    Yeah, everyone knows the Smith and Wesson model 29 is the best for shooting people's faces

  2. Re:It's Constitution, stupid ! on New York Passes Landmark Gun Law · · Score: 1

    Except for the part about "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". I'm sure that in 1700s the word "people" meant "Federal and State armies"...

  3. lost me on Doom 3 Source Code: Beautiful · · Score: 3, Interesting

    after the first three conclusions, and i stopped reading so i can't speak for the rest. should be: 1.) const as appropriate, not "const everything possible". const can fuck you hard in OOP if you use it wrong, 2.) you can never have too many comments, and 3.) tight vertical spacing is archaic and stupid, unless absolutely necessary for some display reason

    if this guy was interviewing here and mentioned all the things in his article, i probably wouldn't hire him. too much "religion", as it were, which is a huge red flag for me because it's usually masking something...

    To people like that, "ample evidence" just means they heard it from some lady in the supermarket checkout line who doesn't even have kids...

  10. Re:Not easy on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Explain To a Coworker That He Writes Bad Code? · · Score: 2

    People are very proud of their work, and do not take criticism well.

    Ammendment: insecure people do not take criticism well. I find the best play in this situation is to appeal to their ego and do a little misdirection like, "Man your code is really good, but I'm finding it a bit hard to follow, like in this example..." The trick is to insinuate that the flaw is with you, and he would be your hero if he could write functional code AND make it easier for the peons to work with. Everyone likes feeling the hero, even if they're really the ass...

  11. Re:Mommy... on Newspaper That Published Gun-Owners List Hires Armed Guards · · Score: 1

    Except the Constitution doesn't enumerate citizen rights, it limits Congress's abilities. So I think what you mean to say is that there is an amendment that specifically prohibits Congress from taking our guns.

  12. Re:The Adevntures of Ferrari Man! on The Copyright Battle Over Custom-Built Batmobiles · · Score: 2

    It's just like clothing. You can't copyright a clothing design, but you can copyright the artwork on it. I can make as many replicas of a $1000 Dolce and Gabbana shirt that I want and sell them for $10 as long as I don't brand them with "Dolce and Gabbana", and it's fair game. But I can't make a t-shirt with a Battlestar Galactica logo and sell it. So in this case, I think he should be allowed to make the car, but he can't put a Batman logo on it without a license...

    There also isn't any, to my knowledge, reversible sterilization where the initial sterilization has a reasonable certainty it will be successful and the reversal has an equal chance to be reversed.

    Star Trek and Doctor Who seem to fit the criteria.

    Scarier yet, once this is all automated the advertisement might show up within minutes after taking the picture, while you're still at the restaurant.

  17. Re:Yay on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    I could argue that a car or a bomb are significantly more efficient ways to administer death. Until we figure out why our biology/society produces psychopaths, and how to treat it, it's just another cat-and-mouse game...

    Yeah, but you're paying for the bandwidth, and they're wasting it. So really they should be sending you a check to offset the cost of their intrusion every time they do it...

  19. Re:Yay on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    You're missing the point. The question is "why are there so many nutjobs?", not "why are there so many guns?" You can take away all the guns you want, but that doesn't solve the problem of the nutjobs. Those nutjobs will just find another way to kill people. As a society we need to find out why nutjobs like this aren't getting the medical help they need. Why are some people driven to commit acts like this, and what can we do as a society to remedy the root cause? The guns are not the cause, they are just a tool. I don't think anyone has ever touched a gun for the first time and been instantly transformed into Evil. There is another psychological/sociological cause that we need to figure out...

  25. Re:Paying taxes on Ask Slashdot: Will You Shop Local Like President Obama, Or Online? · · Score: 2

    Whereas I prefer to shop from companies who actually contribute back to the local economy by paying their taxes and not stashing them away in tax havens. If companies have sociopathic policies I try to avoid them.

    I can argue that purchasing from Amazon saves me money, money which can then be used to buy extra stuff at local school functions, charities, etc... which helps the community even more than giving more money to one local business-owner. Sociopathic companies is a different matter, but I agree with you on that point.
