  1. It's like Spock on IBM's Watson Gets a Swear Filter After Learning the Urban Dictionary · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Double Dumbass on you!"

  2. Re:Well, kinda... on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree While Working Full Time? · · Score: 1

    They won't help for a programming job. I've hired programmers, and give absolutely no weight to someone who has done server maintenance. I've hired network admins, and give little to no weight to someone who has done VB or C#, without OS experience. In other words, the cert has to be relevant to the job. I'd love those certs for a network admin job.

  3. Re:SSN? on Michigan Makes It Illegal To Ask For Employees' Facebook Logins · · Score: 1

    No, it's probably answers to security / password reset questions. Do you use your SSN in relation to any web accounts or social media?

  4. Re:They better arrest me then. on Drawings of Weapons Led To New Jersey Student's Arrest · · Score: 1

    Airplanes dropping bombs on tanks and going on strafing runs. All the time.

  5. Re:Why did they change the requirements? on Airlines Face Acute Pilot Shortage · · Score: 1

    Not sure 3 years is enough time to get that many pilots through the pipeline. You are definitely going to have to have the airlines help fix it, particularly some kind of exchange of training payment for a work commitment.

  6. Re:Generic name on Canada's Supreme Court Tosses Viagra Patent For Vagueness · · Score: 2

    Based on my emails, it could easily be V1agra, Vi4gra, or other similar. There's already brand familiarity & everything.

  7. Re:I'd advise against, purely based on cost on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Become a Rural ISP? · · Score: 1

    You need to do a business case study. Figure out what your stuff will cost, and what you would need to charge if say 20% of the people signed up. The do some market research, ask "Would you pay X for high speed internet?" "What would you pay" etc. Think about what staff you need. Will people expect 24 hour support? What if you go on vacation? Do you need a legal team to deal with the feds executing a search warrant for log data? Lots of stuff to think about and plan on the business side.

  8. Re:3 year olds don't do that much. on Are Windows XP/7 Users Smarter Than a 3-Year-Old? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Also the 3 year old doesn't have the years of working with Xp/7 to bog him down & set expectations of how the OS should work.

  9. How about an MA5B? on New HAL Exoskeleton: A Brain-Controlled Full Body Suit To Be Used In Fukushima · · Score: 1

    Seriously, this thing is armored already. Just needs a slot to attach Cortana.

  10. Re:Weren't they unable to mass produce spider silk on Making Biodegradable Computer Chips Out of Spider Silk · · Score: 1

    I'm picturing the poor spiders in massive dorms in China, being forced to spin silk 12-14 hours per day.

  11. Re:The 60s and 70s on Bruce Perens: The Day I Blundered Into the Nuclear Facility · · Score: 1

    In high school (80s) I got a tour of the U MD reactor. We walked up to the top & looked down into the reactor. It was cool, but again no big deal was made by another other than the fact that you could maybe get good grades and get to go to a school with a NUCLEAR REACTOR!!!

  12. I'd be good with this on Google Reinvents Micropayments — As Surveywall · · Score: 1

    If there's one thing internet users have plenty of, it's opinions. Plus, maybe it will improve the products I buy down the road.

  13. Re:Just did the same on Ask Slashdot: Stepping Down From an Office Server To NAS-Only? · · Score: 1

    "Iron Maiden is the standard" ??? Iron Mountain

  14. Re:"because it is built on MS Access." on Bev Harris of Black Box Voting Releases Accenture's Voting Software · · Score: 1

    I voted for "Evil Genius" but the system registered as "Godlike business visionary"

  17. Re:Don't get your hopes up... on Astronomers Catch Asteroid In Near-Miss Video · · Score: 1

    So Bruce Willis can get back to his regular job?

  18. Re:A records on Startup Applies For 307 GTLDs · · Score: 1

    Mushroom, mushroom

  19. I'm sure the students will appreciate the speed... on Groups Launch $200M Gigabit-per-second Broadband Project · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What are they going to use it for, pron & torrents?

  20. Why isn't renewable cheaper? on Americans Happy To Pay More For Clean Energy, But Only a Little More · · Score: 2

    I mean, once you've built the gathering mechanism, isn't the point of renewable that you're not paying for the fuel?

  21. Super-intelligent mice? on Did a Genome Copying Mistake Lead To Human Intelligence? · · Score: 4, Funny

    How long until they break out & take over the world?

  22. This is not good. on Whistleblower: NSA Has All of Your Email · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm mostly not a big fan of Ron Paul, but I would love to put him in charge of eliminating this kind of crap.

  23. Re:There is a bigger question here. on $60 Light Bulb Debuts On Earth Day · · Score: 1

    I think the landlord would probably hold your security deposit in that case.

  24. Re:B-2 Spirit unit price - $3b? Said who? on Sixty Years On, B-52s Are Still Going Strong · · Score: 1

    Europe wasn't "instantly" liberated - our Army had to push from the beaches through France and into Germany. Obviously there was an ever-growing part of France that was free between June 6 '44 and 5/7/45.
