    Single letters make a difference there too: It's "Moronism".

  4. Re:Too much money$$$ on Top-Secret US Replica of Iran Nuclear Sites Key To Weapons Deal · · Score: 2

    US government probably spent WAY more money building those replicas than Iran spent building the real thing.

    No, to cut costs they outsourced it to India, which outsourced it to Elbonia, which then outsourced it to Iran.

  7. "My bad" on Why There Is No Such Thing as 'Proper English' · · Score: 2

    One manager was really bothered by "my bad", which used to be "my mistake". He called it "gang slang". "My bad" has slipped into common usage it seems to me. I'll avoid it around him, but he came across as a fuddy-duddy. He should be thankful people admit their mistakes, something uncommon around here.

  8. Re:the Space Age is over on Russia Abandons Super-Rocket Designed To Compete With SLS · · Score: 1

    Fight over scraps, stupid hairless monkeys

    Hey, I am not hairless, Gorn!

  9. Chunkatize to Commoditize. on Russia Abandons Super-Rocket Designed To Compete With SLS · · Score: 1

    waste billions on an inefficient rocket for which there is no commercial demand -- as NASA is doing with SLS (under orders from a wasteful Congress)

    Putin is indeed cocky, but our Congress takes the cake.

    Why do we have to launch big loads all at once? Launch a booster first, and then have the payload rendezvous with it in orbit. It may take some R&D and practice to get right, but it seems the more logical way to handle big projects instead of supporting bigass rockets and launch platforms that are not used enough to pay their rent.

    Plus, having a spare in place is easier with commodity rockets.

  10. Tables hold up better under stress on Microsoft Has Received 1 Million Pieces of Feedback For Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    I'm using Windows 7 and sometimes I see goofy overlaps also on slashdot. CSS positioning sucks, I have concluded.

    Bring Tables back. Nobody ever gets CSS positioning right. I've seen just about every big web company F them up. Tables "degrade" better. (And I'm not just saying that because of my handle).

  11. Re:start by not going flat win 2.0 icons on Microsoft Has Received 1 Million Pieces of Feedback For Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    The steamroller look has steamrolled the industry.

  12. "Feedback" on Microsoft Has Received 1 Million Pieces of Feedback For Windows 10 · · Score: 2

    Oh, I always give tons of feedback when using Windows. But I am polite enough not to save it.

  15. Re:Let's split some hairs here on these words on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 1

    Social awareness can be objectively measured and analyzed to a fair extent. But, you didn't do any of that, expecting the reader to just take your word for it. I expect more specifics from Slashdot readers. Notion-y impressionistic debates one can get from the non-educated.

    And it's not about just "one reason", it's about a non-IT-expert balancing tradeoffs (real or perceived) of multiple factors. A decision like that rarely considers JUST one factor.

  16. In other news... on Homeopathy Turns Out To Be Useless For Treating Medical Conditions · · Score: 1

    ...the Earth is not flat.

  17. Re:Let's split some hairs here on these words on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 1

    I think what you have is the ability to rationalize what you like by hiding it behind vague, unverifiable notions such as "common sense". Good Day, Sir.

  18. Re:What will they think of next? on Knock-Off Apple Watches Hit the Chinese Market Less Than 24 Hours After Launch · · Score: 1

    No, that's Slashdud

  19. Re:Let's split some hairs here on these words on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 1

    I'm guess I'm just too much of the Asperger type: I think in terms of logic, analytical reductionism, and the scientific process.

    If "common sense" is the kind that kind thing that tells one which Kardashian sister is more fashionable, then I indeed lack it.

  20. Re:Let's split some hairs here on these words on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 1

    No, I don't know why you classify it as "common sense". I have no clue as to what computations or logic steps your brain takes to classify and/or conclude such is "common sense".

    I would note that web searches of "common sense" don't turn up anything definitive, just definitions that depend on other vague words, or widely varying opinions about how common sense comes about and what it is in terms of a body of knowledge. It seems a fuzzy, overloaded, and objective term.

    I suggest you philosophize more about "common sense" if you want to communicate your usage of it here.

  21. Re:Let's split some hairs here on these words on Clinton Regrets, But Defends, Use of Family Email Server · · Score: 1

    Well, how can we objectively measure what is "common sense" for this little debate here?

    Where does "common sense" originate from regarding email and servers and organization IT tendencies and hacker behavior, abilities, trends, etc?

  22. Damn, everything's on the Interwebs. Should've known: in the late 90's I once googled (Lycosed?) "Lego porn" as a joke (honestly), and was surprised to find it existed.

    That's okay, traditional watch makers can just switch to making mechanical smart-phones, a wide open niche.

    Sorry, I'm not fully understanding your point. Understanding the difference between such in terms of ownership; and understanding the trade-offs in terms of law, loss-risk, hackers, etc. are different levels of understanding and domain knowledge.
