  1. Re:My Oculus Rift says otherwise on Apple Will Ship A Pro iMac Later This Year, It Won't Feature Touchscreen (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't understand what's up with Apple's claims that an occasional swipe on the screen will immediatelly make people collapse with exhaustion.

    That's because you're a snotty little hipster brat who's too young to remember gorilla arm syndrome.

  5. Re:You forgot one... on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With a Terrible Tech Manager? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I had a boss who was technical but in a different field. The thing was, he knew what he didn't know - so he used to listen and delegate. If you wanted to make the case that it should be done this way, or that way, or not done at all he'd listen to you.

    He'd give you a damn good roasting if you got it wrong. But it was your decision, so why not?

    Right. Because killing someone is the only way of harming them.

    There is a third way: he doesn't/didn't know whether he has a plan or not.

    Technically it's not lying when you're so mentally deranged you don't know what you're saying. That might not reassure you much, given that he's the one with his finger on the big red button.

    That's good for industry but too high for a lot of academic posts. Though they could make those a different category, I suppose.

    Is there an H-1D? You could get an H-1D with your PhD!

    Fuck off, you SJW pansy. At best they'd be a patchwork of states fighting among themselves. At worst they'd be living in caves.

    No Trump voter voted for Trump based on promises of what would be done.

    60-something million people tossed coins, and they all landed asshole side up?

    Or perhaps the USA is full of time lords.

    I'm sure you can come up with something even more ludicrous - without trying and without knowing.

    they really are just like everyone else.

    I haven't heard of French parents scaling the walls of a school to help their kids cheat in exams.

    I have never encountered an atheist who has any understanding of philosophy.

    Maybe that's because Bertrand Russell died 40 years before you were born.

    I'm in the Eastern time zone; so if it is a prank, then they've gone to some trouble to load the prank version of the site selectively according to the user's location.

    They can't handle fancy quotes properly. When you return from a link it goes to the top of the page rather than the place you jumped off from.

    You think that if they tried for one crore of years they could do the needful that you're suggesting?

    the same way that I don't think any other states restrict police/drone use either.

    You're saying the police are under zero control by any elected officials?

    Then again, you probably think that's a good thing.

    Oh. Did you take any Gen Ed classes, like perhaps legendary literature or folkloric fantasy?
