  1. Re: Fuck Me on SystemD Gains New Networking Features · · Score: 1

    Don't get me wrong, I get your point, but there is a certain beauty to crash only software.

  2. Re:Er What? on Google Releases Dart 1.1 · · Score: 1

    99% (or whatever) of the web apps out there don't need a speed improvement in the client side runtime.
    For those that do, however...

  3. Re:How is it compared to Rasp Pi ? on Dual-Core Allwinner A20 Powered EOMA-68 Engineering Card Available · · Score: 3, Funny

    It runs Ubuntu? Crap. I thought it ran Linux.

    >>>Windows 2000 was the greatest ever.

    Greatest Windows ever, perhaps, for what that's worth.

    I suppose Fedora Core 17 isn't really important anymore, now that all the cool kids are on Arch...

  7. Re:Behold, our huge, mighty penises!! on Why Aircraft Carriers Still Rule the Oceans · · Score: 2

    This exchange is unacceptably civil for /.

    I appreciate the humility of "maybe I was a little over the top." The world would be better with more of that.

    I also love America, my country, for the reasons you cite (and others, of course), and agree that it is currently a bit dysfunctional. And, per our charter, it is up to We the People to change it. I shall endeavor to do my part and earn the respect you give to Americans.

    Good day, Sir or Madame.

  8. Re:A more important question... on First Steps With the Raspberry Pi · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A flavor of Android 2.3 is better then Debian???

  9. Re:Quick equation for you on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    -1 I don't get it.

    You said "Quick equation," but I don't see an equal sign.

  10. Re:Doesn't matter which. At least it's not PHP! on Six Python Web Frameworks Compared · · Score: 1

    Not learning PHP will likely save you from hanging yourself with an Ethernet cable in shame once you discover how thoroughly PHP mutilates you mind.

  11. Re:Kudos on Xamarin's First Mono Release - Proof of Life! · · Score: 1

    Kudos to the devs for persevering. Fuck all the zealot haters here.

    Why are you so rude to me, just because I hate zealots?

    And yes, kudos to the devs from this c# monkey.

  12. Re:How stable is that 2600 foot tower? on Massive Solar Tower Planned For Arizona · · Score: 1

    You know nothing.

    When the Big One comes, if it is San Andrea's Fault, the continental US is going to slide into the Atlantic!

    Running a buggy Flash app would be wasting 100% of its power, no matter how many cores are running.

  16. Lies within lies on Stuxnet Authors Made Key Errors · · Score: 1

    Who's to say Stuxnet was the only, or even the primary payload?

    Get out. Get out now.
    And leave your geek card at the door.
    AND stay off my lawn while you leave!

  18. I knew this 14yrs ago on Cutting Umbilical Cord Early Eliminates Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    This is rather old news.
    My son is almost 14. We had in our birth plan to leave the cord alone for a while so he would get the stem cells.
    Unfortunately, it was wrapped around his neck, and additionally tied in a true knot, so when he came out pale and lifeless, the doctor clamped it off and handed me the scissors.
    He turned out fine, BTW.

  19. Re:Or, how about... on Why Programmers Need To Learn Statistics · · Score: 1

    How about you just kill them all?

    How about option 4: They could just be stupid.

  21. Re:The only important thing to say on Open Source Software In the Military · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I appreciate your stance that war is immoral, but I must point out that this is not a universally held notion.

    Similarly, I appreciate the concept of non violent resistance, and think it is one of the bravest stances a person can take. However, I will choose to stand against fatigue-wearing bullies, whatever color their fatigues may be. And I choose to use the sharpest sword I can lay my hand on to do it.
