  1. Re:Wrong Title on Men's Rights Activists Call For Boycott of Mad Max: Fury Road · · Score: 1

    They should have called it, "Mad Max: Baby Boomer Road," as the bloated villains are what the baby boomers will look like after 20 years of retirement. God forbid if you get between them and their Social Security benefits,

  2. Re:Being rusty is no excuse... on Rust 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Whenever a new technology comes out, recruiters will require five years of experience. The only people who would remotely qualified for five years of experience are the people worked on the new technology. By the time everyone hears about it (I haven't heard of Rust until today), six months will have gone by.

    That's what they said about Swift.

    Looking at the documentation.

    $ rustc --version

    This clearly looks like a rusted version of the C programming language. Move along, nothing to see.

  6. Re:Running out of words? on Rust 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    If the recruiters looked over to Russia, they will find programmers who dealt with rust since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The whole country has been falling apart since then.

    Job postings for Rust on Dice will require five years of experience for a programming language that came out six months ago.

    I did "Hello, world!" in assembly language for the Commodore 64. Does that count?

    Besides Max Headroom, no.

  11. Do they still teach assembly language? on MenuetOS, an Operating System Written Entirely In Assembly, Hits 1.0 · · Score: 2

    When I went back to community college to learn programming after the Dot Com bust, I was frustrated that all the courses was in every flavor of Java. (The school couldn't afford to renew the Microsoft site license for a few years.) When the assembly language class appeared on the schedule, I later discovered that I was only the student signed up for the course. Class cancelled. Since this class wasn't required for graduation, the dean couldn't grant my request to learn assembly language as an independent study class.

  13. Re:Battlefield Earth sucked on Rediscovered Lucas-Commissioned Short "Black Angel" Released On YouTube · · Score: 1

    That the Psychlo howeward had such a volatile atmosphere that a single nuclear bomb could make the whole planet explode has always fascinated me. Such a planet can't develop a space-faring civilization. Once you give that some thought, the rest of the movie falls apart.

  14. Re:AOL.com = No Interview on Does Using an AOL Email Address Suggest You're a Tech Dinosaur? · · Score: 1

    You shouldn't be applying for jobs with your porn email address. Unless, of course, you're looking for porn jobs.

    I had my Yahoo email address from the beginning ("Look, ma, no numbers!"), haven't changed my password since then, and still have recruiters calling me for tech jobs in Silicon Valley. Only stupid people discriminate, especially on the basis of email addresses.

  16. Everyday technology can outlive us... on Ask Slashdot: After We're Gone, the Last Electrical Device Still Working? · · Score: 1

    A British woman found dead inside her apartment two years after she died because she withdrew from society, charity paid her rent and her utilities were automatically paid. If humanity drops dead suddenly, "stay calm and carry on" will rule the day.

  17. LORD and TradeWars on WildCat BBS on (Hack) and Slash: Doing the LORD's Work · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I had a WildCat BBS in 1994 and 1995 running on an ancient IBM AT computer in an 80-pound industrial case that bolted to the floor (I still kick myself for not keeping the case), 20MB 5.25" hard drive and a 2400bps modem. LORD and TradeWars were my favorite games. I would log locally and chit-chat with whomever logged into my board. This was the beginning and the end of my online empire before something called THE INTERNET made the BBS scene obsolete. I was a Dot Com bust before the Dot Com bust hit five years later.

    The ISS is recycling California sewage in space? No wonder my sewage bill was so expensive in Silicon Valley.

  22. Re:Treat Drones Like Nerf Darts on FAA Program Tests Drones Flying Beyond Pilot's Line-of-Sight · · Score: 1

    Most drones aren't legally registered. You buy a drone at the store, fly it around for a while, watch it slide out of RC range, and crash into a fenced-in backyard with a big "NO TRESPASSING - WATCH OUT FOR GOD" sign. Unless you have a sales receipt with a serial number that matches a serial number on the drone, you're so out of luck if you call the cops.

    BTW, The cliche goes back to the 16th century.
