  1. Re:UK invented HTTP. on ICANN's Cozy Relationship With the US Must End, Says EU · · Score: -1, Troll

    The EU, on the other hand, really only differs from the US in hate speech

    They also differ in many things considered as "outrageous" or "inappropriate" in the US and not in the EU.

    Considering all that we've seen lately that the US gov't has been up to, how you can even attempt to suggest that you compare favourably to the EU is a mystery. Today's US is a parody of those "Land of the free, home of the brave" platitudes in your anthem. Ukraine is showing you how it's done, and Poland before them. "USA!!1!" What a pathetic joke.

    How all of the comments about Beta are being moderated to ZERO or worse since that recent story.

    Stay strong people... uprate slashbeta comments despite this blatant attack on the userbase.

    How you managed to pull off +4 Interesting for that, I can't imagine.

  7. "Reply to comment"?!? What? Don't you mean "Subj on Not Just Healthcare.gov: NASA Has 'Significant Problems' With $2.5B IT Contract · · Score: 1

    The only difference between NASA and Slashdot is that NASA doesn't rely on the "audience" to keep afloat.

    I can see soooooo(!) many things wrong with that statement, ...

    NASA's "audience" is US taxpayers and Congress, just to start.

    OT: Why does beta think I use noscript when I don't? I'll admit to ABP, however. I suggest /. get some neophytes who've never been to /. to try its commenting system, to see if they can figure out how to use it. I'll bet they (the neophytes) can't. Where's editing help and the Subject line box?

  8. Re:Fuck beta.slashdot on Former Red Hat COO Helps Health Care Providers Work Together (Video) · · Score: 1

    If it was clear, why did you need to clarify?

    It's a figure of speech. An opening to a sentence ...

    Pardon me. I was unaware that you're a moron. You could have just said, "Yeah, there really was no reason why I inserted that "clearly" other than to try to make myself look like I was a Great Writer." Instead, you lash out with the ubiquitous "Grammar Nazi" crap when cornered. I'll try not to bother you in the future, possibly upsetting that lovely apple cart you've built.

  9. Smackdown?!? on Utah Bill Would Prevent Regional Fiber Networks From Growing · · Score: 1

    I don't think that word means what you think it means (if it's even a real word). From what I've read on the subject, it's more like, "Oopsie! We went a little too fast and didn't have all our ducks in a row. We'll iron out a few wrinkles first, then go live again soon. Sorry for any inconvenience this may've caused you."

    Clearly what I meant to say there ...

    If it was clear, why did you need to clarify? As for the "Re-design", I feel so left out. I see nothing that's much changed from what I'm used to seeing. Do you need to be using a toy computer (cell phone) to be offended?

    Your country is literally defined by its unwillingness to let people leave.

    No, that's a trait common to many civilizations, nor is the US an exemplar of the practice.

    Get real. Who are these mythical utterly naive people who were blissfully unaware prior to Snowden as to what the NSA was and did? I have an EFF T-shirt from about five years ago that was protesting it loudly.

  15. Re:Mitnick, an elite white hat hacker? on Hacker Says He Could Access 70,000 Healthcare.Gov Records In 4 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Mitnick is no hacker. He's little more than a scammer and a con-man.

    Irrelevant. The press love him.

  16. Re:So it has come to this on Hacker Says He Could Access 70,000 Healthcare.Gov Records In 4 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Each of the 7,000 who registered successfully first failed on average 9 times.

    Dict average: "A mean proportion, medial sum or quantity, made out of unequal sums or quantities; an arithmetical mean. Thus, if A loses 5 dollars, B 9, and C 16, the sum is 30, and the average 10."

    So, that 70,000 should be divided by 7000 so only 10,000 records were really accessed.

    This is something that's always bothered me, and I'm talking decades here. In which fsckin' editor are we backspacing destructively anyway, because that's not what I use in my editors (cat, vi, emacs, ...).

    However, if this is Win* specific, I don't care and that should answer the question.

    The bugginess of free software causes even more problems though.

    The bugginess of commercial software made me ecstatic to find free software, in '93. I've also watched clients choose products based on features advertised as current which didn't work until years later.

    This entire story points out only one of the massive flaws in one (or a few) commercial software package(s). You should lose your prejudice. Here's one for you: perl vs. Java.

    If they made it good they'd just get hit with an antitrust lawsuit.

    Yeah, and considering what happened last time, that'll have 'em shaking in their boots.

    "Baseline performance" and "failing miserably while lieing to customers" don't mean the same thing. Not catching zero-days is one thing. Only catching ca. 30% is worse than flipping a coin.
