  1. So they want... on Google Search Will Be Your Next Brain · · Score: 1

    ... to think for me?

  2. What was the ratio of men to women? on Online Creeps Inspire a Dating App That Hides Women's Pictures · · Score: 1

    And the ratio of messages sent by men and by women?

  3. Re:yeah, ok, whatever. on Online Creeps Inspire a Dating App That Hides Women's Pictures · · Score: 1

    It's not really unsolicited if she registered on the website to get messages from man..

  4. Re: Read between the lines on Google Chairman on WhatsApp: $19 Bn For 50 People? Good For Them! · · Score: 1

    Lower wages - always good for business

    That's not true if your economy relies on consumption, just look at what happen to some European countries when they decided to cut on salaries and benefits to overcome crisis, people had less money to spend, they were already in-debt to the limit, that led to a decrease in consumption resulting in a big percentage of companies closing down and a cyclic recession.

  5. Re:Yes they did. on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Employer Perform HTTPS MITM Attacks On Employees? · · Score: 1

    Is your company disallowing the use of connected devices, doing full body scan searches and wiping out peoples memories every day when they go home? If it's not, all you said can be done anyway...

  6. Re:Illegal? I doubt it. on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Employer Perform HTTPS MITM Attacks On Employees? · · Score: 1

    In Portugal and most of Europe, a contract cannot go against the law. In case it does, that clause or the hole thing would be rendered void.

  7. Answer to #9 on A Math Test That's Rotten To the Common Core · · Score: 1
    I figure the answer to question #9:

    Write a subtraction story for 8 - __ = 2. Draw a Picture.

    Answer:

    Eight kids do a math test, six of them know math, how many of them get the test right?

    posting to remove accidental mod.. please mod this up :/

  9. Re:Don't tell the tax man! on PayPal Credits Man With $92 Quadrillion · · Score: 1

    Your argument is flawed... If you get 92 quadrillion you can spend it at the rate you want, effectively you can control the inflation.
    If you pay it in taxes and only keep 1 million, the wealth that you have just given away will be redistributed and will cause inflation.

  10. What is this for? on Moscow Subway To Use Special Devices To Read Data On Passengers' Phones · · Score: 1

    I couldn't understand from TFA what information can this device retrieve that the operator antennas could not retrieve already?

    It looks more like an excuse to give money to some company that provides a redundant service...

    It would, mostly, if they blocked all the traffic except for the required IPs/ports.

  14. Re:Terrible move by a dying entity on Best Buy Follows Yahoo in Banning Remote Work · · Score: 1

    Ironic is the default on slashdot. Insightful refers to idea conveyed the sarcastic comment.

  16. Does US Owe the World an Education Fee? on Does US Owe the World an Education At Its Expense? · · Score: 1

    FTFY

    I'm it's in the best interest of the United States of America to have it both ways.

  17. It would be fair... on Unlocking New Mobile Phones Becomes Illegal In the US Tomorrow · · Score: 3

    ... if carriers actually released updated to their modified versions of the OS with little delay.

  18. Re:Reverse Review of Poster of Review on Amazon: Authors Can't Review Books · · Score: 1

    What's stopping me from ratting 5 stars on all the books that already have 5 stars and then rate 5 stars my friends book?

  19. Re:anti aliasing? on After 12 years of Development, E17 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Font settings -> Advanced -> Hinting.

    There are way too many options for everything.

  20. They will until... on Ask Slashdot: Do Coding Standards Make a Difference? · · Score: 1

    They will until we all use editors that understand canonical representation of the source code and restyle it according to a personal preference.

    As a software developer for more than 15 years I'm amazed why we still used this archaic system of writing text for developing software.

  21. Re:I Wonder? on Windows XP Drops Below 40% Market Share While Windows 8 Passes 1% · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Or Tumblr on A Tale of Two Companies · · Score: 1

    Flamebait? Should be rated as informative.

  23. Re:Yes we need a reboot because... on Star Citizen Takes the Crowdfunding Crown, Raising More Than $4M · · Score: 1

    Rock-paper-scissors mechanics are one of the best ways to keep a game balanced while keeping diversity.

    You either give everyone the same skills and then its balanced but dull, or you have some skills outweighing others with an overall balance.

  24. Movie Fan Club on Ask Slashdot: How To Make a DVD-Rental Store More Relevant? · · Score: 1

    Promote a local community.

    Your friend needs to offer something that Netflix and others can't provide.
