  1. Hay H1B Applicants! on Demand For Linux Skills Rising This Year · · Score: 1

    Time to dump Mac and Windose manuals and download a Linux copy today! American jobs are waiting for you!

  2. A Fitting Punishment on Snowden Reportedly In Talks To Return To US To Face Trial · · Score: 1

    Put Snowden in charge of the NSA for 20 years; I can really think of no better punishment. At this point, GITMO looks like a day spa.

  3. Re:on *average* on Study: Refactoring Doesn't Improve Code Quality · · Score: 1

    Sri Lanka, and simple in the same sentence; well maybe they are eager to learn more of the H1B ways?

  4. Re:Maintainable... on Study: Refactoring Doesn't Improve Code Quality · · Score: 1

    Maybe Sri Lanka's coders chant that Refactoring is evil, and that only new code from them will save us all? Otherwise their logic makes no sense.

  5. Re:Brain drain on Marissa Mayer On Turning Around Yahoo · · Score: 2

    Beats me, I always considered H1B brains to be like tampons; maybe she came up short day and while digging in the champagne bucket, she got her next Epiphany?

  6. Re:news, why? on 42 Artificial Intelligences Are Going Head To Head In "Civilization V" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My first reaction was, "cool." It's 2 A.I.'s from Seth's crew, and 45 from other folks. It's a shame we'll not see the process of the outcome. This is only one application of A.I., not the A.I. in total. It one can see the various moves of the game happen; I'm going to go microwave some pop corn, and kick back to watch.

  7. Re:is it an engine or a display model? on Researchers Create World's First 3D-Printed Jet Engines · · Score: 1

    Progress has to start somewhere, usually at the bottom of the learning curve.

  8. Re:is it an engine or a display model? on Researchers Create World's First 3D-Printed Jet Engines · · Score: 1

    Is there such a thing as a "simple" jet engine that a 3D metal printer could build?

  9. Re:#1 slashdot article submitters on 5 White Collar Jobs Robots Already Have Taken · · Score: 1

    Maybe its time to start learning A.I. programming?

  10. Re:minority report? on US Govt and Private Sector Developing "Precrime" System Against Cyber-Attacks · · Score: 1

    Or one of the maids that serve at the pleasure of the Kroch's?

  11. Re:post-US Constituiton on US Govt and Private Sector Developing "Precrime" System Against Cyber-Attacks · · Score: 1

    Given the following: "One company, Battelle, has included the offer to develop a technique for de-anonymizing BItcoin transactions (pdf) as part of CAUSE's security-gathering activities." Which means if I use Bltcoin, then I'm a bad guy? 'Count' me in.

  12. Re:Simple Economics on How One Climate-Change Skeptic Has Profited From Corporate Interests · · Score: 1

    Maybe the one's with long fangs will bequieth their wealth to them?

  13. Re: H-1B Visas Proving Awful For Americans on H-1B Visas Proving Lucrative For Engineers, Dev Leads · · Score: 1

    Benefiting from an H1B visa? Put it on a T-Shirt.

  14. Re: H-1B Visas Proving Awful For Americans on H-1B Visas Proving Lucrative For Engineers, Dev Leads · · Score: 1

    Actually, this A/C is more than correct. Point in fact, Edison International in southern California is firing its 400 plus software staff and having them train their H1B replacements. That's after the fact that this same utility is responsible for the shut down of a nuclear power plant. That was caused by out sourcing replacement parts engineering and manufacturing. Add the fact that the walking dead that voted in this congress think they'll get a piece of the action if they join the billionaires litany. It just doesn't end.

  15. Simple Economics on How One Climate-Change Skeptic Has Profited From Corporate Interests · · Score: 1

    Those who screen the loudest are the ones that stand to lose the most. I'm just surpized that the Kroch's haven't started making contingency plans; other than the XL Pipe Line. Maybe further up river?

  16. Re:Bans Don't Work on Wired On 3-D Printers As Fraud Enablers · · Score: 1

    "making money of of 3-D printed designs," at what point did money change hands?

  17. Re:If it is not commercial, it is not infringing on Wired On 3-D Printers As Fraud Enablers · · Score: 1

    I think you may have uncovered IP Lawyers real contentions, by following the words of Deep Thoat, when discussing money.

  18. IP Lawyers Unite! on Wired On 3-D Printers As Fraud Enablers · · Score: 1

    Maybe IP Lawyers should consider what many of us have had no choice but to consider; go and get training in something else. But from a more personal perspective, go find the ancient burial ground of the Buggy Wip Maker. Travel Agents, and American Engineers are been cheerfully shown the way.

  19. A New Sheriff in Town? on Ask Slashdot: How Can Technology Improve the Judicial System? · · Score: 1

    What would Constitutional Law be viewed like if it was handled by a Machine Learning program wraped in AIML? Would Citizens United still be?

  20. Re:no on Samsung's Portable SSD T1 Tested · · Score: 1

    I was thinking that Samsung had brought forth a PETA Byte(1PT) drive!? Only to discover that it was a 1TB poser. Pity, I think I'll sell short.

  21. Re:Best news I've heard all day on Researchers Block HIV Infection In Monkeys With Artificial Protein · · Score: 1

    And here I was thinking the study had been conducted in the halls of congress; now I can not get the picture of a primate in the halls of congress walking around with a condom on.

  22. What Interests You Today? on Interviews: Ask Stephen Wolfram a Question · · Score: 1

    What questions are you asking?

  23. Re:Technology can NOT eliminate work. on What To Do After Robots Take Your Job · · Score: 1

    Incorrect, you cannot win the game unless you know the rules.
