  1. Re:What has the world come to... on Go, Google's New Open Source Programming Language · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's harder for people to show how smart they are by reflecting on things carefully and making posts that add to the discussion. Heck, they might even have to face the fact that they don't know enough to contribute anything meaningful. Shitposting is a good way to not face that reality, and go on about your smug day.

  2. mod parent up on "Road Trains" Ready To Roll · · Score: 1

    Not sure why this got modded down, it seems plausible to me.

  3. What hath the free market wrought? on "Road Trains" Ready To Roll · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If this catches on in America some gear heads are going to explode.

  4. Re:Some major anti-Drupal FUD going on here on Drupal Multimedia · · Score: 1

    I would use Radiant or Movable Type over the likes of Drupal and Wordpress any day. In particular, the ability to define and combine custom Radius tags makes Radiant an extremely powerful tool.

  5. Re:Some major anti-Drupal FUD going on here on Drupal Multimedia · · Score: 1

    I am a web developer and I know lots of PHP and I am able to understand intimately how Drupal operates with my infrastructure and get it to work fine for me. It is not a panacea, and as far as open source CMSes go, I think it's mediocre.

  6. Re:What's with all the Drupal hate? on Drupal Multimedia · · Score: 1

    People hate on Windows and that works pretty well too. What do you think?

  7. PHP sucks on Drupal Multimedia · · Score: 2, Funny

    Drupal is for scrubs

  8. Unimpressive on Google Releases Open Source JavaScript Tools · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Half the demos don't work and these widgets are hideous even by Google standards. I'm gonna stick with ExtJs for the forseeable future.

  9. Re:Nothing better to use $40,000 for? on Find DARPA's Balloons, Win $40K · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd say it's a bargain. Think about all the driving and snacks, hell, maybe even consumer gadget purchases this contest will inspire. Those have gotta be worth something to the economy. Maybe the next stimulus package should be a scavenger hunt.

  10. Re:One person? on Find DARPA's Balloons, Win $40K · · Score: 1

    Why would they need to manufacture an event to do that?

  11. Re:The "problem" on Nothing To Fear But Fearlessness Itself? · · Score: 1

    Go read some Augustine, Mr. Perfect.

  12. mod parent up! on Nothing To Fear But Fearlessness Itself? · · Score: 1

    His insight is apparently annoying to some people, so they need to read it again,

  13. Government Bridge on What Happened To the Bay Bridge? · · Score: 1

    A private one would have been more Ron Paul

  14. Ron Paul on EPA To Buy Small Town In Kansas · · Score: 2, Funny

    Once again an inept bureaucracy of the federal government tries to solve problems with bigger, more expensive problems. We don't need an EPA, the constitution gives us property rights. If pollution encroaches on your private property you don't need to appeal to Big Environmentalism, just take the polluter to court!

  15. Re:Prediction on Obama Looks Down Under For Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    20% troll, you dittoheads crack me up!

  16. Hint on Study Says US Needs Fewer Science Students · · Score: 1

    This is why your mom and I wanted you to study hard in school

  17. Prediction on Obama Looks Down Under For Broadband Plan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Dozens of dittoheads will pan this without even considering that it's worth talking to people who built national broadband networks so that we don't repeat their mistakes.

  18. I support this wholeheartedly on Car Glass Rules Could Impair Cell, GPS and Radio Signals In CA · · Score: 1

    Because I find the inevitable apoplectic reaction from a certain type of person, hilarious.

  19. Re:For the freedom-inclined among us... on Is Cloud Computing the Hotel California of Tech? · · Score: 1

    If you like that kind of crap you should start reading Ron Paul blogs :-)

  20. Is Yahoo! the Facebook of webmail? on Is Cloud Computing the Hotel California of Tech? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can't transfer my yahoo to my twitter, this cloud computing has gone wild.

  21. Re:Wow on Obama Makes a Push To Add Time To the School Year · · Score: 1

    Off the cuff, yes. Trolling, no. I think you may be oversimplifying my remark--I said "so many people" not "all" or even "most".

  22. Re:Wow on Obama Makes a Push To Add Time To the School Year · · Score: 1

    Every time an education-related story appears on Slashdot a certain contingent of people rush in to tell you how most people have too much of it, and that you really only need to get a particular sort and then not worry about it. Each and every one of these posts reads like a treatise on exercise written by a couch potato.

  23. Wow on Obama Makes a Push To Add Time To the School Year · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have to seriously wonder why so many people here are so passionate about not needing an education.

  24. Re:Q. What is Theora? on Theora 1.1 (Thusnelda) Is Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Did you even watch the videos at your second link? It's pretty clear to me that Theora is the better codec in that clip. Play them side by side and notice how much better the butterfly and the sky looks with Theora.

  25. Re:*sigh* on DHS Ponders "Improving" Terrorism Alert System · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the teabaggers were hating on us for electing a Kenyan-born muslim stalinist. We've just been trying to give them access to education and health care (who needs that?).

    Also, it's "15 minutes of fame" and "two-minutes' hate".
