Building Hospitable Open Source Communities (Video) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Guys who are all ego are the problem. Call them Brogrammers, or trolls, or d*ckheads. I've met them repeatedly in job interviews and they are detestable. They're all about personal power and imposing it on others through jerk behavior. No wonder then they are also misogynists and homophobes and douche bags.

  17. Re:Fuck atheists on Third Bangladeshi Blogger Murdered In As Many Months · · Score: 1

    The only demonic things that comes to mind is religion and its bigoted adherents.
