  1. Do you feel like a worthless piece of shit? on Ask Personal Audio's James Logan About Patents, Playlists, and Podcasts · · Score: 1

    Well, do you?

  2. Re:Really going on? Let me spell it out for you... on Inside PRISM: Why the Government Hates Encryption · · Score: 1

    That one about quartering troops?

  3. Re:More regulation = less choices on Amazon Delivering Groceries? It's Coming, Thanks To Sales-Tax Politics · · Score: 1

    Companies don't pay sales tax.

  4. Re:I would ahve got a frosty on Facebook Silently Removes Ability To Download Your Posts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    good point. Where is the link on slashdot to download all my comments?

  5. Re:Time for an amendment for FOIA on Labor Dept. Wanted $1M For E-mail Addresses of Political Appointees · · Score: 2

    They were violating their own regulation by charging a news organization. What good is another law if they'll just ignore it? That's the problem with laws limiting the government -- the government enforces them (ha) and there usually isn't a penalty for violating them. At that point, it's not a law it's a suggestion.

  6. Re:Hate group on In France, a Showcase of What Can Go Wrong With Online Voting · · Score: 1

    Jacques Chirac is a convicted criminal.

  7. Re:Five minutes after Monsanto Protection Act sign on GMO Wheat Found Growing Wild In Oregon, Japan Suspends Import From U.S. · · Score: 1

    DNA is the marker.

  8. Re:Summary on Motorola Building "Self-Aware" Smartphone · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Still useful for the slashdot crowd. Specifically, when you have to take a massive cheetoh shit.

  9. Re:Shocked, shocked! on Pitcher-Turned-Law Student On Cheating In Baseball · · Score: 1

    You think that's disgusting? There are other body fluids that are also used, if you get my drift. Back in high school, our pitcher hit a batter with a cum ball. (The batter mad some comments about his girlfriend).

  10. meh on Gene Therapy May Protect Against Flu · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    let me know when gene therapy lets me shoot bees out of my arms.

  11. On the other hand... on Moore's Law Fails At NAND Flash Node · · Score: 1

    It's equally valid to say SanDisk failed (umm, violated) Moore's law.

  12. Re:Holder-Felt-Remorse-over-FNC-James-Rosen-Subpoe on BSA Study Demonstrates Open Source's Economic Advantage · · Score: 1

    He didn't seem to care when the first judge denied his warrant. Or the second judge. It takes three judges to approve the warrant, they're breaking department guidelines, but he only feels remorse 4 years later when the truth slowly trickles out.

  13. Re:Preserve Cultural Heritage on Star Wars Episode 4 To Be Dubbed In Navajo · · Score: 1

    LASER is an acronym from 1955. Robot is from 1921 or so but the concept (humanoid automata) isn't new. Much of star wars could be recreated on Leonardo da Vinci's ideas (flying machines, tanks, humanoid robots).

  14. Re:Is it evolution, or survival of the fittest? on Cockroaches Evolving To Avoid Roach Motels · · Score: 1

    Darwin didn't use the word "evolution" because that name was associated with a different theory at the time. (Life was like a russian nesting doll, with all the children, grandchildren, etc already pre-fabricated).

  15. Re:So? on Google Code Deprecates Download Service For Project Hosting · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's like Barack Obama says - "you didn't build that". Providing pre-compiled software is dangerous since it teaches people that FREE Software and Open Source are about price. I don't provide pre-compiled binaries or documentation for my code. I also intentionally leave in some easy to fix bugs. My users need to edit and compile the source code to run it. My users need to read the source code to understand the cryptic error messages. That's the only way they'll truly appreciate Open Source software.

  16. Re:So, "Don't Be Evil..." on Google Code Deprecates Download Service For Project Hosting · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're pushing google drive for downloads. That makes sense on a couple levels -- forced encouragement of google drive and removing redundant functionality -- but this is google so you have to wonder what's next. So... what is next? Will you need to login with google+ to download? Maybe click a few adds before your download begins? Auto download Chrome for you, just in case?

  17. Re:Congratulations! on Tesla Motors Repays $465M Government Loan 9 Years Early · · Score: -1, Troll

    It helps if you're a minority like Elon Musk (African-American).

  18. Re:Dart has some important fans on Dart Is Not the Language You Think It Is · · Score: 1

    It's actually Google Fart. Another casualty of autocorrect.

  19. Re:Understanding Dart's goals on Dart Is Not the Language You Think It Is · · Score: 1

    The Dart source code is BSD licensed, available on Google Code (hmm... I wonder when Google Code will get shut down...)

    One of the contention points in the WebKit/Blink split was support for non-JS languages. Chrome (and Opera, Google's bitch) will, I suppose, support it, but Firefox, Safari and IE? Then again, IE used to support VBScript and PerlScript back in the day, so maybe Google could do an IE/Dart plugin.

  20. Re:Welcome to the chopping block on Dart Is Not the Language You Think It Is · · Score: 2

    Being killed off is better than the alternative -- forced integration with google+. Will they require you to login to google+ to run the javascript transpiler? Will they auto-post your error log to your google+ page? Will they remove the "+" operator (like they did with search)? Who knows!

  21. Re:How about cutting Notes? on Goodbye, Lotus 1-2-3 · · Score: 5, Funny

    PINE Is Not EMACS.

  22. Re:All projects need your help. on Open Source Projects For Beginners · · Score: 3, Informative

    Strange conclusion. BeOS and NeXT both had professional UX experts but weren't successful on the desktop. Android was in the right place at the right time with the right price.

  23. Re:Skeptical fungus is skeptical... on Yahoo Pinkie-Swears It Won't Ruin Tumblr · · Score: 0

    Didn't you say the same thing when Google bought YouTube ($1.65 billion, no revenue)?
