  1. Humans on Why Your Software Project Is Failing · · Score: 1

    Software development seems to be riddled with arrogant know nothings who think they can cut corners or reinvent the wheel...

    That's a problem with human nature, not just devs. We are not Vulcans. Humans are impatient, egotistical, fixate on the wrong factors, and often just plain random; and most don't know it or care.

    I know some well-educated people who are complete idiots outside of their narrow specialty. I'm probably an idiot also in ways I don't even realize (please don't educate me in replies). My head-model of the world is perfectly logical and consistent to me, but it's probably highly lossy against the real world.

    Gee, it's almost as if we are merely upright apes who happen to be able to talk and write. (I would have said "hairless", but I'm hairier than the orangutans I see in the zoo.) They fling poo, we fling nukes.

  2. The Register on DHI Group Inc. Announces Plans to Sell Slashdot Media · · Score: 1

    Why not The Register? Sarcasm is their biz such that they may be able to tolerate being trashed by nerds....and enjoy shooting back.

  3. Re:It's not even a fucking article on Andromeda Galaxy's Secrets Revealed By Going Beyond Visible Light · · Score: 1

    You just can't see the quality because it's in ultraviolet light. Feeble humans.

  4. Re:Dogs? Wild Dogs? on Voyager's Golden Record For Aliens Now Available On SoundCloud · · Score: 1

    or worse, a Trump speech

  5. Re:If only we'd known on Voyager's Golden Record For Aliens Now Available On SoundCloud · · Score: 3, Funny

    We could've just engraved a URL onto the side of each Voyager.

    A pop-up ad could offend them enough to annihilate us

  6. Damn aliens! on Voyager's Golden Record For Aliens Now Available On SoundCloud · · Score: 1
  7. Re:Correlation and causation are for cows. on Computer Science Enrollments Match NASDAQ's Rises and Fall · · Score: 1

    I'm a spherical cow. I say "roolllin' roolllin'", not "moo moo"

  8. Tablizer's Bubble Rule on Computer Science Enrollments Match NASDAQ's Rises and Fall · · Score: 1

    "If there is constant debate about whether we are currently in a bubble, we are probably in a bubble."

  9. Don't need STEM gimmicks, just normal capitalism on Computer Science Enrollments Match NASDAQ's Rises and Fall · · Score: 1

    Supply-and-demand works, who knew.

  10. Disappear without warning? on Gmail Messages Can Now Self-Destruct · · Score: 2

    I already have this feature, it's called "Comcast"

  11. My plan on Tortoise Gets a new 3D Printed Shell After Forest Fire · · Score: 1

    I want one also. And I want to be ninja, and hang out around Fukushima.

  12. Two DMCA lawyers walk into a bar on Twitter Yanks Tweets That Repeat Copyrighted Joke · · Score: 2

    Sorry, I can't tell you the rest, it's been redacted

  13. nothing can go wrong on How Amazon Could Drive Blended Reality Into The Living Room · · Score: 1

    "Look ma, I'm wearing Spam!"

  14. Shaq's bigger brother on Pluto's Haze · · Score: 1

    Jupiter would be able to mug and beat the shit out of everybody, including Saturn. Pluto may have an advantage in being too small to notice among the carnage.

  15. Re:Wow... on Pluto's Haze · · Score: 1

    Did Clockwork Orange merge with Scientology?

  16. Re:During Pluto's day - how light is it? on Pluto's Haze · · Score: 1

    Site also has Pluto data rates; takes forever to load.

  17. Best explanation so far on Pluto's Haze · · Score: 2

    The best explanation I've read for the youth of the surface is that Pluto's elliptical orbit results in a heat-and-cool cycle that pumps semi-liquid and/or soft frozen gasses around.

    The relative densities between different materials changes during the near/far cycle, causing push-pull action that gradually squeezes and pumps shit around.

  18. Re:I work in this field. on Criminal Inquiry Sought Over Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server · · Score: 1

    Hillary's actions were legal at the time and followed all the rules...They were also unethical.

    Every viable candidate has suspect histories. Our system filters out the truly honest.

    Maybe that's partly a good thing. Honest politicians may be shitty negotiators. My honesty during job interviews usually backfired. Via the hard way, I learned that spinning works.

  19. Re:NASA please upgrade your stuff on Pluto's Haze · · Score: 1

    If you don't show appreciation, you deserve Comcast

  20. Re:Likely misdemeanor mishandling of classified in on Criminal Inquiry Sought Over Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server · · Score: 1

    I've seen no evidence the subpena said unconditionally "all", at least not after the fact.

    Those details are important in code AND law. "Sorry, Judge, I forgot the WHERE clause in my SQL when reading the law".

  21. Re:Choice. Dead. on FCC Approves AT&T's DirecTV Purchase · · Score: 3, Funny

    with Comcast, it takes 3 days of downloading before you can tell they are maggots.

  22. Re:I work in this field. on Criminal Inquiry Sought Over Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'm guessing...

    There's your first problem.

  23. Re:Likely misdemeanor mishandling of classified in on Criminal Inquiry Sought Over Hillary Clinton's Personal Email Server · · Score: 1

    What EXACTLY is the object or thing or noun that she WILLFULLY "concealed, removed, mutilated, obliterated, or destroyed"?

    To make a case, you have to identify at least one clear-cut object/instance.

    If you find one that she she may have forgotten to CC the right reviewers, she could claim it was forgetfulness.

    You'd have to show that she "forgot" often, or intentionally plotted to skip the proper CC.

    I expect better details from slashdot nerds than one gets on a general political forum, where non-nerds process slogans and impressions directly to make conclusions instead of solid logic backed by reference-able details.

  24. Choice. Dead. on FCC Approves AT&T's DirecTV Purchase · · Score: 5, Informative

    We were looking at going with DirectTV to get away from AT&T, because AT&T sucks rotting puss-filled maggot carcases on a good day.

    There goes that plan.
