  1. Re:nonsense, only the gov't can create jobs. on SpaceX Set To Create 300 New US Jobs and Expand Facilities · · Score: 2

    We had those same concepts in the 1960's; then some dumb ass said, "feed the poor, first." Then some other dumb asses said, "we'll start some wars." If the same amount of money spent on these projects were spent on Space, we'd be disucssing this issue; in space.

    Administrative Note: Giving a person a job results in that person being able to obtain food. As more Solar, Wind, and Fuel Cell systems go up, even with post production problems, the cost of obtaining energy is going down.

    Was Win8 the reason for their violence?

    Fire the Police Chief; assuming the Mayor wants to be Mayor. Recall Election is such a messy term.

  4. Whisky Tango Foxtrot! on MIT Removes Online Physics Lectures and Courses By Walter Lewin · · Score: 1

    Memo to Stanford, "hire Walter Lewin before some ass clown at another university does!"

  5. Re:Really? on CIA Lied Over Brutal Interrogations · · Score: 1

    Which ever ass clown at the department of homeland insecurity didn't do any homework in the area of actually getting the bad guys to talk is a bad guy. Any civilian survivor of the Korean War capturing by the Chinese army were subjected to the same brutal treatment, only then to become the bad guys they were being accused of. I think those involved should be indited and sent to Nuremberg for processing. They are the same people that allowed the events of 2008 to occur, and beat the tambourine for those "to big to fail". I want their asses in GITMO, swinging from a rope sounds good also.

    Well, these enlighted CEO's have been telling the rank and file to train in other fields of work. May I suggest to Edison International types to consider becoming a massage therapist?

  7. Hay Homie on Ask Slashdot: Can a Felon Work In IT? · · Score: 1

    You have tried to work with them, now work for yourself. Stop talking about prison life, no one cares. Offer your services as a software contractor. No applications to fill out; just your ablility to do the job. Do the job, get paid, pay your straight time taxes. Move on. There's plenty of work, but no jobs. Keep the paper work, do the paper work; then see what happens next.

  8. Chris Hughes Can Always Sell on Facebook Founder Presents Vision For The New Republic, Many Resign In Protest · · Score: 2

    To know the future, you just read the past. One of the strengths of those that consider themselves Digital Citizen is the lack of consideration for resource burning beyond the daily 8:00am status meeting. Graffiti scribbled on the carcases of dead trees is going the way of Cuneiform. People still read Cuneiform, but can one read yesterdays daily 8:00am status meeting; 10,000 years from now? The writers of Cuneiform already know.

  9. Re:Nope. on Chinese Government Moves To Crack Down On Puns · · Score: 1

    Actually, the parent is afraid of totalitarian governments. And that is a very real fear. But anyone that has measured the size of Rome, and the Forbidden Palace knows that they are not a big as they use to be; why? We will see how well the new super power has learned from not reading histories.

    Boys and Girls, Google your Grand Parents about the use, and historical applications. Only say, "Nuts," to them and see their faces when you do. XD

  13. Re:No on Should IT Professionals Be Exempt From Overtime Regulations? · · Score: 1

    Yes it is flawed. It only considers the next mornings daily 8:00am status meeting. It's a "Boom Town" business model. And only a few seem to make a lot of money. And the rest are fired any way. Do you really think there's a Tech shortage? Junior, there's a shortage based on Cost. This business model uses Cost as a god.

    Working longer hours for no pay may suck, but it benefits the economy by increasing productivity in a dollars per unit work completed.

    Then why not still have salvery? Your 8 year's view of the world is mathmatically foundationless. You don't understand? Lets go work your mommy and daddy 80 hours a week till they die in front of you; it won't take long. You would be amazed at the new levels of understanding you will aquire.

    Greed fears your looking past the 8:00am daily status meeting.

    What is really impressive is that local police can sign an NDA. I think it could be a skill level test.

    Administrative note, it was the DOJ that was making this statement. Little fuzzy balls with Gernade Launchers are just a part of it.

    It's amazing, the one part of the government that should not be private, is trying to be.

  21. Re:When we give money to the schools ... on FBI Seizes Los Angeles Schools' iPad Documents · · Score: 0

    I thought the FBI caught the students, "freely surfing the Web." I feel better when I', surf the net while in bondage. Maybe the FBI could have a training on how to surf the net while in bondage also? From listening to other LA Unified Certificated members, these educators do not have any training in surfing the net in bondage. Here is an excellent time for the FBI to do a public service by showing how to surf the net in bondage?
