  1. Well... on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, but he said his company only buys Dell or Apple, that's why I suggested him that

    Dell makes the m6600 m6700 and m6800, all capable of 32 gigs. Heavy as fuck tho.

    Let's presume the following... X is a coder. Let's presume the code business will/could(etc. just hypothesizing) have the same bubble dynamics like the real estate business in 2008. Suddenly, coder inflation. Now, a coder should get a useful skill, right? Problem is, he can't compete with a traditional engineer, or other technical profession (HR judges in respect to education, experience - and virtually no one hires overqualified people for menial jobs - that's fact, by the way) X is now in a position such he cannot make end's meat. Now, will X mug you in order to feed himself, or provide for his family and loved ones? Or turn to other crime? I know I would. Would you? Because if you say no, it's clear that you elude both common sense and basic logic, which makes YOU the luddite. AND/OR proves my statement that you live in a bubble.

    Piss off with that rhetoric. There simply aren't enough jobs for graduates as it is now. Intelligent people with firsts in physics, maths and engineering are apply for the same shitty jobs as those that struggled to get 3 low grade GCSEs. The population is exploding, the older people are not retiring, so where are all these fucking jobs then Mr Dail Mail reader? Fucking twat.

    Don't bother. He's either living in a bubble and has no idea how the real world works (he'll get mugged by a few of those unemployed 15 million), or just ill-willed.

  8. Re:Go Solar, it can make good financial sense. on Solar Power Capacity Installs Surpass Wind and Coal For Second Year · · Score: 1

    Probably as to discourage the use, Big Oil is more than a little uncomfortable on the subject, using all the rhetoric about subsidies you've seen above, that some people seem to buy into with rather ease.

  9. Not a bad idea... on Obama Proposes 30-Day Deadline For Disclosing Security Breaches · · Score: 2

    ...and pretty common-sense. It will be interesting to see if this gets implemented or not.

  10. Great.... on Shale: Good For Gas, Oil...and Nuclear Waste Disposal? · · Score: 1

    As if fracking wasn't bad enough. I remember reading some time ago a paper that was studying this exact subject and the probability of the waste migrating in the aquifers. Sadly, I cannot find the link anymore. Still, veeery smart. Hmph

  11. hm... on Nevada Earthquake Swarm Increases Chance of Larger Quake · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sounds like fracking to me....

  12. oh boy! on Tech Recruiters Defend 'Blacklists,' Lack of Feedback, Screening Techniques · · Score: 5, Interesting

    From my experience, the boneheads were almost exclusively in the HR agencies. And that's a light term for fucking-unbelievable-idiots. I have tons of incompetence-filled horror stories. Techies (anything from coders to any branch of engineering), IMHO, should only be recruited by their peers. Period.

  18. Re: 3 months for $5000? on FBI Paid Informant Inside WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of us over here that are FAR MORE pissed at the current state of affairs than any of you foreigners are.

    I respectfully disagree on the FAR MORE part. Given the fact that, in other parts of the world, what happens there is of utmost relevance for us. Everything that happens there tends to be copied by the rest of the world (be it malevolent or benevolent) by either incompetent or evil political figures. If someone pulls some nasty shit there and there is no opposition by civil rights activists, idiots(be it voters or the ones that are voted) will automatically jump in the bandwagon. I don't wanna sound like a drama queen, but the moment you guys fall, the next thing's our asses. So, sorry for the pressure, I wish I would not be right on this one, but something tells me I am.

  19. Re:Good for the economy. on Use Tor, Get Targeted By the NSA · · Score: 1

    I use TOR for the same reason I close my curtains at night and don't keep my personal journal out on the front porch with a sign that says "read me!". I just don't like other people snooping on my private life. Though if I had to choose between some random guy on the street watching my browsing activity or the NSA, I'd choose the guy on the street because he's probably only doing it because he's nosy, but the NSA is doing it to see if they can link me to terrorism.

    Ok, but wasn't Tor originally designed for the US Naval Research Laboratory? Government organizations being thick as thieves as one would expect, makes sense that they'd have a way to snoop in that software. That's what I'd do, anyway...advertise it as being totally safe, but at the same time having a way of controlling it. Color me paranoid or common-sensical or whatever

  20. I, for one... on Brazilian Government To Monitor Social Media To Counter Recent Riots · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since this is becoming a global trend, I for one, DO NOT welcome our orwellian state overlords

  21. Next, the world... on The NSA: Never Not Watching · · Score: 1

    There's an increasing tendency all over the world for such shenanigans(I'm living in Europe). Problem is, if this kinda shit passes and can be done in broad daylight (meaning it becomes common practice), other fuckhead politicians from various countries will have both the incentive and the reason to implement this. And they'll do it screaming 'LOOK, AMERICANS DID IT WE SHOULD TOO' .

  22. depends on the goal on Ask Slashdot: Best 3-D Design Software? · · Score: 2

    Solidworks, AutoCAD (CATIA, Unigraphics PRO/Engineer etc.) are software designed for engineering and understanding what they're all about, even if some have some handy CNC extensions(both proprietary or created by others) would require some relevant education in the field; I suggest you play around with the stuff people use for the gaming industry (Maya, Milkshape, Rhino). Anyway, my 2 cents.
