  2. Re:Stop multi-tasking! on Carmakers Prepare For Augmented Reality Driving · · Score: 4, Funny

    You have a wife too?

  3. Re:Indians will appreciate your docs on How To Get Developers To Document Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    And in our end-of-year special: "Why do my Indian offshore partners send back code that has Chinese comments in them?"

  4. Re:Story time on "Learn To Code, Get a Job" According To CNN · · Score: 1

    I'm a martial arts instructor.

    I can show how to write a conditional loop, maybe teach what a class is, talk about different kinds of variables...

    The code-fu is strong with this one. I hope one day you use your skills for 'good'. That means dressing up in costumes at night and fighting crimes against software, with a band of ninja code reviewers at your side using powerbooks and ipads as your weapons. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlenecks, oh yeah.

    Write Java. (...like a boss!)
    Do some sales. (...like a boss!)
    Force it down your throat...

  6. Re:so on Gut Bacteria Can Control Diabetes · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, you can transplant human gut bacteria to treat disease. It's called Fecal Bacteriotherapy. It's a procedure carried out under the supervision of a doctor where you put a donor's shit up your ass. Unappealing certainly, but at least it's not 2girls1cup style.

  7. Re:Here coems the next one on Iran Developing 'Halal' Domestic Intranet · · Score: 1

    They kind of tried a little bit already and got totally stomped on.

  8. Great on Chile Forbids Carriers From Selling Network-Locked Phones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This will increase competition between providers as consumers can move to the best deals a little bit more easily. Hopefully other countries will follow suit, but I doubt it.

  9. Re:Cited in, not cited as the cause of. on Facebook a Factor in a Third of UK Divorces · · Score: 1

    At first I thought the summary was to blame

    Sometimes it is. It's why cmdrtaco is living off child maintenance somewhere.

  10. Re: Binary is the way to go.... on Christmas Always On Sunday? Researchers Propose New Calendar · · Score: 1

    It may be inconsistent but I'm prepared to go to war with your country over thumb-first counting. Burn inifidels!

    Ooops, you'll hit a problem when you get to 4 (00100).

  12. Re:FWD: Cute Kittens!!! on Kim Jong-Il Was an "Internet Expert" · · Score: 2

    In North Korea, only Dear old people use email.

  13. Re:Also greatest golfer who ever lived on Kim Jong-Il Was an "Internet Expert" · · Score: 2

    I hear he shot a 17 on an 18 hole course once while dying peacefully in his sleep .

    Why do you think free speech is good for the humankind, overally

    The best thing about free speech is getting to make up your own words.

  15. Re:North Korean State television Says... on North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Il Dead at 70 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Kim Jong Il died peacefully in his sleep while jumping seventeen double-decker buses on his Harley and juggling fire-breathing monkeys.

    What a guy. Chuck Norris would be proud.

  16. Re:Not all religions are bad on Christopher Hitchens Dies At 62 · · Score: 0

    Religious much?

  17. Re:Cheaper on Clothier Slammed For Using 'Perfect' Virtual Model · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, that's not strictly true. There has been a backlash against skinnier male mannequins and you do see them in some clothing stores. I blame the emos.

  18. Re:This is good on Reverse Robocall Turns Tables On Politicians · · Score: 1

    Disconnect your landline and set up a whitelist on your cell phone:

    There's an equivalent for jailbroken iphones too.

    You'll end up just as jaded as you are here on Earth. All I see is Orange, Greenette, Purplehead...

    Here's what they say they want...

  21. Re:Outside of the code, all documentation is worth on Institutional Memory and Reverse Smuggling · · Score: 1

    These documents are then stored on the LAN. To never, or rarely ever, be read again.

    These systems almost always exist as a due diligence cover my ass exercise for upper management. Mistakes are inevitable as you very astutely point out, however you didn't document that it might be a possibility. Management is covered because they signed off on only what you documented. The mistake is yours and yours alone, you get marked down on your year end review, management is unscathed and everything continues as normal.

  22. Re:Wow on FBI Scolds NASDAQ Over Out of Date Patches · · Score: 0

    Valve makes a nice percentage for every single transaction that happens on Steam, and yet they can't hire a competent IT department.

  23. Re:HAARP on Ask Slashdot: Science Sights To See? · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing then that you have got a few hundred thousand years until you need to worry.

  24. Re:Might have the opposite effect on Mario's Raccoon Suit Enrages PETA · · Score: 1

    Kaiten-Kitten. Cats on a conveyor belt are far more tasty.

  25. Re:Oh Please No on Ask Slashdot: Physical Input Devices For Developers? · · Score: 1

    Speaking of which, ipads are used quite well in Music Sequencing software. Check out touchOSC.

    You can turn the ipad into a custom control device connected to your PC via wifi.
