  1. Oh wow. on Intel To Offer CPU Upgrades Via Software · · Score: 0

    After many years of waiting, it looks like I can finally download Megahertz.

  2. Python on For Automated Testing, Better Alternatives To DOS Batch Files? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Python is my scripting language of choice because it's easy to use and it has it's own "os" module that you can use to launch commands and the like, not to mention the "glob" module, which can grab all file names in a given directory into an array. I highly recommend it. (2.6)

  3. I'm all for this on Breakthroughs In HTML Audio Via Manipulation With JavaScript · · Score: 0, Troll

    The quicker we can get away from our reliance on that god awful Quicktime, the better.

  4. Re:"...delayed for at least a few minutes longer.. on Cutting Umbilical Cord Early Eliminates Stem Cells · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The standard procedure, perhaps?

  5. Awesome on Work Underway To Return Xen Support To Fedora 13 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The Vortigaunts shall be pleased that Fedora 13 supports their home world in an alternate dimension.

  6. Re:Welcome on UC Berkeley Asking Incoming Students For DNA · · Score: 1

    Who ever said the nurse was a she?

  7. Re:Huh? on Taylor Momsen Did Not Write This Slashdot Headline · · Score: 1

    Awesome, I was born in 1983. I feel young again, thanks!

  8. Re:Sounds to me... on Steve Jobs Says PC Folks' World Is Slipping Away · · Score: 1

    what have you done that's so great? Do you create anything, or just criticize others work and belittle their motivations?

    What a complete asshole who thinks he's so much better than everyone else.

    Heh, that quote reminds me of Dr. Breen from Half-Life 2:

    Tell me, Dr. Freeman, if you can. You have destroyed so much. What is it, exactly, that you have created? Can you name even one thing? I thought not.

  9. Re:Doesn't Matter if Throttled on 7Gbps Wi-Fi Networking Kit Could Launch In 2010 · · Score: 1

    It matters if you use a lot of LAN bandwidth like file sharing or streaming HD content.

  10. Re:dont be a douche on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    You need to actually add br HTML tags to insert carriage returns.

  11. Re:dont be a douche on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    As someone who has it (and who's been professionally diagnosed), I can say that at times, it does feel like some sort of black art. While you guys develop decent social skills naturally, we have to really work at it, mainly through a lot of trial and error. Also note that careers that require a very high level of logical thinking tend to have more people with Aspergers than other careers (since, well, that's how our brains are wired, really)

  12. Re:dont be a douche on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    Socialization isn't some BlackArt.

    What if you have Aspergers?

  13. Re:Civ was my offline game on Civilization V To Use Steamworks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I've use Steam, and not once have I ever had an issue with it. their download/DRM model works rather well and isn't nearly as bad as say, Ubisoft's. I mean, their whole business model is what has made the platform so successful in the first place, so I wouldn't worry about CIV V being on Steam.

  14. Re:Question: sustaining life v forming on Microbial Life Found In Trinidadian Hydrocarbon Lake · · Score: 1, Interesting

    or perhaps the primordial soup was more closely related to the newly discovered organisms and most of them evolved to the water loving organisms we all know and love today.

  15. Re:Some food for thought on Larry Sanger Tells FBI Wikipedia Distributes "Child Pornography" · · Score: 0

    You obviously don't know what the definition of pedophile is.

  16. Re:Some food for thought on Larry Sanger Tells FBI Wikipedia Distributes "Child Pornography" · · Score: 0

    Let's try something harder. Your 16 yo daughter take her own picture doing a sensual pose, perhaps showing her breasts, using her own cellphone. She passes this picture to a friend of hers using SMS/text messages, which passes to another friend, which then passes it to the same suspected pedophile of the above case.

    A pedophile wouldn't be interested in a 16 year old girl...

  17. Like they always say... on Largest Sodium Sulfur Battery Powers a Texas Town · · Score: 0

    Everything is bigger in Texas...

  18. Poor wifi isn't the only major issue. on iPad Progress Report · · Score: 0

  19. Re:No tab completion! on XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface · · Score: 1, Informative

    Which is why you run it through this.

  20. and the greatest thing about this? on First Collisions At the LHC · · Score: 0

    We're still here. :)

  21. Re:As someone who was better than average... on BC Prof Suggests Young Children Need Less Formal Math, Not More · · Score: 0

    We already are using the lowest common denominator enough

    The lowest common what?

  22. Re:Insanity on Court Says Parents Can Block PA "Sexting" Prosecutions · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hell, we even had sex like every other teenager does.

    I never had sex as a teen, you insensitive clod!

  23. Re:H.264 on Microsoft Previews IE9 — HTML5, SVG, Fast JS · · Score: 0, Interesting

    It was IE6. I'm not even too certain if IE5 even HAD png support.
