    You're a hoot at parties, aren't you?

  2. Ob on How Close Are We, Really, To Nuclear Fusion? · · Score: 2

    How close are we, really, to StartsWithABang growing some hair, shaving off that ridiculous beard, and getting a proper job?

  3. Re:History repeats. on Amazon Developing TV Series Based On Galaxy Quest · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there are other places they can be found, though it might take a bit of searching.

    That's all well and good, but he mentioned Logan's Run and now I can't stop thinking about Jenny Agutter's tits.

    So what's a fish taxi? It's a taxi you go to the fish shop in.

    So what are beer trousers? They're trousers you wear when you're drinking beer.

    So what's a stop cock? Your mom's face.

    Yeah, but, you know - magic.

  9. Re:Does not match TFA on A "Public Health" Approach To Internet of Things Security · · Score: 1

    The bad guys are one thing, but in reality they aren't that much of a risk because they're pretty rare. The inconsiderate, careless, drunk, incompetent and downright stupid are more dangerous simply by sheer weight of numbers.

  10. Re:Extra? on More Cities Use DNA To Catch Dog Owners Who Don't Pick Up Waste · · Score: 1

    Normal street cleaning basically involves sweeping up litter, leaves & dust with a brush (or using a mechanical equivalent of the same). If you do that with shit, you just spread (or throw) it around and you have a shitty brush afterwards.

    Better hope that's not the type of job you get when you grow up. Because you won't be very fucking good at it.

  11. Re: Optimizing for technical over people skills on Google May Try To Recruit You For a Job Based On Your Search Queries · · Score: 1

    This is their way of skimming for a few specific skill sets and obviously is not the only way to apply for a job at Google.

    Or just a way of getting stuff done for free.

    So why can't you afford a proper keyboard?

    Be fair, they read them almost 50% of the time. On a related note, almost 50% of requirements documents are worth reading.

    It's left as an exercise for the reader to determine the degree of overlap.

  14. Re: The moon is for cows. on You Can Now Be "Buried" On the Moon · · Score: 1

    That's the worst pun I've heifer seen.

    No, you sew what you rip.

  16. Re:weasel words on Research Suggests How Alien Life Could Spread Across the Galaxy · · Score: 2

    I doubt that pier review means anything near as much as it once did

    It used to mean jugglers, comedians, dancers, singers and usually a novelty act.

    P.S. ITYM "revue".

  17. Re:It can't. on Research Suggests How Alien Life Could Spread Across the Galaxy · · Score: 2

    That or they fantasise about meeting women who are just like the ones here except with pointy ears, bumpy foreheads or some other prosthetics budget friendly difference. And who have the hots for nerds.

  18. You've convinced me, but that was the easy part.

    Now try that on every HR drone in the world.

  19. Re:what is with this regular propaganda on slashdo on Standardized Tests Blamed, Asian Students Ignored In Google-Gallup K-12 CS Study · · Score: 1

    if you resist education here (because keeping people dumb has always been a winning approach) they simply import workers form [ITYM "from", you flid] elsewhere or outsource the entire division

    And they won't do that anyway because it's cheaper?

    Or the missing missing option, bring H1-Bs in.

    MUMPS is a bag of crap. Hogan and Pick, that's where it's at.

  23. Card Index on Ask Slashdot: Maintaining Continuity In Your Creative Works? · · Score: 2

    I vaguely remember seeing a behind-the-scenes thing many moons ago about a UK soap - might have been EastEnders - and it was all notebooks and card indexes.

    Oh, and the Homer thing might have been a joke. Some companies give the closest parking spaces as an incentive to the best employees. Homer was lucky he didn't have to drive away from the plant.

    While we're at it, can you provide a source that says I need a haircut?

    Preferably one that doesn't come from a barbers' association.

  25. Re:A plausible future on COBOL Comes To Visual Studio 2015 · · Score: 1

    The intention was indeed what you said. It didn't work because language schmanguage, at least half the work is debugging the spec and that requires (to say the least) a peculiar mindset.
