  1. Re:What on earth on No Fuel In the Fukushima Reactor #1 · · Score: 2

    What on earth is "an Uruguay syndrom", and why does google have no idea either.

    And I thought that /.ers were supposed to be smart.

    No need to be a smug dick about it...

    Oh! There was a need ... there was a terrible need.

    Pay no attention to that massive whooshing sound you hear ...

    And I thought that /.ers were supposed to be smart.

    An Uruguay Syndrom[e] is very similar to Collins' Syndrome, except that it is much bigger and involves radiation from uranium fission instead of Cesium/Deuterium. Think of it as an Atlantis Complex times 100.

    There, was that so hard?

  3. Video Game Music on Musician Releases Album of Music To Code By · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why not just listen to video game music? Seems like it was made for the same purpose. When I am coding, listening to video game music doesn't distract my brain, energizes me, and makes what I am doing feel really important. It's awesome.

  4. Re:Breaking news! on Artificial Intelligence Bests Humans At Classic Arcade Games · · Score: 1

    Seriously, is there any doubt that a computer can easily defeat a human at ___________ that involves _____________?

    Of course not. Whenever a computer defeats a human easily, of course it isn't true AI. Computers were better at that all along. Leave that to computers so that humans can do the truly human work.

    Really, the summary of this article has made me want to say, FUCK YOU, SLASHDOT! Fuck you for posting shit that really isn't true, slandering a person that I hold in high esteem, and all for stupid fucking mouse clicks.

  6. Re:Software has been replacing coders for decades on The Robots That Will Put Coders Out of Work · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's so much work to do that I doubt our tools will ever "displace" us.

    I find it so strange when otherwise seemingly intelligent people use the word 'never' regarding artificial intelligence. If our brains operate according to the known laws of the universe, then why would you suppose that the piece of meat between our ears could never be improved upon. Really?! Never?

    In some countries bribes are just part of doing business. In others it is quite illegal.

    So, corruption is okay as long as it is culturally acceptable? I see.

    Imagine when your coffee maker won't work because it doesn't detect that you've gotten up and into the shower, or the HVAC doesn't kick on for the room you've just entered because the house computer didn't detect occupancy, or the surround sound system malfunctions and thinks there's a party, so it turns on the music loudly at 3am, or the fridge's inventory list gets corrupted and it reorders everything that you have in an already full fridge...

    OMG! Teh horrorz! Imagine being inundated with *extra* food. Noooooooooo...

    No, I think you both still miss the point. I was "first post" before this article, Snowden, or anyone else. I was saying this was happening before even Slashdot's founding. I simply guessed it, well over a decade ago by following the money. Only then I wasn't rated "+5 Insightful" I was rated by my peers as "-5 crazy for saying the emperor is naked."

    Will the real first post please stand up.

  16. Re:Why is it regrettable? on NSA Official: Supporting Backdoored Random Number Generator Was "Regrettable" · · Score: 1

    I'd like to hear him explain his regret in a little more detail. Was it morally wrong? Was it against civil ethics? Was it anti-democratic? Was it illegal? Or was it that they got caught?

    He regrets it like he regrets eating that hot chili cheese burrito.

  17. Re:its a drug bust on US Government Lurked On Silk Road For Over a Year · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For everyone who is about to object: what do you think a drug bust looks like? They posed as drugs consumers/dealers and busted the parties buying/selling. This seems like what my taxpayer dollars should go towards: stomping out illegal activity where it is prevalent.

    Not only is it a complete waste of time and ruins people's lives, it is a fucking waste of my tax dollars. Oh, but they sure are about to win this stupid fucking drug war.

    Next you think they'll try to outlaw stupidity, thereby breaking logic once and for all.

    They're probably trying to fuck up the classic site so they have an excuse to roll out beta to fix it. It's definitely not displaying properly on my phone anymore.

  20. Re:Yay, religion of peace! on In Paris, Terrorists Kill 2 More, Take At Least 7 Hostages · · Score: 2, Interesting
    It is the religion of 'peace'. They just define 'peace' a little differently.

    Go out, and spread the religion by any peaceful means necessary. If your friend won't accept Allah, peacefully flog him in the streets. If someone insults Allah, peacefully remove his head. If a group refuses to convert to Islam, very peacefully bring your guns and bombs and peacefully kill as many of them as you can. If possible, obtain a peaceful nuclear weapon, and detonate it peacefully in their cities. They will be at peace. We bring them PEACE in the name of Allah!

  21. Re:"free" education costs too much on Obama Proposes 2 Years of Free Community College · · Score: 1

    In my state they made preschool "free". Within the year the tuition costs tripled from previous levels that were flat the previous 5 years. Every time the government offers something for free it's cost becomes unbearable.

    So what you are really saying is that contracting out work that should be handled by the government to private businesses results in problems? Didn't see that one coming.
