  1. Re:try worrying about pollution on EPA Dismisses Half the Scientists on Its Major Review Board (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    how'dya like that regulatory capture? UNH UNH take it bich...

    Time to make a play in the canned air market segment.

  2. I'll be back... on Artificial Intelligence Closes In On the Work of Junior Lawyers (ft.com) · · Score: 2

    It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are litigated.

  3. "It wasn't carrying any weapons this time."

  4. I can hardly wait for the marketing blitz with that guy from the Seinfeld show. And the instructional video with Jennifer Anniston.

  5. CLASS WARFARE! STOP FIGHTING BACK! on San Francisco Politician Jane Kim Is Exploring a Tax On Robots (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    or you could have a rational capital gains tax...

    BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    Seriously, this is going to end in blood. They're already trying to kill off the poor. You think the latest thing with the oxy epidemic killing off poor formerly middle-class white people is a coincidence?

  6. Re:Senator? Clean up your own shit first! on Senate Republicans Introduce Anti-Net Neutrality Legislation (thehill.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    huh, with the exception of Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), none of these jugheads are from what I would consider in any way a tech state, that might have a chance of knowing what the fuck they're talking about. Sad.

    I see a lot of failed red states with Republican governors that receive more money from the federal government than they submit in taxes on that list.

  7. Re:I pulled all that shit out ... on Modern 'Hackintoshes' Show That Apple Should Probably Just Build a Mac Tower (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1
    ob:

    I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.

    In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.

    I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.

    Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.

    Sorry, I couldn't track down the earliest appearance of this classic on /. , apparently google doesn't go back that far.

    I'm sure some infinitesimal fraction of LinkedIn's data is accurate and not just puffery. Didn't we have people complaining here on slashdot that linkedin or other users were certifying them as experts at skills they themselves did not claim to have?
