Slashdot Mirror

I've seen no cases of Google firing someone for disagreeing with them. Damore was fired because he made a nuisance of himself, pushing his essay on people in a way that could reasonably be foreseen to get out of Google.

Now thst's a fine bit of wordsmithing. His opinion was exactly why he was considered a nuisance. In today's world, where it is considered appropriate to destroy a man because a woman goes on a date with him and doesn't enjoy the evening, yes. Wordsmithing can validate many things. https://www.dailynews.com/2018...

This is where we have come to - I'm certain that Mr Ansari made a nuisance of himself - eve if he broke no laws - but he needs destroyed because he was a nuisance and she didn't enjoy thd evening. This is not debateable in today's world.

Wordsmithing can validate many things even when completely wrong. But it's your narrative, and your ideology is strong and impervious, if my other conversations with you bear any resemblance of your actual opinions.

No this is LA it is big Government. The LA budget is 8.7 billion dollars which puts it ahead of 10 States.

For the most part you were able to keep your doctor. Unless your doctor was some sort of lazy jerk who refuses to take insurance payments. The ACA insurance plans do not discriminate on which doctors they can cover. It is just the Doctors themselves who refused it. This wasn't a lie, it was a mistake.

Ahh, so Anthem Blue Cross leaving California was because they were all lazy and refused to do the insurance overhead. Good to know!

Why did California scrap their proposed single-payer plan a few months ago? Because it would have bankrupted the state. California!

Knowing California Democrats it's because they couldn't make the math work in such a way that illegals got full coverage at no charge while the US citizens paid for it all. Currently several million illegal immigrants live in CA and if you count the anchor babies the number more than doubles. Hard to make the math work with so many extra to carry.

Not really fair to compare "America" with "Tokyo". What about LA and Tokyo?

The average commute in LA is 29 minutes. Tokyo is much worse.

Anyway, nobody is trying to promote LA traffic as "working fine" and an example for others to emulate. The OP was doing exactly that with Tokyo's trains, which are actually far worse for the average commuter.

Commuters in LA who use public transit have an average commute of about 50 minutes, which is almost the same as the average Tokyo commute.

They can be exempt and claim all the training they want, they seem to lose in court constantly for it that it resorts to having to spend more tax payers money to payoff the victim and now paying millions to "research" new devices for emergency personnel that doesn't help squat.

Simple google search seems to reveal this is more common than we realize:

No, she's selling $353,400 dinners:

Kate Grace won the 800m Women's Final trial in a crazy finish a few weeks ago and became an Olympian for the first time. Her sponsor Oiselle posted pictures afterwards congratulating her on Instagram and their website. They were threatened by the US Olympic Committee to remove all posts and pictures of her, their own athlete. Needless to say they and her boyfriend were not happy about this. But since he was not a sponsor he re-posted the "offending" Instagram picture. After a while (and maybe some media backlash) they were allowed to post "compliant" pictures of her win. Effectively they had to censor out any logos relating to the US Olympic trials or Olympics.

My dad was killed by a texting driver while he rode his bike. The whole thing was caught on his camera, and in the video from his rear-facing camera, you can even see, in crystal clear high definition, that the driver's head is looking down towards her lap the whole time.

This also happened in one well known case in Los Angeles, where the texter was a cop. He was not even indicted:
http://www.dailynews.com/gener...

The victim's name was Milton Olin. Lots of news about this case is available:
http://www.dailynews.com/gener...

http://www.dailynews.com/gener... It was CHP. Protestors scaled the outside of the building, demanded all gas storage facilities in the state be shut down, and said they would occupy the PUC until their demands were met.

Or "let's throw out every military absentee where the military didn't properly postmark the ballot". People on active duty military service don't deserve to vote, do they?

Apparently they don't, because they commonly don't count military votes at all, let alone "the valid ones".

Nonsense. People on active duty in the military do not give up their right to vote. They can vote absentee just like anyone else who is unavailable to go to the polls on election day.

If you had read and understood my comment, which contained the word "apparently", you might have understood it to be a complaint against the fact that military ballots commonly go uncounted.

Anybody employed by a government agency is used to not only having the salary of their position public, but having their names and salaries published in major newspapers for everybody to read:

Example
Another
Another
Another
Another

I think we can all agree that the salaries of government positions should be public, but I'm not sure publishing actual people's names, positions, and salaries in a public database is ethical.

Really?

Forced busing LAUSD

I keep seeing people on Slashdot complain about businesses attempting to obtain value, and how public utilities are shining beacons of honesty and goodness.
Here you go: http://www.dailynews.com/general-news/20070930/more-than-13-of-dwp-workers-are-paid-100000-and-up

Just so we're clear on this: There are greedy jerks on both public and private sector payrolls.

Apropos the gun control debate, note that the media is starting to paint Christopher Dorner with mental illness.

In particular, this quote from The Daily News:

"His chilling statements, found on his Facebook page, portray a deeply intelligent and opinionated man, one who promotes gay rights and gun control, but whose mind has unraveled, likely due to mental illness, paranoia and possibly unresolved trauma, experts said Thursday."

He wasn't mentally ill before the incident, or when he was with the LAPD, but he is now that they want to catch him.

We've seen a number of these "I've got nothing to lose, I'm going out with a bang!" cases recently. What's with that? Has there always been spree killings, but weren't reported widely until recently? Has something changed in society?

(I've often wondered what Aaron Swartz could have done, assuming he believed his life was over & had a year or so of long-term scheming to plan something.)

If you consistently write off and oversimplify the harm caused to these women as embarrassment, which is how I know you're not actually empathizing with these women. Having what is essentially a stalker contact you through one or more friends accounts, knowing your address and phone number, eliminating any sense of safety you had with your online life or even in your own home. Then having them sexually harass you followed by blackmail for months afterwards. And according to the ibtimes article he allegedly made good on his threats in some instances and was posting naked pictures of these women to their facebook pages.

But that's only embarrassing pictures right? And embarrassing pictures, sexual harassment and fear for one's safety are just minor inconveniences....they don't ruin lives and careers...well except when they ruin lives and careers.

And I never said anything about whether or not he deserved any sort of vindictive punishment, I was pointing out that you are kidding yourself if you think you're empathizing with those women in the least. Comparing what you think of as embarrassment to what those women were allegedly put through, you quite obviously don't understand a damn thing.

There aren't many articles with reactions from the victims, but here's one:
http://www.dailynews.com/ci_22475972/fbi-arrests-glendale-man-sextortion-charges?source=most_viewed

From the LA Daily News article,"One woman told a friend the experience made her feel as if she'd been raped, and both those women said they were afraid to use a computer or be home alone, according to the FBI."

But these women are probably over reacting...you know, like half of slashdot seems to think women do...all the time. Of course being accused of rape isn't something that Kazaryan is unfamiliar with, but that is irrelevant since those charges against him dropped when because the alleged victim disappeared.

That's okay. They gave their lives for a good cause. And they shall be avenged thrice over.

SEC staff were found doing the same thing. Lawyers – senior level people – pulling down 220k+/year were amassing porn archives. Madoff was still a market maker running an options exchange while this was going on.

More recently the IT managers in Los Angeles have had to tell city 'workers' to stop streaming the Olympics due to network congestion.

Who needs a PSA? This guy was a popular fast food joint owner. Key word is was. Some dickhead was texting while driving and killed him.

Any other SFValley people ever go to El Pollo Amigo?

To put the performance of the machine in perspective, Thomas P. D'Agostino, the administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, said that if all six billion people on earth used hand calculators and performed calculations 24 hours a day and seven days a week, it would take them 46 years to do what the Roadrunner can in one day.

I gotta agree with you on this. Whether or not he can see doesn't change the fact that he put innocent lives in danger by doing this. It isn't like the early days of phreaking where you made long distance calls for free. Spoofing calls about an insane gunman is completely justified for this kid to get charged with some sort of crime.
There was another story I read about swatting where they wanted the culprit charged with assault with a deadly weapon and false imprisonment by violence, both by proxy, which are unprecedented, and I have to disagree that he should be charged with those.

Take your pick from Google News 300+ news articles about the marijuana vending machine in the USA:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=ISO-8859-1&ncl=1126931861

When will Slashdot pick up on this news, does one of the editors have to test it themselves?

Smoke em if you got em!

I know, this is OFFTOPIC isn't it? It wouldn't be if it was about RIAA, asteroids, robots, Microsoft, or Pirates smoking weed from vending machines. So this post is really this article... ON WEED!

Aside from the normal round of robot-asteroid-which-corporate-cocksuck-for-president-will-fuck-us-next news, how about something for US, the people of this country:

Marijuana vending machines are a reality in California:

Offtopic, flamebait, troll, pony, whatever, at least this news will appear before the next Slashdot pro-marijuana, pro-nature, pro-peoples-fucking-rights-in-action story hits ten years from now after marijuana is legalized in this still-puritanical, but now we can butt fuck legally, backwards cross-licking country.

TELLING YOUR PARTNERS TO MAKE DECENT FUCKING MOVIES. Maybe then people might want to pay 30 bucks to see your movie in a theater...

He legally shouldn't have been able to buy a weapon because he had been noted as mentally unstable. Unfortunately, Virginia's computer system only checks for criminal background. I expect that's one area Virginia will make an improvement on.

It has had literally zero effect on me and every single person I know.

Or, put a more poetic way: "First they came for the unamerican, and I didn't speak up, because I was patriotic..."

Yes. I hate how our military and journalists and charitable organizers are kidnapped, raped, and actually tortured (you know, like real torture -- involving real pain), and then we're berated for making those suspected of attempting to kill us skip a few meals or deal with some offensive language and bad music.

Your soldiers have beaten people to death during interrogations. Yeah, I guess they were just faggots for not being able to take the punishment, huh?

Or, to put it into terms even the average American teevee jockey will understand, you know your country is in trouble when even Jack Bauer tells you to go easy on the torture.

Or the freedom the U.S. President is enjoying when trying to change the law to affect the outcome of a passive euthanasy?

Yes. The President has the freedom to make executive decisions.

Perhaps you missed the entire point of the Schiavo controversy. Your president might have the "freedom" to make executive decisions, but he does not have the "freedom" to interfere with the judicial branch. They are entirely different branches of government. Your president is in charge of the executive branch, not the judicial branch. Letting him interfere with the judicial branch means that he is essentially above the law as he can quash legal challenges as he sees fit. Like, for instance, the illegal spying lawsuit that's been thrown out for "national security" reasons. I don't know why people have started to throw around the word "fascism"...

You see, the sticky thing about restricting freedom is that you have to start coming up with all sorts of subjective measures of where to draw the line in all sorts of different scenarios.

Like shouting fire in a crowded theatre? You do realise that your government also restricts freedom and draws a line when it comes to freedom of speech, don't you?

Clearly it was an overreaction and someone in Boston should have resigned/been fired instead. See here http://www.dailynews.com/ci_5180780 (via http://www.schneier.com/) for a way to dispose of bombs in a way without shutting down a major metropolitan area.

When a Supreme Court ruling tells you why a law is unconstitutional or where applications of a law would be illegal or unconstitutional, that's one way. Check out the latest Supreme Court ruling on Bush's use of a terrorism blacklist. The Supreme Court indeed does the power to tell the other branches of government what they can and cannot do (with limitations of course). Don't get suckered into all that "activist judges" propaganda.

Now, the first big wave of the mortgage boom is cresting as more than $400 billion worth of adjustable-rate mortgages, or about 5 percent of all outstanding mortgage debt, will readjust this year for the first time, according to Loan Performance, a research firm. Next year, another $1 trillion in loans will readjust.

Just like Disney does with movies? *
(Once video games became big business, the "big players" have tried running operations like a generic entertainment industry offering)

* Disney just announced it slashes new releases to 8 per year.

several Anthrax attacks (according to the FBI "analysis" - they were from either two or three different originators), that Reza fellow, the Iranian Muslim graduate student who recently ran over students on the University of North Carolina campus (recently in the national news); and there have been (if I recall correctly) something like 6 to 8 similar incidents around the nation - all low intensity terrorist acts we've seen so much of internationally - nothing like that fairly well-orchestrated 9/11/01,

and if you wish to know what most combat veterans really think about the Busheviks please read this article by one of the co-founders of Delta Force (and the only guy I'm aware of who can do as many handstand pushups as this old vet).

In all of my history as a US citizen, I have seen enough to beleive that the courts here are legit and fair.

Former Illinois Governor (and future prisoner) Ryan stopped executions here when it was found that half the people on death row were proven innocent. A few cops, prosecutors, etc are now in prison for faking evidence, etc.

You might click on a few of these links:

Experts question arson convictions
Texas Case Spurs Arson Conviction Questions
Arson experts cite bad evidence in '04 execution

They detail how the "experts" used junk science. Imagine your house burns down and your family dies, and you get the death penalty for murdering them, even though the fire was an accident.

Bad enough his family died, worse that they killed him for the "murder" based on evidence that didn't prove anything.

A friend's brother spent five years in federal prison for loaning money to a cocaine dealer, never saw or touched any of the actual drug. The dealer went to prison for two years.

There's a fellow serving life inder California's "three strikes" law for stealing a candy bar!

I fear my "justice" system. You should as well.

While I've always considered Marine Corps and Air Force to have the best Special Ops groups - I do agree with Mr. Haney in his opinions.

Sorry -- took me a while to find the links -- It is true no matter how much you don't want to admit it.

A380 behemoth takes to the skies

"In May last year, the planned deployment schedule suffered a knock-back when Virgin Airlines postponed delivery of the A380 until 2007 - a year later than planned. The company cited difficulties in kitting out the aircraft, and added that "delays in airports - particularly that of Los Angeles (LAX) - preparing to receive the enormous aircraft are partly behind the decision", as we reported at the time."

Also -- $20 million in changes to allow Airbus at LAX

And to prove it's just not a US issue -- one more for ya!!

Emirates to bulk up on its flights to Auckland

"Auckland International Airport plans to spend $NZ27 million ($24.8 million) on upgrades so it can handle A380s."

I happen to believe in the existance of greater being, not because I can cite someones scientific evidence but because there has to be something more to the world that we don't understand.

Well, I guess there just isn't enough in the world that we don't understand to satisfy you that you have to go and make shit up just so you won't understand it. To each his own, I suppose.

Other than that, why does there "have to be something more to the world that we don't understand"? Scientists have recently come out with "this is the last universe, whatever else may have existed before, this is definitely it", and that it stretches on forever. So it looks like there's always going to be something new for us not to understand, again without making shit up just so we'll have something we don't understand.

I'll tell you what I don't understand. I don't understand why gay people can't enjoy the benefits of marriage.

Game 7 had a 76 share in Boston and 30 share nationally. Shrug, never liked you anyway. ;)

This has also been covered briefly on Engadget and more thoroughly on BoingBoing, where links to the original article and the District Attorney's report are provided.

Try LA Daily News.

But this opens up a whole new world to the independents. Shrek2 just shattered all kinds of records in terms of cash. And there are no real actors.

So what happens when a few talented indies get their paws on the processing power required to blow the doors off of convetional actors? It won't be goodbye to Hollywood just yet but I can't wait for the first CG/Anime crossover. I can't imagine how Cowboy Bebop would fare if it didn't have the cartoon stigma.

Make a CD Case?

actually, I just hook it up in my apartment and not tell anyone- then the next lan party I host not get complaints that my network is too slow.
(bastards.)

even if he gets the full one year sentence, he'll never serve it.

California jails are hemorrhaging prisoners, 50,000 released early last year in LA county alone, and they're giving a guy a year for setting up a video camera in a movie theater. i'm not saying this asshat shouldn't be punished, he should. i'm just saying that asshead jack valenti shouldn't get to write california state law just because he's the head of the largest trade association in the state.

any foreign countries that they find Oil in

Yeah, we Americans are really taking advantage of our access to the vast Iraqui oil supplies -- not to mention the close proximity of our huge military force to the OPEC nations. Why, OPEC is trembling in their boots while we drain Iraq dry! Read all about it here, here, and here.

Maybe it's nothing, and the show was cancelled simply because they didn't know how to handle it, just like the John K. days of Ren & Stimpy. Funny how whenever I would tell someone about Zim, I would always say, "...and for some reason Nicklodeon is airing it." Zim is so subversive and dark-I think all of us knew this day would come, at least those of us who remember what happened to Ren & Stimpy...at least they didn't fire Vasquez and re-edit the show in horrible horrible ways. Well, at least HOPEFULLY they won't...

The reason Invader Zim, Spongebob, and 2 other shows are being dropped has everything to do with 16 out of 19 writers signing union cards.

There is no unionization in the animation industry, and Nickelodeon means to keep it that way.

Nick staffers demand union representation

There was a story on yahoo! news last week that made the link clearer, but I can no longer find it.

Check it out. For an ideology that worships power and seeks the destruction of the "weak" and "inferior" they sure seem like a tiny bunch of pathetic cry-babies.

Never mind black vs. white, these guys are the sorriest excuse for white people. Why is it that only the stupidest, weakest, most fucked-up white people ever join these tiny "white supremicist" cults?

Potato Association of America Handbook: Potato Varieties.

Who says watermelon must be red?

Potatoes of note. (Potatos or potatoes, either is acceptable. Just not potatoe).
