Relax, it's SlashdotBeta at Work. "You can get more stuff that matters done with SlashdotBeta than any other tool that nerds know of" so we're bringing it to work.

"You can get more stuff done with Facebook than any other tool that we know of"

Sounds like a candidate. Let's use Facebook at Work for Linux startup management.

Kind of like how we all use the Lifestreams interface for our OS's http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/freeman/lifestreams.html with much improved workflow.

It's distinguishable from other plutonium, because it got here from 1985.

Lets say you're a traveling auto salesman, and you would like to sell your cars to different stores around the state. You could either drive each car, one at a time, to each assigned destination and hitchhike back to your starting point (always with a towel). Or you could come up with an algorithm for taking all the cars, putting them into a truck, and finding the shortest path that visits each auto store, saving gas and giving you the street credibility to comment on the appropriateness of OOP vs procedural languages. Then, after having spent a more fulfilling life than most people by being so efficient, you can watch as people invoke your name, and come up with a poor analogy which doesn't really explain OOP vs procedural languages that shows up on Slashdot.

Why aren't we? Because using ssh doesn't prevent people from posting their private keys to github and being shocked, outraged even, that their entire infrastructure is now compromised?

got 2x2 of every animal in my ship, global warming making the oceans rise. growing a beard. still my discussions with the architect of intelligent design were insistent that since I still see rainbows after it rains, the age covenant is still in effect. I need to find a lawyer, but there aren't any in libertarian fantasy land. otherwise I think I have it all figured out.

Without the government nanny state looking over our shoulders, we can crack open an egg and heat it in two seconds in our modified micrOMG it burns!!! Big brother, where art thou?

RTFA? Our ewe knew hear?

and car manufacturers. and tire makers. and big oil. and movies like fast and furious. doubly so when leaked early.

but only you, darkain, can prevent forest fires.

just tell Google to forget about these files. problem solved, right?

would you pay 1100.00 for a refrigerator without IoT or 900.00 with? how about car insurance for 800.00 a year without IoT or 500.00 a year with? and hey, how come himmy32's fridge never tells NYPD ^H^H^H^H aunt may what he's having for dinner? maybe he's storing something other than food, probable cause and defending society from malnourishment what not.

I wish I were so wrong.

not that you can actually search for these embarrassing photos
you'd have to be a follower to the UK police twitter feed, and who wants to admit to that?

It's a good thing no other computers or cell phones are made in totalitarian communist countries! I knew that Lemote Yeelong was a trojan horse, so I telnet to SELinux on my PDP-11 and use a dumb terminal for all my American computer needs. And I never compile anything, cause Ken Thompson and whatever.

Not that it would ever happen, but the idea of Tim Cook going to WWDC and pulling out the obvious pocketwatch plus a flip out Keyboard that does exactly the same thing as an iphone while still requiring an iphone to actually communicate makes me laugh. Bonus if it actually looks exactly like the Nokia twist.

I guess I'm laughing now, but the genius would be how the old school chain is replaced by some carbon fiber shape memory wire that makes yo-yoing more accessible for everyone.
