No, he has a wife. Thing is, they're into the swinger scene, so she fucks other guys and, well, so does he. Seriously I don't know or particularly care if he's gay, bi, curious, whatever. He claims to get a lot of pussy (due to being a linux celebrity and an alpha male).

uhh, actually it does. The "startup" definition varies but it generally boils down to not having a viable business plan. It means throwing feces against the wall and hoping it looks like art. Why would a competent programmer work for a high risk company without a viable business plan?

Yeah, I'm pulling a No True Startup and saying if they have competent programmers, they're not a startup.

If you've ever seen Pulp Fiction, visited San Francisco, or been to a LUG or LinuxCon, you've probably seen a leather-clad gay sex slave, aka gimp.

It seems like every time you turn around, another bitcoin exchange is hacked or some startup social network for dogs is secretly uploading all your phone contacts over clear text or a retailer is storing unencrypted cc numbers and passwords. Some of the worst offenders are brogrammers. Is there anything we can do?

So Microsoft avoids buying a failed phone co and Balmmer rage quits. What's the downside? It's like killing two turds with one flush!

How do you think courts restructure debts when a grain elevator goes bankrupt? There is literally nothing new here. This is shit that Hammurabi figured out.

Now that MtGox is dead, Coinbase will assume their mantle. Not as the pre-eminent exchange, but as the most fucked up exchange. They'll gladly lock up your money, cancel trades weeks after the fact, and make trades at prices you didn't agree to. I expect regulators will shut them down at some point this year (criminal charges are also possible) -- I hope your money isn't anywhere near them when it happens.

... or covered in shit.

Do you still trust bitcoin? Do you still beat your wife? Bitcoin is just like 7 Up. Never had it, never will. I prefer the Real Thing.

As if I don't already get enough spam on Facebook... no thanks!

(Actually, my facebook feed consists mostly of updates from The Onion, it's honestly a joy sometimes to visit the News Feed.)

Psst... you actually put ADA in the subject of your post.

That's odd. For me, I can click on Valdrax or (32670) to get to /~Valdrax

On Beta, clicking your username would just expand/fold your comment.

#fuckbeta What they need are some macro buttons for posts. I mean, 50-75% of comments are unoriginal garbage, so why not have buttons to autopost "hot grits", "micro$soft $sucks", "netcraft confirms it", "/etc/hosts troll", etc posts. Fuck it, I'll create a greasemonkey extension if they don't.

Also, there's a problem with one of their css rules that causes weird font issues in some posts ("font: Helvetica, san serif" is missing the comma so it can't find the "Helvetica san serif" font and drops back to the default serif font. d'oh)

Holy shit it's back. I must be right on the threshold. The nexus of the universe. I can see my house from here!

i shoved a greased up yoda doll in my slashdot beta. Is it good or is it whack?
