    I sit corrected. I heard that he had a degree in business admin, or some such. Guess my source was incorrect.

    Like others, I read it as: our residents are using your product to harm the environment, and we want you, not them, to pay for it.

    I am sure there are morons who don't understand, but I think most people realize that a spoken word cannot get Alexa's attention if Alexa isn't listening.

  4. And if a waiter misunderstood me and brought the wrong food, I'd send it back and not pay for it. People in service jobs know to be sure they have your attention, and the good ones will confirm when it's clear you are attending. The bad ones don't get tips.

  5. Is there any logic to your life? I think your parents should be issued a refund, and you should be buried in a landfill.

  6. You deserve to have 3 tons of manure dumped on your face.

    Sometimes a deadbeat is a deadbeat entirely on his own. This kid graduated college. He's not uneducated, though it seems he hasn't bothered to learn much. His parents may share some of the blame, but sometimes, you have to grow up despite your parents, if you didn't grow up because of them.

  8. The entire purpose of computers is to automate (usually calculations in some form). If you're telling the compiler stuff it already knows, you're doing it wrong.

  9. Re:The reason why it is dangerous on Oracle Calls Java Serialization 'A Horrible Mistake', Plans to Dump It (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    What I've gotten is that Java allows the actual byte-code of the class implementation to be included in the serialized data. This allows code to be injected, and not just malformed data. I would think the fix would be to just remove the part of the JVM which creates new classes from serialized data.

    Unit tests will never catch the cases you didn't think of. Attackers are going to exploit the cases you didn't think of. Ergo, unit tests cannot ensure security.

    I hope I never have to use your code. You're an idiot.

    I fault your parents for not aborting you before you stained the world with your putrid existence.

  15. I am sorry I don't have the details to hand, but several months ago I read of a clothing store that had to stop taking returns. I believe their clientele were mostly Jewish Orthodox women who would buy something to wear to a celebratory event (wedding, bar mitzvah, etc.) and then return it.

    That kind of of crap happens.

  16. Your ability to post on slashdot is not a legitimate reason for you to exist. You should be returned to sender.

  17. The messaging apps and services of FB don't generate any income. They are worthwhile to FB because they funnel ever-more data about users that can be used to target advertising everywhere else. If the proposed subsidiaries are banned from selling the same data they ship to FB HQ today, they will die. There's no money in messaging apps. If they aren't banned, you've added paperwork, but have essentially changed nothing from the perspective of users or other EU citizens.

  18. Re:Natural monopolies in technology on European Lawmakers Asked Mark Zuckerberg Why They Shouldn't Break Up Facebook (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Breaking off WhatsApp and Instagram will either kill those products, or lead to them funneling all their data to FB in exchange for cash to continue operating. Effectively, FB will still own WhatsApp and Instagram, except on paper. It's a stupid idea, because it has no real effect.

    So it's a declaration which states that "big data" isn't an excuse to break existing laws? Somehow, I am not seeing the purpose of this formal declaration.
