  1. Re:There is one born every minute, on Malaysian Gov't Spends $600,000 On 6 Facebook Pages · · Score: 2

    I live in a house, was built in the 50's, I choose the area because it was lower cost then the area I wanted yet still offered a reasonable commute to work and nice landscape (lots of undeveloped hills and woods). I wear pants and shirts, dont know or care what the brands are. I buy the most comfortable at the best price I can find. I tend to cook my own food using "produce" (I am unaware of a name brand potato). Dont really have much of anything in my medicine cabinet other then some old prescriptions, I take what the doctor says will help.

  2. As compared to commercials? on Malaysian Gov't Spends $600,000 On 6 Facebook Pages · · Score: 2

    Facebook pages make as much sense as all those stupid Wisconsin state tourism commercials I'm inundated with. The idea behind both is that you spend money to promote tourism which generates money. Not that I'm likely to go to Malaysia due to a Facebook page, but then I dont respond to advertisement in general.

  3. Re:Aspirations on Ask Amir Taaki About Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    At a guess its "make a bunch of real money off of internet idiots and then fade into the background".

  4. Re:Bitcoin on Ask Amir Taaki About Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    Nope. Most currencies are backed by a government and not just some guy on the internet. Go on, just try printing your own Fun Bucks and try spending them. Thats more or less what happened with Bitcoin but the guy managed to get other people to buy into it.

  5. Re:Clean Coders on Book Review: The Clean Coder · · Score: 2

    I dont know... I'm not the most organized person and I often forget to do dishes. But I write clean code and copious documentation because I work on a lot of projects on a lot of platforms in a lot of languages and frankly I would have a hard time coming back to an old project for updates if I didn't because I often have no recollection as to what I wrote at three in the morning in Flex for Salesforce five months ago when I've been writing Java servlets for Lotus Domino for the past two weeks.

  6. Re:The metaphor is obvious.. on EG8 Publishes Report In Noninteractive, Nonquotable Format · · Score: 2

    Funny, I seem to be able to download the open source compiler for Flash directly from Adobe.

  7. Re:Simple solution on EG8 Publishes Report In Noninteractive, Nonquotable Format · · Score: 2

    Naw, easier to hire some guys form outside the Home Depot to transcribe the document.

  8. Re:The metaphor is obvious.. on EG8 Publishes Report In Noninteractive, Nonquotable Format · · Score: 2

    Its Flash. You know, the Devils Platform according to Apple. So no, they had nothing to do with it.

  9. Re:Sigh on White House To Announce IT-Powered Smart Grid · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We've not had wealth since the Clinton administration. Now we have debt. That being said, infrastructure is something worth borrowing money to improve. Doing so will lower long term costs and create jobs.

  10. Re:Bitcoin is imaginary on Friday's Big Swings, Mostly Down, Illustrate Bitcoin Value Volatility · · Score: 1

    US currency is backed by the treasury department of the united states of america. What is bitcoin backed by?

  11. Re:Aside from hype, Apple's real policy... on Apple Bans DUI Checkpoint Apps · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you can look at something, and tell others about its existence, it is by definition public information.

  12. Re:Dual core at 1.8 gigahertz? on Will Microsoft Release Its Own Windows 8 Tablet? · · Score: 1

    But what about if you're doing hand writing recognition and other background tasks? Dual cores sound about right.

  13. And why would I trust them to actually pay? on Malware Gangs Run Ads To Hire New Coders · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I mean, the cut in salary aside, why would I trust them to not bounce my pay check and then go "hire" someone else after taking the code I wrote? Its not like they come across as all that trustworthy and I'd be in no position to pursue legal action as I was hired to do something illegal. At least with traditional crime I can just shoot people who double cross me.

  14. Re:20% of chernobyl's radiation. on Japan Doubles Fukushima Radiation Leak Estimate · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well at Chernobyl we only got giant earth worms, nothing on the same level of the moth and lizard mutagens from the Japan incident.

  15. Re:Price controls cause shortages on Foxconn International Removed From Hang Seng Index · · Score: 1

    "The way America did."

    Where are they going to find a source of cheap labor in another country that they can charge a low 2% trade tariff against like we did?

  16. Great, there goes my weekend. on Mass Effect 3, Battlefield 3 Launch Dates Announced · · Score: 1

    Going to take at least a saturday to recover my old ME1 & ME2 save games from my old gaming system.

  17. Re:Halo 4? on Microsoft Announces Halo 4, TV For Xbox Live, Kinect Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Same thing was said about Diablo II. But then it was discovered that they like money.

  18. Re:Inconsistencies on X-Men: First Class · · Score: 1

    Best to pretend that "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" never happened. Its in the same category as the Starwars XMas special.

  19. Re:Somewhere Democrats are praying she runs on Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page · · Score: 1

    Its simple. When things are bad and its a Republican run government following a Democrat one, its the Dem's fault. If its a Democrat government following a Republican one, its the Dem's fault.

  20. Re:Here we go on Ask Slashdot: Is SHA-512 the Way To Go? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you are working on something worth stealing, then it may also be worth hitting you with a wrench till you give up the password.

  21. Re:Innovation! on Lodsys Sues 7 iPhone Devs Over Patent Infringement Claims · · Score: 0

    I was wondering when the folks who didn't even read the summary but were still going to post bashing Apple would get here. Second post, well done sir.

  22. Try buying a house. on Anatomy of a Privacy Nightmare · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Forget about crotch shot pics and twitter, try buying a house sometime. Suddenly just about everything about you is in the public records for web sites to mine and resell.

  23. Re:This just in... on New MacDefender Defeats Apple Security Update · · Score: 1

    There is also a threshold where a significant number of users are willing to type in their password whenever a pop-up dialog asks.

  24. This science thing will never catch on. on 2011 World Science Festival Begins In NYC · · Score: 1

    Just a fad really.

    Naw, its actually quite refreshing to see such events. I can only barely remember school science fairs that had any meaning, much less something on a state wide level. A nation wide science exposition sounds kick ass. Hope it inspires kids to learn something and grow up to be science nerds.

  25. Re:Persecuting your own citizens on NATO Report Threatens To 'Persecute' Anonymous · · Score: 1

    What I mean and what the spell checker produces are often at odds.
