  1. UX on Ask Slashdot: Should You Invest In Documentation, Or UX? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No one reads documentation.

  2. Well enough. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Online Job Applications So Badly Designed? · · Score: 1

    They're like that because they work "well enough".

  3. Re:surpising on Amazon's Ambitious Bets Pile Up, and Its Losses Swell · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They've been doing this for close to 20 years, you think that would be plenty of time to actually make money.

  4. Re:Wow on GM Names and Fires Engineers Involved In Faulty Ignition Switch · · Score: 1, Informative

    Sarbanes-Oxley dude.

  5. Re:Never used this keystroke on Goodbye, Ctrl-S · · Score: 1

    ALT-F S for me.

  6. Save your breath. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Tell a Compelling Story About IT Infrastructure? · · Score: 1

    It's highly unlikely they will care, but try to make it fun and use lots of specific numbers, management types like that.

  7. False equivalence. on GM Names Names, Suspends Two Engineers Over Ignition-Switch Safety · · Score: 1

    A mail outage isn't the same as a fatal design flaw.

  8. An appeal to emotion? on The $100,000 Device That Could Have Solved Missing Plane Mystery · · Score: 1

    An appeal to emotion? On my slashdot?

  9. Implying. on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Trust Bitcoin? · · Score: 0

    This implies and presupposes it was to be trusted to begin with. A wild west currency with no accountability. This is a logical outcome.

  10. Re:Colo? on Ask Slashdot: Simple Backups To a Neighbor? · · Score: 1

    This might be a problem in search of a solution. Even throwing a drive in a fireproof box/safe.

  11. Colo? on Ask Slashdot: Simple Backups To a Neighbor? · · Score: 1

    A colocation center? Do the initial backup locally then use something to replicate changes in the future?

  12. Re:Look past the article's version of the cast ... on New York Subpoenaed AirBnb For All NYC User Data · · Score: 1

    If they're cranking a profit and not reporting it, it's almost certainly an IRS and state tax thing right?

  13. I thought the point was pretty clear. on Bennett Haselton's Response To That "Don't Talk to Cops" Video · · Score: 1

    Don't talk to the police if you believe yourself to be the target of an investigation because it is your right and you're a rank amateur in the law, police and DA's are not. If it progresses past a certain point of trying to get you to catch yourself in a lie, hire a lawyer/PD.

  14. Re:Maybe it is because, security has no ROI? on Former NSA Honcho Calls Corporate IT Security "Appalling" · · Score: 1

    Not for a user, for a company's confidential data.

  15. Re:Maybe it is because, security has no ROI? on Former NSA Honcho Calls Corporate IT Security "Appalling" · · Score: 1

    But there is unlimited risk involved.

  16. Re:The smartphone "inventor"? Umm, Palm? on How BlackBerry Blew It · · Score: 1

    YES I had a 600. 650, and 700 Loved them

  17. Re:Highly unusual? Hardly. on US Nuclear Commander Suspended Over Gambling · · Score: 1

    It's not that you can't do it, it's that you can't do it to a level that would allow anyone to have leverage over you.

  18. So they're hipsters? on Toronto Family Bans All Technology In Their Home Made After 1986 · · Score: 1

    So basically they're hipsters?

  19. Re:Treason.. or... on Yahoo CEO Says It Would Be Treason To Decline To Cooperate With the NSA · · Score: 1

    I feel like this is kind of misleading, I get the impression Ms. Meyer is matter of factly stating the opinions the courts have come to and the ways the laws currently exist, and not providing a personal opinion. /. isn't journalism, it's a blog, but misleading sensationalist titles are pretty good clickbait. Worked on me.

  20. Re:Congratulations on Sexist Presentations At Startup Competition Prompt TechCrunch Apology · · Score: 1

    My thoughts exactly.

  21. Polygraph not necessary. on Amazon Hiring More Than a 100 Who Can Get Top Secret Clearances · · Score: 1

    Top Secret clearances don't necessarily mean you'll have a polygraph test administered.

  22. Re:I don't know, has he? on With Microsoft Office on Android, Has Linus Torvalds Won? · · Score: 1

    So?

  23. Re:I don't know, has he? on With Microsoft Office on Android, Has Linus Torvalds Won? · · Score: 1

    Again, depends on the application. Fragmentation in the consumer space just confuses the consumer, what Microsoft and Apple do well, begrudgingly, which also has its cons, is present a uniform experience to the consumer.

  24. Re:I don't know, has he? on With Microsoft Office on Android, Has Linus Torvalds Won? · · Score: 2

    A front-end for "cloud" and web based hosted SAAS applications? I don't see it as a win for Linus/x, but a revenue stream for Microsoft.

  25. Re:I don't know, has he? on With Microsoft Office on Android, Has Linus Torvalds Won? · · Score: -1

    It's an operating system.
