  1. Re:If shortage == true then pay = pay + 1 on H-1B Cap Reached Today; Didn't Get In? Too Bad · · Score: 1

    I would, with all respect, call this "interesting". With a ridiculously high salary offer it's also very likely you'll get fired in the next few years because a company can't pay ridiculous salaries in the long run. (You want an other .com bubble? No. Companies also have learned a lot from that lesson.)

    Also. If there is just not enough talent now, you don't solve that by paying more. That will not increase the number of skilled people.
    If there is no shortage of talent, as you claim, and there are enough available jobs, which is the case, then people just don't want to work in it, which would mean there IS shortage of talent.

    Where I work the salary is good, but it's impossible to find people, just like the ac says in the other reaction.

    If it's true what you say, and there IS enough talent, you're very welcome to send the people over. I'm sure we can negotiate some bonus for you for skilled people. But so far we haven't refused people because they demanded too much.

  2. You're a programmer and you want a job? on H-1B Cap Reached Today; Didn't Get In? Too Bad · · Score: 1

    Here it companies are fighting over new employees. It's almost impossible to find qualified people.
    Please, send them over!

  3. Leonard Susskind on How Would an Astronaut Falling Into a Black Hole Die? · · Score: 3, Funny

    First answer: Alone.

    But I saw this rather interesting video of a lecture by Leonard Susskind : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf0D8A0jRiY
    It will probably not answer your question, but it's about black holes and they're very cool! Or hot. Depending on the observer ;)

  4. Next steps on Microsoft Creative Director 'Doesn't Get' Always-On DRM Concerns · · Score: 1

    - game will not run without valid credit card number
    - game will have in-game "one click" upgrades
    - instant profit

    btw. M$, do this and it will cost you money. this is MY idea.

  5. But... on Listening To the Big Bang – In High Fidelity · · Score: 1

    what if you play it backwards??

  6. Source? on Massive Data Leak Reveals How the Ultra Rich Hide Their Wealth · · Score: 1

    Well, if the data is real, I'm more interested in new found tax income and the jail time.

  7. Enough with it. on New Facebook-Branded Android Coming? · · Score: 1

    Personally I'm really fed up with the way my android behaves. Compared with Windows and a pre installed IE, that phone is a nightmare. I wouldn't know where to begin the list of pre installed SHIT that you can't remove.
    Also. What would you do with your computer if suddenly after an update, your whole system behaves differently.
    On, when YOU want to install an other OS, then ok. But this feels like some ass telling me I need a different OS and pushes it down my throat.

    So: No thanks.

  8. Science? on Creationist Bets $10k In Proposed Literal Interpretation of Genesis Debate · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If he claims creationism to be a science, then it's HIS job to disprove creationism. Not mine.
    He's the one that should be looking for contradicting evidence.

  9. Re:I posted thiscomment to Adria Richards blog... on SendGrid Fires Employee After Firestorm Over Inappropriate Jokes · · Score: 1

    Hear hear!

  10. Strange. on SendGrid Fires Employee After Firestorm Over Inappropriate Jokes · · Score: 1

    You make jokes about putting a HUGE sock in your pants and you're uncomfortable because of a joke about dongles? Strange.

    But the thing about this whole thing that worries me the most, is the lack of humour of people and people getting fired because of that. What happened to "I'm sorry, I didn't meant to make you feel uncomfortable"?

  11. Look at Iran. Perhaps it needs a little more government propaganda, but propaganda still is powerful.

  12. Stop pointing fingers. on Why Earth Hour Is a Waste of Time and Energy · · Score: 1

    China this and China that.
    That is only diverting the discussion from the fact that there is nothing wrong with doing something yourself.

    By the way: http://public.wsu.edu/~mreed/380American%20Consumption.htm

    Americans constitute 5% of the world's population but consume 24% of the world's energy.
    On average, one American consumes as much energy as
    2 Japanese
    6 Mexicans
    13 Chinese

    *Hands over geek creds*
    But I keep the root beer!

  14. Re:If you notice on the front page of ""slashdot"" on Porn Troll Panics, Dismisses Pending Lawsuits · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If all nerds stay in their basements, then you're right, but...
    There is a world out there and patent trolls influence the great work we nerds do.
    So if one is going down, we celebrate and drink a root beer.

    Linux?

  16. Re:Knows and Presumes are not the same thing on Facebook Knows If You're Gay, Use Drugs, Or Are a Republican · · Score: 2

    Would be a bit scary if FB, that also knows the likes of the partner, is trying to tell you "something" by showing that kind of ads.
    Or suddenly you get ads for baby stuff.

  17. Re:Knows and Presumes are not the same thing on Facebook Knows If You're Gay, Use Drugs, Or Are a Republican · · Score: 1

    There must be a category for "likes everything" too, you naughty anarchist!

    True. But it is still a good practice to authenticate using ssl.

  19. Re:i don't know... on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 1

    If we don't like your adverts, we will block them. (..) It is up to you to connect us with your advertisers via your content.

    No. I'm done with shouting flash banners, shaking animated gifs and shizzle, so I have blocked ALL ads.
    After that I MIGHT decide, on a per site basis, if I would like them to show me their ads.

    But for the rest I agree with you. If potential ads would be relevant for a site, they might even have some added value.

  20. Ask then nicely not to? on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 1

    One site I visit frequently gives me the option to see their ads or not.
    I like that site and second, and they're very careful about how intrusive the ads are.
    So I choose not to block them.

  21. Oh boy! on Apple Finally Fixes Unencrypted App Store Login · · Score: 4, Insightful

    /. redirects me from https back to http.
    So what about that?

  22. Really. on The Manti Te'o of Physics · · Score: 1

  23. Aggressive? on If Video Games Make People Violent, So Do Pictures of Snakes · · Score: 1

    Picture this: having to pay your taxes! It makes me SO DMN AGGRESSIVE..
    So: it's safe to conclude taxes are bad.

  24. Software developer on Developers Begin Hunt For a Killer App For Google Glass · · Score: 2

    Think about this: you're coding a nice algorithm. Meanwhile your goggles read your code and suggest improvements.
    Needless to say a copy of your code is sent to Google and patented even before you press "compile".

    Drones, waterboarding. Rights are worthless nowadays.
