Comment Re:Not this shit again (Score 1, Informative) 681

Dude, we had a discussion about processor not long ago here on slashdot and MANY CS grads and professionals said that processors work with decimal Integer and decimal floating point math and are not binary anymore.

Sorry but they are BINARY. every single processor in use today are Binary, the Address and Data lines are 0 or 1 and then they at the base do binary math. You can't send a 2 or 3 in through any of the single Data pins. and when it goes out it's Binary. The fact that CS grads are so low educated that they will argue the point and ignore that a computer is still 100% binary is incredibly sad.

I personally believe that to get a CS degree you should be forced to take an EE class every semester. If you don't understand the hardware, then you are an ineffective programmer.

Yup, the story headline needs to read, " are stupid people using smartphones as an excuse to be rude"

The answer is yes. Dumb people are being dumber. Kudos for you, I will also stand my ground, a friend of mine that is 6ft 9 inches tall will actually plant his feet so he is a brick wall and then say, "sorry, I know I am kind of hard to see..."

People in general are scumbag assholes. And if you are smart and save your entire country, the assholes will beat you down anyways.

Ask Neil Degrasse Tyson how much hate mail he gets from the idiot assholes of the world. Just look at the man's twitter feed.

If you are smart, the raging morons of the world will hate you. This is a stone cold fact.

On the same note, Most CS guys could not survive 10 minutes in an embedded systems world. And it's not because those of us in Embedded systems don't have the skills, it's because the Idiots in upper management wont let us have the resources to do it right. If I can give you 900% more security by raising the cost of the box by $0.10 each then you freaking do it, not the "it will probably go unnoticed, so it's not that important" crap I hear.

You are new here so you don't understand the fact that Buzzfeed and all the rest got their commenter styles from Slashdot.

This place is the birthplace of all that. Learn your history N00b!

And if we catch you reading the article again before posting, there is going to be trouble with Taco and the gang giving you a visit...

Wait, we don't have Taco and the gang anymore.... Damn this place has gone down hill....
