  1. Re:CEOs and the truth on Yahoo Called Its Layoffs a "Remix." Don't Do That. · · Score: 2

    CEOs like to use special language because they are all sociopaths and have trouble with the truth.

    Not true. Not all CEOs are sociopaths. There are examples of fine CEOs who aren't. Hmm, I can't think of any examples but I know I've heard of some once.

  2. Re:I wish they'd do it here. on NYC's 250,000 Street Lights To Be Replaced With LEDs By 2017 · · Score: 1

    We've got it here in Oakland. The lights were changed about 2 weeks ago, at least on my street.

  3. All I can say is..... WOW! on John McAfee Accused of Murder, Wanted By Belize Police · · Score: 2

    Jeez - I knew this guy. For me this is what makes this story incredibly interesting.

    He used to frequent a fairly small yoga class in Aptos about 10 years ago with his wife at the time. I remember he brought in a bunch of yoga books which he wrote and gave copies to everybody. I didn't know he was the McAfee guy at first but he seemed like an interesting person.

    He later suffered from the local small-town rumor mill for something he did that I didn't pay attention to.

    But this story is astounding to me! It reads like a gangster movie script.

  4. Re:not new... on Stanford Researchers Discover the 'Anternet' · · Score: 1

    ... and I just used up all my mod points.

  5. WiFi enabled printer? on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Print From an Android Tablet? · · Score: 0

    The hardware is there to print from a WiFi device like an Android tablet. Windows computers are able to print this way with the drivers available to them so it may be a hack to do it from Android. You would need a conduit to allow all apps to print this way.

    OTOH, printing from a given app would be easier to do, just have to reverse-engineer the printer drivers.

  6. Re:The Count of Cagayan de Oro City on Inmates Escape As Guard Plays Plants Vs. Zombies · · Score: 1

    The story would definitely not be the same!

  7. Flying cars are coming soon! on Popular Science Frees Its 137-Year Archives · · Score: 1

    The 1933 article on flying cars is wonderful. The article describes the general plan for a flying car infrastructure - using a lot of rubber - for flying cars - which use steam power. I would love to know what ever happened to these plans because it sounds like a sure thing from the tone of the article.

  8. Re:First step for symbian. on Symbian Blasts Google's Phone Initiative · · Score: 1

    As a hardware (ASIC) designer I talked to Xbox last year. They don't even run their hardware design tools on any Microsoft platform. It's on Linux servers running Synopsys and Cadence tools.

  9. Re:Yet another reason for patent reform on Vonage Barred From Using Verizon VoIP Patents · · Score: 1


    > It's no surprise that Verizon is one of the top ten hated corporations.

    Is this literally true? I haven't been able to find any such list.
