  1. Please Let the Caliphate Flourish! on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 1

    A stunning tribute to the arabs who came before ISIS, who invented things like the number ZERO, would be for the US and other nations to allow ISIS to "prosper" for the next several years. We could then turn our military budgets into school budgets to increase our own kids' knowledge in math and the sciences. Let facts be our guide.

  2. high licensing fees, again on What To Expect With Windows 9 · · Score: 1

    i doubt Nadella will fix the biggest problem at Microsoft: high licensing fees.

  3. 22 people tested on Farmers Carry Multidrug-Resistant Staph For Weeks Into Local Communities · · Score: 2

    well we can just scale that up and apply the results to millions of farm workers worldwide (not)

    this is such a small pool of tested people that the results cannot be applied beyond that specific group.

  4. didn't work for me on College Students: Want To Earn More? Take a COBOL Class · · Score: 1

    I took 1 cobol class and have been consistently under-earning my peers by $20k/year. Alas, I'm a Network/Server/project manager and not a coder.

  5. Re:An Opportunity to Add a Feature on Apple Outrages Users By Automatically Installing U2's Album On Their Devices · · Score: 1

    like stocks. i have no interest in stocks; i think it's inherently an immoral way for wealthy people to gamble with the future of the world. please let me delete this, apple.

  6. wtf is rapper Tyler, The Creator? on Apple Outrages Users By Automatically Installing U2's Album On Their Devices · · Score: 1

    some dbags will say anything to get their name a little popularity. he may not be U2's target market but boo-hoo-hoo, what a crybaby.

  7. finders keepers on Congress Can't Make Asteroid Mining Legal (But It's Trying, Anyway) · · Score: 0

    losers weepers, beyotch

  8. correction: 1 OS to FAIL them all on Microsoft Killing Off Windows Phone Brand Name In Favor of Just Windows · · Score: 1

    Apple has already proven that one size does not fit all when it comes to operating systems by demonstrating the performance benefits of right-sizing an OS for a hardware platform. Microsoft seconded this notion with Windows 8, stuffing a touch-based OS into a zillion pc's without touch screens. Alas, they're still a couple of dimes short of a dollar, and are pushing a one-size-fits-all solution that pretty much everyone else agrees is a terrible idea.

  9. evolution is too slow on US Rust Belt Manufacturing Rebounds Via Fracking Boom · · Score: 1

    if we humans could just evolve quicker so that polluted water could be consumed, then all this nonsense about "saving the earth" by banning fracking would just go away.

  10. The Joker's next weapon: Salmon Cannon on Restoring Salmon To Their Original Habitat -- With a Cannon · · Score: 1

    Slaps you in the face with a fish; leaves a nasty sting and smell.

  11. Re:Why buy American? on IT Job Hiring Slumps · · Score: 0

    what a crock of shit. i've never met a group of more deceitful thugs in my life as the gentlemen I've met from the sub-continent.

  12. Re:My experience on IT Job Hiring Slumps · · Score: 1

    and yet the need for network engineers and server managers is diminishing due to virtualization and keeping all your data in the cloud.

  13. the light is an oncoming train on IT Job Hiring Slumps · · Score: 1

    IT Hiring is fucked permanently because we are susceptible to the fraudulent belief that Indian programmers are as good as their American counterparts. This ignorance pervades corporate IT hiring, whereupon outsourcing looks pretty cheap when compared to hiring a competent American. Alas, they fail to consider the risks because IT is an EXPENSE, not an INVESTMENT. #idiots

  14. A perfect opening for the Chinese on Invasion of Ukraine Continues As Russia Begins Nuclear Weapons Sabre Rattling · · Score: 1

    As Russian soldiers depart from their eastern borders to invade Ukraine, this provides the Chinese with a perfect opening to pour across Russia's eastern border. "I want to remind you that China is one of the world's most powerful nations. This is a reality, not just words."

  15. NetTrek on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection? · · Score: 1

    I wish someone would update this for Windows or OS X. I played this for hours with my buddies in the ND computer lab back in 1990-1991.

  16. Re:Main Confusion Stems From Vocabulary? on No, a Stolen iPod Didn't Brick Ben Eberle's Prosthetic Hand · · Score: 1

    but bricks build houses! or (charcoal briquettes) can be used to grill meat.

  17. Re:Thank you on No, a Stolen iPod Didn't Brick Ben Eberle's Prosthetic Hand · · Score: 1

    big city reporter? or unpaid blogger? you decide, story at 10.

  18. A letter to your state's Attorney General? on Ask Slashdot: What To Do About Repeated Internet Overbilling? · · Score: 1

    get the ball rolling on court action for a giant class-action lawsuit by explaining to your AG that you're tracking them, and they're consistently lying on your bill. also start engaging the power of the press by calling your local newspaper, promising them a scoop.

  19. but i'm on a mac on TechCentral Scams Call Center Scammers · · Score: 0

    and therefore i know there's no viruses.

    at this point in time is when i loudly tell the scammer to do horrible things to their family members.

  20. banning it is stupid on Put A Red Cross PSA In Front Of the ISIS Beheading Video · · Score: 1

    of course they should show it. banning events from your service just means that the people who want to see it will seek it out elsewhere.

    I myself have no desire to watch it or Faces of Death or the snuffing of human life in 40's WWII newsreels. Man is a terrible creature.

  21. Re:wow on Dropbox Caught Between Warring Giants Amazon and Google · · Score: 1

    I've never paid to access Slashdot, except when using my mobile phone on an airplane. CROOKS!

  22. wake me when I can run MacOS on OSX on Virtual Machine Brings X86 Linux Apps To ARMv7 Devices · · Score: 1

    Seriously, I'd love to run older apps (games) on my Mac Pro. Very little reason for Apple to Kill Rosetta except spite.

    yep, knew it all along

  24. what a load of horseshit on Tech Looks To Obama To Save Them From 'Just Sort of OK' US Workers · · Score: 1

    correlation does not equal causation
