    Penalizing people for deceptive business practices helps everyone, retard.
    Please, fucking kill yourself. Please.

  3. Re:How can there be? on No Such Thing As 'Unlimited' Data (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    These services are built around the idea of a normalized distribution of usage. If one user uses a million times the average of the rest of the users, then "unlimited" offers can't be economically sustained.

    How the fuck is Joe Shithead supposed to know this when all the marketing literature says "unlimited?" It never really was "unlimited" was it? So, it was a fucking lie.

    They are so efficient that they can move an entire warehouse and have ready to operate again during the weekend.

    Get it together, editors. How did you get this job?

    Your basis for this scenario is that YOU CHOSE to upload pictures of yourself in Mexico as a married man that show you KISSING AN UNDERAGE PROSTITUTE WITH TIES TO A MEXICAN GANG TO MOTHERFUCKING FACEBOOK. I'm pretty sure big data is the least of your worries.

    That's cute. We were both running through money at a wild rate. The USSR hit bottom first. We were getting there thanks to brilliant ideas like the Star Wars program.

    Get a fucking grip. No one cares about your shitty vacation photos.

  8. You Care About Privacy? on IBM's Watson Is Now Analyzing Your Vacation Photos · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You have already proven you don't give a shit about the privacy of these photos the second you uploaded them to social media where people can make instant copies and distribute freely till the end of time. Quit being so goddamned uptight about this. Your vacation photos or pictures of your child taking his first shit aren't that goddamned important.

    It's funny to see the rose-colored glasses for Reagan these past couple of years considering he tripled the national debt, sold arms to Iran and packed up the troops and left Beirut after ~250 Marines were slaughtered in the barracks bombing with no one held accountable and a whole host of other shit no one cares to remember.

  11. Re:Yet another company that does not need to exist on Groupon Is Closing Operations In 7 Countries, Laying Off 1,100 · · Score: 1

    Considering that Groupon is crumbling and the likelihood that GP's business is not laying off/scraping a similar portion of their company than I can safely say that GP is making sound choices and your assumptions about their attitude towards attracting coupon scroungers is off. Carry on.

  12. Re:How long will it take on Australian Police Get McLaren and Aston Martin Supercars · · Score: 1

    No, it's very on topic, ass master: "Australia's New South Wales police department has added a pair of new cars to their fleet that are going to be very hard to outrun" The summary is implying that they would be used or that they are getting these promotional fast cars because cops should be chasing down criminals at very high speeds.

    Only consumers create jobs. Welcome to economics. If someone isn't buying then it doesn't matter how many businesses you start or how well they are managed.

    I've seen the documentary and it was pretty awesome but as soon as each programmer gets the game to early alpha they have to start bringing in other people to finish the game up to get it ready for release.

  16. Hackers on In Praise of the Solo Programmer · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This book has some great stories of the days when solo programmers reigned: http://www.amazon.com/Hackers-... It still blows me away that some of my favorite games from Sierra, etc were designed and coded by one person (art and all) while today you can't make a video game without a team of hundreds.

    Good effort at injecting unrelated partisan blather into the comment section. Let it go; Obama is finishing out his 8 years and even if reptilian, Marxist overlords from Neptune financed his campaign it is over and done with.

    Treat your employees with respect. Pay them a respectable wage with benefits. Look out for them and they will look out for you and your business. If you are a faceless megalo-corp that just hires and fires peoplemeat all day then expect to have your store pillaged and burned.

  24. Re:And this is why federal government needs to shr on Capitalists Who Fear Change · · Score: 1

    I think you are on to something with all of these. For medicare, I don't think the problem is how much we spend but how much healthcare costs. Healthcare prices are actually set by a group of doctors called the Relative Value Update Committee (RVUC) that meets every 4 months. The meetings are in total secret and if you do get an invite to attend then you have to sign legal paperwork swearing you won't leak what you saw and heard. Here is one scam they run: the balloons used to do a sinus procedure cost $2600 each so the RVUC valued the cost of the materials for the procedure at NUMBER_OF_SINUES*2600 when only one balloon is typically used for all of the sinuses in a procedure. This is how these values get set and there appears to be ZERO oversight.

    Just name one. Name it and target it. You have to start somewhere. Nebulous comments about "shrinking government" without any kind of details is straight from the Fox News daily playbook.
