    Shhhhh... Don't give away the secret. :p

  2. And I am hearing that in the voice of Mr. Spacely now.

    "You must have fucked up somewhere..."

    To quote Wile E. Coyote...

    I can jump higher than the average house.

    This one sounds like an Iggy Prize to be proud of; just for the amusement factor, if nothing else. :D

    The few remaining '99ers would like to have a few words with you...

    You try telling the kids that these days, and they'll never believe you.

  8. But MySpace would grow back to fill in the void.

  9. The only right response from all the Australian media companies should be a collective and unanimous PISS OFF to both Zuck and Facebook; and sentence Fuckerman to The Boot.

    Or is Piss off too British? Bugger off? Fuck off? Someuntranslatablemumblyword off? :D

    There are always outliers of course.

  11. They are missing out on a major opportunity here.

    IBM has this AI thingie called Watson. Right now they are tasking it with cancer related programming.

    Don't they have enough nerds there to convince their bosses to give it proctology programming?

    Then after they feed the patient a laxative that they can call No Shit Sherlock, the AI's controller can put it to work with the command, "Dig Deeper Watson."

  12. Re:Developer costs are not fixed, why should apps on Apple Asked Developers To Adopt Subscriptions and Hike App Prices, Report Says (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's a wonder how companies like Broderbund, Sierra, and others survived back in the latter decades of the 20th Century without charging over and over and over for the same game or other piece of software?

    Oh, that's right. Programmers back then continued to work on new products to also sell. It was almost like having a job.

    And if your software right out of the box requires constant updates, then you sold a defective product, and it is on you to make it right, without making your customer shell out even more $$ to fix your fuckups.

    Well... There is that old saying about the first impression being a lasting impression (though last impressions can be just as lasting).

  16. Re:Yes, train the crows to attack smokers. on Theme Park Deploys Trained Crows To Collect Litter (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    I believe it was the Apostle Paul who once said, "In all of your undertakings, settle not for a half-assed job. Instead, thou should endeavour to use both cheeks."

  18. Re:Goodbye Arstechnica on US Invaded By Savage Tick That Sucks Animals Dry, Spawns Without Mating (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It was probably intended as a hyperbole laden joke. Another example (and one of my favorites) is, "I was so bad at all sports, I once lost a bye."

  19. Re:Enough on MoviePass Limiting Subscribers To 3 Movies Per Month (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Tightwad Tuesday at our theater here. Tuesday matinee is $6. Mildly amusing that the $6 showing of Christopher Robin tomorrow is at 4:20. Going to toke up real good before show time (pleasant walk, especially when high).

    Pardon the gratuitous use of the fuck word, but that is actually fucking hilarious. :D (Or perhaps it is just the cheapass Strawberry Fields talking).

    None of the places I shop at take stock options as payment. That is why money comes first, everything else anywhere after that.

    Hey, retard! Guess what?

    I don't know if you noticed or not, but all links here show the destination in square brackets next to the link.

    Are you too fucking stupid to understand that everyone already knows that is a goatse shot without clicking on it?

    I swear, these trolls on Slashdot get stupider by the minute.
