  1. Same conclusion as Marriage on Is Social Media Making Us Hate Each Other? (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    Obviously this bloke has never been married before otherwise he'd have know this years ago :P

  2. Vanity vs Logic on Why Run Linux On Macs? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Vanity < Logic after all :)

  3. Anita Sarkeesian??? Are you fucking serious? on Slashdot Asks: The Beanies Return; Who Deserves Recognition for 2014? · · Score: 1

    I just lost a little bit of respect for the Beanies!

  4. 100% Linux on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1

    Use Mint 14 at work and Ubuntu 12.04 at home. Now that Steam is on Linux I have no need for Windows ever again :)

  5. The language that began my career on Perl Turns 25 · · Score: 1

    Happy Birthday Perl... you're the gateway that got me into programming in the first place and I always relish the opportunities I get to work with ya :)

  6. Pigs...is there anything that can't do?! on Sequenced Pig Genome Could Help Combat Human Diseases · · Score: 1

    Yet another reason to love the pig!

  7. Re:satisfied users on iOS 6 Adoption Tops 25% After Just 48 Hours · · Score: 1

    Clearly Android users are more satisfied than iOS users.

    Definitely my take on this as well!

  8. The right tool for the right job! on School Regrets Swapping Laptops For iPads · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Star Trek on "Real-life Tricorder" To Be Tested On International Space Station · · Score: 1

    In the meantime, please learn how to spell the word "people".

    Only if you read the context of the reply correctly to see that "please" is supposed to say "please" not "people" you coward of sub-par intellect

  10. Re:Star Trek on "Real-life Tricorder" To Be Tested On International Space Station · · Score: 1

    Yup, please do

  11. Star Trek on "Real-life Tricorder" To Be Tested On International Space Station · · Score: 4, Informative

    Let's face it, everything revealed within Star Trek (or most Sci-Fi for that fact) will eventually come to pass not because it's "going" to happen, but through hard work and effort from those who want to see that tech become reality.

    Either way I say, go hard ppl!

  12. Ah the irony... on Why Do Programming Languages Succeed Or Fail? · · Score: 1

    Programmers... one of the only groups of people who are supposed to embrace logic yet, are completely ruled by emotion when it comes to someone saying something bad about "their" language!

  13. Standards compliance or bust on Startup Skips IE Support, Claims $100,000 Savings · · Score: 1

    It's pretty simple, just build against the standards and let those who don't implement the standards correctly deal with it!

  14. If you play with fire... on CISPA Sponsor Says Protests Are Mere 'Turbulence' · · Score: 1

    Pollies will get burnt!

  15. The amount of... on Internet Responds To Racist Article, Gets Author Fired · · Score: 1

    AC comments on this thread is ridiculous!

  16. Cell Jamming Field on Smartphones More Dangerous Than Alcohol, When Driving · · Score: 1

    How about providing a localised jamming field within the car whilst the car is in motion. That way you can pull over and get a signal if you need to and you won't be disturbed by shit when you're driving!

  17. Re:User Experience? on Television Next In Line For Industry-Wide Shakeup? · · Score: 1

    I don't want to pay for a bunch of stuff in my actual TV that I don't actually want.

    Reminds me of the "Microsoft Tax" when buying a new PC to run Linux.

  18. Re:"Smart" TVs? on Television Next In Line For Industry-Wide Shakeup? · · Score: 1

    I agree. New advances don't necessarily mean complexity, just more choices. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes it's a bad thing.

  19. Re:Flammable? on A Paper Alloy To Replace Plastic Cases · · Score: 1

    Gives a whole new meaning to "crotch burn" doesn't it ;)

  20. Re:A second just Justice.... Please on Journalist Arrested For Tweet Deported to Saudi Arabia · · Score: 1

    20/20 hindsight ;)

  21. Re:Voice Search on Apple Launches New Legal Attack On Samsung · · Score: 1

    So Majel should have put a patent on it huh! :)

  22. Re:hmmm on Apple Launches New Legal Attack On Samsung · · Score: 1

    But what upsets me about Android and Samsung is that the phones and the platform just suck. I hate developing on it. Terrible architecture, 1990s state of the art programming language, poor performance, terrible tools.

    Well after developing for both iOS and Android I can honestly say that NEITHER have the development process down pat.

    I hated Objective-C when I started but after a while I didn't mind it. Compare that to Java well I guess you're between a rock and a hard place.

    No matter what camp you're in, you're never going to please EVERYBODY. Just accept it!

  23. Re:hmmm on Apple Launches New Legal Attack On Samsung · · Score: 1

    I agree. The idea that your hardware is going to be fantastic even 6-12 months from it's original purchase date is delusional.

    I expect that future hardware will perform better and have done so ever since buying my first 486.

    I can't imagine why people who buy Apple hardware expect anything different!

  24. Re:hmmm on Apple Launches New Legal Attack On Samsung · · Score: 1

    This definitely seems plausible.

  25. Re:hmmm on Apple Launches New Legal Attack On Samsung · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the patent examiner should be compelled to testify in IP cases where the patent is questioned.

    Now THAT'S an idea!
