  1. Idiots. on The Case That Apple Should Buy Nokia · · Score: 1

    I can't believe I'm seeing a piece on slashdot that's seriously saying that thinning out the marketplace is a good thing.

  2. His only mistake... on Verizon Tech Given 4-year Federal Prison Sentence For $4.5M Equipment Scam · · Score: 2

    ...was doing this outside a CEO position.

  3. Also... on What Should Start-Ups Do With the Brilliant Jerk? · · Score: 1

    He was always the first to cover for doctors who were on call.
    He was always the first to volunteer to work on holidays.
    He was the first to get new training and share it with others one-on-one.

    Does this sound like a "jerk" to anyone?

  4. Jerk...? on What Should Start-Ups Do With the Brilliant Jerk? · · Score: 1

    I read through the definition of this brilliant "jerk", and I can't understand why it's tacked on.
    I see no indication that the aforementioned person is being a jerk, but so much as not really contributing to growth.
    On the other hand, he appears to be helping to keep the status quo, which is by no means a bad thing.
    Are you telling me you're going to fire a perfectly good worker because he may not have the best marketing skills?

  5. I'm surprised he's not already there. on Steve Jobs Joins House of Wax · · Score: 1

    Love him or hate him, almost everyone knew of him.
    I guess he held copyright over himself, and it expires a year after he dies? :P

  6. Electronic Crime Police on Man Arrested In Greece For "Blasphemous" Facebook Page · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tracking down those vile criminals, one bit at a time.

  7. Batteries batteries batteries. on Tesla Reveals Charging Station Sites In 3 US States · · Score: 1

    This seems to be a reoccurring problem for many an electronic.
    We've advanced far and wide in several fields, but we're not advancing (fast enough?) with batteries.
    Instead of focusing on these charging stations (which just feels like a bandaid fix to me), they should be finding a way to make a higher capacity/more efficient battery.

  8. Of course they knew. on Did Microsoft Know About the IE Zero-Day Flaw In Advance? · · Score: 2

    If I've learned anything from my current position it's that if a single person find a problem, they're usually whacked on the head and told to keep their mouths shut.
    The person who knew was probably a grunt worker in microsoft who was hushed by his manager.

  9. I don't see the problem here... on Walmart Abandons Amazon's Kindle Lineup · · Score: 1

    since Amazon and Walmart are major competitors

    Uh...Walmart/Target don't make tablets to my knowledge, why not make sell (and thus make money off of) a product of a competitor in a totally different field?

  10. Re:Bacon -- One of the Basic Food Groups on Man Pays For Cross-Country Trip Using Bacon As Currency · · Score: 1

    I could have sworn that the 4 food groups were:

    1.Beans
    2.Bacon
    3.Whiskey
    4.Lard

    Stupid Disney cartoons steering me wrong again...

  11. Re:Forget about editing just old Word and PP on School Regrets Swapping Laptops For iPads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Spoken like someone who's never tried to write a research paper on a tablet/smartphone.
    My wrists cringe at the very thought of having to do such.

  12. Can't win here. on Go Daddy: Network Issues, Not Hacks Or DDoS, Caused Downtime · · Score: 1

    If you were hacked? It shows your defenses are weak.
    If you weren't hacked? It shows you have some seriously poor management/backup equipment.
    Either way, less people are going to want to use you after this.

  13. In other things that are totally news on GoDaddy Goes Down, Anonymous Claims Responsibility · · Score: 1

    An elderly lady crossed the sidewalk, Anonymous claims responsibility.

  14. Hm... on App Developer Says Stolen UDIDs Came From Them, Not FBI · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Which side to believe when both sides are known liars?

  15. You're suspicious on Following FEMA's Zombie Preparedness Plan Could Land You On Terrorist List · · Score: 4, Funny

    By reading this article you're suspicious.
    By reading this comment you're even more suspicious.
    Want to admit something, terrorist?

  16. Re:Uh-huh on AT&T Promises To Expand LTE To More US Markets · · Score: 1

    AT&T has fought tooth and nail to prevent expanding/improving their services in any shape, form, or fashion because it doesn't profit them.
    Hence why I'm joking around about it.

  17. Uh-huh on AT&T Promises To Expand LTE To More US Markets · · Score: 1

    No doubt, AT&T also promises a 10% increase in your bill to pay for these expansions.

  18. Just do it anyway? on Jimmy Wales Threatens To Obstruct UK Government Snooping · · Score: 2

    Why "threaten" to do it?
    Like Nike says, Just Do It.

  19. Re:Keep in mind... on Ubisoft Ditches Always-Online DRM Requirement From PC Games · · Score: 1

    Perotti: I’m not going to comment on data. That was an unfortunate comment. We have listened to feedback, and since June last year our policy for all of PC games is that we only require a one-time online activation when you first install the game, and from then you are free to play the game offline.

  20. Keep in mind... on Ubisoft Ditches Always-Online DRM Requirement From PC Games · · Score: 1

    For those of you who are hardcore against DRM, the are ONLY removing the always-online DRM.
    They still plan on using a DRM scheme, it's just you only have to verify it once.

  21. Ugh. on Should We Print Guns? Cody R. Wilson Says "Yes" (Video) · · Score: 1

    Excuse me while I print out a 3D hand and a 3D head so I can facepalm without injury to myself.

  22. Re:Fuck you, Says Average Person. on Leave Your Cellphone At Home, Says Jacob Appelbaum · · Score: 1

    Brb, moving to Canada.

  23. Fuck you, Says Average Person. on Leave Your Cellphone At Home, Says Jacob Appelbaum · · Score: 1

    The whole point of a cell phone is to, oh, i don't know, be a cell phone?
    If you're only going to use it at home, get a land line. They're cheaper.

  24. Re:So, let me get this straight... on ArenaNet Suspends Digital Sales of Guild Wars 2 · · Score: 1

    As I said in another reply, if that was the case then I see the problem.
    The issue with the article and everything linked is that NONE OF THEM go into detail about what the exploit was, other than stating there was one.
    So by default I'm skeptical of everything. Thanks for clearing that up!

  25. Re:So, let me get this straight... on ArenaNet Suspends Digital Sales of Guild Wars 2 · · Score: 1

    I guess I don't get it since I haven't played the game at all yet, but if they were known to be expensive then I guess that's why.
    Blowing things out of proportion is something people tend to be good at, I suppose.
