  1. Re:Exporting of Jobs on The Unstoppable Shift of IT Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    Just what period of history was good enough to produce happy children? And what is it in this present time that prevents children from being happy?

    He IS stating real life economics. The textbooks weren't written by idiots like you you know.

  3. Re:Advocates of freedom don't advocate this. on The Unstoppable Shift of IT Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    No its NOT acceptable. If the workers are living as well as the investors are then whats the point of being an investors? Investors invest to make more money then regular workers. But if it isn't earning you significantly more than a worker then why bother?

  4. Re:Wow. on New Dell Clickthrough Software License · · Score: 1

    You are VASTLY over estimating the career status of most Slashdot viewers. This website consists mainly of powerless geeks who are scrambling for a job, ANY job right now.

  5. Re:A witness turned him in?!? on Blaster Writer Caught · · Score: 0, Funny

    More like someone will be worming their way into him pretty soon.

  6. Re:Why does he think it's spammers? on DoS Assaults Underway Against Spam Blocklists · · Score: 1

    I know you are trying to be a badass and all but you are't drumming up a lot of sympathy for these blacklist sites. When I first read the headline I was angry at the DOS'ers but now I hope they succeed in shutting down every single blacklist in operation.

    A bad cure is worse than no cure.

  7. Re:Odd that no VPc for G5 on FWB Admits RealPC for Mac OS X was Vaporware · · Score: 1

    In other words, it will SUCK on current systems and optimal game play will only be available on "PC systems the likes of which we have never seen".

  8. Re:what they don't know won't hurt them on Telecommuting from Japan to California - Is it possible? · · Score: 1

    That law isn't enforced. My mail still arrives to my Mailboxes Etc address despite it not having a PMB on the front.

  9. Re:A bit inflammatory, no? on SuSE CEO's Two-Distro World · · Score: 1

    Red Hat would be one of the first choices to choose when moving from Unix to Linux because of the support options. The fact that RH uses rpm's is nearly irrelevant. Most of the Linux servers in operation today are in fact RH servers.

  10. Not true on Linux Corporate Influence: Boon or Bane? · · Score: 1

    You are missing one difference. No matter how many gunked up distros are released you can always customize Linux to your liking. There will always be distros like Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, LSF...etc.

    So there will be Linux for the masses and Linux for the geeks. Why does this necessitate a jump to another OS entirely?

  11. Re:Ultimately... on Worm vs. Worm Battle Slows Networks · · Score: 1

    A car is exponentially simpler to use than a computer is. There is no way you'd get public support for laws concerning personal negligence with respect to computers.

  12. Re:Power line emissions on During Blackout, Ham Radio Shined · · Score: 1

    Electronics companies would be interested in selling a device that made it easy for anyone to use a HAM frequency.

  13. Re:Degrees? on Ph.Ds in IT - Good or Bad for a Career? · · Score: 1

    You are on a special type of crack if you honestly believe it takes a PHD, Masters, Bachelors or ANY form of formal education to evaluate the pros and cons of a J2EE platform vs. .NET espcially considering the majority of .NET anything is still vaporware.

    Then again I guess anyone will say anything to justify them spending an additional 8-12 years in school PAST the undergrad level.

  14. Re:how silly is the government? on Profile of An Internet Bookie · · Score: 1

    In case you hadn't noticed church and state ARE separated in the US and quite explicitly. Care to provide any examples where this is not the case in the US?

  15. Re:Regulated means armed! on The "Techie" Vote? · · Score: 1

    So women shouldn't be allowed to own guns according to the Constitution?

  16. You sure don't on Apple to Accept Returns of Mac OS X on Some G3s · · Score: 0, Redundant

    OS X is supposed to be better than OS 9. Then why can't it do the same things on the same hardware?

    Apple TOLD PEOPLE that early G3's would be "fully supported". They lied. Why are you making excuses for a company to lie to its customers?

    Microsoft as well as Apple give cut off points as to what hardware will run what OS. The difference here is Apple lied. WTF is so hard to understand about companies that lie should be punished and those who seek justice don't deserve to be shat on again by uninformed Slashdot posters?

  17. Re:I am still mad. on Apple to Accept Returns of Mac OS X on Some G3s · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You do not understand the situation. The plaintiffs aren't whiners. We already pay more for Macs, Apple could at least be honest about its products. You can install and use OS X on an early G3, its just that everything isn't supported. DVD Playing that ran under OS 9 DOES NOT RUN on OS X. But Apple said it would. Apple said Mac OS X was the greatest OS in the world. So they can't shoehorn BSD onto a 233Mhz G3 and make it play DVD's? Come on. If OS 9 could do it, if on PC hardware Windows 98 and Linux can do it then why can't OS X?

  18. Bandwidth Costs on Nutch: An Open Source Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Who's going to pay for them if its a non-profit open source project? Bandwidth doesn't grow on trees you know.

    And slimy adverts? Google has slimy adverts? I thought they only had relevant adverts? Oh well I guess we need another dot.com that will go bust in 6 months or so.

    Sorry pal. Your Liberals = Atheist Commies line of reasoning isn't going to fool anyone here.

  21. Re:Techies, Slashdotters, and voting on The "Techie" Vote? · · Score: 1

    If our Founding Fathers had seen how deadly gun technology would become I doubt they would have put the 2nd Amendment in there in the first place or if they did they would have made it more clearly defined as to what exactly they meant.

    A non vote could be seen as a form of acceptance for either direction either party will take the city/state/country in after the next election.

    1. The website doesn't seem to work right now

    2. Is there supposed to be something important about being in any industry for 18 that absolves you of existing with competition?
