  1. Re:No on Is Sexual Harassment Part of Hacker Culture? · · Score: 1

    Sexual harassment is not immature. Making fart jokes is immature. Grabbing a woman's crotch without her permission is criminal.

  2. Re:idiot on James Powderly of Graffiti Research Labs Detained In China · · Score: 1

    Exactly! I mean... trying to promote human rights? What an asshole...

  3. Re:Ban? on How To Beat Congress's Ban Of Humans On Mars · · Score: 1

    From the recent YouTube Republican debate, after someone asking about mars exploration and one of the candidates saying something to the effect of, "Yes, of course, we'll give tons of money to your special cause.":

    Tancredo: The question is a serious one and it deserves a serious answer, and that is this: Look, we've been -- how many times up here, how many questions have dealt with the issue of deficit spending, the debt out of control? And yet, we have somebody saying, "But would you spend more money on going to Mars?" And the suggestion that we need to spend more money on space exploration. This is it, folks. That's why we have such incredible problems with our debt, because everybody's trying to be everything to all people. We can't afford some things, and by the way, going to Mars is one of them.

  4. Feedreader on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    I tried several RSS aggregators (RSS Bandit, SharpReader) and they were all slow and dificult to work with, but FeedReader is great.

  5. Quietly? on MySQL Changes License To Avoid GPLv3 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "MySQL has quietly changed the license it uses... VP of community relations, revealed the license change on his blog..."

    How does the VP of community relations announcing it on his blog qualify as 'quietly changing'? What do you want them to do, throw a bloody parade? Not everything is a secret plot to destroy OSS.

  6. ...or, you could do something simple and effective on How to Prevent Form Spam Without Captchas · · Score: 1

    and install Akismet

  7. Censoring American television and radio. on Lone Activist Group Submits 99.8% of FCC Complaints · · Score: 1

    "It means that really a tiny minority with a very focused political agenda is trying to censor American television and radio."

    Apparently, they're not doing a very good job.

  8. Re:The Microsoft Damage. on New Documents Shed Light on Microsoft's Tactics · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Good, cheap, fast: pick any two on Solving a Wiring Mess? · · Score: 1

    You missed the joke. He wasn't fired for not obeying a dangerous order from his boss, he was fired for some vuage "unrelated" reason.

  10. Re:Good, cheap, fast: pick any two on Solving a Wiring Mess? · · Score: 1

    The worker can then be fired for "not being a team player" or "posessing an uncooperative attitude."

  11. Re:What if we just don't like stupidity? on The Introvert Advantage · · Score: 1

    No, it doesn't make you an introvert. Just arrogant.

  12. Re:Don't forget Eastern Religion on The Gospel According to Neo · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, the CS Monitor is pretty much a secular magazine. They only publish one religion-related story a day, the rest is US/Internation news. Most Christians don't even take the "Christian Science" denomination seriously. And, despite your paranoia, there are several Buddhist publications out there.

  13. Milkshake on Handshake via the Internet · · Score: 1

    At first I thought this said "Milkshake via the Internet." That would have been a lot cooler.

  14. Re:I solved my resume woes on Resume Tips For Jobs · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You might want to read this first.

  15. Re:I guess this proves it on iVillage Renounces Pop-up Advertising · · Score: 0

    No, they just engage in touchy-feely crap like "surveys" and "feedback."

  16. Re:Actually, we should at least standardize... on Isn't it Time for Metric Time? · · Score: 0
    "Therefore, the time now is 2002 07 04 23:04. That still makes a lot of sense to me, compared with 7/4/02. It always confuses me - which is the month, and which is the day?"

    And, somehow, we're the stupid ones?
