    I have used laptops considerably older than 2 years and they look OK to me.

  2. Re:So what? on Viruses the New Condiment · · Score: 1

    So every time I buy food I should have to test it to make sure someone didn't poison it with some new food "additive"?

  3. Re:Hey, if it's good for AV products... on Consumer Reports Creates Viruses to Test Software · · Score: 1

    And you decided this based on the one involving violence, but not the one involving sex? Priorities, people! :-)

    This is Slashdot.

  4. Re:Goes back further than 1990. Even 1980. on A Brief History of Videogame Legislation · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Before that it was D & D, pool, cards, bowling, etc.

  5. Re:That's great, Walmart... on The Tale of Wal-Mart, Jack, and Bully · · Score: 0

    I'm not a fan of disney. However, what you are propsoing is that before they are rated "The Little Mermaid's Undersea Adventure" should be treated exactly the same as "Grand Theft Auto: Anarchy in the UK". From a business perspective, if I'm Wal-Mart, I clearly know which one of these games is more likely to cause me PR problems.

  8. Re:Project Managers on The FBI Software Upgrade That Wasn't · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One company I worked for promoted the receptionist to be the project manager for my project (I was the lead developer - and no, they didn't promote me to dev lead from janitor.)

    The bad thing about this girl was that she didn't know shit about fuck. The only good thing was that she did realize how ignorant she was, so she didn't question anything I did - just tried to report it to her bosses. And she was good for fetching coffee and ordering stuff (and nice to look at).

    How is his being in somewhat close physican proximity pertinent? If he were 20 miles away or 50 or 150, would it make any difference?

    Also, ho does this screw him, anyway? Like you are going to take away his internet access so that you can go quickly vandalize his wikipedia page and he won't be able to do anything about it for a while?

    And if the people you are referring to (Tech students) take down the whole backbone for the internet in the southeast, wouldn't that screw themselves (being nerds after all), far more than than it would hurt Mr. Baker (who is, I'm guessing since he is the attorney general, an attorney)??

    It's a trial run - from tfa:


    Thanks for clearing that up. We all seriously thought that there might be only 500 children in Thailand. The GPP did not pretend to misunderstand this point purely for comic effect.

    Thank you Thurbert Baker for doing something that makes sense.
