    Yeah, we rlly neeed a fuckng edt buttn.

  2. I think he meant "homor".

  3. Whether a standup comedian comes across as offensive or not is really simple. If it seems to an audience member that they might actually believe what they're saying about a group, then they come across as offensive. If it's clear to the audience member that they don't, then it doesn't.

    If it seems to an audience member that they might actually believe what they're saying about a group, then that audience member is either too gullible or needs to grow a fucking backbone because everyone's entitled to their opinions.

    Fixed that for you.

  4. Well I'm not interested in buying one so I've only heard about it, after seeing all these videos with what looks like functional units I thought it was already shipping.

  5. To summarize the summary [...]: people are a problem. - Douglas Adams

    Also, fuck the fucking fuckers.

  7. Re:This is a site for the technically competent? on Homemade Speed Trap Made By Former UVA CS Professor (cvilletomorrow.org) · · Score: 1

    I disagree on the "clearly" visible. For me it gets lost as visual noise, same as the icons in the title bar.

  8. Re:How to improve Slashdot on Homemade Speed Trap Made By Former UVA CS Professor (cvilletomorrow.org) · · Score: 1

    There should not be a "mobile" version to begin with. This is 2016, adaptive websites have existed for quite some time now.

    Also, putting links next to the title seems counter-intuitive. There's so many icons and other details that it just gets lost as visual noise. What's wrong with adding links to the summary text anyway? That's how the Web works.

  9. Re:End anonymity for cash on EU Proposes End of Anonymity For Bitcoin and Prepaid Card Users (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    In Canada, under the guise of anti-terrorism financing and anti-money laundering legislation, prepaid credit/debit cards must be registered to a Social Insurance Number.

    That's the first I hear about it and I've been buying pre-paid credit cards every few months for the last four years. Nobody ever asked for my social insurance number.

  10. As long as you've got 39 million new virtual idols each year...

  11. Re:No thanks on Carbon Nanotube Films Stronger Than Kevlar (acs.org) · · Score: 1

    Forget the carbon, I'll take the free diamonds.

  12. Hey, you! Get back in your pod!

  13. I prefer round watermelons (probably NSFW, unless you live in Japan)

  14. They are growing 211 years worth of lettuce per year compared to the same size of land that a traditional farmer would grow[...]

    Do you have any idea about how I could apply this technology to my pay check?

  15. Re:environmental impact on World's First Robotic Farm To Produce 11 Million Heads of Lettuce Per Year (inhabitat.com) · · Score: 1

    And the same thing about paper. Although it's starting to really shift toward paperless, the real reason is that younger generations don't care so much about paper and are already used to read on electronic displays.

    you could try your hand at rejecting all tech and living as a nomad out in a forest, but I am willing to bet you will get pretty fed up with that lifestyle right away.

    Dude, I'm annoyed just thinking about it!

    "Chaise" doesn't sound anything like "shay".

    The one thing we miss for the web is a sort of JPEG-compressed image data but with a PNG-lossless alpha channel.

    Who said anything about "libpurple"? I'm asking why Google and Microsoft don't support other protocols, compared to Apple who people keep saying are a "closed garden".

    And also use something else than the 74HC75, there has to be better options in 2016.

    Isn't there another format that would be better than TIFF? How about TGA? :p
