  1. Quiz on Perl Data Language 2.4.10 released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Fill in the missing word.
    PDL: the computational power of Matlab, octave, IDL and NumPy with the __________ of Perl!

  2. Re:Before any jokes appear on Firefox 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Ah, it's always good to have software that helps you exercising in modular arithmetics --- quick, tell me, is Firefox 59 an ESR or not?

  3. Re:Doesn't sound THAT useful on Faster-Than-Fast Fourier Transform · · Score: 2

    The complexity of FFT is O(n\log n).

  4. Re:Doesn't sound THAT useful on Faster-Than-Fast Fourier Transform · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but a big-O improvement may do you no good if you only need n=8...

  5. Shocking on OpenStreetMap Reports Data Vandalism From Google-Owned IPs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Disconcerting. What next now, Norton producing viruses?

  6. Re:Listen to WWV in North America on Leap Second Coming In June, 2012 · · Score: 1

    Are you sure? June 30th is Saturday, so it should be a Friday night. Unless I am miscounting some leap day in between...

  7. Re:Excellent on Linux Mint Developer Forks Gnome 3 · · Score: 1

    Agree. Mint and Cinnamon together? Yuck!

  8. Gem #1 on Linux Advent Calendar: "24 Outstanding ZSH Gems" · · Score: -1, Troll

    Gem #1: someone still uses ZSH.

  9. Re:Some, not all of Honeycomb up for tagging (mayb on Android Ice Cream Sandwich Source Released · · Score: 1

    The same applies to code comments, so let's filter out all comments before releasing the source!

  10. Re:Dilute the results on Google Starts Indexing Facebook Comments · · Score: 1

    Nope - that excludes all pages that contain the word Facebook. Such as this page, or any page with a discreet "add this on Facebook" button at the end. Definitely a different kettle of fish.

  11. Low cost!?! on Paper-Based Explosives Sensor Made Using an Inkjet · · Score: 2

    Low cost!?! Have these guys ever tried buying a new ink cartridge for an ink jet printer?

  12. Re:While this one won't work, others do have a cha on 1 MW Cold Fusion Plant Supposedly To Come Online · · Score: 1

    I agree completely, but I must add that we're presently going in the opposite direction, since shutting down nuclear power plants after the Fukushima catastrophe will soon lead to energy scarcity and price increases.

  13. Re:Quorum looks a lot like Pascal on Is Perl Better Than a Randomly Generated Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    Python is legal to marry. Wikipedia says it first appeared in 1991, so it's 20 years old by now.

  14. Re:Still using FAT? on Fat Replaces Oil In F-16s · · Score: 1

    How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

  15. Still using FAT? on Fat Replaces Oil In F-16s · · Score: 5, Funny

    Everyone should've switched to NTFS by now...

  17. Re:I want a Good Astronomer on Comet Nearly Hit Earth? Not So Fast · · Score: 2

    It's like wine. How about some fresh wine. And bring me those finger sandwiches you talked me out of!

    Hey, we said astronomy, not gastronomy!

  18. Re:What Does This Mean? on Pi Computed To 10 Trillion Digits · · Score: 2

    You can switch to German to solve this problem.

  19. Re:End of the reboot? on HP To Introduce Flash Memory Replacement In 2013 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I assume, then, that you never shut your computer down for the night. Or for the weekend.

    I turn my computer on for the night and the weekend*.

    * you insensitive clod!

  20. Re:MS Ribbon... on Microsoft-Skype Deal Poised To Win EU Approval · · Score: 1

    The "ribbon" in Office is the solution to menus becoming too large to be manageable for Joe User. Skype does not have that problem (yet).

  21. Re:The subject is the article I'm responding to on Iran Blocks VPN Ports · · Score: 1

    You forgot the "in soviet Russia" part.

  22. Re:Translated using google translate on The Mythical Tunnel Between CERN and Central Italy · · Score: 1

    +1. And let me add that the relative pronoun "which" is singular in the Italian original, so you can be 100% sure that the relative clause refers to the tunnel (singular) and not to the labs (plural). (IAANativeItalianSpeaker).

  23. Re:Ask Slahdot: Calculators with Rotary Dial? on Ask Slashdot: Calculators With 1-2-3 Number Pads? · · Score: 1

    Steve Jobs, is that you?

  24. Re:Publisher? on An FPS Minus the Shooting · · Score: 5, Funny

    Substitute [...] Pokémon poses for battlefield atrocities and you're there or thereabouts.

    I'd rather take the battlefield atrocities, thanks.

  25. Re:Todd Rider on New Drug Could Cure Nearly Any Viral Infection · · Score: 2

    The combination of the two fields triggers my "possible crackpot" alert. Plus the fact that googling for "Todd Rider" returns Wikipedia and pop-sci articles, but no "real" scientific publications. Can anyone in the field comment on the credibility/reputation of Dr. Rider? I don't intend to be offensive, maybe he's really a top guy in the field, it's just that both claims are quite bold and I'd be happy to get some external confirmation.
