  1. Re:Hiring based on skills? on Ask Slashdot: Are General Engineering Skills Undervalued In Web Development? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The coding may not have been what they were evaluating. You failed because you thought the test was beneath you. Bad attitude cannot be corrected!

  2. Re:Obligatory car analogy on Schneier: Security Awareness Training 'a Waste of Time' · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Employee awareness training is inexpensive and I bet "Security guru Bruce Schneier" will provide training to your developers that is not inexpensive.

  3. Business needs to fund it on Obama Wants To Fund Clean Energy Research With Oil & Gas Funds · · Score: 1

    Because they will profit from it or they will not. The Government is in debt the money tree is dead.

  4. Bad idea on Google Removing Ad-Blockers From Play · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You did not agree to spam when purchased your Android device or did you?

  5. He will be forgotten on What If Manning Had Leaked To the New York Times? · · Score: 1

    Give it a year or two and everyone will move on without Mr. Manning. He will be forgotten until he is up for parole, actually released, commits suicide, or killed.

  6. Re:News for nerds? on How the Super Bowl Will Reach US Submarines · · Score: 1

    You are right. Lets bring back the draft. Hope they call your number first!

  7. Re:Term Limits for Congress on Nuclear Rocket Petition On White House Website · · Score: 1

    If you get the sigs post the response.

  8. Washers on Space Station Spacewalkers Stymied By Stubborn Bolt · · Score: 1

    If the device does not have any moving parts then washers/spacer should be fine. If there were moving parts the torque could snap/bend the fastner so then washers/a spacer would be a bad idea.

  9. Re:Have him apply to Microsoft on Ask Slashdot: What Should a Unix Fan Look For In a Windows Expert? · · Score: 1

    If he gets in to Microsoft then you have lost him.

  10. Re:This is not news on Blizzard Says Battle.Net Has Been Hacked · · Score: 1

    Authenticator! Oh yea it is free, if you have a smart phone.

  11. And they will rise again on U.S. Gas Prices Continue To Fall · · Score: 1

    On the second Wednesday in November

  12. Re:HP's iLO works for that too. on IPMI: Hack a Server That Is Turned Off · · Score: 2

    We use iLO. Nothing better than being able to observe what a server is doing during reboot. From outside of the LAN you must use VPN before getting access so it is fairly secure. OR You can reboot the machine and wonder what is happening. Sure the capability has some risks, but if you put some thought into your implementation it will be reasonably secure.

  13. Re:Whatever -- Smarts and Work Ethic Come First on Ask Slashdot: Getting a Tech Job With Skills But No Formal Degree? · · Score: 1

    Me too! It is what you can do that makes a difference.

  14. AC/DC on Disentangling Facts From Fantasy In the World of Edison and Tesla · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Highway to Hell" may have not been possible without Telsa/Edison so they are both equally important.

  15. Re:How is that different from simply old age? on Is Middle Age Evolution's Crowning Achievement? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not buying that outdated knowledge does not persist. For example Religion!

  16. Why Not? on Bringing Auto-Graders To Student Essays · · Score: 2

    They grade C++ like that. If you did not write the code exactly as the grading system was looking for it was game over. I would have been fine with it if this was the standard in the 150 class. An automated system for grading essays will not detect the passion of the writer as it only can grade the mechanics acurately.

  17. Just two digits on You're Driving All Wrong, Says NHTSA · · Score: 2

    Index finger and Thumb at the 7 o'clock position

  18. Find Important Dates on 10 Ways To Celebrate Pi Day · · Score: 1

    I found my DOB within the sequence. MMDDYY http://www.eveandersson.com/pi/digits/1000000

  19. Re:Kid Icarus on Classic Nintendo Games Are NP-Hard · · Score: 1

    Had a NES and played Mario when I was 25. My parents came to visit and my Dad really liked the game, but after many deaths Dad refered to Mario as "Mario the Cock Sucker" He was funny to watch as he would move his entire body to make Mario jump.

  20. Re:Kid Icarus on Classic Nintendo Games Are NP-Hard · · Score: 1

    I could land in Topgun. Took many crashes before mastering.

  21. Re:he got rich from fraud on Man Convicted For Helping Thousands Steal Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Ok, you are correct. Would you consider spending the remainder of your natural life in prison a just punishment for a non-violent crime?

  22. Re:horse manure gatherers out of jobs on Cloud To Create 14 Million Jobs? Not So Much · · Score: 1

    I have already done this once. During the late 80's I repaired electronics. After noting that I would no longer be paid for that skill I learned another. Now I work with SAN mostly Dell and HP stuff, but now I am learning EMC Symmetrix VMAX. Hopefully, I will be able to just keep up with the storage technology and not have to make another significant career change.

  23. Re:horse manure gatherers out of jobs on Cloud To Create 14 Million Jobs? Not So Much · · Score: 1

    The Mailman and the Paperboy have to be eliminated first!

  24. Re:he got rich from fraud on Man Convicted For Helping Thousands Steal Internet Access · · Score: 3, Insightful

    20 years for each count he could do 140 (a death sentence) for a non-violent crime.

  25. Buy this instead. Dump your GM Stock! on Chevy Volt Meets High Resistance, GM Suspends Sales · · Score: 1
