comment out

To change some amount of computer programming code into a comment, thus disabling it within the program without deleting it altogether. A noun or pronoun can be used between "comment" and "out." I really wish you would stop commenting out so much of your code, because you're leaving behind a cluttered mess. Why don't we just comment it out for now, so we can reimplement it later if we want?

no comment

I don’t want to talk about it. This ambiguous reply to a question one doesn’t wish to answer originated in the mid-twentieth century among politicians and diplomats responding to journalists or interviewers. It soon began to be used more widely by other public figures and is fast approaching the status of a cliché.

COMMENTS AND NOTES
The discovery that 57 percent of comments were made with temporary or disposable email addresses is not necessarily indicative of anything; because comments are publicly accessible, some commenters may have chosen to use a temporary email in place of making their personal email address available to anyone browsing the FCC comments.
Further muddling the authenticity of many of the comments was the fact that thousands of the submissions were made with duplicate names or non-names, including some users submitting comments with names like "Net Neutrality" and "The Internet." Just three percent of the comments definitively went through the FCC's email verification process, according to Pew.
"When the Center analyzed the comments submitted during the 2014 net neutrality debate, about 450,000 comments were submitted to the FCC," Aaron Smith, associate director of research at Pew Research Center, said.
Shortly after the DDoS attack, a (http://www.ibtimes.com/what-net-neutrality-fcc-asked-investigate-fake-comments-new-rules-2543803) wave of identical comments supporting the FCC's proposal began appearing.
A n (http://www.ibtimes.com/net-neutrality-debate-fcc-gets-22-million-comments-many-bots-2585441) umber of analyses that looked at the collection of comments left on the FCC's site have concluded that the process was dominated primarily by bots and automated systems, which may have hurt the perception of the process, making it easy to dismiss public opinion as the product of a relatively small number of people running automated campaigns.
Nearly One In Four Comments On Net Neutrality Were Form Letters, Pew Research Finds
Since installing Civil Comments, the number of uncivil comments - those that include threats, personal attacks, name-calling, racial slurs, doxxing/de-anonymizing, and obvious spam - has plummeted on The Register-Guard.
"Our unique combination of natural language processing (NLP) algorithms, peer reviews and behavioral algorithms determines which comments to publish.
Fortunately, The Register-Guard has an established community of long-time commenters who also flag any uncivil comments that make it onto the site.
Since our Civil Comments launch in February 2016 through Tuesday, our online readers have contributed 94,247 comments and 101,415 "reactions" to those comments (options include "Like," "Funny," "Disagree," "Sad" and "Wow").
