  1. Re:will AJAX development finally be easy? on The Future of AJAX and the Rich Web · · Score: 1

    Cool!

  2. Re:will AJAX development finally be easy? on The Future of AJAX and the Rich Web · · Score: 1

    Maybe I have too much poitics in my life, but it was an evasive answer. I'm just sayin'.

    And even the links you give above don't answer the original question. They're just places you assume will answer the question. Unless you' know of a specific page in those results that try to teach AJAX in an afternoon.

    In which case, you could enlighten us, if you so choose...

  3. Re:will AJAX development finally be easy? on The Future of AJAX and the Rich Web · · Score: 1

    So you don't know, then.

  4. Re:In Soviet Russia on Russian Police Seize Kasparov · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, me nuts drive these jokes.

  5. Re:You need to lay off the mainframe comparisons on The Dying PC Market · · Score: 1
    Those are excellent points!

    Incidentally, if you could, would you please write something similar to boost the morale of the *BSD camps?

    Thx in advance...

  6. Re:"...year anniversary" on Citizendium After One Year · · Score: 4, Funny

    People started doing this after certain other people started using phrases like "two month anniversary". I tried to push the word "mensiversary", but everyone thought I was talking about menstrual poetry.

  7. Re:yeah, I'l say on Pluto Probe Makes Discoveries at Jupiter · · Score: 1

    It takes a tough man to make a tender planet

  8. Sounds simple to me on System Admin's Unit of Production? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    1) Ask him what he wants to hear
    2) Tell him what he wants to hear.

    If you can't reasonably tell him what he wants to hear, tell him how much it will cost to produce what he wants to hear.

    This is not a technical consideration. This is a political consideration. He already has an idea of how to cover his ass. Give him the asbestos he wants.

  9. Re:The evil CDT on Senate Committee Passes FCC Indecency Bill · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm not exactly sure what rap fans use in place of it when they're shouting at each other,


    "Slashdot readin', pasty-ass motherfucker!"


    Or maybe that's just what they say to me...

  10. How helpful? on AI to Monitor Foreign Press for Threats · · Score: 1
    Seems like another whizz-bang SIGINT project dressed up to look like HUMINT.

    As helpful as such a system may be, is it better than 1500 friendly eyes and ears in Pakistan? <insert joke about catching a 6'5" Arab on dialysis>

  11. Re:I say on How Do You Punish a 16-year-old Spammer? · · Score: 1

    Many municipalities are not abel to inflict corporal punishment, brother

  12. Re:Typos on DIY Random Number Generator · · Score: 1

    I think it should read:

    "less than 100.00 [% chance of getting you laid] ..."

    which means not worth doing in my book.

  13. Re:too much time on their hands? on Judge Creates Own Da Vinci Code · · Score: 1
    As an example, I recently told management to bite my ass

    Wait, that's too simple...

  14. Re:let me guess on Accoona - How Does This Search Engine Rate? · · Score: 1

    Helps if you spell it right: Tiananmen

  15. You focus on the time thing? on Physicist Claims Time Has a Geometry · · Score: 1
    He states there was no big bang, that the theory of black holes is wrong, and that what we though should have been gravity waves really shows up as the cosmic microwave background.

    And you pick out his statement that time is relative?

  16. Re:Well good on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 1
    Just a point.

    You said:

    The people who are rabidly against the concept of intelligent design are nothing more than arrogant freaks who declare that man may be able to build evolving life in the lab but nobody else in the universe has ever been able to do so, nor ever will

    But before that, you said:

    There isn't a biological engineer on the planet who wouldn't love to create life from raw elements and watch them evolve into something more complex.

    That doesn't seem like intelligent design. That seems like it would be "intelligent watching of things unfold on their own." Unless you're arguing that the intelligent design is in the platonic laws of probability and mathematics that govern our universe and the evolutionary process itself. Which I could get behind... but that's just me. :)

    Of course, intelligent mathematical design wouldn't be an argument against evolution, so that's probably not what the school board was talking about...

  17. Re:Heck... on Microsoft to Invest $1.7 billion in India · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I thought the price of India was however much money it took to bribe enough of the leaders to go along... Who knew it was that much?

  18. To me, it's the wrong question on A Pay Cut for Personal Growth? · · Score: 1
    Not to sound too corny (probably impossible given what I'm about to say), but to me, it sounds like you don't know how you want to help your fellow man. At some point I decided that my life was about helping put a smile on people's faces when they sit down in front of a computer. At a job I was working in the past, my next step up the rung was to go into management. I decided there to become a trainer, and I have never looked back. Maybe it was a step down, but for me it was also a step forward.


    If you knew what you wanted to accomplish in this lifetime, your "decision" would probably be a no-brainer.

  19. Re:The robot is all thumbs. on Robot Catches High Speed Objects · · Score: 1

    If a robot arm reaches all arms that don't reach themselves, who reaches the robot arm?

  20. Hard Drive Only on How to Keep Music for Forty Years? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Yes, I have been transcribing everything to HDD. Yes, I've been copying it from HDD to HDD (and I have a mirror on a different PC). And I store everything in OGG, so that I can at least play it if I have a C compiler.

    And given the fact that I can still find a SNOBOL compiler on the net, I'm assuming I'll be okay for a while (until my hearing goes, and then, oh well...)

  21. Re:New laws more important than old ones on Using Wikis to Catch Outdated and Bad Laws? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The problem with obsolete laws is that they can be used for blackmail by the state (an example of largesse). 1) Make a joke about that blowjob you got to an undercover cop. 2) Write an editorial recommending police cuts. 3) Wait for the arrest warrant...

  22. Who cares? on Burnout and Depression Among IT Workers? · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm going to sleep.

  23. Do it! on Would You Submit Biometric Data to Join a Gym? · · Score: 1

    Go ahead everybody and submit your fingerprints to as many minimally secure, relatively worthless systems as possible. Maybe we can devalue the damn things to the point that nobody would seriously think of using them to protect anything.

  24. Re:What next? on White House: No Kerry Supporters at IATC Meeting · · Score: 3, Funny
    It really *does* seem as if we're becoming more Facist every day (look it up, it's not a troll)

    I did, and you're right! It fits with all three definitions!

  25. Re:Why not go to DST permanently? on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 1

    You didn't mention whether or not you were dead.
