    might as well stick with the current Excel spreadsheet.

  2. Re:Bad managers poop in your coffee mug. on On Managing Developers · · Score: 2

    Obviously, you need them to all work together, so you need to promote immediate communication between all developers.

    I suggest one large open room, with several rows of folding tables. Then place the developers along the tables, alternating sides to make best use of the space, as well as making sure they talk to the two developers facing them. Also, disallow headphones or anyone to play music. Maybe also march up and down the aisles every once in awhile and encourage them.

  3. Re:We'll talk when on NOAA: Global Warming 'Pause' Never Happened · · Score: 1

    Clearly, you need to do what Harper has been doing in Canada. Making sure that less and less data is being recorded. And old data is deleted.

    Global Warming can't possibly happen if you have no idea what the climate was in the past.

    Of course, it makes it slightly more challenging to do weather forecasting, but you don't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

    Yes. Yes you are.

    Now go put your helmet back on and play in your room.

  6. Re:The CE Industry? on Linux Kernel 4.1 Will Be an LTS Release · · Score: 1

    No. They were referring to Windows CE, normally shortened to "wince". Which also accurately describes how it makes you feel when you use it.

  7. Re:Incognito Mode - Godless Communism! on US Prosecutors Say Clearing Browser Data Can Be Obstruction of Justice · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Using incognito shows you have the intent to do something illegal. Otherwise, you would have nothing to hide.

  8. Re: Socially Acceptable on Bell Media President Says Canadians Are 'Stealing' US Netflix Content · · Score: 1

    Yes, because when it becomes socially unacceptable, her bonus will be larger.

  9. Re:Nations fear it, but they fear each other more. on Governments of the World Agree: Encryption Must Die! · · Score: 1

    You are confused.

    The only encryption that the gov't want to stop is when it is used by individuals.

    Corporations and governments still get to use high-quality, secure encryption.

  10. oops, that wall was painted with lead paint.

  11. Re:So sorry... on NASA Drops $2.3M On Supersonic Aircraft Research · · Score: 5, Insightful

    $2.3 million across 8 projects? That's less than $300,000 / project. Jack-squat to do much besides running a bunch of simulations on computers. Maybe one or two test flights.

  12. Re:Sunset provisions are good. on The Bizarre Process Used For Approving Exemptions To the DMCA · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's almost as if the industry wrote the law and is responsible for directing the government as to how to enforce it.

    same place as Patriot in the patriot act.

    whoosh. I wasn't agreeing with the original statement, just showing why it didn't include sandwiches.

    Because "Bitches And Sandwiches Are Only Useful For Fucking" sounds crazy.

  18. Re:Silly Monkeys on The Case For a Muon Collider Succeeding the LHC Just Got Stronger · · Score: 1

    We need a better way to thin the herd. The existing methods haven't worked at slowing down the increase in humans.

  19. Re:And...and... on Let's Take This Open Floor Plan To the Next Level · · Score: 1

    the next step is to make the office smaller, so everyone has to be closer together.

    just rows of card tables, with chairs. 2 people per table, facing each other.

  20. Re:wow, no lie on Ask Slashdot: Switching Careers From Software Engineering To Networking? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    1. Way to mix the numbers up. You managed to work the numbers both ways, multiplying up to make an expense include taxes, while also dividing salary down to remove taxes, making the numbers really confusing
    2. You cut his salary in half, then at the end claim there isn't much left to save. The half you cut is "savings".
    3. 40k a year for the rest [food, utilities, car, etc] isn't crazy cheap. You don't have to scrimp every penny just to get by. Sure, you don't get to fly to EuroDisney for 3 weeks each year, but you totally can get by with that. If you want to.

  21. Re:It won't die on The Patriot Act May Be Dead For Good · · Score: 2

    And the emergency measure that just has to pass will just happen to also expand what they can do legally. Because there will be no time to change the wording, it'll be fixed the next time. Promise.

  22. Re:To be more specific ... on Why PowerPoint Should Be Banned · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Better presentations have some bullet points on screen, while the presenter says a bunch of stuff expanding and explaining the points, not just repeating the points themselves.

  23. Re:Exodus on Ask Slashdot: What Happens If We Perfect Age Reversing? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, as without rich people, there is no such thing as poor, as it's a relative term.

    But the rich are happy with having the poor sort out for themselves who gets to live on to continue serving the rich.

  24. Re:Exodus on Ask Slashdot: What Happens If We Perfect Age Reversing? · · Score: 1

    It's not totally independent, but they don't need to interact with us at all. And they aren't interested in preventing things from going to hell [such as significantly large portions of the worlds population being without jobs or regular access to food/water, including in the 'West'], because they WANT those people to disappear, because those people are considered to be wasting resources that the rich could have for themselves down the road.

    until you hit God.

    I'm hoping it doesn't turn into a Tower of Babel thing. Or something requiring an ark.
