  1. Re:Trying to figure out how this works... on Uber's Rise In China May Be Counterfeit · · Score: 2

    Uber effectively pays this much: $5 - 2.80 = $2.20. So driver and accomplice make $2.20/2 = $1.10 each.

    FTFY

    Math is hard. Let's drive cars!

  2. I see something on NASA Releases Massive Climate Change Data Set · · Score: 2, Funny

    There.s a 0.1 degree difference in the maximum temperature in Fargo for today.

    Clearly, all of science must be wrong and I can pretty much make up anything I like and claim it is reality.

    Winning!

  3. What should we expect when 2003 support ends? on Ask Slashdot: Should We Expect Attacks When Windows 2003 Support Ends? · · Score: 1

    That's an easy one. It's all in the EULA, after all.

  4. Re:After reading the first dozen questions... on Interviews: Ask Kim Dotcom a Question · · Score: 2

    After reading the first dozen questions, how many million years would you say it would be before you ever agree to answer questions from slashdot posters again?

    I predict it will be some time after Anita Sarkeesian and Brianna Wu agree to an "Ask Slashdot".

  5. Re:"Get as many credit cards as you can..." on Writer: "Why I Defaulted On My Student Loans" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How is that brilliant? Its advocating theft, which the rest of the (honest) credit card users have to pay for? The guy is a fucking thief.....

    That's an astute analysis. Now, apply the same logic to the people he borrowed the money from in the first place, who specialize in making sub-prime loans to borrowers who will likely never be able to repay them, and then selling the loans off in exchange for a briefcase full of cash before flying to the Dominican Republic.

    And then you can ask yourself who took the money that he borrowed, and what happened to it then.

    How many thieves can you count in this story?

  6. Re:Fear of guns on Stormtrooper Arrested · · Score: 2

    We just need [to] LOVE guns more.

    But not in public, and certainly not on school grounds. That will definitely get you arrested.

  7. That's the easy question on Why Americans Loathe Cable Companies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The more interesting question is "Why do American cable companies loathe Americans?"

  8. Re:Umm on MediaGoblin 0.8.0 "A Gallery of Fine Creatures" Released · · Score: 1

    Dafuq does the summary actually say?

    I think it's a transcript of a D&D game.

    Then where are the Cheetos?

  9. Re:Noncompetes in 3. 2. 1... on Carnegie Mellon Struggles After Uber Poaches Top Robotics Researchers · · Score: 2

    You attract more flies with honey instead of vinegar.

    But you can keep the flies the longest with fly paper. That doesn't necessarily make it any better for you or the flies.

  10. Re:Pay them market value on Carnegie Mellon Struggles After Uber Poaches Top Robotics Researchers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

    Those who can't understand, complain about teachers.

    If only you could LEASE a LINE... (hint hint)

    ...to a battlefield.

    I feel like I need to take a shower after just typing that load of horse manure...

    It's HORSE MANURE. And yes, all those caps are necessary - HORSE MANURE is a backronym, though I don't remember what it means

  13. Re:Seems obvious now on Secret Files Reveal UK Police Feared That Trekkies Could Turn On Society · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, I read TFS as a big giant "holy cow are police forces actually this damned stupid?"

    How can these idiots take themselves seriously when they have such monumentally idiotic ideas? And why should they expect us to take them seriously?

    You're talking about someone who managed to make it his paid, full-time job to write X-File fanfic and hang out at Star Trek conventions, most likely putting everything on a government expense account. The word you're looking for isn't "stupid", it's "brilliant".

  14. Re:North Pole on The Brainteaser Elon Musk Asks New SpaceX Engineers · · Score: 1

    What is the circumference of a circle with radius r? It is (Pi * r^2), of course.. So a circle with radius of 1 mile would have a circumference of (Pi * 1 * 1).

    I'm just going to skip the bit about you calling someone else braindead and asking them to turn in their geek card for displaying poor math skills and leave this bit here while we move on to the bonus round.

    In your own words, what is the relationship between the radius and circumference of a circle? Please be precise, as your geek card is at stake here.

    I don't know. Why don't you ask TekSavvy?

    They have a similar name. Perhaps they have a similar policy.

    And then the Intern goes to Ask Slashdot, and we start the whole thing over.

    I'm not even going to start answering that, but I am curious about one thing.

    Which major corporation are you the CIO for? Please be honest, as I stand to win $20 here.

    Don't worry folks. I always carry around a copy of "Atlas Shrugged" for hitting people like this on the head at times like these.

    Not only are they becoming more super, their super power seems to be "invisibility"

  22. Easy question on Microsoft To Teachers: Using Pens and Paper Not Fair To Students · · Score: 1

    "When was the last time you used a piece of chalk to express yourself?"

    That would be this morning. Any other questions?

    “Why do you expect a kid to go to school and sit in the same seat everyday with pens and paper?”

    Um, because they use pens and paper at home too. Any more?

    “So classroom—what classroom? Learning is anytime, anywhere. Kids are learning everywhere. As long as they have that device and they have that connectivity to the cloud, they can do their work anywhere. So that’s why the tools become so important.”

    That's funny. When "the tools" are a pen and paper, the tools aren't so important and learning can actually be any time, any where. It's when you try to artificially tie the act of thinking to having a Microsoft(tm) Device(tm) connected to the Cloud(tm) that you lose the ability to "do work anywhere".

    This is my lawn. You may get off of it now. You are dismissed.
