    Thank you for your sig link. As far as I'm concerned, Touch-screen interface is one step below tiny keypads you have to type with your fingers. Aka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ewS9dsCEn0

    Nice story, Bro. Unfortunately, it's the other way around. Look at circumcision. Men are here only to be used as sec objects by the women and sent to die in their petty, bitch wars. Real men understand that it's not about subjugating woman; it's about escaping her tyrannical hegemony of bad ideas. Religion? All just solipsistic feminine thinking. Patriotism? Doubly so. Cast off your illusions, mate!

    As Burroughs put it: Any soul is worth saving, at least to a priest, but not every soul is worth buying.

    First thought is put half of them in your own car. Then put the other half in the truck and abandon it in the fire's path. Then eBay.

    www.coinflation.com is empirical evidence of a minute doubling bug in the architecture of american finance. Many people ( http://realcent.forumco.com/ ) simply mine the coin market instead of mining for bit coins.

  16. Re:Fist post! on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    First first post on Slashdot is definitely a working-from-home type of achievement. I suggest you spend your first month or two trying to get a first post on a Slashdot story, logged in, with a rational comment.

  17. Re:Or drop the cheques all together. on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    Disagree because I am in Canada and work for employers in the USA and Romania. Cheques in US funds are mailed direct from either a corporate accounts receivable department or my escrow broker. They arrive directly at my credit union, where the nice girl behind the counter deposits them and clears them upon arrival, placing the funds in a US dollar denominated electronic account connected to the rest of my accounts via web interface. I pay no fees at all for this or the connected checking and savings accounts as long as I maintain a $1000 balance, which is easy to do with up to five cheques arriving daily. Wire transfers are costly (in Canada, anyway) and there was that whole dick move thing where the trade federation deleted the codes for the Iranian banks from the system.

  18. Or drop the phone all together. on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Tips For Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    Seriously. The phone is dead technology. I've been freelancing from home for 3 years, making good money, and have not had to deal with a single telephone call in the entire time. I was hired by email, and that's how I submit my deliverables. Get paid with a cheque in the mail. Phones are for chumps.

    Never forget to include "Honk if you're Horny!" signs for any freeway protest.

  24. Hmm... on Journalist Gets Blasted By the Pentagon's Pain Ray — Twice · · Score: 2

    Given the weird operational profile, I can see this being used for psy-op. Flashing people with pain from afar, seemingly for no reason. Is that too MK-ULTRA to think about?
