  1. Re:Economy is not a science. on Australian Economists Predictions No Better Than Flipping a Coin · · Score: 1

    I don't want to get into a debate on the facts [and at the risk of being an "economic extremist"] you keep saying "no government has applied Keynesian theory." A statement that to me and apparently many is obviously wrong.

  2. Re:I have a better idea... on Richard Stallman's Solution To 'Too Big To Fail' · · Score: 1

    You must be full of the Kool-Aid they are serving. If one bank is ok to fail let the other fail as well, even if their buddyies (aka Bernanke and gang) are in the other one.

    Slashdot must be using keynesian policy of modding to be modding you up. Pumping extra points into low performing posters.

  4. Re:Work-issued Laptop is for Work on Ask Slashdot: Using Company Laptop For Personal Use · · Score: 1

    you are totally talking out of your arse. This has nothing to do with the discussion.

  5. Re:Just browse porn on the company laptop. on Ask Slashdot: Using Company Laptop For Personal Use · · Score: 1

    IT admins are in their ivory towers reading everyones private emails. When they are not they are annoying and not doing their job. As such most of the comments are dont do it so they can have something to do during the day (like read your personal emails). The expectation that someone will not check a personal email for 5 minutes a day at work is silly. No one lives in a silo while working. Except for IT guys of course. One aside, Euro zone privacy laws which are more progressive understand this practicality and enforce this reality. I personally think the portable apps solution on a drive is the most practical. What I have not heard mentioned is using an encrypted proxy service like tor or ipredator. This will make sure the IT guys aren't reading about your dinner plans if you are using the office network.

    that means it's YOURS now. end of story.

    ... and you would be wrong. Just like it's common knownledge that you can't circumvent protections from DVDs that are also purchased. -- who keeps modding the drivel up anyway !!!

  9. Re:App Stores Dept. of Corrections? on Bad PR Forces Apple To Reconsider Banning Mark Fiore's App · · Score: 2, Funny

    More likely the creative crowd/apple sheep don't think its "cool" to be banning award winning writers. This would also seem to be at odds with Apples "we are cool"/"you are fool" marketting campain.

  10. No on How Do I Fight Russian Site Cloners? · · Score: 1

    You cannot win against mother Russia.

    Could you please remove the following statement from your code:

    if (avertiserFee > 300) then BadReview = NULL else GoodReview = NULL

  16. Re:Sham on Yelp Founder Says "No Extortion — Just a Misunderstood Algorithm" · · Score: 1

    Agreed... with the added bonus of the algorithm automatically assuming you make good food (and no bad reviews) if you advertise on yelp.

    please mod me insightful too... i also have nothing of value to say

  18. Re:USB Cell anyone? on Energizer USB Battery Charger Software Infects PCs · · Score: 1

    Plus they are low capacity... 1300mah (in addition to being pricey). This compared to the common 2000-2500mah

    The energizer duo is compact... charges aaa and aa.

    You don't need the software to charge but this is very disconcerting news

  19. Thank you Apple for inventing Keys on Apple's "iKey" Wants To Unlock All Doors · · Score: 1

    How long will it be until we drop the "i" and just start calling them keys. What a great invention, something to open locks.

    Apple is even helping us deter theft. Will their wonderfulness never cease. What next? Will they invent analog clocks perhaps?

  20. Re:chillaxinate, broheims on Yale Switching To Gmail, Not Without Opposition · · Score: 1

    Neither is a file server or a database until you put in the proper controls, security, and encryption. I would imagine a secure email server with proper controls and data protections would be compliant as well.

    Why couldn't you flatter one site 20 times out of the 100?

    I bet Yale's medical school would fall under HIPAA rules and would need to protect medical records of folks they work with. I would also bet Google's privacy rules and data handling are not HIPAA compliant.

  23. Re:From the article... on Is Plagiarism In Literature Just Sampling? · · Score: 1

    you summed up what I wanted to know so I will just copy it all. Deef Pirmasens, the blogger who discovered the passages taken from “Strobo,” said that he could understand a few words or phrases seeping into the work through inspiration, but that he quickly noticed that there were too many for it to be a coincidence. “To take an entire page from an author, as Helene Hegemann admitted to doing, with only slight changes and without asking the author, I consider that illegitimate,” Mr. Pirmasens said. Entire pages verbatim? She is the Vanilla Ice of literature sampling then.
