  1. Re:University Professor Here on Ask Slashdot: Is the Bar Being Lowered At Universities? · · Score: 1

    Should he have inserted a comma? Really?

    Half of kids entering COLLEGE don't even know what a comma is (or when to use it for that matter), and you are deriding a professor for failing to use one, once?

  2. Re:fuck you iceland. on Iceland Considers Internet Porn Ban · · Score: 1

    Check out "AFTER PORN" on Netflix. While I tend to agree with you, it's definitely a YMMV sort of thing

    Really? When I asked one of his staff about this policy in writing I was called a 'dipper' communist. I'd share but privacy, you know.

    I'm not sure where you are going with the JoCo lyrics (did I just say "JoCo"?), but I'm hoping it's just Codemonkey's just bitter/jealous of those who can hack it with humans.

    Bitterness and Jealousy is a real turn off for socially well-adjusted nerds.

    Seriously dude, I'm sure your managers find you a pleasure to work with. Maybe someone like you could actually benefit from this course in order to readjust your perspective, or at least tweak your outputs a little.

    the second condition should probably be another variable too like $uid_cn or such.

    Was just end of day, I'm totally checked out pseudo code- relax gents. But I should have known better if I was to be snarky in bash:

    if [ $uid -ge 1000000 ] || [ $uid == "Anonymous Coward" ]; then
                    cat $foo > /dev/null
    else
                    $foo > $file

    So...basically this is precisely what is happening, move along.... nothing to see here. ;)

  11. Re:If this can happen ... on Site Copies Content and Uses the DMCA to Take Down the Original Articles · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sorry, clearly the most important thing is that content producers which actually generate revenue can continue doing so the moment a DMCA request is actioned. Money does not want or have time for your petty notions such as 'proof' or 'oversight'.

    Every moment of delay collecting such lawful claptrap is money out of my (ahem, I mean) content producer's pocket and lost taxes out of your government coffer, Dear congressman/Senator.

  12. Re:Depends on the Genre on Is the Era of Groundbreaking Science Over? · · Score: 1

    Higgs Boson was a theory older than myself, which also predates gems such as:

  13. Re:Equifax gave out my email address on HR Departments Tell Equifax Your Entire Salary History · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is why he mentioned, (and I also use) a keyword.

    For instance, the difference between a mailspammer and a direct marketer is this.

    In emails sent to zeromous@slashdot.org (an unlikely email address but spammed all the same as you describe)

    mailspammer will say, "hello zeromous, Here is a special deal"

    direct marketer will have gotten my address from equifax, where I was sure to sign up as Dr. Unicorn McBojangles

    direct marketer will say, "hello Dr. Unicorn McBojangles, we have a special and unique opportunity for people with good credit!"

  15. The future, not yet, but soon maybe. on OnLive's Epic Plan For a New Type of Video Game · · Score: 1

    It's too bad Onlive will be the "prodigy" of online gaming services. By that I mean, early to the party, home in bed before it gets started.

    The delta between quality of graphics, render times and bandwidth to send completed frames is getting smaller ever day. I just don't think it's where it need to be for anything beyond local broadcast.

    What we will see is road gaming using a user's local console first. Cloud needs to be everywhere before we can outsource the frame generation to a laggy internet-shared based service. For Chrissakes, youtube can't even deliver me a super bowl commercial without buffering on my 30Mbit connection.

  16. Re:Seriously - what is slashdot's agenda? on Yes, PlayBook Does Get BlackBerry 10 Update · · Score: 1

    I'm not trolling, the Iphone5 is not immune to slowdown. The point is my money is on BB10 requiring less CPU resources since QNX pretty much wrote the book on RTOS. Also I play hockey with their devs so maybe I am trolling a bit ;D

    Next Iphone will likely use a dual CPU/quad core GPU, so its not difficult to see the BB10 doing just as much (if not more) with less when you consider the snapdragon dual core + adreno I assume that drives it.

    Id hardly call my IPhone5 snappy AC. It could use a Quad.

    You don't need a quad core when you are running QNX to get same real-world performance as iOS or Android. Just guessing.

  21. What a terrible headline on RIM's BB10 Campaign Requires Some Serious Work · · Score: 0

    So does it need serious work, or does RIM need to seriously work hard?

    The ambiguity is smarmy, like many headlines on slashdot these days. Clearly it is intentional, since no one is actually interested in a re-report of the obvious, am I right?

    It couldn't be that actual nerds are interested in what RIM is doing, not what some dolt thinks they should be doing (right after they explain how impossible the whole thing is).

    Keep it up slashdot and I won't keep coming back. I tire of this nonsense.
