    google, the company that knows you searched for "gay bars in Atlanta", "hurts when I pee", "red spots on penis" and "free vd clinic atlanta" all within the last week?

    And if you gzip that 72k file (just like apache will) you get a 24k file.

  9. Re:2,900 == 3000? on Bio-Detector Scans For 3,000 Viruses and Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Congress could.

    Whereas H.264 ("The Standard") is a standard licensed under reasonable and non-discriminatory terms which promotes the science and useful arts.... bleh bleh bleh... any patent infringement claims against H.264 must be made known within 6 months of the passage of this law.

    Apple didn't use ps/2 connectors. They used ADB for mice, keyboards, modems, joysticks, etc.

  14. Re:put my wiener in your mouth! on Best Way To Sell a Game Concept? · · Score: -1, Troll
    The slashdot front page is like an omelet. A havana omelet, that is! On saturday morning after a long and hard Friday night. There's a pool of diarrhea, some solid chunks of turd, undigested remnants of a late night snack, blood, sperm, fragments of a rubber, and an oil slick from the crisco they used to lube up your ass. And the smell, oh god, it reeks of cheap beer, rotting flesh, sperm and lube.

    I'm not sure what this has to with the slashdot front page but as long as CmdrTaco doesn't wave is gay ass in my direction, I don't really care.

  17. Re:Don't worry BP ... on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    BP had a 2009 profit of $26 billion on revenue of $246 billion. The Exxon Valdez oil spill cost exxon around $4 billion (for comparison, their profit for the year was around $5 billion). The gulf coast (and possibly the florida atlantic coast) is larger and more expensive but bankruptcy isn't an imminent danger (at least until the civil suits start kicking in).

  19. Re:What school are these programmers going to? on What Every Programmer Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    At one previous job, of about 15 programmers, I think fewer than 5 had a CS degree. At another, of 3 programmers, not one had a CS degree. There are more copy-paste programmers than ever (especially with low barriers to entry -- php, python, javascript, vb/vba, etc).

    Something like 75% of all mobile devices will support Flash.
