  1. It's only theory on Phone-Friendly Movie Theaters For Millennials Could Be Reality Soon (variety.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    "When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear 'please cut off your left arm above the elbow,'"

    Could we try demonstrating the difference to them with a practical experiment?

  2. Re:FSVO "defeating" on FBI Tried To Defeat Encryption 10 Years Ago, Files Show (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Encryption (even more in such general terms, not even mentioning which algorithm or basic representing problem) has not been and cannot be "defeated" as such.

    What would you say Alan Turing did to the huns' enigma?

  3. Re:Three words on Man Deletes His Entire Company With One Line of Bad Code (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    Fucking bullshit, unless you know:
    1) what the data is
    2) who it's about
    and last but not least
    3) where it's located.

  4. Re:Uh huh... on Burr-Feinstein Anti-Encryption Bill Is Officially Released (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Murder is legal then, because it doesn't say they're allowed to make laws saying it's illegal.

  5. Re:FF: Her favorite color? on The Future of Firefox is Chrome (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    He was trying to go to reddit, but his hosts file was wrong.

  6. Mentioned it once on World's Largest Private Coal Company Files For Bankruptcy (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The Fischer-Tropsch process is only interesting if you need liquid fuels, say for operating tanks or aircraft, and don't have more efficient sources.

    I can't see how that could occur, unless your only friend is Romania and you fail to invade The Caucasus and Persia.

  7. There's something wrong with your keyboard. When you type a question mark it's inserting a space before it.

    Or maybe you're a retard.

  8. Problem on Facebook Hires Google 'Moonshot' Exec For R&D (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    "VP of chucking shit at the wall and hoping something sticks" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue easily, does it?

  9. Consider as a college you can have 1,000 students who can pay $50,000 a year, or 5,000 that pay $10,000. Which kind of college would you want to operate?

    The second one. More students means you need more faculty and more administrators (and people to administrate the administrators, and so on).

    And the more people you're in command of the more important you are, and the more important you are the more you get paid.

    What do I win?

  10. Re:The so-called 'community standards' on The Guardian Publishes Comment Abuse Stats, Invites Debate On Moderation (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Any == too many.

  11. It's solely you who concluded that the article somehow constructs a causality.

    Liar. I said quite the opposite.

    "you can't then come out and say it's because they're women and ethnic minorities"

  12. Re:Is this a joke? on Slashdot Asks: What Are Some Insults No Developer Wants To Hear? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I think I drove past your workplace. It's the one with a unicorn paddock instead of a parking lot, right?

    In most places you'd get labelled as "not having the right skills" (somehow they expect you to learn a specific organisations idiosyncrasies before you get there) or "not a team player".

  13. I didn't say that it said there was causation. I said it implied it. You can imply things by not saying anything.

    The writer of the article probably knows that most Guardian readers graduated in underwater basket dancing and will form the required conclusion anyway.

  14. Re:The so-called 'community standards' on The Guardian Publishes Comment Abuse Stats, Invites Debate On Moderation (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Your comment was nuked because you made a baseless claim that they don't want to integrate.

    All is never correct, but significant numbers of them don't want to.

  15. They're using the same calculation engine as Amazon.

  16. That may be the case, but you can't then come out and say it's because they're women and ethnic minorities, which is what the article and the berk who submitted it are trying to imply.

  17. Couldn't Mr Burns spare a few grand?

  18. Bad code deserves explanation not insults.

    The first time? Certainly.
    The third? Arguably.
    The tenth time when it's bad for the same reason? Why are they even still there?

  19. Re:just curious on FBI Offers $25K Reward For Andy Warhol Campbell's Soup Painting Heist (networkworld.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Seconded. It's not like a Pollock where you need actual talent.

  20. Re:Can't make it any worse... on Verizon To Submit Bid For Yahoo (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Back in the dial-up days, yes. Their search was flexible & accurate. Then they did a redesign, tried to become a portal (still not sure what that is) and it went to crap.

    And into the gap stepped a little upstart called Google.

  21. We'll surrender but only if you give us a pony on G-7 Leaders At Hiroshima To Urge More Visits to Nuclear Bombsites (voanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Why was the US under any obligation to take the Japanese wishes into account?

    They started a war, behaved abominably during it, and lost it. I don't see why people are claiming they were owed anything.

  22. Re:Did they write its software using Rust? on NASA's Kepler Enters Emergency Mode 75 Million Miles From Earth (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Its code of conduct simply forbids bugs. Awesome.

  23. Re:Sexism and Racism on VR Tested by NFL To Confront Sexism and Racism (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    This is historical fact.

    In other words, it was true in the past.

  24. Re:Top 10 programs are for prepping for research on Top US Undergraduate Computer Science Programs Skip Cybersecurity Classes (darkreading.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would it make sense for them to require a cybersecurity course? That's an implementation detail.

    Well said. It's as bad as expecting an EE to know how to change a fuse.

  25. Re:There was no "Race to the Moon"... on Despite Lean Space Budgets Russia Is Headed For the Moon (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Russian reliability is based on the launcher that is almost 60 years old (first two stages of Soyuz launcher is the R7 that put the first Sputnik into orbit in 1957).

    Not blowing Russia's trumpet here - I'll leave that to guacamole(24270) - but so what? If it works, it works.
