  1. This is why on High-Frequency Programmers Revolt Over Pay · · Score: 1

    the income tax of senior execs of publicly-traded companies should be indexed to the disparity between the highest-paid and lowest paid employees: the worse the difference, the higher the rates (and lower the rates at the bottom too).

  2. As foretold by Gil on Our Video Game Heritage Is Rotting Away · · Score: 1

    "These Coleco's will rust up on ya like that!"

  3. Start here on How Google Trends & News Pollute the Web · · Score: 1

    with the viciously hate-filled, right-wing Google political ads that pop up even within Slashdot's RSS feeds. In this case, Google is no better than podunk TV stations that rake in cash at usurious rates every election season for political ads (which are 'accidentally' insanely louder than what comes before). But since Google News can't even be bothered to filter out the propagandistic Fox 'News' headlines attached to every US political story, I doubt anything will change. Fourth Estate my ass.

  4. Well actually on If You Don't Want Your Car Stolen, Make It Pink · · Score: 1

    Most stolen cars end up being disassembled and the parts fenced - especially collision-prone external body panels used by crooked body shops. So why steal a car that would require the most lucrative parts be repainted to a common color?

  5. Re:DMCA on Lawsuit Hits Companies Using 'Zombie' Flash Cookies · · Score: 1

    ...circumventing the Maginot line.

    In France's defense: who could have predicted that Germany knew about Belgium?

  6. Dammit on Long In Development, Toshiba 'SCiB' Battery Debuts · · Score: 1

    There goes my pithy slogan: "Toyota: there's no stopping them now!"

  7. Exactly on Heat Ray Gun Fails Final Test; Nixed From War · · Score: 1

    How else will poor little struggling Raytheon recoup their losses? They'll no doubt also create a model that incorparates a ticket cam.

  8. Silver Lining on Facing 16 Years In Prison For Videotaping Police · · Score: 1

    Peaceful protesters in the US are routinely hit with tear-gas, clubbed by the police, tazed, shot in the face with rubber bullets, etc.

    On the other hand, the razor wire topped Free Speech Zones half a mile away from the actual site are really quite fetching.

  9. If it were in his power on UK ISP TalkTalk Caught Monitoring Its Customers · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm sure Obama would give Talk Talk a free pass - just like he did for AT&T.

  10. Watch out on Facebook Adds Delete Account Option · · Score: 1

    It could be a spin on the Godfather line:
    "Leave the account, delete the person."

  11. Why? on Jailbreaking iPhone Now Legal · · Score: 1

    Why is this story in the Apple category? Is it really the only phone worth jailbreaking ? Did the copyright office only exempt the iPhone?

  12. And in History Class on Louisiana, Intelligent Design, and Science Classes · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they already teach about the terrible War of Northern Agression - another clear example of outsiders meddling in affairs that obviously belonged in the baliwick of Local Control.

  13. Re:They didn't fix a lot of things on BSOD Issues On Deepwater Horizon · · Score: 1

    ...keep you safe on the roads. They stop your house from falling in, from toxic chemicals being found in your food, and thousands upon thousands of other hazards that every day life throws at you.

    Man I loved Fight Club.

  14. Common Ground on Superheroes vs. the Westboro Baptist Church · · Score: 1

    But there is one thing that is a common touchstone across all religions: misogyny. The proof is their equally vehement denial of the fact.

  15. Re:US abuse on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    WWII was caused by the Treaty of Versailles (the first stop by Hitler once Paris fell) and the French desire to punish - and more importantly - humiliate the Germans. They were not careful for what they wished for.

  16. Compromise on Microsoft Says No To Paying Bug Bounties · · Score: 1

    Xbox Achievement Points!!

  17. Or? on The Scalability of Linus · · Score: 1

    dies of a Mono infection.

  18. Perhaps on Top Authors Make eBook Deal, Bypassing Publishers · · Score: 1

    the first book offered under this deal will be titled 'Balkanization'. Seems apropos.

  19. No doubt on Last Roll of Kodachrome Processed · · Score: 1

    Westboro Baptist will be down from Topeka tomorrow to protest the store for worshipping graven images.
    /Frequently embarrassed native Kansan

  20. Zap on Brain Scans May Help Guide Career Choice · · Score: 1

    "Well, the results indicate you would have been an accoplished musician... before the brain scan. Here's your drool bucket."

  21. At this point on Apple Doesn't Appreciate Toilet Humor · · Score: 1

    it wouldn't surprise me to see Apple suing people over the use of the 'word' IP.

  22. Re:Oakland needs to mellow out on Industrial Marijuana Farming Approved In Oakland · · Score: 1

    A lot of the population is nebulously hostile to legalization for vague reasons,

    Most Americans desperately want the legal system and/or prescription meds placed firmly between themselves and their own feelings. Gravatiting towards simpleton politicians with breezy, moralistic answers to every problem is another symptom.

  23. 18 Million on Boeing Shows Off First Commercial Spacecraft · · Score: 3, Funny

    So it's made out of a special carbon fiber called Papier-mâché.

  24. Silver Lining on Dell Ships Infected Motherboards · · Score: 1

    Now, it is a rare week that I don't see a blurb about Chinese workers striking for higher pay. I for one would welcome a rising tide of labor costs in China to perhaps level the playing field a bit. Of course, China is now slowly expanding into the role of an African colonial power, so maybe that's were the newest dirt-cheap labor market moves to - assuming they can keep the warlords and dictators compliant.

  25. Re:Which is awesome until... on Swedish Pirate Party Launches ISP · · Score: 1

    Cracking down on freedoms in the name of a minority of miscreants is never a good thing.

    Except to gain both money and power.
