  1. Re:I'm not falling for that! on What Marketers Think They Know About You and What They Really Do · · Score: 1

    You have never used a credit card, applied for a loan, gone to a university, bought real estate, or purchased an automobile? Even the government is selling data now for a buck. Last month the Colorado Secretary of State was caught selling their voter registration DB.

  2. Re:Worse than Bush on US Forces Ready To Strike Syria If Ordered · · Score: 1

    And closed Gitmo, uh no he approved major upgrade and improvements. He got us out of Iraq, well kind of. We only have "Advise and Assist" units there.

  3. Re:If I had a nickle.... on Ballmer To Retire · · Score: 1

    ... for every time someone used a Ballmer chair joke in the millions of comments over thousands of websites that are announcing his retirement, I could buy Microsoft and open source all of their products.

    If you forward this to 25 people Steve Ballmer will pay you $25,000...

    The UCMJ is constitutional. The laws are passed by congress under Article 1 Section 8: "To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces" So you see where the problem is. And since there is no wealthy lobbying group for changing the UCMJ don't expect and sudden changes.

  7. Re:I have no sympathy on Apple Retailer Facing Class Action Suit Over Employee Bag Checks · · Score: 1

    It is quite common and reported in the US.

  8. Any History on Apple Retailer Facing Class Action Suit Over Employee Bag Checks · · Score: 1

    If their was a history of internal theft at these two stores than it is a non-issue. then again Apple should not make their products so expensive that their own underpaid employees cannot afford them. The overcharging-VZW store that I use at least gives their workers any phone while employed there. Manager said it is good advertising.

    My company has this type of system and it is quite nice. No paperwork gets misplaced and there is a status on your ticket. Yet our help desk still gets drive by's.

  16. Re:So... on Why Your Sysadmin Hates You · · Score: 1

    When I was a young sysadmin my supervisor, I'll call him GM from now on, was "asked" by the one of the new command officers (colonel) to come to his house and "help" him set up his new computer. This included installing W95, a dial up connection, and AOL. GM told him that his wife was out of town that weekend and he was watching his 3 small children, ages 5, 3, & 2. COL Pyle said bring them with so GM did and usually these kids were well behaved but today GM was oblivious to their activities as he sorted through floppies to install the drivers and read about the exciting new things that Windows 95 would do for him. After 15-20 minutes COL Pyle's wife who was already upset by having an enlisted serf in her house demanded that GM and his M&M stained kids leave.

  20. Useless but Entertaining on Managing an Elite eSport Team · · Score: 1

    But these guys are no different than a pro baseball player or golfer (with the Phil Mickelson physique to match) getting paid to play games. Useless but entertaining to someone. Yes I am jealous too.
