    Is constructive dismissal not illegal in Oz?

  2. Re:Again? on UK Men Arrested For Anti-Semitic Tweets After Football Game · · Score: 1

    Maybe I just have a really thick skin, but ... is that it?! That's something deemed arrest-worthy?

  3. Again? on UK Men Arrested For Anti-Semitic Tweets After Football Game · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wtf did they say exactly?

    It appears Britain is trying to legislate a polite and sterile society rather than a free society. People need thicker skins, not laws to protect their feelings from being hurt.

  4. Re:Yes. on Ask Slashdot: Are We Witnessing the Decline of Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    The key to loving Unity is to use Gnome Shell for three weeks. Gnome Shell could make one grateful for Windows 95.

    They're called National Security Letters.

  6. Re:We need to push regulators to treat them as a b on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 5, Insightful

    PayPal in Europe is a bank and they still suck. The way to stop PayPal's silliness is to stop using PayPal.

  7. Re:Depends on what you do via Gaypal on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 4, Informative

    Gay isn't a synonym for bad.

  8. Re:FE F1 F0.fm on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 1

    Could be, but it's doubtful.

    PayPal in the early days nearly got eaten alive by fraud and they obviously have to protect their business from bad actors. The problem is not that they assess the risk of fraud, but their overzealous fraud department and the way they treat their customers.

    Also, fuck PayPal. I've had no end of problems with them in the past.

  9. Surprise! on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 2

    As tiresome as it is to read the same kind of PayPal horror story, I hope they keep coming. The world needs to be continually reminded not use PayPal because of they way they treat their customers. Why people voluntarily continue to use PayPal is beyond me. There are an increasing number of less evil alternatives.

    I hope PayPal becomes a relic of the past, like AltaVista and other things I can no longer remember.

    It's almost like the original comment has been run through Google Translate 30-40 times.

  11. Re:They didn't know he also... on Yahoo Deletes Journalist's Pre-Paid Legacy Site After Suicide · · Score: 1

    It's not like Google's any better, although Yahoo's a little more efficient at wrecking their aquisitions. Can't wait to see what Yahoo's wrecking ball will do to Tumblr in the long run.

  12. Re:Alternative on Oracle Discontinues Free Java Time Zone Updates · · Score: 1

    It doesn't. That's developed independently of Oracle, although IIRC Oracle tends to use a lot of code from this project as part of the stock JVM.

    Pitchforks in 3 ... 2 ...

    Not sure what they're trying to achieve by doing this.
