  1. Re:$70000 is poorest? on California Is Giving Away Free Solar Panels To Its Poorest Residents · · Score: 1

    If you can't afford electricity, how are you posting this? Candlelight?

  2. Silver lining on Obama Asks Congress To Renew 'Patriot Act' Snooping · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's probably the best way to get conservatives to let go of the Patriot act...

  3. Re:"although not with bug-free results" on Google Officially Discontinues Nexus 7 Tablet · · Score: 2

    Here's a trick to getting it somewhat useable. Disable auto-rotation. Then go to the Google keyboard settings. Change the theme and in gesture typing, disable dynamic floating preview.

  4. Re:freedom on Obama: Maybe It's Time For Mandatory Voting In US · · Score: 1

    There's a snopes for that:

  5. Re:Terrible price on Apple Invests $848 Million Into Solar Farm · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's 280MW, 150MW will be sold to PG&E. Apple will be running a profit during peak hours.

  6. Facebook, Slack, Skype... on Facebook Targets Office Workers With Facebook At Work Service · · Score: 2

    Everyone keeps trying to turn the work day into one constant meeting. Good luck with that.

  7. Re:Why? on Why Apple, Google, and FB Have Their Own Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    Yep, this. It all boils down to a really smart guy who's still trying to get respect by proving how big his academic dick is.

  8. Re:10x Productivity on Do Good Programmers Need Agents? · · Score: 1

    Most programmers suck.

  9. My biggest problem with Android SD on Android 5.0 Makes SD Cards Great Again · · Score: 1

    Is that manufacturers can have multiple "external" sd cards even though only one is removable (my Moto for example).

    So when a user with one of these phones wants to get a new phone, they are practically forced to use phone mfg/service provider for transferring data to a new phone.

    The conspiracy theorist in me thinks this is all about lock-in.

    I hate all the edge case code I have to maintain to choose the correct "external" storage.

    Has this been addressed?

  10. Re:Jonathan Coulton Tweeted about getting one. on Boo! The House Majority PAC Is Watching You · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's probably because you are a conservative. As a liberal, I often get mailers pretending to be from the democratic party telling me to vote for conservative candidates and props.

    If you were a liberal in Kentucky, you might have even gotten one of these: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/d...

  11. Re:No Worries on Location of Spilled Oil From 2010 Deepwater Horizon Event Found · · Score: 1

    Drill baby drill?

  12. Re:Would sooner have a Dislike button than this on Facebook 'Safety Check' Lets Friends Know You're OK After a Major Disaster · · Score: 1

    You would think that with that low of an id, you'd have learned about drunk posting by now. Not that I'm any better, but 17K, I hold you to a higher standard.

  13. Oh man, this totally reminds me of the Spoonman Quicktime demo. Was that an act of prescience?

  14. Re:Simple on Ask Slashdot: What Old Technology Can't You Give Up? · · Score: 2

    So what you're saying is you can give up emacs, right?

  15. BattleZone ][ on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection? · · Score: 1

    FPS+RTS was awesome. Buggy launch killed it but still maintained by one of the original programmers.

  16. That's a lot of money!!! on Microsoft Is Paying Brazilian Users In Skype Credit To Switch to Bing · · Score: 1

    Wait, how many is a brazilian again?

  17. I beg to disagree on Four Weeks Without Soap Or Shampoo · · Score: 4, Funny

    I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

  18. Re:His Rage is Understandable on AT&T Hacker 'weev' Demands One Bitcoin For Each Hour He Spent In Jail · · Score: 1

    Right on. I see guys like this loose their shit all the time because they think they're programmers, but unfortunately have limits when dealing with complexity. Oh wait...

  19. Re:so on The Next Unreal Tournament: Totally Free, Developed By Public · · Score: 1

    Skins, for example.

  20. Re:Nostalgia on Introducing a Calendar System For the Information Age · · Score: 1

    Ha, me too. This is oddly reminiscent of the time cube.

  21. Re:Never understood the modes on Neovim: Rebuilding Vim For the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    Yes, this.

  22. Re:Death+Taxes on Silicon Valley Billionaire Takes Out $201 Million Life Insurance Policy · · Score: 1

    Paris Hilton would agree with you.

  23. Re:If MS wrote dart for IE instead on Google Releases Dart 1.1 · · Score: 1

    Where are these "cool and innovative" posts you speak of?

  24. Re:Yahooblr on Silicon Valley Could Be Heading For a New Stock Collapse. · · Score: 5, Informative

    You know Yahoo has positive earnings, right? It's net was more than a billion (EBITDA) last quarter.

    In July it overtook Google as the most visited US web property and remains #1 to date (comScore)?

    Desperate moves?

  25. Re:Easy fix... on Voyager 1 May Be Caught Inside an Interstellar Flux Transfer Event · · Score: 2

    Wait, did Darth Vader came down from Planet Vulcan and tell you that?
