  1. Re:You can't say NO on Saying No To Promotions Away From Tech? · · Score: 1

    Some companies are doing this because they are either planning to do additional offshoring or outsourcing.

    I think you're either making a mistake about companies motivations in doing this or grammar.

    $60 billion! Chump change! BofA isn't scared and they may get hit for a lot more than that!

    Your outrageous claims to the existence of an "article" have revealed your true anti-slashdot bias.

    So I guess double jeopardy is okay in Canada?

    Well, to be fair, Alex Trebek is one of their biggest stars.

    Link to the project web-site: http://wiki.thc.org/gsm

    Inexplicably, that link makes me think of weed and sex. I expect a high turnout of volunteers at the college level.

    All right, Mr. van Oorschot, we get it. You want us all to read your work and accept the fact that your associate was a dick.

    The old story of "liars can't look you straight in the eye" is a lie.

    It's hard to assess the truth of this claim you make when you keep avoiding eye contact.

    Which hunt?

    Physically and thoroughly, say with a sledge hammer.

    Actually, according to Western Digital documentation the only way "to be sure" requires, and I quote: "the use of a specialized device, while remaining at a distance no less than 160 km from the target hard disk drive".

  13. Re:Singing at a movie theater? on Woman Filming Sister's Birthday Party Gets Charged With Felony Movie Piracy · · Score: 1

    What I want to know is: Why were they singing "Happy Birthday" during the film?

    Probably better than just sitting through it. Have you seen A Clockwork Orange? Multiply that brainwashing scene by a factor of retarded-vamp.

    0.5% of what? 0.2% of what?

    Ummm... the incident rate of the previous year. Why do you need to know the base rate? Whether it was 1,000 per 1,000,000, or 100,000 per 1,000,000, a 0.5% yearly increase (5 or 500, respective increase from the 1st to 2nd year) is statistically insignificant.

  17. Re:It's different on Gran Turismo Gamer Becomes Pro Race Driver · · Score: 1

    Driving a car in a videogame and driving a car in real life are very different, but the actual *racing* part is pretty similar. Controlling the car is important, but it's not what wins races. Racing is all about knowing the lines and racing techniques, and a video game can definitely teach you that.

    You have vastly overcomplicated what it takes to be a winning race car driver. Source.

    I can only hope that the movie industry reads the history books, for those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
