  1. Yup. on Google Might Disappear in Five Years · · Score: 1

    Sounds pretty accurate to me. They're going to try to get into software-as-a-service, but free. Imagine Google Office. But instead of the paper clip giving you help, it will give you fraudulent ads based on what you're typing. It will probably mix ads into your document so no one can tell what you wrote and what's an ad.

  2. Re:Screw another PDF (the first one) on MS Calls On Kids to Stop Thought Thieves · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that is really dumb. PDF compresses blocks using the same deflate algorithm as in ZIP files. Making a self-extracting executable of a PDF seems like it could possibly even increase the filesize.

  3. You people are FUCKING STUPID on Microsoft Pirating Their Own Software? · · Score: 1

    I have plenty of Microsoft CD's like this. It's to keep people from reselling the CDs (e.g. on ebay). How can they pirate their own software, they have the copyright and can do whatever they want. I swear to god you people need to get a (another) hobby.

  4. Re:Technology gives - and technology takes away on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 1
    i'd pay $5-10 more per ticket if i got a free CD of the show i just saw when i left

    In other words, you'd pay $5-$10 for exactly what the article describes.

  5. Re:You've got it backwards... on Success Despite College Rejection · · Score: 1

    The other difference is that a BMW is far from an average car. But, much like an Ivy Leauge education, you get back what you put in. If you drive a BMW like a grandmother then you've wasted your money.

  6. You are correct.. on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    most tech companies have increased revenues while not expanding to match growth (or continue to "downsize"). Profits are booming. 4Q earnings should be impressive.

  7. Economic and human law... on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    "Benefits become entitlements". Don't start giving or letting someone have something if you can't afford to keep giving it.

  8. What are you talking about on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    That is precisely the attitude! Success at all costs!

  9. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD on Slashdot Turns 5 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Stop saying "JUMPED THE SHARK"!! It appeared in an article about 4 months ago and now everyone is using it because it makes them feel smart. FUCKING STOP IT!! IT'S A DUMB FUCKING PHRASE, IT'S REALLY FREAKING RETARDED!!

  10. Yes! on The First Automotive Easter Egg? · · Score: 1

    The AC-Delco radio in my 86 Nova (rebadged Corolla) had that too. I thought it was kind of weird, but couldn't figure out why they would build it to do that, because there was no way it didn't COST money to build it that way.

  11. Re:But I don't live in... on The First Automotive Easter Egg? · · Score: 1

    Usually it's a process hindered by the PERSON in front of you, not their car. I've been stuck behind many cars far faster than my own merging at 40, BRAKING, etc.

  12. Here's How on HOWTO: Spend A Billion Dollars · · Score: 1

    Strippers and Blackjack.

  13. I have a question on Talk To a Convicted Warez Guy · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    How fucking stupid can you be? Was it worth it? What's the fucking point? Oh, I forgot, you're a "freedom fighter".

    Oh well, see you in 33 months..

  14. Re:Terrorism? on One Year After September 11 · · Score: 1
    Hmm. Well, I guess it's ok then.

    Moron.

  15. One question.. on Napster Not To Blame · · Score: 0, Troll

    What the fuck is LNUX doing at 1.54? Buyout rumors?? Why would anyone want them?

  16. Re:Handgun cases on How To Travel With LCD Gaming Screen? · · Score: 1

    Hehe. But then he can be like Indiana Jones :)

  17. No. on How To Travel With LCD Gaming Screen? · · Score: 1

    Buy a laptop.

  18. Re:People have entirely too much time on their han on Google Art Creator · · Score: 1

    You mean like this?

  19. Re:Solution to low battery and hover problems on Micro Air Vehicles · · Score: 1

    Many flocking birds have a magnetic sense that allows them to know which direction they should be flying in.. perhaps this could be harnessed to control the general direction that an individual bird carrying a payload flies in, in the way you describe.

  20. What's Weird on NYT Discovers the Panopticon · · Score: 1

    It's not that he was able to find those things about her. We all know that. It's not really that he looked in the first place -- after all, he was hiring her to work for him. No, the thing that was really weird, was that he looked for these things, and he found them, and then, he printed them out.

  21. Re:Ugh... on NYT Discovers the Panopticon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I guess it would not be a bad idea to periodically search for yourself to try and least be aware of stuff like this.

  22. Re:Not that new on Black Boxes to Track Driving Habits? · · Score: 1
    Maybe this?

    Quote:

    "I'm gonna tell our people that every time they have probable cause to believe that a crime occurred, and we're doing accident reconstruction, to see if there's a box, and see if we can use it to buttress our findings," said Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor.
  23. Re:Not that new on Black Boxes to Track Driving Habits? · · Score: 1

    Do you happen to remember what this luxury car was, or who made it?

  24. Re:Wardriving on Black Boxes to Track Driving Habits? · · Score: 1

    I don't get it. What's "Wardriving"?

  25. Re:These are pretty easy on Tech-Interview Riddles · · Score: 1
    1. Put on both condoms
    2. Have sex
    3. Take one off
    4. Have sex again
    5. Put the one you took off, back on, only inside out
    6. Have sex again

    Of course, this is totally stupid.
