  1. Not in these activist's style on White House Threatens Veto Over EPA "Secret Science" Bills · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yeah, you wouldn't want EPA regulations made from 'settled science' with full transparency. That wouldn't be in these activist's style. Obama went rogue long ago.

  2. The brace initializer syntax is the biggest structural improvement. Auto is fine but a skilled programmers needs to understand iterator types. C++ is very complex, and whole swaths of the language can be safely ignored. Now, if we could only decide which ones... Objective-C blows.

  3. Thrilling on Spacewalking Astronauts Finish Extensive, Tricky Cable Job · · Score: -1

    Thrilling. All so in 2 years we can do the same amount of nothing up there with the Russian Mafia as we are doing today. Our space program sucks, starting with the $3 billion the US sets alight annually to keep this white elephant traveling nowhere.

  4. Hope you fkin a$$holes who voted for Obama are getting what you wanted.

  5. More warming is a good thing on We Stopped At Two Nuclear Bombs; We Can Stop At Two Degrees. · · Score: 0

    In the last 12,000 years sea level has risen nearly 10m. That warming has led to the ascent of man. Life has reached its greatest diversity in geological periods of warming. More warming is a good thing.

  6. Speculation on Ceres' Mystery Bright Dots May Have Volcanic Origin · · Score: -1

    but we will have to wait for better resolution before we can make such geologic interpretations

    Then why don't you, and save us the mindless speculation? Can't you mentally masturbate in private for a few more days?

  7. Sorely needed on Obama Vetoes Keystone XL Pipeline Bill · · Score: -1

    Canada is and will be US largest supplier or crude oil. Even our loathsome and corrupt government thinks so. There is no reason to offend a friendly and reliable supplier, which is what that cocksucking muslim has done.

  8. Your choice on Google Teams Up With 3 Wireless Carriers To Combat Apple Pay · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Let's see. Pay technology companies a small fee to for every transaction, and allow them to spy on you, tracking your every spending habit and movement. Or just pay cash. Hmm.

  9. Re:Russian steep price on ISS Crew Install Cables For 2017 Arrival of Commercial Capsules · · Score: -1

    We'll deal with it. Ultimately, the dismemberment of Russia by the United States.

  10. Exciting space program on ISS Crew Install Cables For 2017 Arrival of Commercial Capsules · · Score: -1

    Really exciting space program, sharing a space station with Russian pigs who dismember a European state as we speak. Putin needs to hang from a meat hook.

  11. Bubble on No Tech Bubble Here, Says CNN: "This Time It's Different." · · Score: 0

    We are certainly mid to late in this economic cycle. Fed policy has helped to inflate the price of equities due to low interest rates. The market is pretty fully valued, so beware. I am holding and paying attention to dividend yield. Uber, Facebook, Tesla. They are all grossly overvalued. I like stocks other people hate. Big oil, Walmart, Altria, Monsanto.

  12. It cannot be stopped on Oregon Residents Riled Over Virtually Staff-free Data Centers Getting Tax-breaks · · Score: -1

    As an investor all I ask for is profits, profits, profits! What to you embittered socialists offer? A society of the embittered indolent huddling in the cold and dim waiting for their next gubment check?

  13. If I were Musk on Elon Musk To Write a Book About Earth Sustainability and Mars Colonization · · Score: -1

    If I were Mr. Musk, I wouldn't get too distracted. Tesla reported a miserable quarter. They managed to sell a paltry 123 cars in China! Toyota and BMW are hot on his heels heels. Any more reports like that and sentiment will drain from Tesla as his most argent fanbois lose faith.

  14. I'm sorry on Smoking Is Even Deadlier Than Previously Thought · · Score: -1

    I'm sorry smoking is deadly, but my Altria stock is doing well, so...

  15. Sure on Apple Hiring Automotive Experts · · Score: -1

    Sure. Making a good cell phone qualifies you to build a car. Apple and Google need to be careful. There investments get wackier by the day.

  16. Expect... on NASA: Increasing Carbon Emissions Risk Megadroughts · · Score: -1

    Expect a deluge in the far west this spring. Climate science is a most hopelessly corrupt enterprise. Have these people no shame?

  17. Patton had it right on What Intel's $300 Million Diversity Pledge Really Means · · Score: -1

    General Patton had it right. The destruction dismemberment of Russia was WWII's great and tragic unfinished task. After a 25 year hiatus it is time for the US to set to work again. We start by strangling Russia's economy, and continue by arming its enemies on indefensible borders. They will find that Russia's army is nothing but drunken conscripts more ready to flee than fight. When Putin cracks, and he will, we take western Alaska (which some mistakenly call Siberia) and give our European and Japanese allies their portion. God bless the Jewish people!

  18. The problem correlates on Low Vaccination Rates At Silicon Valley Daycare Facilities · · Score: -1

    The problem correlates with liberals and disease ridden immigrants, both of which are in abundant supply in Silicon Valley.

  19. Busy with another scrub on West To East Coast: SpaceX Ready For Extreme Multitasking · · Score: -1

    SpaceX was busy with another scrub. The PR department was working overtime perhaps. Musk needs some good news. Tesla stock is getting rocked.

  20. The mantle of science on Canadian Climate Scientist Wins Defamation Suit Against National Post · · Score: -1

    The leftists love to cover themselves in the mantle of science. Science demands that theory account for the facts. The fact is there has been no warming in the past 18 years, while the breathless predictions of politicized scientists were predicting large increases. Climate science is the most corrupt branch of science of all time.

  21. A better place for it on GPG Programmer Werner Koch Is Running Out of Money · · Score: -1

    Reimplement it in systemd where it can live forever.

  22. Lots! on New Chinese Regulations Require Real Name On Internet · · Score: -1

    How many Chins are in the Chinese phonebook?

  23. Re:Minnesota - No Tech Job? Huh? on Study Predicts 9% Drop In Salaries of New CS Grads This Year · · Score: -1

    Same with me. I moved up from 10 years ago from KC. I've worked continuously and profitably and St. Jude and Baxter. I have a nice house, make mid 100's and increased my net worth by over 400K. Minneapolis is a great tech town. Yes, there are a lot of H1B bottom feeders. The jobs that supervise them pay well.

  24. Why bother? on NASA Launches Satellite To Observe Soil Moisture · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why bother trying to understand climate change? The leftists should do what they really want, which is raise taxes.

  25. First on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Engage 5th-8th Graders In Computing? · · Score: -1

    First, identify the whites and asian males. They are the most predisposed to learning computing.
