  1. In her case, you can omit the "son-of-a" part; she can correctly be referred to as simply a "bitch".

  2. All this really proves is that everything you read on the internet is a lie. I.e. Hilary didn't actually win every coin toss.

  3. Re:Clearly not by pure chance. on Perfect Coin-Toss Record Broke 6 Clinton-Sanders Deadlocks In Iowa (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    God intervened on Hilary's behalf... definitive proof that God is a bitch!

  4. Stastically insignificant difference on Perfect Coin-Toss Record Broke 6 Clinton-Sanders Deadlocks In Iowa (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    I think Sander's characterization of this as a tie is pretty appropriate.

  5. The Japanese on Japanese Researchers Achieve Record 56Gbps Wireless Transmission · · Score: 1

    Leading the world in high speed porn distribution technology!

  6. The Yahoo redesign: proof that apparently nobody in the company is familiar with the concept of A/B testing. Has anybody said they actually _liked_ the new design? Couldn't they have gotten that feed back, oh, I don't know... maybe BEFORE they forced it on every user?

    Didn't "ranking and rating" at Intel work the same way? (I was only there as a contractor, so all I know about it is what I've been told by employees.)

    Does Ursula Burns count?

    Carly Fiorina did wonders for HP...

    ... by leaving the company. HP stock shot up 7% the day she left!

  10. Re:Good luck with that... on Former Yahoo Employee Challenges the Legality of Yahoo's Ranking System (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that the only person that is NOT a member of a "protected class" is a white male... which is kind of silly, if you ask me.

  11. More like the type that have such lousy resumes that they haven't landed another job... yet. There is a huge problem with downsizing via attrition: all the best people leave first.

  12. But... that would require competent managers! You'd be surprised how many managers I've had that had nary a clue what I was doing.

  13. "Ranking and rating" on Former Yahoo Employee Challenges the Legality of Yahoo's Ranking System (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    "Ranking and rating" is what they call it at Intel... is that where Yahoo got if from?

  14. Has this already been done? on One Hoss Shay and Our Society of Obsolescence (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    My experience with Hondas is that they are designed to last almost exactly 100,000 miles, at which point they start requiring significant maintenance.

  15. Re:duh on The Feds' Freeway Font Flip-Flop (citylab.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was going to vote for Comic Sans myself. Somehow, it seems appropriate.

  16. Kind sir, I believe you misspelled "colorful" and "honor"! Carry on...

  17. Please tell me "Justin Case" is a pseudonym and not someone's real name!

  18. Re:Show the text of the article. on How To Build a TimesMachine (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    OCR it into plain text to build indexes that point back into the TIFF files. You want the context, which in many cases includes (badly halftoned) pictures.

  19. Next to come back... on DeLoreans To Go Back To Production (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    The Studebaker Avanti? Or is it already being produced?

  20. So, they only eat the ugly ones, then?

    As Joycelyn "slow hand" Elders said about masturbation, "I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught."

  22. Sound pretty Zen on Ask Slashdot: How To Work On Source Code Without Having the Source Code? · · Score: 1

    Is that a Zen koan, like "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" Grasshopper, when you can answer the question "How to work on source code without having the source code?", then, and only then, you will be a true master!
