Yah, but how many people saw The Wolverine and thought the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki was WAY too small?

Trevon Martin protected his neighborhood from thugs? With Skittles?

Shit, look at what happened to the internet since Jon Postel was assassinated... :(

Oh, so like WinAmp? Gone after Dec 20, 2013.

// I'm one of the weirdos who still think it's the best and am gonna miss it. Just bought WinAmp for Android less than two months ago.

Uh, why would one want to run JavaScript on the server? Makes perfect sense in the browser for cross-browser compatibility, but on the server? Why would anyone but JavaScript purists want to do that?

In the .NET world it is C# on the server, JavaScript on the client, AJAX tying the two together - asynchronously.

This is as dumb as using the code-first model for Entity Framework - Just a crutch for people who don't want to learn what they need to learn.

V# should have been C#

OK, I might get fried for this, but I'm a daily VS2012 V#/MVC 4 Mobile web programmer and I have no clue what Node.js is all about or why they are excited about it.

I looked at the Nodejs.org site and have not a clue WTF it's supposed to do. Anyone got a translation of what in the hell their buzzspeak means?

"Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices."

What does it do that jQuery's async AJAX handlers do not? // Fully duh about it... Clue me please.

Re: Your sig is outdated:

It now says Computer or This Computer.

But it's NOT a criminal offense, you big dummy. It's an administrative citation, below a misdemeanor, definitely below a felony. A felony is required for something to be a literal criminal offense.

Educate yourself about the weird world of traffic law before spouting boot-licking nonsense.

When are we gonna get a Linux distro with the modern version of MonoDevelop.

Call it a trap all you want, it's still a dream of mine to write MVC 4 apps under Linux, using the most recent version of MonoDevelop.

...and instead, the Russians just used a pencil.

That's just what they want you to believe...

For some unknown reason, there's a been a recent upsurge in the old telnet-based BBS formerly at bbs.isca.uiowa.edu, now at bbs.iscabbs.com

People from way back are reconnecting again. No where near the 1,500 people who used to be on it in the pre-web days of the internet, but still cool to see +25 users on it again. And nobody knows why, just nostalgia I guess.

ISCA BBS is how I first found out about Slashdot. Damn it's been a long time!

On topic only because I used to get to it using PPP over dial-up back in the day. :)

Is this whole damn planet just gonna get stupid now? This is not at all what they showed us in Star Trek. Damn, 40 years ago we are putting people on the moon, now it's just global navel gazing from here on out. Yeee haaawww.

Fuck, we are screwed.
