    Warren Buffett once said he would not invest in Microsoft

    Warren Buffett is really Jesus in a velvet suit who said he wants to be taxed more so that he can help the poor because he is really a good guy, so why would he want to invest in an evil corporation that might make returns for his own benefit?... after all, only 'rich' people do that!

  4. Re:mobile is for a quick check on the go on Ask Slashdot: Why Do Mobile Versions of Websites Suck? · · Score: 1

    mobile is for a quick check on the go not for hours of detailed surfing on a site

    if this is in fact the case, someone should inform all the younger generations with their eyes and fingers glued to their phones for an unnaturally long portion of the day

    either that or enterprising companies could get with the times and more engage/attract/exploit these users by building mobile versions of websites that don't suck

    mostly metal, fairly solidly built

    most space junk is built from extremely lightweight materials like aluminium/titanium alloys or carbon/glass fibre reinforced composites, and whilst they are strong and rigid they aren't necessarily solid or robust. apart from hoping the launch vehicle doesn't blow up, during most satellite launches the design engineers are crossing their fingers and praying that their multi-million dollar piece of equipment doesn't vibrate to bits.

    No WAY government workers finish ahead of schedule, unless it's for breaks, lunch or end of day

    there is a difference between a police officer with a ford sedan, a pistol or 2 with a couple of extra clips, taser, baton, pepper spray and bullet-proof vest, and a police officer with an armoured personnel carrier, machine gun, hand grenades and storm trooper outfit

    If a policeman holds a gun to your head and tells you to buy drugs or you will die, THAT is entrapment.

    no, actually that is coercion

    going by the clothing that some women wear these days, this doesn't seem as far fetched as you likely intended

    Creates a rather slippery-slope, though, in that you calling them "sick fucks", given there was no child in this scenario, means your statement is the only act that actually has harmed others.

    no worse than calling anyone who speaks out against the USA a "terrorist"... and then blowing that person up with a missile launched from a drone
