  1. Re:Congress sucks on House Approves Bill To Force Public Release of EPA Science (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Also, Has any of the EPA's information not agreed with the results obtained by any other environmental study?

  2. Re:Congress sucks on House Approves Bill To Force Public Release of EPA Science (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    I realize the purpose. Congress response indicates that they want to check the data.

  3. Congress sucks on House Approves Bill To Force Public Release of EPA Science (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    I, for one, have no faith in this new version of the EPA. Do they think the average congressman would ever read or comprehend scientific data?

  4. I get that, but they already said priority to Americans

  5. What does this mean, "and if they recruit foreign workers, priority would be given to the most highly paid."? Billionaires/millionaires first?

  6. Re:OS/2 on Upcoming OS/2 Release Will Be Called ArcaOS 5.0 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that no one has duplicated the functions of the Work Folder as it worked in OS/2. The OS was way ahead of things at its time.

  7. Re:Not only am I bothred by the phone-home, on ZDNet Writer Downplays Windows 10's Phoning-Home Habits · · Score: 1

    The fact that my computer is trying desperately to contact anyone, without my knowledge or authorization, is a definite problem.

  8. Bitcoin Bowl? on Bitcoin Gets Its First TV Ads · · Score: 3, Informative

    Did you miss the Bitcoin Bowl game, NCST vs UCF, on the 26th of December from St. Petersburg, FL? They had a few commercials on tv that day.

  9. Not a bit on Ask Slashdot: Is iOS 8 a Pig? · · Score: 1

    I have not experienced any of these issues.

  10. hearing aids on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Hearing aids that you get via your medical providers are tuned for the patients hearing. I purchased the "Symphonix Personal Hearing Device" from RCA for $300. It is a good device with excellent battery life. It is, however, a general sound amplifier and though it works well, it is not tuned for my region of hearing loss, which is the higher frequencies. It has 3 levels of amplification, plus a larger diameter tube that amplifies the sound as well. I can turn down the tv late at night so that the sound doesn't bother anyone else in the house.

  11. Patriot Act? on Congress Makes Deal To Renew Patriot Act For 4 Years · · Score: 1

    It's more patriotic to question the so-called "Patriot Act" than it is to go along with the thing. The motives of those pushing this act forward should be questioned.

  12. Son of Acta on 'Son of ACTA' Worse Than Original · · Score: 1

    Just wait. It will be law soon. The numbskulls in Washington have no idea what they're doing. If only the congressional was "Don't Do Evil".

  13. identity theft is a concern on Canadian Privacy Czar Wants To Anonymize Court Records On the Web · · Score: 1

    Court and public records contain too much private data. Identity theft is a big concern that you are overlooking. Public records can contain information, such as, your name, address, checking account number, identity numbers (like SSN), and other information that should not be available for public access.

  14. Re:Could be something good on FCC To End Exclusive Cable For Apartments · · Score: 1

    The reality of all this is, whenever the government does something to increase competition for the customer, it rarely ever affects the customer in a positive way.

  15. statistics on Misuse of Scientific Data By the White House · · Score: 1

    This is how you use statistics. You find the numbers that agree with your beliefs and publicize the hell out of them.

  16. universal on Universal Wants a Slice of Apple's iPod Pie · · Score: 1

    Start this week by removing, or refusing to add, universal group music to your collection. Hit the bastards in their wallet.

  17. two events on AOL CTO Shown the Door · · Score: 1

    How do you know the two events are associated?

  18. CAPS LOCK on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    Without the caps lock, there isn't a mechanical enfineer in the U.S. who could issue a report or answer e-mail.

  19. self-repairing fibers on Spacecraft, Heal Thyself · · Score: 1

    they already have fiberglass that does this kind of thing. I has adhesive embedded in the fibers to fix itself.

  20. Re:Great... on Brew Your Own Auto Fuel For 41 Cents A Gallon · · Score: 1

    The real problem is this:
    if you can make it at home cheaply, no company is going to make much of a profit selling it, so no big companies will have a reason to support it or push for its general acceptance and use.

  21. Re:One problem... on Digital Baseball Umpires · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is a game played by humans. It should be judged by humans and the compulsive idiots should keep the machines out of it. The game itself is subjective.

  22. Re:frist host... on Michelin to Include RFID Transmitter in Every Tire · · Score: 1

    Actually, they're working on automatic tire gauges as well as automagically pumping up your tires while you drive.

  23. whos bitch are you on Helping Your Ex-Employer? · · Score: 1

    send her a bill for your time at an applicable consulting fees for your area. Send it registered so she has to sign for it. Note your hours and time of day of your response to her request for help. If she does not respond, send a copy of your original letter to her manager and the applicable billing department with an applicable cover letter covering your request for payment. You should have asked for a fee up front.

  24. Re:heh on Why are Businesses Willing to Spend More for Software? · · Score: 1

    This practice is not limited to software. It's followed in hardware projects, too. I've dealt with competitors who have been paid millions of dollars on successive projects, never completed a job successfully, and yet win the next project bidding wars time after time, when they are the high bid, because.... they have more experience. The only thing they have ever completed is the bid.

  25. roll your own on Rolling Your Own Business Desktops? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you don't already know the answer, you probably aren't the one who should be building the new systems. Most companies I know only replace a portion of their hardware at a time.
