  1. Danger Will Robinson! on Fuel Free Spacecrafts Using Graphene · · Score: 1

    Has this been confirmed by a second party ?

  2. Don't state age - Show "Selected Accomplishmens" on Ask Slashdot: Are We Older Experts Being Retired Too Early? · · Score: 1

    I do not list my age. I do list 30+ years of experience (actually closer to 45, but 30+ is not a lie)

    My resume starts off with a list of "Selected Accomplishments" that condense what I have done by category and typically spans multiple employments.
    This section can also be customized per job application.
    You can list your whole job history, (let them do the math).

  3. Microsoft Gets You Coming And Going on MS Will Remove OEM 'Crapware' For $99 · · Score: 2

    The "Microsoft Tax" or tribute to MS that every major PC OEM pays is largely responsible to why there is so much crapware in the first place.
    Now you have to pay to have it removed.
    Looks like a racket to me.

  4. "Chicken Little" has been around for a long time on Scientists Work To Grow Meat In a Lab · · Score: 1
  5. Solution on Killer Apartment Vs. Persistent Microwave Exposure? · · Score: 1

    Just line the walls with aluminum foil. :-)

  6. More hair-brained ideas for "Global Warming" on DoE Considers Artificial Trees To Remove CO2 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just like the fact that we legislated use of compact fluorescents with NO plan on disposal,
    we have a half thought out plan on liquifying CO2, but nothing on storage and disposal.

  7. Get the paper! on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    Get the paper.

    The key to getting a job is getting an interview.

    The decision on who to interview is most often made by the clueless (HR) who rely on the presence of "paper" to qualify you.

  8. Hardware Viruses on New Way to Patch Defective Hardware · · Score: 1

    Since this is "programable" there will follow a new plague of "hardware" viruses.
    How does the inventor propose to defend against such things????

  9. Re:Sounds Like the Funniest Joke in the World on DNA So Dangerous It Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1

    What if it was a vacine to prevent testicular cancer?
    Would the objections be the same?

  10. Why don't we see any HIPPA Penalties Imposed? on Why Not Use Full Disk Encryption on Laptops? · · Score: 1

    For any theft involving Medically related data (e.g. VA) there should be HIPPA penalties involved ($20K per individual). If penalties for one or more of a single person's data (amoungst thousands) should more than offset the cost of full disk encryption.

  11. The Linux base LTSP system fills the bill on A Closed Off System? · · Score: 1

    Check out the LTSP system.
    With all the applications based on the server, and no program load allowed it can be just that.
    It is very popular with schools.

  12. Talk with your Company's Accounting/Finance Dept on Is Leasing Really Worth It? · · Score: 1

    I suggest that if you want the whole picture on this is that you talk to the finance and accounting departments in you company. What my seem like a straight forward decision on your departments part may have a negative impact on the company as a whole.

  13. Stick it to them on When Should You Quit Your Job? · · Score: 1

    Stay on, get the training into the new technology while searching for a new job. When your training is complete, then it is time to depart (assuming you have found a new position) with a new skill on your resume.
