  1. Re:well, duh on Bloomberg, WSJ: Student Aid Increases Tuition · · Score: 1

    Educational institutions are for profit first and foremost, everything else is second. Stop giving money to people who don't deserve it. Im not paying half my income in taxes so some shuck can go to nyu and get a degree and never get a job. Because just wait after someone else pays for college, someone else will pay for welfare.

  2. First of all I would like to point who cares? Second no one is to blame. This is liking asking our selves why users on slashdot so liberal. No one cares.

    It doesn't matter if they do improve. They can't come close to power generated from natural gas, coal, or nuclear. And this is why.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics It's been covered several times but these green trolls seem to forget...

  4. Re:convenience over quality on Netflix CEO Comments On Recent Decisions · · Score: 1

    I was just giving some metrics from the w3c, just one sampling so we don't have an error margin but it's close enough to explain why netflix doesn't support linux. I think we'll see netflix support on linux as we already have, such as with boxee etc. But as for the desktop to much work for Netflix.

    Also interesting from those stats is that more people browse with iOS than Linux, just saying..

    Proof? Exactly. It's closer to 2.6% according to http://www.w3counter.com/globalstats.php So is under 3% your target audience? I didn't think so.

    You have got to be kidding? Fairness because you want companies to support the .01% of the pc's out there?

  8. Re:Not teh people you want for non-routine work on With Troop Drawdown, IT Looks To Hire More Vets · · Score: 1

    Sanders than surely you just proved that my statements were neutral. Yours are not. You are failing to see the bigger picture, unfortunately government is growing, not private. So yes I would wish that this isn't the case, however it is. What makes better since to private firms doing business with the government, hiring people that are very specialized and excels at their profession, or hire people that have previous experience with government systems along with the long list of certifications and requirements it takes to work on Federal IT systems. I didn't make a comment that indeed the "quality" of the average person getting out of the armed forces is probably sub par to their civilian counterparts, as they're environment had different demands and recruited different skill sets for various purposes. But I think calling this propaganda is false as the top tech firms are trying to to business with the "growing" government. As I said before, Good Day.

    This has got to be the most ignorant thing I have read all day. Sure there are many MOSs in the military, some transfer closely to the civilian world others do not. Im not going to say the military has the best and the brightest, they don't. But I will say they do offer companies someone who might have a better understanding of the bigger picture and they're place in the hierarchy. Technical skills are not what is most important, fitting into an organization is. I recently left from duty with the United States Marine Corps, Happy Birthday Marines.( Today is our 236th birthday) Sander how would you define this article as propaganda? Who would benefit from an article such as this? Clearly it irks your small scope of the world. Next time you wondering why you have been passed over for promotion time after time and why you think you should be running things and your not, please refer back to this message. Referring back to this will help you cope with your failures in your professional career and personal life. Good Day.

    So they can't read, they can't write, what can they do with a laptop?
