  1. So SAP is just hiring more engineers then on Tech Giant SAP Seeks To Hire More Autistic Adults (cio.com) · · Score: 2
  2. Re:Trouble for Marissa Mayer? How about employees? on Yahoo To Spin Off Everything That Makes It Yahoo (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    haha, true. That voice though - she sounds like Marge's sisters from the Simpsons.

    Marissa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  3. Trouble for Marissa Mayer? How about employees? on Yahoo To Spin Off Everything That Makes It Yahoo (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Marissa's salary at Yahoo (wages, options, and bonuses):

    2014: $42 million
    2013: $25 million
    2012: $36 million
    And I'm sure she'll be getting a nice parachute as well. That's pretty steep compensation for a company that has performed so poorly.

    Meanwhile employees had their remote-work privileges revoked, allowing them to watch this slow-motion trainwreck of a CEO up close. And employees were recently asked by Mayer to reup for a long-term commitment to the company. Where does this leave all of them?

    Appealing to to the gun-loving middle-aged fanatic compensating for his other "piece" not working so well.

  7. Re:De Beers is going to be pissed on A New Technique For Creating Diamonds Discovered · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Da Beers will use the same marketing strategy they use against existing man-made diamonds - telling consumers on how "organic" diamonds are somehow better:

  9. More like a crappy garage sale than gold mine on Apple's Legal Fight With Samsung Revealed a Gold Mine of Top-Secret Information (bgr.com) · · Score: 2

    Like most garage sales the stuff was mostly someone else's crap that you wouldn't want for yourself. Apple's reaction to Samsung's âoeThe next big thing is already hereâ ad campaign was interesting though.

  10. Cure has become worse than disease on Microsoft Will Resume Pushing Windows 10 To Machines With Win7, 8.1 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The only good reason to enable Windows updates was to receive security fixes. Now that Microsoft is pushing spying malware to machines the lesser of the two evils is to accept not receiving any updates.

  11. Microsoft lied when they said it was an accident on Microsoft Will Resume Pushing Windows 10 To Machines With Win7, 8.1 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Microsoft's claimed their previous attempt at forcing Win10 updates by converting it from an 'Optional' to 'Recommended' update was an accident. With this latest news that obviously was a lie. Microsoft did that as a trial balloon. Looks like that balloon has landed.

  14. Re:Homegrown? Come on on California Attack Has US Rethinking Strategy On Homegrown Terror (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    What percentage of the rifles you own have been illegally modified for rapid clip remounting and attempted fully-automated operation?

  15. Re:Homegrown? Come on on California Attack Has US Rethinking Strategy On Homegrown Terror (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The assault rifles were purchased by a friend of Syed in 2011 and 2012. Syed didn't make his first trip to Saudi Arabi until 2014. This would imply he became radicalized before ever leaving US soil and before meeting his wife, lending possible credence to the fact that Syed was in fact a "homegrown terrorist". To be fair it's not clear if the friend bought the weapons for himself initially and then lent/sold them to Syed sometime thereafter.

    So I somehow made up the text and plagiarized it at the same time? That's a neat trick.

    The text in the summary drawn from the article is contained within quotes, signifying attribution to the article per slashdot submission guidelines.

  21. Re:Logic versus programming on Programming Education: Selling People a Lie? (blogspot.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure and how would that teaching be applied in a fashion that doesn't discourage people wanting to learn programming, which was the thrust of my question.

  22. Re:Logic versus programming on Programming Education: Selling People a Lie? (blogspot.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree logic and programming are two separate disciplines but I wonder how one would go about teaching logic outside the confines of programming without getting even more abstract and discouraging the student.
