  1. Children Aren't Clones on How Early Should Kids Learn To Code? · · Score: 1

    We need stop trying to teach children as if they all have exactly the same abilities and needs. Every child is different and every child will be ready in her own time. This goes for everything else we teach them too.

  2. White House Strategy Meeting ..... on DEA Argues Oregonians Have No Protected Privacy Interest In Prescription Records · · Score: 1

    "Just DO IT! If you are convicted of a crime I'll pardon you."

  3. why does anyone go back to Iran? on Imprisoned Physicist Honored For Refusing To Work On Iran's Nuclear Program · · Score: 1

    Why anyone would go back to Iran once they are out is a complete mystery to me.

  4. Microsoft aims at other foot, shoots twice..... on Microsoft Takes Another Stab At Tablets, Unveils Surface 2, Surface 2 Pro · · Score: 1

    ....and completely misses with both shots. Maybe they should put Vista on the Surface and see if that sells!

  5. Privacy Officer Job Description on NSA Posts Opening For "Civil Liberties & Privacy Officer" · · Score: 1

    Never show up.

  6. enthusiast computing is getting smaller on Post-post PC: Materials and Technologies That Could Revive Enthusiast Computing · · Score: 2

    arduino, raspberry pi, et. al. In fact my next desktop may be a cluster of ten or more SOCs.

  7. Online Advertising is terrible on Google May Replace Cookies With Unique AdIDs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They are always trying to sell me things I looked at but decided I didn't want, or things I already have. They seem to wait till I buy something, then try to sell me more of that. How many potato peelers do they expect me to buy?

  8. They also believe the Bible is their proof on Why Are Some Hell-Bent On Teaching Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    They believe the bible is the proof that their faith is correct. For their faith to be protected, the bible must be all true. That is why they cannot believe in evolution. If the bible isn't all true, then they feel they have no proof to back up their faith. The whole problem they face is that if you need proof of your beliefs, they you don't have any faith at all. So the Christians claiming intelligent design is the proof of their faith, it is actually proof that they have no faith at all. Faith means believing without proof. They can't seem to do that.

  9. Such breathtaking gall! on Nokia's Elop Set To Receive $25 Million Bonus After Acquisition · · Score: 1

    Microsoft uses it's influence to put it's executive in charge of Nokia. Executive does everything possible to destroy value in Nokia. Microsoft buys Nokia for a fraction of what it was worth before trojan executive. I don't see how the whole thing can be anything other than a carefully planned fraud perpetrated on Nokia shareholders.

  10. I reduced my home workforce to 0 on BlackBerry Reportedly Prepping To Slash Workforce By 40 Percent · · Score: 1

    Now the place is a pig sty, we're all starving, but we're on budge!

  11. When it happens twice it's not accidental on Another Climate-Change Retraction · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Twice means is purposeful.

  12. Terrorized with a cell phone! on Student Arrested For Using Phone App To 'Shoot' Classmates · · Score: 1

    It sounds like everyone knew the activity was harmless except the police. How can you terrorize someone with a cell phone?

  13. Worse .... on Court Declares Google Must Face Wiretap Charges For Wi-Fi Snooping · · Score: 1

    It gets worse, if your computing device remembers access points it has encountered before, under this interpretation, you're committing a crime.

  14. Pleading Not Guilty on The Reporter's Fifth Amendment Paradox · · Score: 1

    Pleading "Not Guilty" is the same as saying, "I didn't do it." Is there anything an innocent defendant needs to add? If they didn't do it, they probably don't know more than that.

  15. Best Strategy - No encryption on Ask Slashdot: Linux Security, In Light of NSA Crypto-Subverting Attacks? · · Score: 1

    No one will bother with unencrypted text as it will be assumed to have nothing interesting. If a computer scanning your text and forgetting it bothers you, hide the real text inside other boring text. Obscurity by tedium.

  16. Weather reports are useful to terrorists on UK High Court Gives OK To Investigation of Data Siezed From David Miranda · · Score: 1

    Stop these constant terror threats of broadcasting when the perfect weather for an attack will occur. It's insane!

  17. Brilliant people also get you out of trouble on Snowden Spoofed Top Officials' Identity To Mine NSA Secrets · · Score: 1

    While I did create the occasional problem, I solved so many more the occasional mistake can be overlooked.

  18. Re:Just let me get this straight on Lord Blair Calls for Laws To Stop 'Principled' Leaking of State Secrets · · Score: 5, Insightful

    you forgot Thinking: Terrorism

  19. I thought the saddest part of NY was... on Twitter-Based Study Figures Out Saddest Spots In New York City · · Score: 2

    NJ.

  20. Give just enough time to organize farewell dinner on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    My boss heard Tuesday morning that Friday would be my last day. He managed to organize lunch on Friday for 150 people from across the country. Of course that was more than twenty years ago when my medical prognosis was death within three months. Obviously that didn't happen.

  21. Re:Why are they blocking violent content? on Content Most Foul: the British Library's Nanny Filter Blocks 'Hamlet' · · Score: 1

    Because they can! They're also blocking access to Medical Marijuana information. Want information on sexing hatchling chickens? Sorry, sex is banned. Want information on the French Revolution? Sorry, insurrection is a banned subject. These tools are instituted with the goal of preventing children from seeing pornography but they end up being used to squelch anything out of the ordinary. That is how a society dies. Censorship is slowly strangling ours.

  22. We no longer live in a free society on Obama's Privacy Reform Panel Will Report To ... the NSA · · Score: 1

    It was nice while it lasted.

  23. Why do we call buggy control software smart? on Hacking Lightbulbs To Cause a Sustained Blackout · · Score: 1

    Why do we consider multiple security vulnerabilities in control software a 'smart' device? More like a stupid device designed by a fool!

  24. Wow! $6,000 US per license on Microsoft Will Squeeze Datacenters On Price of Windows Server · · Score: -1

    Plus per connected user fees as well. The same functionality on Linux would cost $0. Who is actually stupid enough to pay that much for buggy software? No wonder there was a recession.

  25. Another brain dead idea on Comcast Working On 'Helpful' Copyright Violation Pop-ups · · Score: 1

    No one is going to install this software on their computer and COMCAST can't force it on people. If they try, customers will leave. This is nothing more than further proof that the entertainment industry doesn't understand technology or the internet and, they are also complete idiots. A far more productive approach would be to bang their heads against the wall and if it doesn't work, bang some more. It will achieve just as much and won't bother anyone else.
