  2. iOS Office? No! on SkyDrive 3.0: Microsoft Gave Up Fighting Apple's 30% Cut · · Score: 2

    The majority of iOS users would not want office since they do not use it in a productive manor. They use it to text, play games, and send pictures of their penis's / boobs to random people. no need for an access database to sort your penis pix.

  3. as a large man it makes sense to me on Samoa Air Rolling Out "Pay As You Weigh" Fares · · Score: 1

    if you weigh more, it requires more gasoline, and total weight must be calculated on how the plane will preform. Now as a red blooded American, I also agree with this, if you don't like it don't fly it, or loose some weight, and stop being a pussy and saying its discrimination, at this point is about math and the total weight of the plane.

  6. Re:no help from linux users..... on Ask Slashdot: Mac To Linux Return Flow? · · Score: 1
    Thanks for reinforcing my point

    searching for an answer is much more difficult and time-consuming than posting a (usually poorly framed) question

    Typical ,Instead of figuring it out, its 'you asked the wrong question'

    compared to the POS you have chosen as yours

    Automatically calling something a POS simply because you are not intelligent enough to figure it out. That is the typical response you should expect when seeking any input from people who work on an OS that tries so hard to mimic Windows yet falls short because its stubborn community.
    Linux (as a desktop) is great if your just playing with yourself

  7. no help from linux users..... on Ask Slashdot: Mac To Linux Return Flow? · · Score: 1

    If this thread proves anything you will not get allot of help from the linux community as i found a over a decade ago, your on your own. If you want to spend countless hours RTM's that are usually out of date and may or may not work depending on what kernel you are using then linux is great. and if you ever ask someone a question the response will be in the realm of 'you should know this , its been in linux for 20 years blah blah blah'. OSX is nice and friendly for home users, the vast majority of the time it just works, however its mostly a toy and usually management just likes it because its trendy and pretty. Now if you are looking to get actual real world work done, Windows 7 is the way to go (not Win8). The fact is the majority of companies still use windows, business applications are still written for windows, and its quicker to install an application on windows and help online if you need it that it is on any linux platform without having to know what Linus Torvalds 1st puppies name was just to get some ones attention.

    by Irene Esteves logic, no one wants a Bugatti either, if they did they would just go out and buy one.

  12. Only 144,000 a month.... on China Says It Is the Target of US Hack Attacks · · Score: 1

    for a typical point of entry, that's usually a daily total, guess the US is not trying hard enough.

  14. I love DATA! on Elon Musk Lays Out His Evidence That NYT Tesla Test Drive Was Staged · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not a day goes by that some one says "I did this" or "I did that" and the end result is "I didn't work". Yet going back to a nice log file in fact shows "you didn't do that" and "you actually did this, causing your issue". I'm not sure when people will learn that you cannot lie about what you did when everything you do is logged, but its awesome to point it out when they flat out do and you have the evidence.

  15. working GPS and maps.... on Ask Slashdot: What Features Belong In a 'Smartwatch'? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Some people literally cant afford to be sick, I.E. you don't work you don't get paid.

    I've known people to get bad yearly reviews because they used too much sick time.

    I've known people to not get promotions specifically on the grounds that they used too much of their sick time.

    Not more than they had but too much.

    Oh and if your out more than 2 days don't forget your doctors note, because you have to goto a doctor and pay your non-reimbursable copay (if you have insurance) for them to confirm: yes you are sick and should stay home.
