  1. Jonathan Schwartz on Annual "Worst CEO" List Released · · Score: 1

    is at the top of my list of all time worst CEOs...

  2. Re:Why just 2m and 70cm? on Open-Hardware Licensed Handheld Software-Defined Radio In the Works · · Score: 1

    Like 6M and 1.25M? They are both pretty dead where I live (DFW). I have a radio that will do 6M but no antenna yet. I have yet to hear anything on it while spinning the dial. I do have a 220MHz receive-only radio but all the repeaters in my area are linked to either 2M or 70cM repeaters and serve no real purpose...

  3. Not the first time this has happened... on F-16 Engines Stolen From Israeli Air Base · · Score: 1

    I remember reading a story about a couple of F-16 engines being hi-jacked from Ogden AFB years ago. We expected to see something akin to the Darwin Award story about the dude that hooked up C-130 jetos to his car and plowed into the side of a mountain not soon after...

  4. Speakers on Ask Slashdot: Old Technology Coexisting With New? · · Score: 1

    Speakers are the only thing in my computer setup that would be considered old. Then my Sun Type-6 keyboard is next oldest. Everything has been modernized.

  5. Huge success you say? on MPAA: the Impact of Megaupload's Shutdown Was 'Massive' · · Score: 1

    I would like to see if movie/music sales took a jump after the shutdown....

  6. Re:I really wish they would try this on Congressional Committee Casts a Harsh Eye On Vaccination Science · · Score: 1

    Where will the majority of the folks go? You know, the educated religious people???

  7. Re:I really wish they would try this on Congressional Committee Casts a Harsh Eye On Vaccination Science · · Score: 1

    The country is already divided pretty equally down the middle. Religious zealots want pro life, guns, war, and no Gubberment. Non religious sensible folk want universal health care, no war, no class warfare, etc. Basically you can choose to progress to the future or regress to a cave, depending on which side you choose.

    I'll take the former and progress to the future thank you very much.

  8. Wrong direction on DOE Wants 5X Improvement In Batteries In 5 Years · · Score: 2

    What they really need to do is make it a spec for the next DoD project and it will get done. Making batteries for the sake of batteries isn't going to provide the payback that a usable product would. Didn't the Apollo program bring us the 8-bit microprocessor? How do you think the 8-bit micro would have turned out if we just made it without a purpose?

  9. Re:What happems on In a Symbolic Shift, IBM's India Workforce Likely Exceeds That In US · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And who will IBM sell computers to when everyone is making $17K/year???

  10. Ham Radio Baby!!! on Battery-Powered Transmitter Could Crash A City's 4G Network · · Score: 2

    Got several amateur radios in my truck so no cell towers needed.

  11. Re:Good Riddance ... on Windows Chief Steven Sinofsky Leaves Microsoft · · Score: 1

    There is no way Balmer counts as the worst CEO fo the millennium. Carly Fiorina comes first.....

    I beg to differ. Can you say "Jonathan Schwartz"? Sure, I knew you could...

  12. Re:Updated map of states net fed taxes on Secession Petitions Flood White House Website · · Score: 1

    And I bet every blue state receives more than they pay...

  13. Re:Translating Roman Numerals... srsly??? on $50,000 Zero-Day Exploit Evades Adobe's Sandbox, Say Russian Analysts · · Score: 1

    Haven't you read the memo? And from now on, everyone must translate OSX (OS-10) when posting it's name...

  14. Re:first? on $50,000 Zero-Day Exploit Evades Adobe's Sandbox, Say Russian Analysts · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Nice try. Fail!!!

  15. ....

    You DO NOT have to get your computer inspected, you can CONTINUE to use it with the lit fault light.

    Can you say "Sarbanes-Oxley", sure I knew you could...

  16. TX - Fort Worth on U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience? · · Score: 1

    Voted during early voting (first day). Lines were long but it moved quickly. First time I ever used an electronic ballet. I'm all for technology but I prefer the old-fashion way...

  17. Re:Why stop at cars??? on Massachusetts "Right To Repair" Initiative On Ballot, May Override Compromise · · Score: 1

    If it were only that easy. One must submit the serial number to Oracle and then they use that to key the password generator to spit out the temp password that only last for 72-hours...

  18. Why stop at cars??? on Massachusetts "Right To Repair" Initiative On Ballot, May Override Compromise · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have a Sun Enterprise M4000 server that has the fault light on. In order to clear the fault light, I must run the "clearfaults" command on the service processor. You must get a special password from now Oracle in order to execute the command... I should be able to run the command myself without paying Oracle for a support contract.

  19. Re:Where's the same scrutiny for Apple? on DoJ Investigating Samsung For Patent Abuse · · Score: 1

    Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!!!

  20. Re:Where's the same scrutiny for Apple? on DoJ Investigating Samsung For Patent Abuse · · Score: 1

    And Apple is an American company??? Can you say "Foxconn"? Sure, I knew you could...

  21. Re:Messed up on Pirate Bay Co-Founder In Solitary Confinement · · Score: 4, Funny

    Can you say "sending a message"? Sure, I knew you could...

  22. Re:A look into the future on Scientists Who Failed to Warn of Quake Found Guilty of Manslaughter · · Score: 1

    That's because Triton knows as soon as Pelosi hits the water it's polluted forever...

  23. Re:Why choose OO over LO? on OpenOffice Is Now, Officially, Apache OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    Here's my brief personal experience with LibreOffice: I'm a long-time OO user and I have a template status .DOC and a template .XLS I submit every week for my consulting gig. Both are about 40-50K in size when I edit them and save them in OO. I decided to give LO a trial run and found that my timesheet was about 750K when I saved it. WtF? Out went LO and I'm sticking with OO...

  24. Re:Simpler, more permanent on Texas Schools Using Electronic Chips To Track Students; Parents In Uproar · · Score: 0

    I love the subdermal idea. I feel they should start tagging the entire human population. I'll be first in line. Imagine being able to log in to your computer by just walking up to it. Or have your car unlock and start up when you walk up to it. House unlock. Or house alarm goes off when an unrecognized RFID enters. You get the picture.

  25. Better hurry to the Patent Office on Samsung Creates New File System F2Fs For Linux & Android · · Score: 2

    Glad to see proof that Samsung does innovate and not steal everything from AAPL like all Apple Fanboys think.
