  5. not enough info on Ask Slashdot: Experiences Working At a High-Profile Game Studio? · · Score: 1

    70 grand? 70 grand in LA or New York isnt shit, 70 grand in Atlanta is a good living, where is this magical electronics company?

    Whats the job position? programming a microwave timer may suck, programming the UI to the new BMW might be cool, or whatever

    Why Blizzard? They do not generate enough projects to keep every wishful nerd with a BS in the world employed "just cause they like starcraft"

    Why are you so worried to convince him when you obviously do not have all the info? Worry about screwing up your own life.

  6. Re:Why is it a bad idea? on Google Glass Integration For Cars Is Coming: Neat Idea Or Crazy Town? · · Score: 1

    "I've read that the current generation isn't quite bright enough"

  8. gawd on Amarok 2.8 "Return To the Origin" Released · · Score: 0

    ui improvements and visualizations, what is this? 1996?

    here is what I want a music player to do, play music and get the fuck out of the way, there is like 5 controls and they are already on everyone's keyboard, why even HAVE a UI anymore?

  9. there is no such thing as profit on hardware sales

  10. AD's on Google Glass Integration For Cars Is Coming: Neat Idea Or Crazy Town? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    what is the top and bottom quarter of my windshield now going to have banner AD's beaming me garbage I either A) already bought, or B) have zero interest, in as I drive down the road?

    I can see the potential of such a heads up system, but I also know how Google makes its money, its not by charity.

  11. Outlook? on Nvidia CEO: We Are Working On Next Generation Surface · · Score: 2

    OK I know millions of people use outlook hundreds of times a day BUT how many actually step outside of the core function email, calender, and contacts?

    Theres a billion and 1 programs that do what people want for email, thunderbird included, and as long as people can read an email and set an appointment reminder I doubt they would even care.

    Outlook is not a seller, hell it used to be a value added freebee

  16. Re:75% of my orders there were defective on Geeks.com Online Shop Has Closed · · Score: 1

    my last order was a laptop drive, tossed raw in a cardboard box and shipped 2000+ miles flopping around, and THAT was the replacement they sent me for the first one which looked like it had been stepped on

    amazing they lasted this long and their other company still exists

  19. tax dollars at work on NASA and ESA To Demonstrate Earth-Moon Laser Communication · · Score: 0

    we have known for centuries now that you can communicate using light or other visual signals in real time

    we have been bouncing a laser off the moon since the late 60's

    now, taking those two concepts and combining them, NASA is spending god knows how much time and money to communicate to the moon, WHERE THERE IS NOTHING TO RESPOND

    can we please for the love of god end the multimillion dollar experiments that a 12 year old does on instructables?

    yep, they magically dropped 35 bucks in my area as soon as the program ended

  23. Re:Congress would sell off anything for fast bucks on Congress Wants FCC To Auction TV White Spaces · · Score: 1

    I didnt bother reading your pointless ramble, but let me put it to you this way, the only thing I watch on TV is the news and on occasion the local sports team

    Where I live I can no longer do either with DTV as its so damn bad its just a broken up slide show

    yay innovation

  24. Re:Congress would sell off anything for fast bucks on Congress Wants FCC To Auction TV White Spaces · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    the outrage should have been when they took all this space, kicked everyone off, gave out millions in 40$ coupons, made everyone with a tv antenna buy new boxes, amplifiers and arrays just to let the shit rot for a half decade

    least now when I cant watch the news it might be because there is something better in the air, not cause some half retarded president got talked into flipping the switch for no reason

  25. Re:Economics on What's Stopping Us From Eating Insects? · · Score: 1

    "Rather than having all that cardboard and presumably paper go to rot in a landfill, why not use it as a feedstock?"

    cause its full of glue and easily recycled back into cardboard rather than a pest people spend billions of dollars on trying to rid themselves of?
