    but...but....it was an email, not a book.

  6. German on Ask Slashdot: 2nd Spoken/Written Language For Software Developer? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Chinese or indian are the obvious answers, but they may be a bit too much.

    I would go with German, because it is a fairly large language area (90 million + speakers) most of which belong to technologically advanced nations. As an alternative consider a latin language, such as Spanish.

  7. Soo... on Brain Cells Made From Urine · · Score: 1

    Will "pissed" mean "smart" in the future?

    Oh....and the average public toilet is apparently a smart room.

  8. Re:Fast First Post on Auto-threading Compiler Could Restore Moore's Law Gains · · Score: 3, Funny

    And the last one cleans the office and makes coffee.

  9. Frontier Elite 2 on Visualizing 100,000 Stars In Chrome · · Score: 1

    Just like playing Frontier Elite 2 again...only in a...[ehem]...enhanced edition.

  10. Well played on Ask Slashdot: What Would Your 'I've Got To Disappear' Plan Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Well played illuminati, but you won't get my plan that easily.

  11. A problem for mafia... on The Pacific Ocean Is Polluted With Coffee · · Score: 1

    ...because now they can't get anyone to sleep with the fishes.

  12. Re:Simple, surely on The Tricky Science of Olympic Gender Testing · · Score: 1

    And those who have neither or both will just have to join a circus instead, I guess.

  13. Re:Fortran is better. on What's To Love About C? · · Score: 2

    The answer is yes in all three cases....

  14. Re:How does aggregate data violate privacy? on NSA Claims It Would Violate Americans' Privacy To Say How Many of Us It Spied On · · Score: 1

    Well, if the answer is 100% then I guess it would violate privacy, because then everybody knows that you are being watched by the NSA.

  15. Re:Really? on US Gov't Wants Megaupload Users To Pay For Their Data · · Score: 1

    It has been tried http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HavenCo - alas it did not work out that well.

  16. Good luck with that on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Non-Developers To Send Meaningful Bug Reports? · · Score: 1

    You can tell them og write it to them but don't expect it to work.

    Best I can think of is to write a bug report to their bug report. So when your get a useless bug report, write back and explain what is wrong with the report and how it should have looked. Explain to them that your crystal ball is broken, so you don't know what the "it" in "it doesn't work" is. Asked them read the bug report before they send it and then stop and think if it even makes any sense....be nice but firm about what you require to fix the bug and let them know that it will make the process go much faster....but guess what...none of this will work.

    If you want to make it stop - get another job. ;-)

    For the record - no, I am not bitter (yet) but I just sent a new site into test and I am just waiting for the first useless bug report that ignores all the instructions I gave.

  17. Re:I am an american... on DHS Creating Database of Secret Watchlists · · Score: 1

    Message from the DHS: We know that....and by the way you forgot to pack your toothbrush on the last visit.

  18. Imagine the office parties on DHS Creating Database of Secret Watchlists · · Score: 1

    Just think of the office parties...they all get drunk and add names like "Ben Dover", "Dick Rasch" and "Hugh Jass".

  19. Not illegal in Denmark. on Nintendo Pulls Dead Or Alive Over Porn Fears In EU · · Score: 1

    There is no way in hell this is illegal in Denmark and I doubt that it is illegal in Sweden & Norway. In reading the article this seems more a matter of being afraid that the game or company might get the stigma of paedophilia attached to it.

    Keeping child molesters away from children = Good

    Saying that everything involving children is child molestation = Not so much.

  20. Plutonium on Testing Geiger Counters · · Score: 1

    Plutonium should be available in every corner drugstore by now....if not....talk to some Libyens....they may want to trade with some used pinball machine parts.

  21. Re:Not a barrier on Sorting Algorithm Breaks Giga-Sort Barrier, With GPUs · · Score: 1

    well, sort of.

  22. Re:It's the only logical solution. on Full Body Scanners Violate Child Porn Laws · · Score: 1
