  1. arg on Opera Launches Facial Gesture Capability · · Score: 1

    what about my "act like a pirate face"?

  2. points on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    Okay I officially posted in the April Fools story. Points!

  3. Adsense Still Works on Google Search Flagging Everything As Potentially Harmful · · Score: 4, Informative

    Results from Adsense which appear at the top aren't getting flagged as malicious, so advertisers are at least free from the damage (but not on their regular indexed link).

  4. World Best Hackers, Maybe? on Comrade, You Are So Not Getting a Dell · · Score: 1
    'Our programmers are some of the best in the world,' Putin continued.

    Yes, best in the world at illegally creating a government-sanctioned (but never acknowledged), botnet of ungodly proportions.

    So what exactly do the other 99% of Russians know about PCs? Not much, based on my dealings with thousands of Russians every year.

    Let them eat Dells!

  5. No Citrix does not win on If Windows 7 Fails, Citrix (Not Linux) Wins · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's just propoganda nonsense. If the scenario actually holds true, then Virtual Engineering wins. This means VMWare's enterprise desktop virtualization, and possibly Citrix might get a piece. This is just a little Citrix plug. Wouldn't quite call it news.

  6. Ain't this like 4 years old news? on Scientists "Teleport" Quantum Information One Meter · · Score: 1

    http://www.quantum.at/research/quantum-cryptography/quantum-secured-bank-transfer.html

    was over 1KM in distance of encrypted protocol over spooky action at a distance, hence instantaneous. Why are we writing about 1 atom over 1 meter?

    Is there any way to stop propagating garbage news?

  7. How to get screwed and enjoy it on When To Consider Taking Shares In an IT Company? · · Score: 1

    I was with my former employer for over 8 years, and was the driving factor for all the IT consulting. We went from just myself, to 4 employees and over 1m in gross per year.

    I told my boss this is the time to take care of me, and the best he could do was something similar, 5% of shares which expire after 3 years, and 10% of net profit. Well, he always showed profit to be near nil to the IRS and for 8 years of growing the company I get 5% of nothing for a limited period of time?

    After many attempts to make it work I gave up and started my own company. So what if I can't call up my clients for 2 years? So far I have been doing OK, even in this down economy. People who are good at what they do are always desired in good times and bad.

    Tell them to get serious or go fish. Remember, if they were going to hire a CIO, they wouldn't make such a lame offer. People like this wind up hiring idiots who leave quickly or perform poorly.

    You are a valuable asset. If you're interested send me a pm and let's work together as partners instead of chumps.

  8. and this amazing company is...? on Google and Friends Release Net Neutrality Measuring Tools · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You've just been scammed! Enjoy the rewards of boosting some clipclown's unique visitor count so he can sell his domain next week. Eh? Wha? Orly? Yeah dude. sascha@ucimc.org owns 10 domains, all registered in the past 3 weeks, one of which is your beloved article header. Did you really think this product would do anything other than capitalize on your fear that your ISP is screwing you? Money made, hand in pocket with massive funds. Site soon to vanish. Oh surprise surprise. Let's call this news. Ya'll just as lazy as the next captcha authentication method.
