  1. Brainstorm all you want on Brainstorming Ways To Protect NYC From Real Storms · · Score: 2

    but when you get the cost estimates back people will shut up really quick. everyone wants to talk big but no one will want to pay for it.

  2. Re:New OS on Windows 8 Defeats 85% of Malware Detected In the Past 6 Months · · Score: 1

    even better, since its now going to be on desktops, tablets and phones ... AND the justification of writing shit that is hardware bound is next to nill in our web 4.0 world, you only need to write one chunk of shit to fuck everyone up at once

  3. 85% holy shit! on Windows 8 Defeats 85% of Malware Detected In the Past 6 Months · · Score: 1

    meaningless to me ... whats 7's score? how about XP sp3 not ran by a retard and or parent? or even... thats not impressive compared to linux invulnerability to malware.

    how about this, you have a 15% chance of being a victim of a crime ...

  4. more memory space was required on Why Would a Mouse Need To Connect To the Internet? · · Score: 1

    what gamer buying a 80 to 100$+ mouse with 42 buttons on the fucker is going to have any issue with memory space (or storage space, which is what they meant, but apparently are next to clueless)

    my freaking work laptop has 8gigs and a TB hard disk ... sure it can handle some fucking macro's (not that I am paying 80$ for a mouse, I hate paying 5 for a overstock OEM Logitech from the computer store)

  5. Re:The real problem on EFF Sues to Block New Internet Sex-Offender Law · · Score: 1

    but one second after 18 years since birth is A-OK!

    seriously?

  6. Little bit of a knee jerk reaction on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Convince Someone To Give Up an Old System? · · Score: 2

    Google docs will be the exact same mess in 10 years that your current system is now ...if it lasts that long. Just have Bob tidy shit up and fix the band-aids come back in another 10 years

  9. Re:I liked Apple... on Google Doubts Apple Will Approve Its New Maps Application · · Score: 3, Informative

    " They put their own selfish agenda above their customers"

    well no shit, they have done nothing but that since the 1980's, what did you expect?

  10. Re:Apropos of this on Actual Final Third Party Debate Tonight · · Score: 0, Troll

    and does this board of bored housewives and retired orthodontists really have any insightful input?

    well if its that simple...

  12. Re:Is shipping on Amazon Charges Sales Tax On "Shipping and Handling" · · Score: 2

    ok tinfoil, if you are not paying for a service ...

    why are there so many dumb fucks on slashdot?

  13. Is shipping on Amazon Charges Sales Tax On "Shipping and Handling" · · Score: 1

    not a sale for a service?

    I pay sales tax when I get my oil changed for both the oil and the labor.

  14. Re:Good for Apple .... on Apple Pays Only 2% Corporate Tax Outside US · · Score: 1

    you act like cooperations only pay for things needed. Yes you will get higher prices if you make them pay more taxes, but the higher ups in the company will still receive their bonuses, yachts, mansions and etc if you taxed them at 100% or 0%

  15. Re:Really? on Apple Pays Only 2% Corporate Tax Outside US · · Score: 1

    I never agree with the more taxes than they have to argument. Due to their edge of illegal money laundering, they never have that fear.

  16. Sounds fun on Shanghai Hosts Its First Maker Carnival · · Score: 1

    you get to see all the latest crappy and half broken arduino clones and makerbot rip-offs.

    Personally I am done buying maker type things from china, by the time its over with I always spend more time or money getting something that works than if I drove down to radio shack (a half hour away) paid retail, and sales tax.

  17. SO? on Constant Technology Use May Hamper Kids' Ability To Learn · · Score: 2

    So does sitting in a near silent classroom listening to a teacher drone on and on and on, with little or no regard to if anyone is paying attention for hours a day, most of the year, 12+ years in a row.

  18. Mission Critical on Curiosity Snaps 'Arm's Length' Self Portrait · · Score: 0

    Glad to see NASA is not wasting one precious moment of this things limited lifespan on non mission critical tasks. Your tax dollars at work spending hours for scientist to send data to and from the thing and you get a facebook pose in return.

  19. liking KDE over GNOME 3 on Linus Torvalds Tries KDE, Likes It So Far · · Score: 0

    is like choosing to be kicked in the face instead of the balls.

    its still a shit choice

  21. Re:77c/GB? I can live with that on Intel 335 Series SSD Equipped With 20-nm NAND · · Score: 1

    Time will tell, I still have spinning disks from the late 1980's that work like a champ in my retro computer corner

  22. Parks on Cash-Strapped States Burdened By Expensive Data Security Breaches · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I live in a town of ~30,000 ... we have 2 new (pretty large) parks that were made before the shit started hitting financially ...

    what if ... instead of pissing money away on bread and circuses, they fixed some (any) issues?

    hell no! build a park, put brick roads in, traffic cameras! screw the guy standing at the DMV cause the windows XP sp0 running the whole fucking thing is sending out 1,000 spam messages a second while skimming everything you would need for identity theft for the entire county.

    I honestly think it would be better if we banned government from having computers, none of their employees know how to use the damn things, they are always broken, and its no fucking faster than when they were on paper.

  23. Re:I remember on AMD Rumored To Announce Layoffs, New Hardware, ARM Servers On Monday · · Score: 3, Informative

    New kid on the block?

    They have been making microprocessors since 1975 starting with the 8080.

    They didnt just show up one day in the late 90's, they have had processors (among many other products) for every state in the x86 game, besides the fact they are only 10 months "younger" than intel.

  24. Re:IT job from hell? on Living Computer Museum Opens To Public In Seattle · · Score: 1

    +1 here

    I used to get all happy when some old shitty 386 connected to a industrial machine at work breaks ... but I fixed them all =(

    simple:
    insurance
    medical device
    niche market

    just because you are deaf, it doesn't mean that you are too blind, stupid and lazy to look at the last 3 years of the same fucking article with the exact same answers.
