  1. I get you, but I think he was implying what wiser of us are starting to wonder: is it the right thing to do, just for the sake of upeasing some people, even though it might hurt the company in the long run?

  2. Re: Sweet news! on Americans Are Dying Younger, Saving Corporations Billions (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If you died older your coffin will be smaller most probably so the funeral will cost less. It's a good way to die.

  3. Re:Too little, too late on Mazda Announces Breakthrough In Long-Coveted Engine Technology (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You regularly make 500+ miles? Are you a taxi driver? Do you actually get outside of your car at all?

  4. Couldn't have been said better. LOL

  5. Disneyland and M$ Office competition in one sentence goes really well together.

  6. Re:How about no on Ask Slashdot: Are Interactive Computing Devices Addictive? · · Score: 1

    If someone is satisfied with his or hers life, as in *being happy*, addicted to *whatever*, why is it being bad for as long as it's not hurting other people? I'm quite fine with other people being addicted to whatever they want, for as long as they don't hurt anyone in the process. If they want to kill themselves slowly, then be it.

  7. Re:Water cycle jeopardized? on New Catalyst Is Better At Splitting Water Into Hydrogen And Oxygen (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    You do know that more than 70% of *Earth* is water? Good.

  8. Re:This is what real fascism looks like on Syrian Open Source Developer Bassel Khartabil Believed Executed (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Yes, this is what real fascism looks like. Be prepared.

  9. That one is easy to avoid. Just say what things a women better at and avoid saying what men are better at.

  10. Re:Impacted Negatively but Not "Destroyed" on Slashdot Asks: Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. You can send an SMS to the burger lady when it's your turn to order. Why all the unnecessary talk?

  11. Re:There's your problem! on Being Outside Could Become Deadly In South Asia, Says Study (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I can bet I saw "/sarc" after your second sentence. There must be.

  12. Re: Dear Leader Putin Does What He Likes on Russia Bans VPNs To Stop Users From Looking at Censored Sites (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    And how do you know that? Are you a Russian? Just wondering.

  13. Re:Should consumers install more than one antiviru on Ask Slashdot: Should Average Consumers Install More Than One Antivirus Program On Their System? · · Score: 1

    I always tell people who cannot think further than Windows to at least install VirtualBox and a virtual OS, be it Linux [that I wholeheartedly recommend] or Windows and browse the Internet from it. Then you don't need any AV even if you're not particularly computer literate.

  14. Re:Ads on the Internet != Other mediums on P&G Cuts More Than $100 Million In 'Largely Ineffective' Digital Ads (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    There are only two kinds of ads for me: the ones I don't want to see, and the ones I hate to see.

  15. So how do you make that 0.2 kid then? Grow only legs, or head?

  16. Re:Hold on a second! on New Diesel and Petrol Vehicles To Be Banned From 2040 In UK (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    So true, innit?! :)

  17. Re:Probably moot by that point... on New Diesel and Petrol Vehicles To Be Banned From 2040 In UK (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, EV charging stations are so easy to make. The infrastructure is already there. Oh wait... all you actually need is a socket.

  18. Re:Probably moot by that point... on New Diesel and Petrol Vehicles To Be Banned From 2040 In UK (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, battery technology is going to change for sure in the next couple of decades for something even better anyway.

  19. Re: A knife is dangerous.. on UK To Require Drone Registration And Safety Exams (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Pair guns with a badly constituted society and you get USA. Gun control is necessary, but the society should be more friendly towards poor people for it to work.

  20. What kind of understanding do you need to imprison a person who helps you with something? ;)

  21. 1st world problem. on Disastrous 'Pokemon Go' Event Leads To Mass Refunds (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh how horrible this must be for us "1st worlders". A Pokemon event got ruined by the ISP. What a disaster. /s In other more important news, there's far more important news to care about.

  22. Re:Good! on Microsoft Paint To Be Killed Off After 32 Years (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Indeed. I would prefer a barebones MS OS without any of their additional programs at all, too. It's easy to install your favourite bundle of programs afterwards. Like XNView, VLC, Foobar2000, Notepad++ etc. They're all much more usable programs than the MS ones anyway.

  23. Re:People do like it on The Oculus Rift Still Isn't Selling, In a Worrying Sign For VR (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    But the thing is they don't get to wear it for more than 10 minutes or so. Try playing a normal game for hours [8+] with this thing on.

  24. All this very heated discussion... on Seattle City Council Unanimously Approves Income Tax For the Rich (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    All this very heated discussion because guys who make over $250K will have to pay 2.25% to the city charities? You Americans never stop to amaze me with your sick-minded attitude towards helping people.

  25. Re:Probably not on Russians Now Need a Passport To Watch Pornhub (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, using Pornhub is a really good way to avoid all these problems with unwanted kids and STDs. Isn't it? It is also a good way to give men who can't, for some reason, be in a stable relationship, have an outlet, so they don't get tempted to harass women and god forbid - rape them. IMHO
