    But how can we take the word of a criminal?

    In that case - WOOSH!

  3. Re:really scary on DoD Declassifies Flu Pandemic Plan Containing Sobering Assumptions · · Score: 0

    It's really scary because I work for an Internet startup. Without any technology to let us communicate and collaborate without being in the same room, we are forced to come into our open plan office every day and be exposed to contagious disease.

    VPN, IM, Hangouts, electronic whiteboards, etc. You should have these anyway, so you can coerce your employees/coworkers to work from home! ;)

  4. Re:Moo on Study Shows Professors With Tenure Are Worse Teachers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've actually repented of my flip comment based on someone else's reasonable explanation, so yes I do see what you're saying now. Thanks for not calling me a d-bag or something like that.

  5. Re:Alternative Metrics on Study Shows Professors With Tenure Are Worse Teachers · · Score: 2

    Thanks for the informative post. Now I regret my half-cocked statement above! This sounds entirely reasonable.

  6. Re:Moo on Study Shows Professors With Tenure Are Worse Teachers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How about tenured professors have less reason to give a damn about their jobs, since they cannot be (easily) fired?

    ... still think SVN is where it is at.

    SVN is needlessly complicated. I favor the Source Control Shingle.

    Somebody just wanted to write "Croak & Dagger".

  9. Re:Can anything be immune from ads? on Instagram Rolls Out Plan For In-Feed Advertisments · · Score: 1

    I wish the government would provide all the social networks for the people, free of charge!

  10. Re:Whoops on Instagram Rolls Out Plan For In-Feed Advertisments · · Score: 1

    Looks like Slashdot is rolling out its plan for in-comment advertisements!

  11. Re:I think it is necessary on Instagram Rolls Out Plan For In-Feed Advertisments · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ignore is strength.

    There is something profound here, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

  12. Re:swim from cuba to US on World-First: Woman Becomes Pregnant After Ovarian Tissue Graft · · Score: 1

    why are we talking about this when we should be talking about the woman who was the first person to swim from cuba to US? 52 hours and she's 64 years old!

    That's slower than 1 hour per year!

  13. Re:Wrong analogy on US Electrical Grid On the Edge of Failure · · Score: 2

    A car could lose 100% of its wheels an be extremely stable.

    I'm tipping my hat - yours is funnier than mine. :) But I can't give you points (since I posted).

  15. Re:heh on Single Developer Responsible For Over 47k Apps In BlackBerry World · · Score: 1

    That is true - it was a stretch, but I went for it.

  16. Re:In the next 12 months... on Ballmer To Retire · · Score: 5, Funny

    He needs 12 months because his retirement is behind schedule. And of course, just days after his retirement, he will have to download all the new retirement patches and Retirement Service Pack 2.0.

  17. Re:Don't fly period. on Don't Fly During Ramadan · · Score: 5, Funny

    You blue-vesties never learn.

  18. Re:heh on Single Developer Responsible For Over 47k Apps In BlackBerry World · · Score: 5, Funny

    They blew it.

    There's an app for that.

    If that were true, it might have saved them!

  19. Re:at some point... on The College-Loan Scandal · · Score: 2

    I'd be willing to give socialism a try, except that it turns people into unbearable snots.

  20. WaPo vs. NYT on Washington Post Hacked, a Day After New York Times · · Score: 4, Funny

    Who knows if one, or more, of these newspaper sites are hacked? I cannot tell anymore...
