  1. Re:Let me summarize on Book Review: The Clean Coder · · Score: 1

    I'd like to take credit for it, but that was on an old poster that used to hang in my old CS department when I was an undergrad (above a picture of an angry-looking old programmer glowering at the camera). Every time I hear some programmer complaining about how the younger kids today are sorry programmers, I think about it.

  2. Re:Presidential Posturing from Wisconsin Gov ... on Wisconsin Public Internet Struggles Against Telecom, Legislature · · Score: 1

    At least with a government program, we can make sure that not *all* the money is traded away for crack and booze.

    You mean make them a private school--with private school tuition rates. Pretty sure the parents of Wisconsin aren't going to be too happy about that.

    The legislature is just handing out a little payback to all those hippie college students taking over their capital.

    What do you have to hide, citizen?

  9. Even the most vendor locked email client has export options

    When I used to work in state government (not in Alaska, but in another state), they used some version of Groupwise which had no bulk email export options (you could only export by one message at a time). Nor did they allow you to connect to an POP or IMAP server to download your emails. If Alaska uses something similar, they may well be telling the truth when they say that there is no easy bulk export option for a specific person's emails.

    20 years is a "very, very long time ago"? You must be very, very young.

  16. Shouldn't that be platform neutral? on Ask Slashdot: Linux Support In Universities? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does your university require some sort of special software to access its wireless network or something? My university has hotspots just like any wireless service. You can connect to it with whatever OS or device you like. They don't support Linux directly, but they certainly don't block it from the network.

    Wikileaks is a CIA front

    No, you're thinking of OpenLeaks, the site founded by the CIA's favorite plant at Wikileaks, Daniel Domscheit-Berg.

  18. Yes, I have hacked many beautiful women on What Cybercrime Stats Have In Common With Sexual Braggadocio · · Score: 1

    You mean the guy down the hall in my apartment building with the mustard stains on his shirt *may* be exaggerating when he tells everyone he's the world's greatest hacker and that his "I could be a millionaire if I wanted to be, but I don't hack for money, so that's why I live here" claim could *possibly* be bullshit?

  19. Re:Oh come on, what's the big deal? on Homeland Security Running NBC-Owned PSAs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hell, Dick Cheney even let the companies literally write the government policy that regulated them. Pretty sweet deal if you've got the fat cash for some big campaign contributions.

    You too can own your very own elected representative. For just hundreds of dollars a day, you can help these poor Congressmen and their reelection campaigns. Won't you please help?

  20. Nonsense, Apple knows best on Apple Bans DUI Checkpoint Apps · · Score: 1

    Back in the day, I used to have to decide for myself what programs were appropriate for my devices and computers. Now Apple does it for me on my iPhone and iPad. And now with the launch of the Mac App Store, soon they'll tell me what's appropriate on my PC too. It's nice when someone gives you tough love. Soon I won't have to worry at all about malware anymore, or any other software that Apple thinks is inappropriate for me.
