  1. Re:Gonna Learn the Hard Way on Wikileaks Co-founder Julian Assange Arrested in London (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, I expect there to be a bunch of "new" charges, once US gets their hands on him.

  2. moment I go back to a manual I inevitable stall at the first dozen or so junctions as I have forgotten to use the clutch.

    Are you fucking stupid???? I normally don't call people out, but WTF. Yeah you may have ONE rough take off or ONE stall... But you forgot how to use a clutch and stall dozen times???

    What in sam hell is wrong with you? give up you driver's license and you public transportation. For all our sakes...

  3. I'm pretty sure, this is how Apple killed the Mac the first time... History repeats itself?

  4. Re:Pass a law on FCC Struggles To Convince Judge That Broadband Isn't 'Telecommunications' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, especially when the choice is laws or Madmax, because that's what you get without laws.

  5. Agreed

  6. Company behavior is to blame. on In Booming Job Market, Workers Are 'Ghosting' Their Employers (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    This wouldn't happen if companies...
    Paid their employees a proper wage
    Didn't over work employees
    Didn't fire them on a whim

    The current job market is giving employees some power as they are no longer disposable. Companies are still treating employees as if they were. Ergo employees are rightfully shitting on them.

  7. My concern, would be where is the battery going to go? How is the weight going to be handled?

    Batteries are a LOT heavier then a combustion engine.

    How is that extra weight going to be handled?

      Will you need to beef up the suspension?

    What about front to rear distribution?

    This "conversion" could totally destroy the handling

    Sure, I'll get right on that with some rando on the internet...

  10. Re:Rent Seeking on Apple Used To Be an Inventor. Now It's Mainly a Landlord. (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I don't consider Apple (Jobs) an inventor.

    He was the tech version of a talent agent, his skill was identifying, promoting, and producing (refining) the invention.

  11. LOL, a 5 year old can spoof caller ID...

    I got your research. I hook the leads up to my OWN ARM... Serious crazy hack right there...

  14. For non-financial folks on Shareholder Sues Facebook After Stock Plunge (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Please be aware these "lawsuits" are usually just scams to suck more money from desperate stock holders. The "lawyers" are the financial version of ambulance chasers.

    Anytime a company loses a large percentage of stock value, a lawsuit is announced. For you to be part of the "class action suit" you need to pay the law firm a non-refundable deposit of usually between 200-600 dollars. The kicker is the lawsuit never actually happens and the client is out even more money.

  15. Re: You can't always eject first on Mac on Slashdot Asks: Do You Need To Properly Eject a USB Drive Before Yanking it Out? (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    high power wires to the front of the case then back to the PS, is fucking stupid. Just from a design standpoint.

  16. Re:And the other way around on 80 Percent of IT Decision Makers Say Outdated Tech is Holding Them Back (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    So much this, they WANT the data. But don't want to spend the money on ensuring proper processes for capturing said data.

    But the data isn't any good! Duh, GIGO still rules.
