  1. Alternatives? on Small Restaurant Out-Maneuvers Yelp In Reviews War · · Score: 0

    OK, so Yelp cannot be trusted. And they have gone to court so they can become even less trustworthy. Would anyone care to nominate an alternative site that is trustworthy?

  2. What utter crap ... on Former Leader of Film Piracy Group Sentenced To Five Years In Prison · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Until some bankers are in jail along side the "pirates" our justice system is just a sick joke.

  3. Re:Problem being... on Torvalds Slams NVIDIA's Linux Support · · Score: 1

    Having been the one-eyed in the land of the blind I can tell you that the damned blind people will try to kill you and won't stop until they do. Being that severely outnumbered is a bitch.

  4. Re:Just go to store.apple.com on Ask Slashdot: How To Shop For a Laptop? · · Score: 1

    I'm delighted to hear that you have more money than sense. Keep up the fine work.

    Wow - you've described the US today. Congratulations.

  6. Re:translation hard to understand... on Swiss Canton Abandons Linux Migration · · Score: 1

    And stupid is even harder to fix when stupid is in charge.

  7. Re:Holy cow on Intel Buys McAfee · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You apparently have too much sense and knowledge to be one of today's "IT Executives". As I look around I have to say, "Is this the best we can do?"

  8. Re:How does on Obama Wants Allies To Go After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Amen. It does turn out that the new boss is the same as the old boss. Where's the outrage?

  9. Re:Bribery on Mark Cuban's Plan To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    Thank you. Well stated.

  10. Viable alternative is redundant on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 0, Troll

    If it's not viable it's not an alternative.

  11. Re:95 wasn't so bad.... on Bill Gates: Windows 95 Was 'A High Point' · · Score: 1

    Having lived through the OS wars of the 1990's I can definitely state that Warp wasn't better than anything - commercially usable. I set aside Friday's for rebuilding my desktop. IBM let down (and then pretty much abandoned) its enterprise customers (on the desktop) and allowed "bad" code to drive out "good".

  12. He? on Hunting Bad CIOs In Their Natural Environment · · Score: 3, Informative

    The absolutely worst IT executive I ever had the displeasure to work for was a woman. Arrogant, rude and completely unqualified. It turns out that she had quite a horrid reputation in her prior jobs. Made a complete mess of things and then moved along to another (local) company where she proceeded to make the same mess. I will give her points for consistency. This all appears to be simply a matter of empty suits finding one of their own for critical executive positions. To my regret I was out the day that IT became a political space and not a technical one.
