    I'd chip in as well.

  2. Re:Unfettered capitalism on Farmers Demand Right To Fix Their Own Dang Tractors (modernfarmer.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Natalie Portman naked and petrified. Pouring hot grits down your pants.

  3. Re:9 to 5 is a myth on The American Workday, By Profession · · Score: 2

    Yeah, everyone knows the big money is doing hourly work! That's why executives are paid by the hour!

  4. Re:Personally on Most IT Workers Don't Have STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math) Degrees · · Score: 0

    >Evaluating whether or not an applicant actually has the requisite knowledge and skills for the position would require them to actually do their jobs, including understanding (at least at a meta-level) exactly what the position entails and what skills are actually relevant.

    That's generally the job of the hiring manager, not the HR drone.

  5. Re:Personally on Most IT Workers Don't Have STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math) Degrees · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Getting a degree can also demonstrate that one might be able to do whatever busywork a job requires to be successful. The few non-degree people I've hired had problems seeing their projects through to completion.

    > The Mac-ites act like St. Steve cured cancer.

    I think it's quite obvious he didn't.

  7. Someone might care on GNU Hurd To Develop SATA, USB, Audio Support · · Score: 1

    There are what, maybe 30 people on earth that give a shit about Hurd at this point?

  8. Re:I'm Pretty Sure They Just Needed An Excuse on Apple Angers Mac Users With Silent Shutdown of Java 7 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Your information is woefully out of date. Oracle is where you get Java for OS X, and it's been that way for a couple years.

  9. Re:"fan guards in the system" on Apple To Discontinue Mac Pro In EU Over Safety Regulations · · Score: 1

    The newer ones are apparently much easier to work on. I've never had the problems you describe.

  10. Re:8 cores? Wow! on Apple To Discontinue Mac Pro In EU Over Safety Regulations · · Score: 1

    No, matte because of the brushed aluminum.

  11. Re:"fan guards in the system" on Apple To Discontinue Mac Pro In EU Over Safety Regulations · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you used a Mac Pro that did this, it was defective. Mine (early 2009 eight core) hardly makes any noise at all under load.

    And one where TomTom's navigation software doesn't exist.

  13. Re:Do RTFA on Woz Worries Microsoft Is Now More Innovative Than Apple · · Score: 1

    I love kids like you that try to pull the age card while being completely uninformed of the topic at hand. Wozniak is still an Apple employee. It was only is *full time* employment that ended in 1987.

  14. Re:First impressions on Surface on Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer: Forget the iPad, Surface Is the Tablet People Want · · Score: 1

    In what way is Apple restricting my use of OS X?

    > BB reads the GAL, live, no need to add/sinc contacts, as everyone in the org is already there

    So does iOS.

    > SharePoint, etc, does not work on anything but BB

    I can use SharePoint on my iPad.

    > Remote wipe, easy as pie

    Easy as pie on iOS too!

    > Virtual Private encrypted and optimized network, yep, that's BB only

    And the man-in-the-middle "attack" of having your communications go through RIM is BB only, too. Why would I want a dependency on some third-party for my e-mail?

    Ignorant troll is ignorant.

    This thinking is exactly why RIM is in trouble. "But we do business email best! We'll always have a market!"

  18. Re:Translation on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 1

    You haven't taken any college-level chemistry. What you're describing is similar to what's taught in a first-year high school chemistry class.

    Really? You think?

    Using your eyes, look at the surface keyboard. Notice how thin it is. How much travel could there possibly be?

    What are you talking about? They'll work just fine. My iPhone 5 works perfectly in my 2011 Nissan.

    That's exactly what I did, and the mention of that in the e-mail exchange caused him to go completely crazy.

    Sure. Send that back to 2004 in your time machine and I'll be set.
