  1. Re:Goes both ways on Inside Uber's Aggressive, Unrestrained Workplace Culture (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You did the same thing she did, and got an almost identical response. (Shitty HR! Who could have imagined!) She responded to that by eventually going public. You whined about it from passive-aggressive pseudonym on Slashdot.

  2. Re:There are already 7 Continents on New Zealand May Be the Tip of a Submerged Continent (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    Nah. Europe is more like a bunch of accreted terranes - stuff the Earth scraped off on the west side of Asia. Totally not a continent.

  3. What do you mean, ages? on Google Brain Creates Technology That Can Zoom In, Enhance Pixelated Images (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Movies won't be able to do this for two more years!

  4. He's missing the point. on Are Squirrels A Bigger Threat To Our Critical Infrastructure? (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Squirrels and birds are never going to scare the public to the point of feeling good about hundreds of billions in spending, or freely abandoning long-cherished rights.

  5. Re:Wow! Godwin'ed on the first post. on Donald Trump Is Sworn In As the 45th US President (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump already Godwin'ed himself for real days ago.

  6. $250 for the show.

    Then for an additional $60, you can buy the audio track.

  7. Re:Indiscriminate antibiotic use in farm animals.. on 'Superbug' Resistant To 26 Antibiotics Kills A Patient In Nevada (upi.com) · · Score: 1

    The type of farm you're describing barely exists anymore. Industrial farming is the rule now, and they do use antibiotics (and growth hormones, and everything) is vast quantities.

  8. Bandits give king free road conditions report. on Uber Gives Cities Free Travel-Time Data (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    They're still bandits.

    And the king should still hang them when he catches them.

  9. Re:Will lower their budget? Nope on What's Happening As The University of California Tries To Outsource IT Jobs To India (pressreader.com) · · Score: 1

    By which time the people who made the decision will have used it's short-term side effects as proof of their "skill", and moved on to higher-paying jobs. Patterns like this occur again and again and again across the US, because our culture and laws are broken. The warpage is so entrenched that it won't change until the whole thing collapses.

  10. I have the solution. on Ask Slashdot: What's The Most Useful 'Nerd Watch' Today? · · Score: 1

    A single application, and any IoT device will be permanently secured: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... I'd like my $25k now, thanks!

  11. Where's a telco when you need one? on The Farmer Who Built Her Own Broadband (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I mean, really, someone has to put a stop to this sort of thing, or next thing you know everyone will be doing it and then where will the monopolies and the billionaires be?

  12. Start outsourcing C-levels on Facing Layoff, An IT Employee Makes A Bold Counteroffer (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there are some very talented executives in India, Southeast Asia and elsewhere who could do great work for a tiny fraction of what current corporate executives make.

  13. This is just making our own Great Old Ones, and then enslaving ourselves too them. Fucking shoggoths all the way down.

  14. More banditry from Uber on Uber: We Don't Need a Permit For Self-Driving Cars (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I hear that vandalism and theft are "technically" legal in some jurisdictions, too, so I'm sure Uber won't mind if Californians, "borrow" Uber's care for, say, scrap metal.

  15. Re:Cue the hipocrisy... on NSA's Best Are 'Leaving In Big Numbers,' Insiders Say (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: 1

    The NSA appears to be incapable or unwilling to do anything to stop "Russian hackers" and has arguably helped them out by promoting a vulnerable and broken internet security culture.

  16. Let that be a lesson on Sysadmin Gets Two Years In Prison For Sabotaging ISP (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    for anyone in a similar position.

    Make sure you build in _delayed_ time bombs, and _wait_ a while before wrecking your former employer. And if they ever ask you to help, tell them to shove it.

  17. But why is it that the dog that belongs to your neighbors old buddy on the other side of town is always pissing on the hydrant in your yard? (Did I mention that you and your neighbor don't exactly get along?)

  18. It figures... on New Attack Can Seize Control of Drones · · Score: 2

    A story about a high tech way to take something away from its user, and only three paragraphs in, we're told how great it will be for law enforcement.

  19. I won't purchase a laptop without a pointing stick. Disabling the trackpad is one of the first things I do with a new laptop. My old Fujitsu didn't even *have* a touchpad, and I loved it.

    Touchpads are made by the devil to increase unhappiness in the world, and we should all avoid them.

  20. Re: What's a data cap? on Comcast Rolls Out Nationwide 1TB Data Cap (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    And when your use pushes your neighbors internet over the cap, Comcast will charge them more. Win-win.

  21. Re:Anti-Hillary is not Pro-Trump on Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey Is Secretly Funding Trump's Meme Machine (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    Whatever lets you sleep at night, I guess.

  22. What do you mean "foreign speakers"? Apple doesn't make its money in the US, according to Apple. Maybe the whole thing should have been Irish. Or Mandarin, but I really doubt Apple cares whether its slaves can understand the ritual or not.

  23. Re:they should be teching real skills not outsourc on University of California Hires India-Based IT Outsourcer, Lays Off Tech Workers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    And then bribing the government to give you some sort of competitive advantage, and raising the price more.

  24. My take? Thank you, Mozilla! on Mozilla Is Changing Its Look -- and Asking the Internet For Feedback (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Thank you for the challenge to IE you once provided, and thank you for making it very clear that I need not waste my time in the future seeing if you've moved Firefox back in a positive direction. You've made it crystal clear that you will not, and probably cannot.

  25. Yeah.. who trusts the FBI? on Want To Hunt Bank Robbers? There's an App For That, Says The FBI (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1
