  1. Re:This is unacceptable on Brendan Eich Steps Down As Mozilla CEO · · Score: 1

    The one espousing the view often can't. You think it is fine to quantify and qualify things as you see fit and use those metrics to define what is right and wrong. Would you lose your job if your private actions where made public? Do you think people should be forced to publicly declare what they support even thought we submit private ballots? Are you willing to let your life be stripped bare in public and take the resulting actions?

    So in affect the behavior is OK if it isn't public? He's the same guy running Mozilla if his donation isn't public. Would you lose your job if some of your private behavior was public? Are you lying to your employer by the lie of omission?

    You're espousing fascist views.

    Those fighting for "rights" often overlook the right of others to their rights. Maybe he shouldn't have to have his donations published in the first place. Why can't I have a right to privacy about what I support and belief in. I disagree with Eich's position but he has a right to believe it. I'd suggest a more rational tact is to work at showing society in general that bigotry in any form is bad.

    You think that this is the best way for the issue to be handled? I don't agree with the man but I don't like the tactics and don't believe he should have lost his job over it. Are you without "sin".

    This is the same, it is a group of people, McCarthy didn't act alone, going after those that disagree with them. You're attempts at portraying this as different fall flat. I don't agree with the man but I don't find the bullying, and that is what it is, tasteful. You will have to interact with those in life that you don't agree with, that is just the truth.

    I don't agree with his position, but I don't think he should lose his job over it. It is ridiculous to me. There is plenty I disagree with in the world but McCarthy like tactics aren't acceptable to me.

    Is it only bad because he is CEO? Can the mailroom kid hate anybody he wants publicly without regard to worrying about losing his job?

    So if we all put our truths out there, what then? I can guarantee I've had life experiences that some would fine abhorrent, am I only keeping my job through the lie of ommission?

  13. This is unacceptable on Brendan Eich Steps Down As Mozilla CEO · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I feel bad for him, it is only because of his public position that this is an issue. If you dig deep enough, none of us should keep our jobs.

  14. The Builder is working for himself presumably on Ask Slashdot: Should Developers Fix Bugs They Cause On Their Own Time? · · Score: 1

    If he is the amount he is charging doesn't change, he just ends up earning less per hour. If the builder is an hourly employee he will be getting paid hourly but the company he works for will make less money or even lose money. You are an employee, you receive an hourly wage or a salary for your efforts. If the company finds your efforts lacking they can fire you.

    RMS is a fascist really. If the guy had to make a living he'd see different. He may be unpaid but we all can't live in our offices at MIT. His position gives him the ability to live how he lives, it wouldn't work for most.

    You missed my point about the big screen too? The Wii's biggest issue is computing and graphics power. Everybody I know that owns a Wii just wishes that Nintendo had released an update with a faster processor and better graphics. I knew Nintendo made a mistake the first time I saw the Wii U. They are know at the point were they need to start targeting other platforms to survive as the result of their shortsightedness.

    I like playing on my big screen with my kids, our handheld devices don't facilitate family interaction. Nintendo effed up.
