  1. Re:Why bother getting into CS on Tech Sector Expansion Blunting U.S. Job Outsourcing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    90% of tech workers are worth less than house painters. Just look around on Slashdot... a bunch of bitter, ego-obsessed, antisocial losers. Completely unemployable and unlikeable.

  2. Nielsen puts our internet penetration at 6th on FCC Admits Mistakes In Measuring Broadband Competition · · Score: 1

    In the world (or something like that), it seems that doing a statistically random poll is a more accurate representation than the way the FCC does it anyway. Why do Zonk, kdawson, and the rest of the mental midgets at Slashdot obsess about this issue anyway? It's not as if broadband penetration means much of anything, if those who want to use it can use it at work anyway.

  3. The one person in the US happy about this... on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 1

    Don Imus.

    JK.

  4. Re:Tax and subsidize your way to prosperity! on One Step Closer To Spaceport America · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Subsidizing does? Are you kidding? You idiots are subsidizing a British billionaire!

  5. Tax and subsidize your way to prosperity! on One Step Closer To Spaceport America · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's the American way!

  6. Conflicting reports. on Study Finds Cost Major Factor In Outsourcing Positions · · Score: 1

    Half of all news reports say that companies are becoming disillusioned with outsourcing and the other half say it's going to increase, I wish we could get a clear, honest, rational assessment of the situation so we can find out what to do about it.

  7. Re: I want numbers on French Train Breaks Speed Record · · Score: 1

    If weight is unlimited, then doesn't it make sense for trains to be used *primarily* for freight and for airplanes to be used for passenger travel?

  8. Re:Still not as fast... on French Train Breaks Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Well then get a bunch of 747's. And air travel is safer than train travel.

  9. Re:Physics is a bitch isn't it on French Train Breaks Speed Record · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's necessarily correct, air travel, for example, is a form of mass transit.

  10. Re:socialist horsewash on French Train Breaks Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Exactly, nobody sane wants to spend their time on a train sitting next to some smelly, unwashed Slashdot geeks ranting about Bill Gates like a lunatic for 6 hours. At least a plane is a lot quicker. Cars are preferable to that.

  11. Re:Physics is a bitch isn't it on French Train Breaks Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Sadly? Why sadly? Because we let people live how they wish to live?

  12. Still not as fast... on French Train Breaks Speed Record · · Score: 1

    as a 747.

  13. Re:Am I the only one... on Gary McKinnon Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 1

    Eh? Why do you think we have extradition treaties? The parent poster I responded to acted like nobody has ever been extradited. I pointed out that he was ignorant, which he was.

  14. Re:Am I the only one... on Gary McKinnon Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 2, Informative

    No? We just extradited the dog, dude! Point is that it happens all the time. We have something things called extradition treaties with other nations. The GP is an ignoramus.

  15. Re:Am I the only one... on Gary McKinnon Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 1, Informative

    Are you stupid or something? We extradite our own citizens like this. Only in Slashdot could something this ignorant be modded higher.

  16. Re:I find it hard to believe anything malicious on Google Using Pre-Katrina Imagery on Google Maps · · Score: 1

    When the populace keeps electing a mental midget like Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin, it's hard to feel sorry for them.

  17. Well I actually read the article. (gasp) on US No Longer Technology King · · Score: 1

    It looks to me, for the most part, that the US lost out due to an over-regulatory environment rather than "tax revolts" or "evil Republicans"... which sounds about right.

  18. Re:What else do you expect? on US No Longer Technology King · · Score: 1
    Did you even read the article?

    From it:

    Despite losing its top position, the US still maintained a strong focus on innovation, driven by one of the world's best tertiary education systems and its high degree of co-operation with industry, the report said.


    Not that I would expect Slashdotters to actually READ the articles they are hysterically responding to.
  19. Re:Obvious: on Scientists Powering Batteries with Soda, Tree Sap · · Score: 2, Informative

    They do have cars that run on restaurant oil waste.

  20. Internet penetration in the US is already high. on Many Americans Still Don't Have Home Net Access · · Score: 1

    This site puts the US at a relatively high IP rate, so I'd gather that many users get their internet fix from work or school.

  21. Queue the mindless responses! on Maker of Anti-Clinton Video Outed, Loses Job · · Score: 1

    Two party system, proportional representation bad... blah blah blah...

  22. Not that strange of bedfellows. on Strange Bedfellows Fight Ethanol Subsidies · · Score: 1

    For greens and libertarians that is. How much environmental damage is caused by misguided government subsides? How much environmental damage is directly caused by the government, by say, war (for example, among others)? I was reading this morning that FEMA flood insurance is causing people to move into environmentally sensitive areas in mass numbers, because they don't have to be responsible for that decision.

  23. Re:Cheaper Solution on Microsoft to Sue Cybersquatters · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think that anti-cybersquatting laws are "marxist" (not really, but they ain't capitalist). Internet domains should be treated like property like anything else... at least the commercial extensions (".com" etc.) should.

  24. Re:Yeah or maybe... on Source Control For Bills In Congress? · · Score: 1

    Are you David Ickes or something? ;)

  25. Re:The Broadband problem that... on New Report On Municipal Wireless · · Score: 1

    profiteering gluttons

    Sounds like municipal city employees to me. ;)
