  1. Re:Firefox playing up. on PayPal Accuses Google of Poaching Mobile Payment Trade Secrets, Personnel · · Score: 2

    I reported it as not a scam site. I think it's because of the word paypal in the url bar.

  2. mine bitcoins then grow pot? on Increased Power Usage Leads to Mistaken Pot Busts for Bitcoin Miners · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So if you want to grow pot mine a bunch of bitcoins and get the police to inspect your house. Once that's done setup your grow operation, because the suspicion has been relieved?

    Which is why I said he'd have to take a pay cut. If he's really valuable to the company they'd want him to come on board, because in a start up contractors are basically temps to help get it off the ground.

  4. sign on bonus on Ask Slashdot: How To Ask For Equity In a Startup? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ask to be moved to a full time employee and tell them you want this because you believe in the company and see it being a huge success. Stroke their ego, but don't lie. They already know what you're worth and there for you're less of a gamble than bringing someone else on and you can still ask for a good market rate. The bonus to this is if you work it right you'll be able to get almost as much as you are now and have taxes taken out and get stock as a sign on bonus. Tell them you're wanting to take a pay cut (because you will have too) in order to get stock as a sign on bonus. It basically costs them nothing and they will save money by paying you a slightly lower hourly rate.

    I'm confused. Only poor people stream music with their phones or download things with them?

  10. Re:A felony???? on New Bill Ups Punishment For Hosts of Infringing Video Streams · · Score: 1

    No idea why they take away the right to vote. I've never looked into it. It does seem silly that people on generational state assistance can continue to vote, but someone with a felony can't.

    And the right to own a firearm and many other rights as well.

    Finally someone with some sense and logic posting on this story. I wish more people realized it was all his fault.

  14. Re:you can't consent to child porn on Aaron Computer Rental Firm Spies On Users · · Score: 1

    To normal people that's not child porn. To DAs wanting to make a name for themselves it is. The world we grew up in is gone forever, because of the scaremongering of politicians.

  15. Re:Whoops on Aaron Computer Rental Firm Spies On Users · · Score: 5, Funny

    Personally anytime I'm on my mbp I just sit there nude while I program. If anyone spies on me they deserve what they get!
