  1. Re:Still plenty of sparky things to invent on US Predicts Zero Job Growth For Electrical Engineers (bls.gov) · · Score: 0

    Pollyanna!

  2. Retired on US Predicts Zero Job Growth For Electrical Engineers (bls.gov) · · Score: -1

    Glad I'm retired and don't have to worry about job growth anymore.

  3. Re:You likely don't have a hope in hell on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Approach Big Companies With Your Product? · · Score: 0

    To quote Don Lancaster on this subject: "Ideas are worth less than a dime a bale, in ten bale lots." http://www.tinaja.com/glib/cas...

  4. Simply Impossible on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Approach Big Companies With Your Product? · · Score: 0

    It is simply impossible. Big companies are just not interested in independent inventors; they want absolutely nothing to do with you and will most likely show you the door. Now that you have your patent which include full disclosure, you can expect them to infringe it. When they do infringe your patent, they are daring you to sue them. When you do sue them they will tie you up in court for decades because they have better lawyers and they pay them more than they will ever pay you to buy your invention. Your only rational choice is to start your own company to build a few and sell a few. There is no other way for you to go. Done, period, full stop.

  5. Master sun says: on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Improve My Memory For Study? · · Score: 0

    Sun Tzu's The Art of War: "In difficult ground, press on; On hemmed-in ground, use subterfuge; In death ground, fight." I say fight since you appear to be on death ground academically.

  6. Who's left to defend anybody? on Automation Is Making Unions Irrelevant · · Score: 0

    I never defended unions because I was never in one. Now that they are going away, who is left to defend anybody against the plutocrats?

  7. Derive 6 on Ask Slashdot: Replacing a TI-84 With Software On a Linux Box? · · Score: 0

    Derive 6 is the software package that emulates the TI-84/89/92 series of machines.

  8. Re:Universities teach this stuff on Is UML Really Dead, Or Only Cataleptic? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Do you think that professors could actually learn and teach something useful? That'll be the day...

  9. Renting songs? on Would You Rent a Song For a Dime? · · Score: 1

    Would you rent a dime for a song? -- Hmmm I didn't think so.

  10. A hard sell on Microsoft To Pay People To Search · · Score: 1

    I think persuading me to use an inferior search tool with results that reflect a hidden agenda would be a hard sell. Still there may be noobs out there that are still clueless enough to use them. If they have a positive experience, they will /. the search terms and bring Mr. Softie's servers to their knees. Of course we all know that those servers will not stop there, but continue to a fiully supine position.
