I've uninstalled Facebook and Messenger, and now my phone runs like it's brand new.
I'd no more trust Facebook and Messenger on my phone than I'd trust an unattended pedophile at a daycare. (And not having a Facebook account kind of seals the deal for me, no reason at all to have it on my phone.)
"I am excited to be leading future strategy for two of the most iconic technology sites on the web.

TRANSLATION: "Suck it, n00bs. We'll rape slashdot, suck it dry, and then dump it as fast as we can to an even shadier company."
And you thought Dice was bad....you ain't seen nothin' yet.
So yeah, it's high time for an alternative to slashdot to emerge, and leave this empty husk behind.
Donald Trump himself doesn't like Shkreli, and these two are perfect fits for each other.
1) That rapper dude must be really worried now, I mean being threatened by a pasty-faced douche like Martin Shkrelli ust put tha' fear o' gawd into ya, no?
2) If you're someone that even a scumbag like Donald Trump hates, that's resume material right there. "I'm such a shitbag that even the King Shitbag hates me!" That kind of accolade is hard to come by.
I just love these jackass geocentrists, so smug and self-assured, convinced that they and they alone know "the truth" while every scientist in the world is wrong.
This clown couldn't tell a Bunsen burner from a baseball bat, but somehow he's managed to suss it all out...uncover the hidden truth...and with a single stroke of his drippy dick, negate centuries of careful scientific research.
Never mind the fact that all modern physics contradicts him, and that time zones alone bring his "theory" into abject failure, if some cheeseball rapper with gold teeth and a backwards baseball cap says it, it MUST be true!
Maybe for very small values of "fine", but overall it's just utter bullshit. We INVENTED most of the technologies and jobs that H1-B applicants are coming to this country for. How can we not have people that can do those jobs?
Again, I ask you: in a country of 300 million people, are you really telling me that there is simply no one in the entire USA who would be able to do the work they're coming to do? BULL. SHIT.
Microsoft hires as many H1-B workers as it can, and 99.9% of them do ordinary shit like coding or systems administration. Don't try and tell me that this country isn't full of people that could do those jobs, we both know it's simply not true.
In some niche fields like biomedical research or material science, yes, there may be a legitimate need to bring in someone from abroad who has that rare skill set or knowledge. But that's not what they're doing.
Seriously, go to Apple or Amazon or Microsoft or any large tech company and look at eh buildings full of (mostly) Indian programmers or low-level system jockeys. There's no fucking way that you couldn't find plenty of American workers capable of doing those jobs as well or better as the H1-B workers. They just won't do it for peanuts, and that's what this is all about.
The whole thing is a joke...are you really telling me that out of 300 million Americans, you can't find ANYONE in this country who is qualified to do this work? Bullshit. Utter bullshit.
Unless by "qualified" you mean "willing to work at 1/2 scale wages".
The whole thing is a joke, a complete fucking joke.
Oh I can't wait to hear how Time-Warner will claim that this "stifles their business" or that it's an "unfair competitor" or or "will promote child porn" some other such silly horseshit. Whatever it is you can bet the Time-Warner lawyers are working overtime thinking up ways to shut it down. Mark my fuckin' words.
C has been around for over 40 years. C++ has been around for over 30 years. In all that time we haven't seen even one single other language seriously compete with either of them.
Oh c'mon, what about Javascript? Wait, why are you laughing??
Slashdot Mirror
How about "wee"?
The preferred unit form measuring microdimensionality is "itty-bitty".
Same age group they've always targeted. We just got aged out of it.
Yep. Mod parent "Insightful".
I get older, but High School girls are still the same age....that does not seem fair. :(
A shocking amount of apps are just wrappers around the same content as the web page, and just wanted to collect my data and serve up ads
Holy shit, SAY IT ISN'T SO!! ;)

Slashdot needs to allow commenters to use emoji and live video, also.
Yesssssssssssss...that will undoubtedly raise the quality of the discourse here. Absolutely. *cough*
You and I may not value the service but they're wildly good at what they do.
So is malaria.
Ooooh, apply cold water to burned area, lol. :)
Socipath much?
Not much, maybe a little around the edges, if you know what I mean and I think you do.
"The 'Like' function will now include emojis for Love, Sad, Angry, Happy and Wow."
Those are the sort of things pre-school kids care about.
Yeah, I see this as expanding the number of ways people will now have to get offended at some trivial shit and start facebook fights. Yay.
(If only I had a facebook account, this would be relevant to me. Oh well.)
If I had a Facebook account I'm sure I'd be jumping for joy at all the new shiny junk they just added. But I don't, so eh.
For those of you that do love you some Facebook, congratulations on the new goodies.
No more "APK" posts, ban that spam-laden prick and put in a filter to stop him from polluting this site like he's done for the last several years.

Title should be, "Dueling Douchebags".
Sorry, is this "news for nerds" or "stuff that matters"? How so?
Q: "What did you know and when did you know it?"
A: We didn't know nothin' then, we don't know nothin' now, and we won't know nothin' next week either."
"Thank you, this meeting is adjourned."
B.o.B. stands for "Brainless, obtuse bonehead".

The theory of H-1B is fine

Do you understand what you're talking about?

Donald Trump, is that you? Or is that you channeling Ted Cruz??
....incoming Time-Warner lawsuit in 3...2...1...

Once you start using an IDE forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will.
There is more truth in this than most people would be comfortable admitting.
It got so big, it couldn't help but fail. Sadly this is seen in many large groups, commercial and non-commercial.
I'm not laughing. I'm pointing at the exit. You can toss your geek card into the /dev/null provided next to it.
Dude, relax. It was something called a "joke", look it up. :)

>Internet humor is defined as tragedy that ends with the words "and then I lost my bitcoins".
They hacked my Nest thermostat, and then I lost my bitcoins.
They hacked my web-enabled refrigerator, and then I lost my bitcoins.
They hacked my television, and then I lost my bitcoins.
Sing along, now.....something something something, "and then I lost my bitcoins."
