  1. Re:Dear Matthew on Facing Layoff, An IT Employee Makes A Bold Counteroffer (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Note that the CEOs are not the free market. Neither the free market or the investors have any influence re CEO salaries and benefits. And also note that even when shareholders vote to reduce or limit a CEO's salary and benefits, the board (again, typically made up of other CEOs) can choose (and typically does) to ignore the shareholders' request. So no free market controls on CEO salaries and benefits, but there are on the employees'.

    If the shareholders get ignored enough they will sell their stock in the company. If that keeps happening, people won't want to buy that stock. Then the value of the company goes down and the board has to take notice.

  2. The clear path forward when none of us can be workers is that we all become leaders

  3. Re:Maybe I'm more anal-retentive than most on 70 Laptops Got Left Behind At An Airport Security Checkpoint In One Month (bravotv.com) · · Score: 1

    Intelligence falls on a bell curve, and I would guess that with such a large sample size, the median is pretty close to the average. Number of legs do not follow any distribution curve other than y=2, however length of legs could work.

  4. As you simply dismiss that on the grounds of but-I-dont-like-it, look around and get your bearings...

    Someday soon, not only will all businesses by completely operated by machines, but all the customers will also be machines. Can you imagine how efficient it would be?

  6. Re:Trying to get shot? on Company Creates Gun That Looks Like a Cellphone (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    How is more freedom a delusion. Giving up a freedom given to us in the constitution is the opposite of freedom and liberty. I can understand but disagree with people against gun control using statistics and arguments about murderers, but you are arguing that it makes us more free to completely ban them, which is complete nonsense. And not only is it nonsense, but your entire post is pseudo intellectual idealistic crap.

    That is maybe the dumbest thing I have read in a while. "for the sake of liberty give up your rights" That's some strange doublethink.

    Grab your weapons and round up the militia, gov is going crazy with power

  9. Who is letting this politically biased crap on the front page of Slashdot, no wonder people are leaving this website.

    Enough with all the Trump articles jeez!

  12. Chromifying on Mozilla Plans To Remove Support For Firefox Complete Themes · · Score: 1

    The day they added the big overhaul with the new gui and the little 3x3 menu thing is the day I found the classic theme restorer addon. Why are they streamlining it so much? Isn't firefox for the savvy user? Isn't it supposed to have the most utility? Mozilla has their priorities wrong.

  13. SEGA did it first on Nintendo Hijacks Ad Revenue From Fan-Created YouTube Playthroughs · · Score: 1

    This isn't the first time a major gaming company hijacked LP's on youtube, ~6 months ago SEGA took down any videos of their old Shining Force game from youtube so SEGA really set the precedent, in a really harsh way
