    Easy as cake.

    Bird lives matter.

  4. At least the chopped birds won't be scattered about on the ground creating an unsightly mess.

    In what world is $56k rich?

    Sounds like a question for whoever wrote the /. headline.

    Might want to leave Denmark off that list.
    "I know that some people in the US associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism," he said. "Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy."

    Maybe they lack momma's basement for carefree gaming into their forties.

    So we are still not going to get the Silent Spring that we were promised 56 years ago?

    I feel so cheated.

  9. Re:New we wait... on Justice Department Appeals Time Warner-AT&T Merger Approval (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, just like back in the old days when Slashdot was warning of the AOL/Time MONOPOLY that would end humanity!

    Didn't end. Oh well.

    Yes, that is the impression I get from watching Russian driving videos, "THAT is who I want driving our courier vehicles!"

  11. Re:Is not on Ask Slashdot: Have You Ever 'Ghosted' an Employer? (linkedin.com) · · Score: 1

    True all that!

    a recruiter who suddenly discovered the candidate she'd wanted to hire failed to respond to 12 messages

    Anybody who uses "suddenly" like that doesn't need to be in charge of anything.

  12. Someone with a byline just discovered this? on Ask Slashdot: Have You Ever 'Ghosted' an Employer? (linkedin.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Personal experience, yes, though not specifically in "tech" industry. Pre-college I found quite a few potential employers who gave me enough of a suspicious feel that I never called back. Even after setting a start date. They just seemed shady and most of them proved to be. The rest, I just don't know if the managers or businesses are still around.

    Post-college, no, I am still working at the first firm where I landed a full-time regular professional position (Diagnostic/Medical). Not same position I started in, of course.

    However, we have had people do this throughout my time here and it is striking that the author would find it new.

  13. I smell a History2 series coming! on Investigators Crack DB Cooper Code, Identify Suspect With Possible CIA Connections (seattlepi.com) · · Score: 1

    ROFL, sounds like another crackpot book in the making and a decent check for a marketing firm.

  14. Re:The end is near! REBOOT! on 'No Drones or Driverless Trucks', Demands Teamsters Labor Union (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Teamsters might be better off demanding assistance in training for alternate employment. Perhaps as drone operators....

    I am sure their learned leadership was made aware of this option, and swiftly dispatched the messenger with a baseball bat.

    Good old featherbedding.. Tell me what else is new.

  18. Someone discovered that modern reporters don't know that methane comes from decaying organic material, like cow dung! Now THAT made this a headline story.

    See also India coaldung fuel balls, India. Just in case a reporter out there wants to get a scoop on what to do with the leavin's.

    I wonder if Chinese TVs will have less of that (owing to state controls) -- if true, I might become interested in Chinese TVs.

    ROFL! Chinese TVs with LESS monitoring because of their government? Funniest comment on the intertubez!

    By "election integrity" they mean making sure the correct candidate gets elected by votes ore stolen election. We can't have another donald trump or other populist candidate win. Facebook's censorship will really help them out!

    Exactly. And Facebook should never appear in the same sentence as integrity, unless modified with "lack of."

    A whitelist, by its very nature, is monitored. Same goes for prisoners. Somehow that perfect plan isn't working out so well.

  25. Stingray on US Prisons Have a Cellphone Smuggling Problem (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe not exactly the right tool, but something in that category. For some reason, the government can't figure out how to use Stingray properly and have a host of circuit court rulings against them.

    In a prison, the cell phones of prisoners are contraband. A Stingray like device could be used for intercepting those and figuring out the rest of the criminal enterprises.

    The BOP could also make cell phones contraband for the staff too, and solve a whole sorting problem.
