  1. Re:Feminist misandry at its finest on Do Women Write Better Code? · · Score: 1

    No. That is simply how Television represents feminism. Similar to saying you don't believe in the liberation of certain Islamic people because a few Islamic people are terrorists. Try going out into the real world and you will see all those myths about man-hating lesbians vanish.

  2. Essentialism on Do Women Write Better Code? · · Score: 1

    WTF? Is this the 1950s? This is a disgusting display of essentialism. Why not ask "Do blacks or chinese make better programmers than whites?" or maybe "Should women be allowed to leave the kitchen long enough to use a computer and learn to program?" It is very sad that such an educated community is still so apparently stuck in the 1950s.

  3. Re:Put in some perspective... on Venezuela's Contrarian TV Station Survives on YouTube · · Score: 1

    he was democratically elected.
    if 51% of people thought he was a fascist dictator would he have won a massive landslide election?
    the people who hate him the most are the select rich that wealth distribution is taking from.
    i guess robin hood, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, is a theif and should have been executed.
    hypothetically if you have 10 000 corrupt politicians and the only one who isnt corrupt is in power are term limits democratic?
    i would say that the people not being able to vote for the candidate they want is undemcratic.

  4. Missing Program on The Best Mac OS X Software Tools · · Score: 3, Informative

    How on earth did he not include Onyx? I'd probably say its top 5... http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html from the site: It allows you to run misc tasks of system maintenance, to configure certain hidden parameters of the Finder, Dock, Dashboard, Exposé, Safari, Login window and many Apple's applications, to delete cache, to remove a certain number of files and folders that may become cumbersome, to see the detailed info of your configuration, to preview the different logs and CrashReporter reports, to check the Preferences files and more. I would even go so far as to say it deserved to be number one...

  5. Connecticut on Connecticut Wants to Restrict Social Networking · · Score: 1

    Anyone else think it's a coincidence the state is called connect-icut?

  6. accidental on Why "Yahoo" Is The #1 Search Term On Google · · Score: 1

    sometimes i accidentally search on google for the word "google"... google is my default search in ie7 and sometimes in a drunken stupor i type "http://google" and internet explorer then realizes this isnt a domain so sends it to my default search engine so the page that follows is the google results for the word google. if i ever went to yahoo this might happen as well. sometimes when i'm even more drunk i goto google and start typing in the search box instead of the location/url bar so i google for something like "http://slashdot.org".. i could also see this boosting the word yahoo... because im assuming a lot of people are as afraid of sobriety as me.

  8. is it just me? on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 1

    is it just me or is ie7 the best browser ive ever used?
    the tab interface is slick, almost everything ALREADY works...
    security is apparently better... not to mention that it now has a phishing filter.
    its far faster in my experience than firefox...
    and the reset button is AWESOME! settings get screwed up, your homepage gets hijacked...
    just hit RESET and poof. back to factory defaults.
    who WOULDNT want a better browser?

    p.s. i cant read the word in the image... that is very poorly executed guys... and no im not a script.

  9. Re:They have a history on MySpace Down Due To Power Surge · · Score: 1

    maybe they should ask slashdot how its done

  10. 9 hours? ummm its been more like 36 on MySpace Down Due To Power Surge · · Score: 1

    ok that was 6:40pm pst on the 22nd. not last night... the post is a day late. yesterday myspace came back up with about 90% of the profiles working. later half the profiles stopped working, the rest were being displayed incorrectly. as of last night, about 24 hours after the initial downtime started profiles were working but all of the songs that people post on their sites were removed. it looks like that feature was completely disabled. its been down at least 30 hours. yes i would say incompetence is at play. i use the site a lot and its BUGGY as hell!!!! and yes i admit it... there are a lot of cute girls i know on that site :)

  11. Old News on Mars Rover Upgraded · · Score: 3, Informative

    I heard this reported on CBC radio SEVERAL months ago. I'm thinking it was febuary... The scientist they were interviewing was saying how hard it is to trust a robot to make the right decision even though they knew the algorithm they were using was pretty fool proof. Lets hear it for CBC radio!!!

  12. beginning of code on Judge Creates Own Da Vinci Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    i dont think that smith(y)code is a key, clue or anything else... i think of it more of an intro. this "puzzle" its a code by justice smith. i beleive that smith code is simply stating that "here is a code from smith" an intro so to speak
