  1. Re:Nah it'll just be outsourced on Gen Y Tech Savvy, But Not Interested in a Career · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Corporations are to be blamed. "Flexible schedule and healthy work/life balance" is something all companies should be able to provide. This is something so trivial there is no excuse. What benefit is 9 to 5?? None whatso ever. I should be able to come in at 4 pm in hte afternoon unquestioned. OTOH how the bloodyass does the management execs justify deserving 10x the salary of the normal employee.

  2. Re:Aggressive tactics on TV Links Raided, Operator Arrested · · Score: 1

    Corporate elite is only dominating the world where there are plenty of lawyers and politicians protecting them. Which probably puts UK and US on top of the list.

  3. Re:I save in ODF on Do OpenOffice Users Save In Microsoft Format? · · Score: 1

    I don't know which company you are targeting with your comment. But M$ isn't the only one with a format that requires money to edit. Last I checked adobe pdf professional was a pricey item in store.

  4. Re:When Big Brother is your neighbor on How to Dodge the Chinese Internet Censor · · Score: 1

    Can you expand on what you mean by real Proletarian revolution? As if the first one wasn't real.

  5. Re:pot.kettle.black on Yahoo! Accused of Lying to Congress about Chinese Journalist · · Score: 1

    While the above is marked Funny, this isn't far fetched. China is our cheap (almost free) labor arms. As much as I hate to admit. US should go to hell to keep the communists happy. God forbid if we had to pay $7 US an hour per person for labor, everything around us will be unaffordable instantly.

  6. Re:Your payperz, plezz on Airlines Have to Ask Permission to Fly 72 Hours Early · · Score: 1

    What is worse is that US is many times smarter than Russia and Nazi G. So I expect security to tighten and eventually leapfrog the worse of those communist states in a different manner. People will just fall for it. You'll have no choice. Auto retina scans, brain chips that hook you into GPS and more. Maybe 50+ years from now.

  7. Re:You know what that means, folks... on Hard Drive Imports to be Banned? · · Score: 1

    Conspiracy anyone?

  8. Re:Let me be the first to say... on Electronic Arts Purchases BioWare, Pandemic · · Score: 1

    EA plan to release a Neverwinter Nights sequel with ASCII graphics. How about Mercenaries: Destruction of Video Game industry. Can't wait. This is all a shame. I'll never play either one of those again.

  9. Re:life time? on Alienware Puts 64GB Solid-State Drives In Desktops · · Score: 1

    That notion of not ever having to deal with a faulty drive seems way too good to turn down.

  10. Re:Running Out on Has Wikipedia Peaked? · · Score: 1

    This is true. It is simple to add an article and two lines. It takes a real team to finalize to FA or even GA. There are alot of great articles but many are merely B status. I think the "non-English-speaking regions" need alot more expertise.

  11. Re:Cmdr. Sisko wants to know -- on Fairly Realistic Flying Car Offered for 2009 Delivery · · Score: 1

    I firmly believe flying car is the future. But it won't start here in the US. Our lawyers, politics, CEOs and corporate system makes it hell of an impossible task to push anything into the market. Our society has long gotten rid of innovate-and-push. It's innovate-market-profit-newversion.

    Just look at VHS tapes, we were on this while the rest of the world was on laserdisc. By the time we got DVD, the tycoon$ are saying lets make more money and sell them more HD-DVD/blueray/more of the same.

  12. Re:Slashdotted... on Seagate Releases Hybrid Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    LOL

  13. Re:How much? on ASUS Motherboard Ships With Embedded Linux · · Score: 1

    Well said. With the exception of graphics card, everything is pretty static.

  14. Re:Proof! on Scientists Deliver 'God' Via A Helmet · · Score: 1

    The sole existence of both scientists and religious fanatics is to spent their time telling you the other one is the devil.

  15. Re:I know... on Official - Bungie Departing Microsoft · · Score: 1

    PS3 is desperate for more quality games. Usually I would oppose a franchised title jumping boat, its as strange as Mario supporting xbox. But in this case, its better for bungie.

  16. Re:Amusing: The shell game on Retailers Fighting To No Longer Store Credit Data · · Score: 1

    Even the definition of "secure" is always up for questioning. Who is to say it is secure?

  17. Re:The usual story on China Now Blocking RSS Feeds · · Score: 1

    In other news American company build large wireless network that stretch to Beijing. Communists try blocking air signals with toxic smoke.... oh wait....

  18. Re:For teaching science? on Science In Islamic Countries · · Score: 1

    No reason to avoid abortion clinic bombings. Especially since the shortest page on wikipedia is Christian terrorism. We have enough bias-ism already. Let it out. Lets here both sides. (No, I am not a muslim)

  19. Re:More right wing Ostriching on Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students? · · Score: 1

    You are researching too hard for a reason to explain why India and China students go to grad schools. How about our society haven't entirely given them the benefit of the doubt. And they need More education to get the same pay as the normal American.

    I am not much for an school/university supporter as I see them as a cash vaccuum. But at least they take the curriculum seriously. Unlike most people here that takes it for granted.

  20. Re:99.9% on Internet Uses 9.4% of Electricity In the US · · Score: 1

    Both reduces birth rates. But one increases the use of tissue paper at the expense of the forests.

  21. Re:What about the SR-52 on The Handheld Calculator Turns 40 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think the museum is complete until they mention the TI-8X series. It dominated the school sectors and did fractions! And the fraction results didn't come out to decimals, which makes it museum-worthy.

  22. Re:I don't understand. on Google Testing "My World" Second Life Rival? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This whole post is opinionated. Is like saying:

    - People's lives suck so much, they wish they were fighting wars. Hence the millions playing CoD, battlefield, quake online.

    - People are so unathletic, they are playing sports games online.

  23. Re:This used to happen in the US on Chinese Worm Creator Gets High-Paying Job Offer In Prison · · Score: 1

    Isn't Shanghaidaily a communist propaganda source? People are biting the commi-bait bragging about how China is all caught up. How about them journalists in prison. No companies dare to hire them.

  24. Re:Apple has always been a sleazy company on Apple Platform Lock-Ins, A 3rd Party Dev's Opinion · · Score: 1

    3 anonymous cowards back to back to back proclaming mac-superiority, and that Apple isn't sleazy. That about sums it up.

  25. Re:An interesting experiment on Wikipedia 2.0, Now With Trust? · · Score: 1

    People who downplay wikipedia should try going a year without it. I hate people who say they can't trust it, when knowingly and clearly there is no better single source of information. Wikipedia has only been around for a few years. The editors haven't been given enough time to fully reach Good-Article potential on most subjects. Imagine 10 more years of refining. It can be a monster to reckon with.
