  1. Re:blazing idiot on 'The End Of The Level Playing Field' (avc.com) · · Score: 1

    That describes Fred pretty accurately, yes. Always been an idiot, always will be. He hasn't got what it takes to learn.

  2. Of course not on Are Robots Coming To Take Investor Jobs on Wall Street? (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    As someone whose whole professional career was on Wall Street, you can't take jobs that never existed. There are no "investor jobs" on Wall Street. Investor is not a job.

  3. Pay him no mind on 'The End Of The Level Playing Field' (avc.com) · · Score: 1

    Fred is easily one of the stupidest people I've ever interacted with. You shouldn't waste your time reading anything he's got to say. Even a stopped clock is correct twice a day, doesn't mean you should spend 12 hours looking at it waiting for something correct to come from it.

  4. Re:Interesting side effect: No pardon for Hillary on President Obama Says He Can't Pardon Snowden (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm amazed you think there's a prosecution coming. Especially when you compare it to CEOs. Because you know, the jails are full of them. (not.)

    I'm not about to suggest she didn't do anything wrong, but the idea there's a prosecution coming is bizarre. If this was going to happen, we'd know about it, after all this effort there is very obviously no crime that's going to be prosecuted. It's not like a lot of people haven't been trying to make that happen for literally decades now. Give her some credit, she knows where the lines are and what can be gotten away with.

  5. Re:Interesting side effect: No pardon for Hillary on President Obama Says He Can't Pardon Snowden (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Pardon Hillary? For what? Starring in congressional feverish conspiracy theories? I'm confused. What actual crime has she actually committed that she's going to be prosecuted for?

  6. It's coming, soon on Slashdot Asks: Is Paperless Office a Dream? (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Paper costs businesses a lot of money and they can't wait to be rid of it. People always said you'd never get rid of paper checks. Do any of you get your checks back from the bank anymore? What's that? You don't know what a check is? Well, it's this piece of paper...

  7. Re:Whitelisting renders your computer useless... on Google Security Engineer Urges Hackers To Focus Less on Anti-Virus and Intrusion Products (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And it creates a security risk because it means you trust those apps no matter what they turn out to be doing.

  8. Did he make a remark encouraging whitelisting either? Whitelisting is a security don't do it.

  9. More dongles for you on Apple Releases $300 Book Containing 450 Photos of Apple Products (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The existence of this $300 book pretty much sums up everything that's wrong with Apple and its priorities.

  10. Carmen Ortiz on 'Anonymous' Hacker Indicted As His Hunger Strike Continues (newsweek.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I was highly skeptical of the whole thing until I read the words "Carmen Ortiz". Now I am forced to look at this knowing a corrupt, unrepentant career criminal (Ortiz) is involved.

  11. Re:Another card added to the rent-control house. on Governor Cuomo Bans Airbnb From Listing Short-Term Rentals In New York (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    Your understanding of rent controls in NYC doesn't have much to do with reality. Few laugh as hard and as long as a rent-regulated landlord in NYC depositing rent checks at the bank. Guaranteed annual increases, tax breaks.... why do you think in a city controlled by landlords they've never made an effort to get rid of it?

  12. Re:Freedom Not Allowed ! on Governor Cuomo Bans Airbnb From Listing Short-Term Rentals In New York (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep. Come take a look around in NYC. Nobody's doing business. Nobody.

  13. If by the hotel industry they mean popular demand on Governor Cuomo Bans Airbnb From Listing Short-Term Rentals In New York (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    Then yes.

  14. Re:Comcast? on AT&T Considers Buying Time Warner (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Which is why virtually all of these articles (including this one) are incorrect about what's even available to be sold. Nobody knows what they're talking about. The original article even featured a photo of TWC.

  15. Thiel didn't just turn bad now on Mark Zuckerberg Defends Peter Thiel's Trump Ties In Internal Memo (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    More to the point, Thiel didn't just turn into a bad man this year. He's been a piece of crap a long time now. At what point are they finally willing to cut ties with someone? Does he have to be caught in bed with a dead boy first? (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Edwards)

  16. The Gartner audience, by definition, swallows anything.

  17. I find when I stop supporting artists who support things I find objectionable, that while they surely don't miss me, the feeling is mutual. I would definitely stop eating at restaurants that were supporting Trump. It tells me a lot about them and their judgment and how likely I am to either be cheated or food-poisoned.

  18. OK, no more Dilbert. Scott Adams is an idiot.

  19. Re:Given the history of godaddy... on GoDaddy Proposes New DNS Configuration Standard (programmableweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Given the history of Godaddy, whatever they think is a good idea surely is not. They have a severe competency deficit over there.

  20. Re:4th Amendment? on Oklahoma State Troopers Use New Device To Seize Bank Accounts During Traffic Stops (news9.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know, right? It's absolutely ridiculous, but that's the "innovation" that somehow makes it work.

  21. Re:4th Amendment? on Oklahoma State Troopers Use New Device To Seize Bank Accounts During Traffic Stops (news9.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The neat trick they use to pull this off is they're not charging -you-, a constitutionally protected person with a crime.

    They're charging your property with a crime. Your property has no constitutional rights.

  22. Article says pre-paid cards. Says nothing at all about bank accounts. Which would be a whole new level of thing.

  23. Haven't had Firefox crash in years. Over 500 tabs open, dozens of extensions. Whatever your problem is, it's not Firefox. If you think Firefox is bloated you're not paying attention to your Chrome.

  24. Re:Why don't web server scripts require exec bit? on WordPress Sites Under Attack From New Zero-Day In WP Mobile Detector Plugin (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Erm.... yes!

    They inject code right into the script that already has the execute bit set. It's not uncommon, I've seen it myself.

    This doesn't help anything because the script they inject the code into already has the execute bit set.
