  1. Re:evil? on Has Google Lost Its Mojo? · · Score: 1

    One of the "benefits" for working at google is they'll give you up to $5000 to adopt a kid.

    Clearly google is paving their own way to cheap underage chinese laborers in a few years.

    HP gave us $10,000.

  2. Re:Wait a minute on Has Google Lost Its Mojo? · · Score: 1

    I thought kids had stronger immune systems. This allows them to fight off things their bodies haven't encountered yet.

    Get chicken pox as an adult and you're in serious trouble.
    As a kids disease, its just a week off of school.

  3. Re:Why Would You Expect Otherwise? on Terror Watchlist "Crippled By Technical Flaws" · · Score: 1

    Except for the kill switch, you are describing most private charter airlines.

  4. Re:Call the FBI? on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    Presumably he let the authorities in to fight the fire which occurred in his home.
    I'm also guessing that there is a rule or law about a structural safety inspection after a fire before occupants can be let back in.
    I would also guess that a fire inspector seeing 1500 vials, cans and jars of chemicals of unknown origin, composition and stability laying around may consider it unsafe, and in that case would wisely call in for assistance.

    But, that's just me.

  5. Re:Are you asking for a free internet solution...? on Navajo Nation Losing Internet Access · · Score: 1

    In fact I bet as a PR stunt Cisco would come out and profile the whole setup for them.

    I bet you Cisco couldn't give a rats ass about doing any PR stuff for this situation.

    What's the wager?

  6. If it was a cheating husband or criminal on GPS Tracking Device Beats Radar Gun in Court · · Score: 1

    If it was a cheating husband or criminal they would have been in court showing how inaccurate their GPS is.

  7. Re:My story... on What Happened To Palm? · · Score: 1

    "I ordered it overnight on Wednesday afternoon; they sat on the order until Friday"

    So what?
    You paid for overnight SHIPPING, not rush processing. They processed your order in 2 days, and shipped it overnight.

  8. Re:And this is interesting because? on First Ethernet Switch In Space · · Score: 1

    • Cooling: No 'natural' convection
    • G-Forces, Vibration

    Gee, all the same things that the equipment HP designed for the military in the 70's and 80's was required to have.
  9. Re:Few? on US Data Centers Wary of Sharing Energy Data With Feds · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course, over 100 could be exactly 423827 data centers, in which case 54 kind of sucks.

  10. Are you serious? on Changing a School's Tech Disposal Policy? · · Score: 1

    "but I know not how to change this, any suggestions, or does anyone know where Illinois dumps used tech?"

    What the fuck are students actually learning these days? Is it all just memorization followed by regurgitation at the end of the week?
    Isn't there any schooling on general "How to find shit out on my own" anymore?

  12. "Post-suicide" not "Suspicious death"? on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: 1

    Just from the submitters headline it seems he acknowledges that it was suicide.

    If it's possible it was a suspicious death/accident, then the Police should do an investigation for you.

  13. Re:How far exactly? on Soyuz Ballistic Re-entry 300 Miles Off Course · · Score: 4, Informative

    It says 420km, which gets rounded down to 400 in the headline paragraph.

    420km in miles is 260, which gets rounded up to 300 for the Slashdot article.

    Wine in Italy
    Beer in Germany

  16. Not Bricked on Apple Error Leaves iPhone Developers In the Lurch · · Score: 1

    If it was 'bricked' it would never be able to be a phone or an ipod again.

    Huge difference.

  18. Idiots on New Botnet Dwarfs Storm · · Score: 4, Funny

    ""We know the picture... ends in an .exe, which is not shown" to the user, Royal says."

    If it ends in .exe it isn't a picture, you shouldn't keep calling it one.
