  1. Re: too bad on Venezuelan President Survives Drone Assassination Attempt (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    At that point the Chavistas would probably flee the country with suitcases filled with gold and US currency.

    Despicable behaviour! Respectable ousted dictators of the Chicago school would never stoop to things like that.

    They'd have already wired it to Switzerland like Friedman taught them.

  2. Re:Heh on Do Businesses Really Need to Hire CS Majors? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    itwbennet is Bennet Haselton, second only to theodp and MojoKid for posting retarded shit to slashdot.

    Wait ... third only to theodp, MojoKid and that blue hipster fucktard who used to post the Forbes malware links.

    I'll come in again.

  3. There should be a variant on Betteridge's law on Do Businesses Really Need to Hire CS Majors? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    There should be a variant on Betteridge's law where the question is so vague it barely achieves the level of retarded and thus, despite what your third grade teacher said, it's perfectly proper to reply with another question.

    So perhaps it depends on the nature of - you know, like the shit and stuff - that the business kinda like sorta does?

    There's one born every minute.

  5. Is it not possible to regard them poorly because they're dishonest, sneaky, obsequious nincompoops?

    Or physician envy.

  7. Re:100% complainer on 'The Problem With Programming and How To Fix It' (alarmingdevelopment.org) · · Score: 1

    Rewriting ancient legacy systems is trivially easy. You just have to leave out all the accumulated business rules.

  8. Re:Surgery for everyone! on 'The Problem With Programming and How To Fix It' (alarmingdevelopment.org) · · Score: 1

    You can remove warts with a scalpel. So that's surgery, then.

    P.S. What's the German definition got to do with you? You clearly aren't one, or you'd have written it properly like I did.

  9. Re:Idiocracy on 'The Problem With Programming and How To Fix It' (alarmingdevelopment.org) · · Score: 1

    Effective programming skills can be taught and learned just like Jazz can.

    Jazz is pretty difficult. You have to know everything about music theory so you don't accidentally obey any of it.

    DrrrTISH.

  10. Re:Idiocracy on 'The Problem With Programming and How To Fix It' (alarmingdevelopment.org) · · Score: 1

    ... by tomorrow morning.

  11. Is it webscale? Can it write to /dev/null for extra performance?

  12. Obviously not, as Caesar pointed out on Can We Decentralize the Web? (computing.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    No. Because then you would have two (or more) webs.

    You missed the most important difference - they don't bring out a new version every five months.

    Doc: Shit, he's got a 3.1.05 heart!

    Paramedic: Don't you know it?

    Doc: No, we only covered the 1 series at med school. I did a refresher a while back, but that was only up to 2.6.

    Nurse: [handing him a laptop] I already opened Google for you.
    (Under her breath) I hope your typing's better than your handwriting.

  14. I still cannot figure out which part of our lives Google have monopolized

    You must be a bit slow on the uptake, Ivan. I'm pretty sure I've explained it to you once.

  15. The FCC ought not to ignore the 'proposed value of the control'

    I'm sure they're thinking very hard about it.

    The question is are we talking about the value to consumers, to the public as a whole, or to the telcos?

  16. He's just living up to his sig - "often wrong but never in doubt".

  17. Not to mention Tony Blair.

  18. Fornite? (LIne 2). Sounds like a heat-resistant mineral.

    Can't BeauH1-B even copy and paste correctly?

  19. Re:War of the corporate cancers is BAD for securit on Citing 'Economic Efficiency,' Epic Says Fortnite's Upcoming Android App Won't Hit Google Play Store (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It's an excellent example of how monopolies begin to crack under the weight of their own largesse.

    That word doesn't mean what you think it does.

    In fact, the sentence almost says the opposite of what you intended.

  20. whom generally know what they're doing

    Except with pronouns, apparently.

  21. Re:How about trimming the top level MOD? on Scientists Stunned as Medical Non-Profit Group Abruptly Ends Research Grants (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't feel to see if there's a pen inside?

    You can never have too many pens.

  22. Re:Best Buy is still taking many types of e-waste on US Recycling Companies Face Upheaval From China Scrap Ban (wsj.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    You could have a law that says that any company that sells them must take them back for recycling.

    Crazy talk, I know. And if they did pass a law like that it would lead to compulsory gay marriage and socialised medicine with death camps. And Sharia law. Probably overnight.

  23. Re:The actual issue on US Recycling Companies Face Upheaval From China Scrap Ban (wsj.com) · · Score: 0

    Essentially the person taking out his plastic trash will have to properly separate it and wash it.

    Good luck getting Americans to do that. Because FREEDUM!

    I might want to see local cloud cover though.

    As for the resolution, does it really matter? Display it minecraft style if you want. It's never going to be pinpoint accurate, since clouds sort of, like, move.

    Some genius is no doubt going to suggest looking out of the window. Crazy talk!

    Then, because you don't know where they got the bad ingredients

    Not my problem. I know who I got them from.

    you have to recall everything sourced to them

    No I don't. Did you see the word batch, I did use it several times.

    If they're your largest hops supplier

    They might not be for long, if they do it again.

    you know that everything traces back to one farm and you recall 5% of what's in circulation.

    Do you think they keep them all in separate bags or something? In any case, that's the supplier's problem and he should be able to trace his inputs to his outputs the same way I do.

    You don't really grok this industry thing, do you? And I'll ask again, what's the global supply chain got to do with any of this?
