  1. Ben Affleck? on Interviews: Ask Jennifer Granick What You Will · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    First off, I loved your work in Alias. I hope it makes it to the big screen someday. Anywho, I understand you're married to Ben Affleck. Now, I assume he's homosexual and you're just his beard but wikipedia says you have three kids. Is Matt Damon the father? I mean, allgedly Affleck and Damon wrote Good Will Hunting together but we know it was really Matt (while Ben smoked up and ate cheetos). So I figure he probably fathered your kids and that asshole Affleck is once again taking credit he doesn't deserve.

  4. Disruption! on Interviews: Ask Travis Kalanick About Startups and Uber · · Score: 2

    As far as I can tell, "disruption" means "ignore laws and regulations". So, how do you know which laws and regulations are ok to ignore?

  5. Short term: No. Long term: yes on Should Tesla Make Batteries Instead of Electric Cars? · · Score: 1

    Here's the thing... Tesla doesn't sell cars, they sell California ZEV credits to other car companies. (Kind of like how GM wasn't a car company, they were a health care company for retired auto workers that made money by flipping auto loans and sometimes made cars). If the ZEV credits dry up (changes in the law or other companies producing a popular ZEV vehicle), they're fucked and will need to find another line of business, ie manufacture batteries and operate charging stations.

    WideGlide? Sounds like goatse lube. Whoever approved that name really fucked up.

  7. node.js + mongodb! on Ask Slashdot: Easy-To-Use Alternative To MS Access For a Charity's Database? · · Score: 5, Funny

    use node.js -- it's javascript so you don't need to know any computer science bullshit to use it. But it's also twice as fast as C since it never blocks. Mongodb is also good because you don't need to understand databases or make sure your numbers are really numbers or your dates are valid or any of that bullshit DBA crap like consistency or transaction. That makes it faster than SQL.

  9. Re:Average price of new car = $31,252 on Future of Cars: Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Or Electric? · · Score: 1

    "The average American doesn't even spent $30,000 on a car". Discuss.

  10. Re:Average price of new car = $31,252 on Future of Cars: Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Or Electric? · · Score: 1

    The average used car sells for $9-10k (Maryland statistics for 2014; the new price matches your numbers). There are twice as many used car sales as new car sales.

  11. Re:oh noes on WebKit Unifies JavaScript Compilation With LLVM Optimizer · · Score: 1

    gcc is still useful for fortran, ada, and cobol. It also has more backend support for older architectures. That's probably their biggest advantage but at the same time, nobody wants to support them so they get removed over time (and anybody who wanted to support them would probably be better off working with llvm). Some of the BSDs stick with gcc 2.9 (current version is 4.9) for certain architectures.

  13. Re:if you want your day in court on Plaintiff In Tech Hiring Suit Asks Judge To Reject Settlement · · Score: 1

    There was one person (hr/recruiter at google) fired for soliciting an Apple employee, with an email chain to prove it. I'd say s/he's got a pretty strong case but everyone else has a pretty weak case. They got less job offer spam in their inbox and want to get paid for it?

  14. Don't use DNS on Crowdsourcing Confirms: Websites Inaccessible on Comcast · · Score: 1, Funny

    Especially Comcast DNS. But Don't use DNS at all. The fact is you can skip DNS and use a /etc/hosts file. This isn't 1982 anymore, disks are huge and it only takes a couple hundred megabytes to host it. With a cron job to rsync it every hour you no longer need to worry about manually updating it either. (It's simple enough to pass the grandmother test!) For those rare cases where a name isn't in my hosts file, I just request the page using an email-to-web service.

  15. Re:Serious question. on Interviews: ESR Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    No, he has a wife. Thing is, they're into the swinger scene, so she fucks other guys and, well, so does he. Seriously I don't know or particularly care if he's gay, bi, curious, whatever. He claims to get a lot of pussy (due to being a linux celebrity and an alpha male).

  16. Re:Stills seems like it has to be an inside job on Hackers Allege Mt. Gox Still Controls "Stolen" Bitcoins · · Score: 1

    uhh, actually it does. The "startup" definition varies but it generally boils down to not having a viable business plan. It means throwing feces against the wall and hoping it looks like art. Why would a competent programmer work for a high risk company without a viable business plan?

    Yeah, I'm pulling a No True Startup and saying if they have competent programmers, they're not a startup.

    If you've ever seen Pulp Fiction, visited San Francisco, or been to a LUG or LinuxCon, you've probably seen a leather-clad gay sex slave, aka gimp.

  18. What will it take? on Interview: Ask Theo de Raadt What You Will · · Score: 1

    It seems like every time you turn around, another bitcoin exchange is hacked or some startup social network for dogs is secretly uploading all your phone contacts over clear text or a retailer is storing unencrypted cc numbers and passwords. Some of the worst offenders are brogrammers. Is there anything we can do?

  19. I'm confused... on Steve Ballmer Blew Up At the Microsoft Board Before Retiring · · Score: 2, Funny

    So Microsoft avoids buying a failed phone co and Balmmer rage quits. What's the downside? It's like killing two turds with one flush!

  20. Re:Get some popcorn on MtGox Files For Bankruptcy Protection · · Score: 1

    How do you think courts restructure debts when a grain elevator goes bankrupt? There is literally nothing new here. This is shit that Hammurabi figured out.

  21. Re:But ... FREEDOM! on WV Senator Calls For Ban On All Unregulated Cryptocurrencies · · Score: 1

    Now that MtGox is dead, Coinbase will assume their mantle. Not as the pre-eminent exchange, but as the most fucked up exchange. They'll gladly lock up your money, cancel trades weeks after the fact, and make trades at prices you didn't agree to. I expect regulators will shut them down at some point this year (criminal charges are also possible) -- I hope your money isn't anywhere near them when it happens.

  23. begging the question! on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Trust Bitcoin? · · Score: 1

    Do you still trust bitcoin? Do you still beat your wife? Bitcoin is just like 7 Up. Never had it, never will. I prefer the Real Thing.

  24. Re:Why? on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    #fuckbeta What they need are some macro buttons for posts. I mean, 50-75% of comments are unoriginal garbage, so why not have buttons to autopost "hot grits", "micro$soft $sucks", "netcraft confirms it", "/etc/hosts troll", etc posts. Fuck it, I'll create a greasemonkey extension if they don't.

    Also, there's a problem with one of their css rules that causes weird font issues in some posts ("font: Helvetica, san serif" is missing the comma so it can't find the "Helvetica san serif" font and drops back to the default serif font. d'oh)
