  7. Re:I think someone without a degree wrote that sum on Why More Tech Companies Are Hiring People Without Degrees (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    I know someone without a degree wrote that summary. Take this section, and read it carefully (emphasis mine):

    The technology industry is now trying to figure out a way to attack its cultural and demographic homogeneity issues. One simple initiative is to begin to recruit talent from people outside of its preferred networks. One way is to extend their recruiting efforts to people who don't have four-year degrees.

    Yep, 132 characters was the standard and the first column was carriage control. A "1" meant new page.

  14. Re:Trumps a brilliant man! on Ecuador Acknowledges Limiting Julian Assange's Web Access (reuters.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The sad thing is that there is a bunch of knuckledraggers out there that actually BELIEVE what you just said (even though you were trying to be funny). :/

    Sadder yet is that there is another bunch of knuckledraggers who think Hillary and Bernie are smarter than Trump.

    I have never seen a more fitting user name before, and I doubt I ever will again.

  15. Will the E. Coli survive the trip?

  16. stupid car article day on Slashdot?

    There is a scene in Mr. Robot where a girl dumps a bunch of infected USB stick in the parking lot of a police station, and a cop picks one up and plugs it into his computer. I thought this was rather far-fetched, but I guess not.

  24. Re:SJW on When Hacking Vigilantism Infringes On Free Speech (betanews.com) · · Score: 0

    Just to be clear, there is no innate natural law that we are all guaranteed free speech. Throughout history people have silenced others that they disagree with, by many means up to and including killing them. In the United States, what is meant when we say we are guaranteed to a right of free speech is limited to being *mostly* guaranteed that the government is not supposed to interfere with our right to free speech. It doesn't apply to other individuals or groups. If you stand on someone's private property (including their online property) and spout hatred toward them there is nothing in the law to keep them from kicking you out.

  25. Re:/dev/null is uber fast! on Pirate Bay Cofounder Utterly Bankrupts the Music Industry (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    We would probably all be amazed (or maybe not...) by the number of people who effectively are doing this by never testing the "restore" part of the "backup" procedure.
