  1. "Web development can be fun again" on Mojolicious 2.0: Modern Perl For the Web · · Score: 1

    Web development is already "fun" with the likes of Django, Rails (not a favourite of mine but I see the appeal) and my personal favourite: Pylons/Pyramid.

    I don't really get the desire to use Perl. I haven't touched Perl for a long time and can't think of any jobs where it would be the best tool. It's ugly.

    Sure, it's still better than PHP but then, what isn't?

  2. Re:Don't Ban the whole US on UAE Police Claim BlackBerry Outage Made Roads Safer · · Score: 1

    False sense of security. There may be less obstacles on the road but a deer is far less likely to run out in front of the car in a big city.

  3. Re:Microsoft on Windows 8 Won't Support Plug-Ins; the End of Flash? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just because it's Situation Normal, doesn't mean it's not All Fucked Up.

  4. Re:Great Idea on Judge Wants Ellison, Page To Settle Differences · · Score: 1

    Or one (or both) of them is dead...

  5. If this was an email... on 7 Days In Email Hell · · Score: 4, Funny

    If this was an email, I'd instinctively delete it.

  6. Re:And more importantly... on One Week: No Mouse, Just Keyboard · · Score: 1

    You may think it's Microsoft's fault. but I guarantee you that it's just because you're brain-dead.

  7. Re:Criminal Charges? on Note To Cheaters: Next Time Hire the Brains · · Score: -1, Troll

    Your simplistic world view betrays your ignorance and lack of intelligence.

  8. Re:New scale on Just In: Yellowstone Is Big(ger) · · Score: 1

    Stillbirth?

  9. Re:Or.. on Your Face Will Soon Be In Facebook Ads · · Score: 1

    Doesn't work with Facebook. =(

  10. Re:This a re-org for the foreign offices only on Stars Remain In Their Usual Places; People Panic · · Score: 1

    I could care less. For instance, if you keep pontificating, I will care less.

  11. Re:Enjoy it now on 10/10/10 — a Nice Day To Celebrate the Meaning of Life · · Score: 1

    12/13/14?

    Fucking Americans.

  12. Re:Why not boycott PS3s on PS3 Hacked Using Official Controller · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Worst. Analogy. Ever.

    People should just stick to cars.

  13. Re:I'll save you the time.... on What Happens to Australia's E-Waste · · Score: 1

    I'm not fucking iPads!

  14. Umm... on Letting Customers Decide Pricing On Game DLC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It'll catch on just as much as Radiohead's experiment caught on.

    You're the idiot.

  16. Re:So that's why the UW mail system went down on New Email Worm Squirming Through Windows Users' Inboxes · · Score: 1

    This worm isn't Outlook's fault, it has a link to a website, that's it. It's all on the user.

  17. Re:So that's why the UW mail system went down on New Email Worm Squirming Through Windows Users' Inboxes · · Score: 1

    Great. So what would you replace it with? Because until thunderbird can at the very least do tables, handle signatures and signature creation elegantly, handle inserted images elegantly, (decent) groupware calendaring without a third party extension, plus a host of other minor and not so minor annoyances, it is not ready for the enterprise.

    Unfortunately, Outlook is the best email client out there. There are no contenders.

  18. Re:Fight to win, sue for peace when you can't on Microsoft Claims 'We Love Open Source' · · Score: 1

    Servers, dumbass. Do you realise how much money Microsoft makes from server licences?

  19. Re:*Smack Face* on Facebook Bug Could Give Spammers Names, Photos · · Score: 0, Troll

    The photo is location? What?

    Seriously, learn when to use apostrophes.

  20. What? on Building the Zero-Fatality Car · · Score: 5, Funny

    I need a car metaphor.

  21. Re:Remember kids... on BBC Web Slip-Up Insults Facebook Fans · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I direct clients to the "about lorem ipsum" website and a quarter of them are genuinely interested. Then they feel "in the loop" of "the biz."

  22. Re:Umm... actually... on Halo Elite Cosplay Puts Others To Shame · · Score: 1

    And by Quake* spinoffs I mean games like Urban Terror. Quake Mod -> Game

  23. Re:Umm... actually... on Halo Elite Cosplay Puts Others To Shame · · Score: 1

    I don't know why people are talking about realistic weapon loading being original. It's not original at all. Plenty of games and Quake* spinoffs have gone with that paradigm. Think every single Rainbow Six game.

    It's not original. It should be more commonplace as it increases the immersion.

    What I'm waiting for is when GTA has realistic weapon loading, and where you have to stash the AK in the car otherwise police will show up. That'd be neat. I want more immersion in my murder simulators, goddamnit.

  24. Re:Strewth on Australia Gets Its First Female Prime Minister · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_English#Spelling

    Whilst "honour" may be the generally preferred spelling it is not any more correct as per Australian English.

    Thanks.

  25. Re:Strewth on Australia Gets Its First Female Prime Minister · · Score: 1

    Actually, Australians can spell it both ways. Because we use the Oxford English which allows for both 'honor' and 'honour.'

    Cheers.
