  1. Democrats mandatory wellness does not equal "I have to give you my DNA or else". Total BS

  2. Thank you to all those that voted republican, more power to corporations less to individuals.

  3. Re:I've never been asked a salary history on Ask Slashdot: Should You Tell Future Employers Your Salary History? · · Score: 1

    I've been asked in the first interview during the last 5 jobs I've interviewed for over the last year.

  4. There should be a law against this on Ask Slashdot: Should You Tell Future Employers Your Salary History? · · Score: 1

    A company should pay you based on your education, experience , personality and work history. Not how much you made, it's their attempt to low ball offers and it creates wage stagnation. There should be a law against this practice and a law supporting employees rights to discuss openly salary and benefits.

  5. I'd put a $1 billion into Polywell tech, supercharge that research.

  6. Did we have to kill the company to stop Trump twee on Twitter Is 'Toast' and the Stock Is Not Even Worth $10, Says Analyst (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    I don't know, but it seems like we are going a little far to stop Trump from tweeting.
    Twitter is still useful.

  7. You mean like every corporation in the world that follows standard practices (IT/IS is too lazy).

    PS On the Apple TV it's no different then it was, using a single sign-on to validate other service, now you need only enter it once as compared to previously entering the same login for every channel app.

  8. No Comcast/Xfinity option!!
    Whose forum needs spamming? Can I blame Comcast/Xfinity as I assume?

    So basically you were throwing a hissy fit, good for you.
    I know people with Masters degree or Phd that are uneducated and illogical, a piece of paper does not make you smart or logical (as proven by your reasoning above).

    Clinton was a transplant, originally from Chicago, then Arkansas and finally New York (not counting college locations).
    Trump is a New Yorker through and through...

    Nope, will hunt down all astroturfing Anonymous Cowards and burn them out

    How would you label it, hopeful ?
    Also dozens is a fraction of the total.

    Notice how Fox pretty much is fake news, it entertainment , which has driven every other news outlet to follow to ensure ratings and money.
    There should be huge penalties for news blogs, papers, stations stating something false misleading or that is fake or a lie. (And the fines should grow exponential with each new error/lie)
    If they don't want to risk being fined everything must carry a banner that it is entertainment only and not factually correct.

  18. Education stupid on Snopes.com Editor on Fake News: Social Media Is Not the Problem (backchannel.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's the lack of proper education and the ability of individuals to reason things out logically.
    Secondly, desire to believe. In this US election you had Christians and Southerns voting for a New Yorker that lied and was unChristian constantly and is part of the establishment, they wanted to find reasons to believe him or hate Clinton.

    Every time I get pulled over or whatever, I force reboot my phone to require passcode.

  20. Fingerprint stealing made easy on Fake Fingerprint Stickers Let You Access a Protected Phone While Wearing Gloves (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    How dumb is this, so instead of making someone steal your fingerprints and make copies , they can just steal your gloves. Bad idea, but I bet it will get play in the tech community just because it's so bad.

  21. Bad Reason on New MacBook Pros Max Out At 16GB RAM Due To Battery Life Concerns (macrumors.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Give users the option, 16GB is 2011.... Just like spinning down drives and dimming displays, turn on and off banks of memory or something. I'm passing on this MacBook until they get serious about RAM.

    I love science, but in the next year there will be research that states fitness trackers change lives and make major impact on weight loss. It seems that research around human health and psychology are more prone to extremes.
