  1. You blast them all over the internet. on Ask Slashdot: How Should Devs Deal With Trademark Trolls? · · Score: 0

    Honestly you out full details of the trolls to all forums you can find and air their dirty laundry.

    Everyone that protects these scum by not posting their name and address are as scummy as the trademark troll.

    I solved a situation like that by setting up an automated reply to send the bad comcast email to the email addresses of every single comcast executive. with the top line changed to "Why cant your people fix this?"

    It stopped within 2 weeks of the 4th email.

    I get other people's Gmail all the time. I was one of the first to get a gmail account so I have myname@gmail.com

    I have received job offers, travel itineraries, etc...

    My favorite was when I received a job offer letter to be a tennis instructor at a very rich resort.

    I replied back with...

    "That will be great!, can you tell me what kind of bat and helmet you require for teaching people tennis? Also I will need a bucket of honey and a supply of bees."

    Sadly, they retracted the job offer.

    I can see lifestyle and genetics being the main drivers. Look at 3rd world citizens, some look like they are 50 when they are in their late 20's. High stress life, lack of proper nutrition, etc...

    But then you have the genetics curveball. There is a guy here at work that is 70 years old and he looks like he is not a day over 40.

  7. Re:trick them into it ... on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Find Jobs That Offer Working From Home? · · Score: 2, Informative

    People dont understand that.

    It's why I am fending off job offers monthly. I have a skillset that is in very high demand and I am in a field that has never had a lot of people in it.

    So when I get a job offer and change jobs, I can dictate my pay, compensation and work conditions. I dont start a new job with the peons and starter vacation, I start at max vacation, the desk type I want, the equipment I want, and the amount of office space and window.

    This is what happens when you work hard at being someone that is very very good at the job and in a very in demand field.

    "US labor participation rate is the lowest it's been in 40 years. Only jobs being created are all part-time. Under-employment is at an all time high."

    The labor pool is filled with horribly undereducated people. Of course they don't have jobs. IF public education was not a steaming mess and if college actually was affordable or free like it is in the other 95% of the world, this would be very different.

    If those damn democrats did not keep cutting funding for education programs and other entitlements..... oh wait, it's the other guys that did that.

    As all generations of the surface are pretty useless without the keyboard. (I own one, I know this as a fact)

    That is why the surface is not a success, Microsoft's inability to get user interfaces right. The hardware is sound and great. It's the steaming crap OS that is installed by default that is the problem.

    And that is the problem. You dont have to have any IQ at all to own and operate a quadracopter like that. Only need a checkbook or credit card.

    Honestly, I think they need undercover cops to walk around and just taze the hell out of drone owners that do that crap. No warning, just a tazer to the balls for 5 minutes and then say, "Stop being an asshole, have a nice day."

  16. Have to do this all the time. on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Passwords Transmitted As Cleartext? · · Score: 2

    In ham radio command and control over remote digital ground stations all have clear text passwords because it's against the law to encrypt on ham radio bands. So every password is a single use.

    Today, if I connect to the digipeater that is near me I will use the password S4tA12fDg
    and it will work once and only for a certain window for that single login to happen.

    Any company worth anything would do the same. Here is your link, here is your one time use password, you had better get the file in the next 20 minutes or that password will not work.

    Perfectly secure for simple crap that really has zero value like a school transcript.

  18. High Priced Meh. on SlideN'Joy Extender Adds Up To Two More Screens For a Multi-Monitor Laptop · · Score: 1

    Sorry but these are going to be USB 3.0 monitors, so they will not be 1920X1080 or higher and not impressive. They need to be displayport to leverage 2 displays at full high resolution. THEN be a high quality enough panel to not have defects.

    I'll stick with the ASUS usb panel I carry with my laptop for when I actually need an extra screen. It's very low res (1366X768) but it's useful for having a PDF up or other very low framerate app up while I am at a customers site.
