  5. Re:It was likely on the table. on University of California Hires India-Based IT Outsourcer, Lays Off Tech Workers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You can trust HCL (which is actually located in Sunnyvale, not India) with that, because they have deep pockets to sue

    If they ever lose a major judgement we will find out that the US entity is a penniless shell and the money is all in India.

  6. It's wireless. Less space than Azure. Lame.

    That is not begging the question.

    This is the kind of thing that Comic Book Guy gets excited about - and nobody else cares.

    It's hot in the summer. Duh. The Big Climate scientists need their grant money. Obummer uses this false flag to put us under UN NWO. Shillary wants to take our guns and our cars.

    Feel free to add any memes I forgot.

    Great - now I have to worry about man-in-the-middle attacks in the bedroom too?

  14. Re:Classic Steve Jobs and the Nascent Web on The World's First Web Site Celebrates 25 Years Online (info.cern.ch) · · Score: 1

    In 1980 or so I was searching the chemical literature (paper) for help. One limitation was that editors would go through a paper and extract maybe 5-10 keywords that appeared on the title page. So you could scan those pages for relevant content completely miss facts that were buried in footnotes and experimental summaries. I used to bitch that we would work with our hands tied until every word was a keyword and they were searchable electronically. If I had a NeXt workstation then and Mosaic, I might have pointed that out to you.

  15. When it was like a small club on The World's First Web Site Celebrates 25 Years Online (info.cern.ch) · · Score: 1

    Remember when you would check every day to see what sites had come online the day before. And then check all five of them out?

    By the way, notice the quote: "Imagine if all newspapers became Internet service providers, now that would change the media landscape for sure," Daniels quipped.

    Today, I am obliged to send Comcast $150 bucks a month, but I am reluctant to send the local newspaper a few bucks a month for access. What if the local paper had the wisdom in 1990 to become an ISP and wire the city with their page as your home page? They would not be going extinct.

    Well, somebody should. The monkeys aren't doing a very good job.

    The monkeys were laid off years ago. The summaries are now written by rabid prairie dogs.

  19. I am sending my reporter Joe Olym to Brazil and he will be sending us photos. #OlymPics

  20. Not on my channel they aren't on A Medical Mystery of the Best Kind: Major Diseases Are In Decline (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Major diseases are down? Violent crimes are down? You'd never know this from the media I watch.

  21. Re:loyalty is a two-way street on Ask Slashdot: Is It Ever OK To Quit Without Giving Notice? · · Score: 1

    Idioms are not required to follow logic. "I could care less" means exactly the same as "I couldn't care less"

    Same as flammable and inflammable.

  22. The excitement of cable television on 74% of Netflix Subscribers Would Rather Cancel Their Subscription Than See Ads (allflicks.net) · · Score: 2

    Remember when they ran a cable into your house and there were not going to be any ads on the programs because you were already paying for the signal? Yeah, that happened.

  23. To quote Dan Aykroyd as Jimmy Carter: "We are screwed, blued, and tattooed."

  24. Worse than useless on Microsoft Is Buying LinkedIn For $26.2 Billion (microsoft.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    LinkedIn is a frigging joke. Maybe the intial idea was okay, but then they let any random idiot "endorse" you for skills. When I started seeing my connections endorsing me for skills they did not know I possessed I realized that I could no longer trust any endorsements for people I did not know.

    Now I just use LinkedIn to see what people look like, nothing else.

  25. What will really happen on Universal Basic Income Programs Arrive (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    I have been reading a lot of thoughtful posts about this issue, but I fear the reality is that it will turn out to be like our attempt to reform the mental health problem.

    Remember when we were going to eliminate the horrors of the mental health warehouses by shutting them down and opening up smaller, local homes for the mentally ill? We shut down the hospitals, then never opened the local homes. Those who needed help ended up on the streets with the homeless population.

    Now we propose to taper off our hodgepodge of social safety nets and eventually replace them with a basic universal income. What I forsee happening is the taper, as that is politically viable, but then they never get fully replaced with an equivalent cash income, as that is politically too easy to oppose.
