    And now the unions are poised to fuck up ride sharing...

  2. Just wait until Alex Jones and the Natural News crowd here about this, I can almost see the headline now. You'll never guess what India is trying to poison America's food supply with.

  3. Re:TLDR on 'Quit Social Media. Your Career May Depend on It.' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The NY Times and mass media in general is dying because of social media. It has all but put the final nail in mass media and changed how consumers, well consume their product.

    I'm sure if he had dirt on Trump he'd release it also.

  6. I really wish I had mod points... because holy crap... I never thought of that angle..

  7. Mhmm Sure... on Salesforce Pushes Regulators To Block Microsoft's LinkedIn Deal (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    These fuckboys at salesforce are just pissed off they couldn't afford the premium Microsoft paid.... Salesforce would do the same exact thing they're accusing Microsoft of doing if they had bought LinkedIn.

  8. They can't even prevent windows from getting a virus, but they're going to solve cancer?

  9. Re:What about flying cars? on Robots Will Eliminate 6% of All US Jobs By 2021, Says Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    My experience in IT support says otherwise, most basic troubleshooting can be handled by a chatbot with good scripting. Most of the time what we deal with are people too lazy or incompetent to actually follow troubleshooting and expect us to do it for them.

    Why should an loan with no collateral be allowed to be discharged?

    If a republican were publicly doing the same thing, the left leaning media loses it's collective hive mind over it..

  12. Re:thank god for the poor states on Mississippi - the Nation's Leader In Vaccination Rates · · Score: 2

    Those with insurance no longer have to pay for childhood vaccinations. It's covered 100% by insurance as required by law, as are the well baby(child) check ups for I think the first 5 years.

  13. A Doctor, not a chiropractor. on Mississippi - the Nation's Leader In Vaccination Rates · · Score: 1

    If an MD writes the request I can go along with that. Not a damn chiropractor or a therapist or some other silly shit.

    Isn't that what Dwolla already does? Sorry didn't bother to look to see if anyone else said anything, too lazy.

  18. Re:Thanks for the pointless scaremongering on US Army To Transport American Ebola Victim To Atlanta Hospital From Liberia · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The humane thing to do would be give them enough pain killers to stop their heart and put them out of their misery. Not fly them across the world to study them and watch them die slowly and painfully.

  19. Re:the Putin stage on New Federal Database Will Track Americans' Credit Ratings, Other Financial Info · · Score: 1

    I never got that, exactly how many brokers have been prosecuted for putting a gun to people's heads and forcing them to sign a mortgage they couldn't afford.

  20. Re:what's wrong with public transportation? on Is Google CEO's "Tiny Bubble Car" Yahoo CEO's "Little Bubble Car"? · · Score: 1

    Sure, tell me how mass transit is going to be the solution for the midwest? I drive 40 miles one way to my job every day. And there's all of 5 other people that live where I do, and drive to the town I do. Next problem none of us work the same hours.

  21. Legacy Software Limitations on Slashdot Asks: Will You Need the Windows XP Black Market? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My business uses software that was written for serial communication that simply doesn't work on windows 7, nor 8. The cost of replacing the software is more than having a couple dozen thinkpads with windows xp installed handy in case one goes down and we can't get support. At that we've even tried to have new software written and the vendors who took on the task simply couldn't get it to work. Then we run into the damn hardware problem I still can't find a serial to usb adapter that runs across at 1200 baud.

  22. Re:No place for 'almost', 'not quite' and 'nearly' on RadioShack To Close 1,100 Stores · · Score: 1

    The local store has a lot of the stuff "makers" are looking for, but the staff has no clue, and that I think is an even bigger problem. Who with any sort of technical background besides maybe a college student is going to work full time at a Radio Shack. I remember growing up in the 80's the local radio shack had people working behind the counter that could actually help you with the parts or problem you where trying to fix.

  23. Re:Everyone loves a winner. on Nate Silver's Numbers Indicate Probable Obama Win, World Agrees · · Score: 2

    And that's the problem with politics, maybe these people should start worrying about what is best for the country, and stop worrying about how to get re-elected.

  24. Re:Everyone loves a winner. on Nate Silver's Numbers Indicate Probable Obama Win, World Agrees · · Score: 2

    The restructuring of General Motors would have happened had the government stepped in or not. Plenty of corporations have went through a restructuring bankruptcy plenty of times and came out stronger on the other side. Ever flown on an Airline? Every major US carrier except southwest has gone through bankruptcy proceedings and kept operating, and rarely do employees lose their jobs. When I left the Air Force and went to work for American Eagle they had just filed bankruptcy and everyone I worked with had years of seniority... hmm. Somehow had General Motors gone through a chapter 7 restructuring they would be better off today than they would be under their current situation, especially considering they owe the U.S. Treasury billions still, and the Treasury is sitting on millions of shares....

    And there is no rule where I have to participate in a state with over burdening regulations. And California is that place.
