  1. I'm sitting in my home office wearing a bathrobe. on Kernel Dev Tells Linus Torvalds To Stop Using Abusive Language · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Okay, that's nice. Do you talk that way to your wife while at home in your bathrobe? Your mother? Neighborhood children? It's not "fake politeness" to stop using abusive language, it's normal politeness. You're just being an asshole.

  2. Re:Full Tortilla source code on Open Source Tortilla For Tor To Be Released At Black Hat · · Score: 1

    Homemade tortillas taste so much better than the grocery-store bought variety. And they're so easy to make, but Mexican restaurants all use the store versions.

  3. Re:I'm amazed... on George Zimmerman Acquitted In Death of Trayvon Martin · · Score: 1

    The second time, the guy's rottweiler, which had been standing behind him, came across the parking lot and stood by me instead.

    You made it clear that you were Alpha, and the guy didn't disagree. The dog responded correctly.

    If you start a fight and then shoot someone because you are too much of a weakling to win the fight, you don't pull out a gun.

    Well, of course not. If you start a fight and then shoot someone, you obviously already have a gun in hand. I suppose if you're using a flintlock or wheel-lock you might pull out another gun.

  5. Re:Only 20? on eBay Dips Toes Into 3-D Printing Market With iOS App · · Score: 1

    Lack of good inputs.

    CAD software on an iPhone or iPad? Bleh.

  7. Re:Mod up parent!!! on The Savvy Tech Strategy Behind Obamacare · · Score: 1

    Now, were it to be renamed the Anti-Terrorism Immigration Marriage For the Children to Protect America Act, we might actually be able to move the ball forward...

    ATIMFCPAA is a terrible acronym. Ahtimpfkapahah?

  8. Re:I speak for all of us when I say on DHS Chief Janet Napolitano Resigns · · Score: 1

  9. Re:But ... But ... But ... on Energy Production Causes Big US Earthquakes · · Score: 1

    Being humble is a good thing. Richard Garriott told me so.

    I thought that was leftover mechanical heat, not nuclear fission.

  11. Re:everything for sale on Iris Scans Are the New School IDs · · Score: 1

    It's not like you can get a new iris.

    Are you kidding? You can a whole new head.

  12. Re:What are we doing to our children? on Iris Scans Are the New School IDs · · Score: 1

    "It's *safer* here."

  13. Re:You can't "prepare" to have a high IQ on Math and Science Popular With Students Until They Realize They're Hard · · Score: 1

    But you can prepare people with high IQ to fail in college by letting them coast through high school. I left physics because of the math (then ultimately settled on CS, which was worse math-wise).

  14. Re:Suggested name of the planet on First Exoplanet To Be Seen In Color Is Blue · · Score: 2

    It's in Vulpecula.
    I wonder if it's a good place for Androsynth.

    Let's enslave some and find out. Actually, let's not and say we did. I'd rather they didn't unleash Orz into *heavy space*.

  15. don't realize that information can be revealed... on Discovering NSA Code Names Via LinkedIn · · Score: 1

    Or those tools aren't secret. They're just not public knowledge.

  16. Re:PCs are not going to die. on PC Sales See 'Longest Decline' In History · · Score: 1

    Build a 24-32 core workstation now and call it a day. The cycle will revert to desktops again after several years.

  17. Re:the myosin tugs at sharper angles on 50-Year-Old Assumptions About Muscle Strength Tossed Aside · · Score: 3, Funny

    for me, there will only be one true troll ever, and he is HOSTS

    Then you'll be glad to hear they're back on track to making Twinkies again.

  18. What would a chef do? on Ask Slashdot: Development Requirements Change But Deadlines Do Not? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If a restaurant customer changes their mind while the chef is cooking their choice of meal, or maybe forget to request "no mushrooms" until 20 minutes after ordering, they may get the new dish, but they won't get it on time, and reasonable people understand that. Of course there are always unreasonable customers. Management reserves the right to not serve them.

  19. Re:Sweden and U.S. Relationship on Police, Copyright Industry Raid Movie Subtitle Fansite · · Score: 1

    He's wanted for posting classified US government materials, not copyrighted MPAA materials. If it were the latter, even the embassy housing him would have been raided.

  20. Re:When you ride at night, on Lead Developer of Yum Killed In Hit-and-run · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When you ride at night, wear lights. Unless you're going to the airport.

  21. Re:Makes sense on HTTP 2.0 Will Be a Binary Protocol · · Score: 1

    It's missing on new Linux distros too. With good reason in Lin/Win worlds, but it is a hassle to pause your thought processes while you take a short install break.

  22. Re:Money well spent on Inside the Electronic Frontier Foundation · · Score: 1

    Libertarians are to Anarchists what nudists are to naked people. Libertarians and nudists are both just middle-class and well organized.

    Anarchists are to nudists what wild-men are to naked people. Anarchists are organized for the purpose of returning responsibility to the individual absolutely, as if everyone was growing up alone in the jungle like Tarzan or Mowgli
    Libertarians are to swimsuit models as anarchists are to nudists. Neither wants a lot of government (clothes), but one group wants none whatsoever. Libertarians don't want to abolish Federal or State Constitutions. Anarchists do.

  23. What super top secret stuff do they do? on Got Malware? Get a Hammer! · · Score: 1

    That's hardcore paranoia. Are they an three letter agency front, or have they been pulling some hijinks?
