  1. Re:Why not a British actor? on Leonardo DiCaprio To Play Alan Turing? · · Score: 1

    Sir Derek Jacobi ably portrayed Turing in the 1996 BBC TV Movie Breaking the Code. Highly recommended.

  2. Re:HEY SLASHDOT on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 1

    why do you dipshits keep posting stories that are behind a pay wall, what is the NY Times stroking your junk?

    Hint: The Thursday edition of the New York Times features their "style" section, home to lightweight lifestyle stories like this. You can glean most of the content from the summary.

    That said, I wear an electric analog watch: "It's in the wrist action."

  3. Re:Oh well on NY Times To Charge For Online Content · · Score: 1

    5 years ago, a newspaper publisher blamed the decline of newspapers on Walmart and the Web. Unlike other department stores, Walmart didn't advertise advertise in the paper. The web set the expectation for free content and contributed to the notion of the 24 hour news cycle. You're complaining about newspaper quality post dot com bust, not earlier.

  4. Re:Harvard MBA's fsck'ing it up... again on In SIlicon Valley: Profits up. Employment Down. · · Score: 1

    "reak" is means "prank," which is how someone might term their activity to emotionally distance him/herself from it: "take the money and run, joke's on you" /* End pedantic drift */

  5. Re:But where are the people? on In SIlicon Valley: Profits up. Employment Down. · · Score: 1

    The skill set employers seek has now broadened to comprise social adroitness (meet with customer), management ability, overall industry knowledge and technical aptitude.

    Few people, if any, are strong in all these categories.

    I suspect that anyone meeting those qualifications has their own consulting business.

    The job requirements remind me of personal advert's:
    "looking for someone who is
    -tough yet tender,
    -dexterous in the garage, bedroom, and PTA
    -silly yet serious"

  6. Re:Doesn't seem like the right format on Editorial Wiki Debuts At LA Times · · Score: 1

    I agree. Comments threads easily voice
    diverse responses to an editorial. Threads resemble unrestrained letters to the editor.

    I tried editing the wikitorial on the L.A. Times site, but found no editorial guidelines. The wikitorial site reminds me of the surrealist or Dadaist game "exquisite corpse," where you are the Nth writer of of story, but you can only see what the (N-1)th writer wrote.

    I hope against hope that this experiment is brief, but the new L.A. Times editorial editor Kinsley seems committed to a new news paridigm--no matter how misguided.
