  1. That sounds ominous on Google 'Rethinking Everything' Around Machine Learning (itworld.com) · · Score: 1

    'Machine learning is a core, transformative way by which we're rethinking everything we're doing,'

    Sounds more like the machines are the ones that will be doing more of the learning and/or thinking.

  2. *Demands* from Congress? on Google, Facebook, Microsoft Deliver K-12 CS Demands To Congress (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    How about this: we'll trade you.

  3. Re:What's with this headline? on Should Japan Restart More Nuclear Power Plants? (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 1

    What's with this headline?

    • Betteridge doesn't apply
    • Betteridge applies
    • Editors are being lazy again
    • Clickbait
    • Oh no its Bennett
    • CowboyNeal
  4. Re:Remove casing from a Wallmart clock - get invit on 'Clock Kid' Ahmed Mohamed and His Family To Leave US, Move To Qatar · · Score: 2

    I was extremely careful about it, but that didn't stop her from issuing an ultimatum: re-assemble it into full working order, or get my ass beat into oblivion. I had three minutes to spare once I demonstrated it's functionality to her satisfaction.

    In one sentence, you managed to beat out every bomb-defusing scene in every movie I've ever watched. Sir, I would like to buy the rights to your story and make it into a short film :-)

  5. Re:Because evolution doesn't exist on 3D-Printed Teeth Can Kill 99% of Dental Bacteria (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    After all, there's no real advantage to taking over a nice warm, wet, mobile and highly interacting environment that accounts for a large percentage of the entire planet's land mammal biomass.

    Besides the obvious, it also has a much larger-scale strategic and geopolitical importance.

  6. Re:More research on US Will Clean Area In Spain Where Hydrogen Bombs Fell (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Just add some tobacco crops! Or, we could bring the concept forward into the 21st century, and make potannabis, and subsequently chips from those -- 'They're the mellow munchy!'

  7. Re:It all goes back to ... karma on Documents Expose the Inner Workings of Obama's Drone Wars · · Score: 1

    I rather be bitten by the most poisonous snakes ever existed than trust any of the words that came out of Obama's mouth

    It has nothing to do with race, gender, or party affiliation, it has everything to do with the way Obama has behaved

    Well, sure, now that Obamacare is available. In your situation, it would be even better if he had pushed it in Australia.

  8. Re:That Sounds Like Fun on Machine Learning Generates Clickbait Headlines That Will Shock You! (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Fun parody song, would upvote again.

  9. Unfortunately, it stopped there on China's Flash Consumption Grows To 30%; 8TB SSDs Are Coming (computerworld.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    It showed great growth up to 30%, but then it went back to the beginning and started overwriting itself.

  10. Re:Going out of business ... on Playboy Drops Nudity As Internet Fills Demand · · Score: 1

    It's been a good run, Playboy, but I guess you're more likely to go the way of the dinosaur, if you stick to this plan of action.

    It's possible that's what they're actually going for.

  11. Muslims in Jersey? on Court: Lawsuit Over NYPD Surveillance of Muslims Can Proceed (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    The lawsuit claims that surveillance of Muslim people in New Jersey discriminated against them due to their religion.

    What would a Jersey Muslim sound like?

  12. Re:Going out of business ... on Playboy Drops Nudity As Internet Fills Demand · · Score: 1

    At that point, get a Victoria's Secret catalog.

    I dunno -- I was never much of a fan of their articles.

  13. Re:They all suck on Ask Slashdot: Selecting a Version Control System For an Inexperienced Team · · Score: 1

    Well that's your problem -- you should have been using Perforce.

  14. "I worry about Jeff Bezos' bizarre obsession with dinosaur sex,"

    I'm starting to forget when a statement like this was never even contextually apropos, much less relevant to the topic, in a semi-mainstream news story. The times, they are a-getting unidentifiable.

  15. Re:Academia is willing to protect total dicks on How Academia Still Struggles With Sexual Harassment (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    If they say stop, you fucking stop.

    Interestingly, the codes of conduct for fan conventions are the venues I've seen which state this almost completely unambiguously and with the most clarity.

  16. Re:Academia is willing to protect total dicks on How Academia Still Struggles With Sexual Harassment (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 2

    "Should a man hold a door open for a woman?"

    I bet the answer is the same as "Does this dress make me look fat?" :-)

  17. Double-edged sword? on EFF: the Final Leaked TPP Text Is All That We Feared (eff.org) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Since this weakens the public domain and strengthens rights for rightsholders, does it comparably strengthen the case for copyleft? How/would this change FOSS promotion and/or adoption strategies?

  18. It leads into the next poll: "After reading the headline did you mentally tack on, 'Dun dun duuuunnnnnn!!!!'"

  19. I wondered about this on Debian Dropping Linux Standard Base (lwn.net) · · Score: 1

    Debian's Filesystem Hierarchy Standard predated the LSB for quite a while. I kind of wondered if they would be able to make the two match, and why LSB didn't just pick that up and use it, considering it had been in place for so long.

  20. Re:Liberal Arts? on Prison Debate Team Beats Harvard's National Title Winners · · Score: 1

    Do they also teach them how to cook? That seems like it will be useful when they apply their degree to their McDonalds' job.

    They cook at McDonald's?

  21. Re:Outside factors on Prison Debate Team Beats Harvard's National Title Winners · · Score: 1

    After all, they heartily approve of forcing taxpayers to pay for free schooling that teaches illegal alien kids that America is evil & racist while failing to teach them English, because English literacy == racism. After all, they go to private prep schools and don't have to see any of those kids, so it's all well and good if the the lower classes have to put up with them.

    Plus, by losing to the prison debate team, they demonstrated that a reformatory rather than punitive agenda in incarceration can work. Win-win!

  22. Re:Good for them on Prison Debate Team Beats Harvard's National Title Winners · · Score: 5, Funny

    Get admitted to a university in Germany? So ... drive under 100kph on the Autobahn and be vegetarian and designated driver during Oktoberfest? I think those are crimes there.

  23. Re:Back in July - of 2013! on Linux Kernel Dev Sarah Sharp Quits, Citing 'Brutal' Communications Style · · Score: 1

    Is this behavior an example of 'brogrammer' culture? Or does that term refer to something else?

  24. Re:How is it malware then? on Vigilante Malware Protects Routers Against Other Security Threats · · Score: 4, Funny

    Exactly how many dishes and how long have they been sitting in the sink?

  25. Are there alternative ebook reader apps you can load on the device that will index ebooks from the SD card? Do you have to root the device first to load other apps on it?
