  1. Re:It's a money thing, not stupidity on FDA Sued To Stop Antibiotic Abuse On Factory Farms · · Score: 1

    If beef costs more where do you think the money goes? It goes into the hands of working Americans who made the beef, who then spend it in America, which then goes into the hands of other working Americans.

    Sorry, but the money won't be transferred into the hands of working Americans because people won't buy more expensive beef in the first place. If we take your argument to its logical conclusion, you would need to pass a law that would "protect" the American beef industry from "evil" corporations. Unfortunately for you, this law would enable bad companies to monopolize the industry, thereby lowering the quality of beef and driving its prices up.

    Yeah, macroeconomics dude.

    There isn't enough porn. What ever happened to the free IPv6 Porn project? :)

  4. Re:You were paid to do a job, right? on Ask Slashdot: How To Ask For Equity In a Startup? · · Score: 1

    I agree that some protections are necessary, but I think one of the defining characteristics of a first world country is that they don't protect labor too much. First world countries promote competition.

  5. Re:You were paid to do a job, right? on Ask Slashdot: How To Ask For Equity In a Startup? · · Score: 1

    Moreover, once the "proposal" is voiced in these terms, the only reasonable answer to that can be "you are fired, effective right now."

    I know this is somewhat off-topic, but I live in a 3rd world country with misguided pro-labor laws. Here in my country, you can't fire employees at will. I really believe that we can help improve our economy if employers can do that. Bad employees (i.e., the OP) are bad for business.

    They will replace it with the power of peace.

  8. Re:Advantages of CLI on Imagining the CLI For the Modern Machine · · Score: 1

    What happens if you want to move multiple files? You'll type it like this:
    Move *.htm to /newpath

    The shell would then expand it to:
    Move file1.htm file2.htm file3.htm to /newpath

    This will result in an error because the file "to" doesn't exist (or, if it exists, it will be moved without your permission). If you want to remove ambiguity, the current mv syntax works fine.

  19. An Idea on Tim Berners-Lee: Stop Foaming At the Mouth, Twitter · · Score: 1

    I have an idea: Twitter can add a feature where users can expand a tweet to show a more insightful version of the post. In effect, this will allow users to retweet a blog post instead of just retweeting a link.
