    True, but the last corp standing WINS!

  2. They choose wisely on Code.org: Blame Tech Diversity On Education Pipeline, Not Hiring Discrimination · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sure, a few folks have fun jobs, but the majority of the work in this field is miserable and women are wise enough to avoid it.

  3. Good science, me too! on Astrophysicists Use Apollo Seismic Array To Hunt For Gravitational Waves · · Score: 2

    My experiments with a laser pointer and a moldy old potato have clearly established that gravitational waves are not strong enough to affect it.

  4. Re: Well of course. on Physicist Claims Black Holes Mathematically Don't Exist · · Score: 1

    Hmmm...I cannot even begin to guess what such a nonsensical person would with the posts in this nonsensical place.

  5. Re: Wow, I thought you were dead. on Mystery Signal Could Be Dark Matter Hint In ISS Detector · · Score: 1

    Daneel went back to Earth after I shacked up with Gladia. I suspect he's been trying out some new laws on my wife.

  8. Re: TI calculators are not outdated, just overpri on How the Outdated TI-84 Plus Still Holds a Monopoly On Classrooms · · Score: 1

    I just bought a TI-84 Plus Silver C for my son last night. It has a higher res screen with color and a bunch more memory, and it was $99 at Target. Dead easy to graph with too.

  9. Re: TI calculators are not outdated, just overpric on How the Outdated TI-84 Plus Still Holds a Monopoly On Classrooms · · Score: 1

    ...and I'll agree because that other guy agreed! Now we have consensus on this issue and everyone must agree too!

  10. Re:I love competition. on Xbox One Will Play Media from USB Devices, DLNA Servers · · Score: 2

    This sounds better than the PS3, and I second your hope that it spurs Sony to expand beyond their gaming focus on PS4. I fear, however that neither will ever turn out to be the HTPC we've been dreaming of for the last 10 years.

  11. Re: Pretending to do work is fraud on What Do You Do When Your Mind-Numbing IT Job Should Be Automated? · · Score: 1

    Yes, if only we could have warned primitive man to completely master cave life before venturing out.

  14. Of course on Microsoft's CEO Says He Wants to Unify Windows · · Score: 1

    This is from page 5 of the Management bible. "Consolidation is always better". Don't question it!

  15. Re:they can't find people who will work 60-80+ hou on VP Biden Briefs US Governors On H-1B Visas, IT, and Coding · · Score: 1

    Though they do spend about 20 of those hours smoking and watching cricket matches.

  16. U.S. in the rearview mirror on China Plans Particle Colliders That Would Dwarf CERN's LHC · · Score: 0

    You've been hiding under a rock for forty years if you don't know what those white flags on the Brooklyn bridge mean.

  17. The end is nigh on Apple and IBM Announce Partnership To Bring iOS + Cloud Services To Enterprises · · Score: 1, Informative

    Sounds like the effing apocalypse to me.

  20. Buzzword Bingo on 15-Year-Old Developing a 3D Printer 10x Faster Than Anything On the Market · · Score: 1

    B.S. Crapload's law of buzzwords: Anyone who says they are "innovating" is almost certainly NOT.

    I agree, keep searching for it.

    Hmm, your id looks more like a 2008 model than his.

  24. Why bother? on The 69 Words GM Employees Can Never Say · · Score: 1

    The NSA will be recording their voice conversations anyway. But seriously, this is a joke, right? If not, it's instant "Hall of shame" material, and my cynicism reaches a new height.

  25. Re:I blame consumer product safety laws on As NASA Seeks Next Mission, Russia Holds the Trump Card · · Score: 1

    Curse you! The mere suggestion brings a tear to my remaining eye.
