  1. Re:Here we go again on As Amazon Grows In Seattle, Pay Equity For Women Declines · · Score: 0

    And here we have representative example of SJW style of "discussion".

  2. Re:Here we go again on As Amazon Grows In Seattle, Pay Equity For Women Declines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, it is being accounted for - by hiring males.

    The same as conclusions of previous dozen ones.

    And no, all your white knighting is not going to get you laid.

  5. Re:Why... on Court Shuts Down Alleged $120M Tech Support Scam · · Score: 1

    And how many chargebacks?

  6. Re:Anti-feminism is NOT misogyny on Uber Threatens To Do 'Opposition Research' On Journalists · · Score: 2

    So what the word "misogyny" more commonly refers to ...

    You can try to redefine any word you want. Let me check the dictionary ... nope, it still says that misogyny is hatred of women.

  7. Re:Uber sounds like a shitty company on Uber Threatens To Do 'Opposition Research' On Journalists · · Score: 1

    Well, then I guess if Uber discovers something about journalists that makes them look bad, it is not Uber's fault, right?

  8. Re:Not a solution on Senate May Vote On NSA Reform As Soon As Next Week · · Score: 1

    Would that suddenly justify starting executing random Americans since that is what dictators do?

    No, the only think he justify would be dictating. Now, if he instead proclaimed himself to be executor ...

  9. Re:100k per school? on US School Installs 'Shooter Detection' System · · Score: 2

    But ... but ... if even *one* live is saved, it is totally worth it! Why won't you think of the children?

  10. Re:meanwhile in the real world on US School Installs 'Shooter Detection' System · · Score: 1

    fuck this high tech solution bullshit, just fucking arm the teachers with a "If you're not meant to be here you WILL GET SHOT" policy.

    Have we suddenly switched to discussing prisons or we are still talking about schools - you know, place full of kids who will happily do whatever you are forbidding them to do.

  11. Re:US Citizenship on Labor Department To Destroy H-1B Records · · Score: 1

    No. Next step is to send them home and bring in fresh batch.

  12. Re: Time for a revolution on Law Lets IRS Seize Accounts On Suspicion, No Crime Required · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And cash gets stolen by police using "civil forfeiture" laws - apparently having a lot of cash on you is good enough reason.

  13. Re:Sorry They're Changing on FTDI Removes Driver From Windows Update That Bricked Cloned Chips · · Score: 1

    Yeah, right. You also risk getting warranty calls from 10 000 of your customers and bad reputation for years, because it turns out that your FTDI chips were either not as genuine as you thought or their drivers got a bit overzealous and bricked genuine FTDI chips too.

  14. Re:Fentanyl on Incapacitating Chemical Agents: Coming Soon To Local Law Enforcement? · · Score: 3, Informative

    117 hostages died, nearly all of them because of gas poisoning: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/eur... . So, next time people start protesting, similar gas might be used to 'control' them. Doesn't it make you feel safer?

    This is about Hungary. This kind of shit is actually being done there.

    Easy, government will forbid increasing fees.

  17. Re:Is the article overstating or understanding? on Cell Transplant Allows Paralyzed Man To Walk · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think it is referring different cases - initial trial involving three patients while not successful at least showed that treatment is safe. New attempt on Mr. Fidyka went much better.

  18. Inaccurate on Cell Transplant Allows Paralyzed Man To Walk · · Score: 1

    Operation was performed in Poland by team led by Dr Tabakow. Professor Raisman developed his method enough to perform test on rats.From TFA: "In 2005, Prof Raisman was approached by a Polish neurosurgeon who had begun researching how to apply the technique in humans. Dr Tabakow carried out an initial trial involving three paralysed patients who each had a small amount of OECs injected in their damaged spinal cords."

  19. Great idea on Google Changes 'To Fight Piracy' By Highlighting Legal Sites · · Score: 2

    Most people are already conditioned to not even notice adverts. So pulling 'legal sites' from normal results (where they would be close to top anyway) to advert box will have exactly the opposite result.

  20. Re:F the UK on In UK, Internet Trolls Could Face Two Years In Jail · · Score: 1

    Third path is very nuanced - how much is 'distress'? Do you have right to force everybody to be nice to you?

  21. Re: F the UK on In UK, Internet Trolls Could Face Two Years In Jail · · Score: 1

    USA is on another damn continent - why the hell should they care? Russia was in league with Hitler and one of the aggressors since 17th of September 1939r, so why would the go against their "friends"? They turned against Germany only when Hitler decided that shared ownership of Europe is not good enough. There is very good reason to blame France and UK - since 01.09.1939 most of German army was tied down in Poland and only token forces were defending from west. France and UK had golden opportunity to crush Nazis quickly and with minimal losses. Well, they paid dearly for their cowardice in the end.

  22. Re:Funny but Microsoft is the most open ecosystem. on Microsoft Gearing Up To Release a Smartwatch of Its Own · · Score: 1

    Provide drivers for new operating systems? Which ones? I somehow don't see any hw manufacturer committing to provide drivers for any weird linux distro in next 5 years. Unless you would want this law written so they only have to do it for new versions if Windows and possibly Mac OSX. That would be received well on Slashdot.

    It was widely known that physiologically and psychologically a woman is better suited for space flights

    Careful, you are contradicting PC axiom that men and women are equal in all things, including any psychological predispositions.
