  1. Re:Sure, to lower paying jobs on The Luddites Are Almost Always Wrong: Why Tech Doesn't Kill Jobs · · Score: 1

    Um, the reason they pay "more" for telemarketing is because the job is unethical. It's higher risk. If you want a safe, ethical job, well there's plenty of competition for those so they don't have to pay as much. You're basically selling your soul for a little more money.

    So don't tell us about how they couldn't be employed elsewhere because they can, if they're willing to take an ethical job.

  2. Re:Designer Prescott Harvey... on An Animated, Open Letter To J.J. Abrams About Star Wars · · Score: 1

    If you think nostalgia is the only positive aspect of the original trilogy compared to the prequels, then you haven't RTFA, nor have you actually watched the 6 movies.

  3. Re:the difference on Popular Science Is Getting Rid of Comments · · Score: 1

    The next thing you could do is re-take first grade where they taught you how to end a sentence using a period.

  4. Re:I do not understand why this is a story on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I can see your initials are LK just by reading the username which is at the top of your post. In fact, EVERY post has the writer's username at the top of it. So why then, unlike everyone else in this forum, do you copy those initials into the body of your post? Are you some kind of narcissist that can't wake up to the fact that no one else on this forum puts sigs in the body of their post? Especially not something as fucking lame as a copy of your own username which we already know?

    LK

  5. Re:And another thing on DMVs Across the Country Learning Textspeak · · Score: 1

    So ham radio handles start with KA? I wondered why I was seeing several different plates in the area that started with that combo, like KA3something.

  6. PA plate on DMVs Across the Country Learning Textspeak · · Score: 1

    Someone's plate in PA has the summary's example verbatim. Or maybe had, since it's been 4 years since I saw it.

  7. Re:Winnings taxable? on Massachusetts Lottery Broken · · Score: 1

    Three days? Plus how many additional dreadfully boring days to go through all the tickets you bought to see which ones are winners?

  8. Re:Unlikely on James Murdoch's Defense Crumbles · · Score: 1

    The reason is apparent in between your own lines - people will read patterns into it more than what is actually there, and make assumptions without any additional evidence.

  9. Re:Offensive? on Ars Technica Review Slams Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    What's funny is the second paragraph of the review, which you could not be bothered to read, is devoted to describing you personally.

  10. Re:camera con? on Speed Tickets Challenged Based On Timestamped Photos · · Score: 1

    How are they going to stop t-bones? People who t-bone are running through the middle of a light cycle because they were distracted, or drunk, or just plain didn't see the light -- camera is not going to have any affect in those t-bone situations whatsoever.

  11. Re:It's not just the fact that smart phones did it on Cisco Ditches Flip and $590 Million · · Score: 1

    So what do you pay for this convenience, like $1000 a year? No thanks.

  12. Re:Consider the Source on Steve Jobs Health Worries Escalate · · Score: 1

    Does the article writer have more info than you do looking at the rear end of some old guy? Bet not.

    Therefore that's not Steve Jobs in the pictures.

  13. Re:Can't believe they released this shit on Microsoft Looking Into Windows Phone 7's 'Excessive' Data Use · · Score: 1

    Then why doesn't the OS tell users what apps are sending what data, and how much? Keeping users in the dark is not an acceptable way to manage resources that cost money.

  14. Re:How indispensable is that person? on When Smart People Make Bad Employees · · Score: 1

    You have poor written English, a bad attitude, and you completely misread the summary by mentally substituting the word "are" for the word "can" that was actually written. Nice job, retard.

  15. Re:Please note: on Spamhaus Under DDoS Over Wikileaks.info · · Score: 1

    "It seems to me" that you're another stupid conspiracy theorist whose train of thought is not grounded in reality.

  16. Re:Super on Rear-View Cameras On Cars Could Become Mandatory In the US · · Score: 1

    High-mounted center brake lights can be seen through the window of the car in front of you, so you can be alerted to braking TWO cars ahead instead of just one -- potentially giving you more reaction time.

    Unfortunately the trend to SUVs, with blackened rear windows, kind of kills the effectiveness of it half the time.

  17. Re:Canadian Companies on US Court Disconnects Canadian Domain Name Scammers · · Score: 1

    Although the article implies the scammers live in Toronto Canada, I have to wonder how many "Canadian" scammers like this are actually US residents borrowing a Canadian mailbox.

  18. Re:What's the problem, anyway? on Time for a Vista Do-Over? · · Score: 1

    And the OS shouldn't be requiring more hardware anyway, applications should be the determiner of that. We should be buying an OS to make the PC work instead of this crap of buying a PC to make the OS work.

    Thanks so much for that, but did you know your username is already included at the top of your post? Pretty much every other poster understands this, have a look around.

  20. Re:Alternate headline on Geek and Gadgets Set Cross-US Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Driving isn't a game. Driving is using a public utility - roads - to get from point A to point B.

    Many citizens think that way. But if everyone did, there would be no sporty vehicles on the road, just white pickups and gray Corollas and 18-wheel haulers, and perhaps everyone would drive under the speed limit for safety as they trudged to and from their predetermined destinations. And if everyone liked driving for fun, the roads would become too crowded and more dangerous.

    I take the risks into account and I'm willing to share the road, too bad about the folks who aren't.

    Most people realize their Slashdot username is already included at the start of each of their posts.

  22. Re:Limited options on Where to Go After a Lifetime in IT? · · Score: 1

    You didn't take inflation into account. $2000, in 1957, at the age of 20? That's more than the price of a new car.

  25. Scam? on U.S. Military Developing Ultrasonic Tourniquet · · Score: 1

    So not only do ultrasonic waves clean your teeth and break down fat cells, they can also effect localized internal blood clotting. Wow, is there anything ultrasonics can't do?

    No, this sounds like bullshit pseudoscience to me, in the same vein as ions, magnets, and energy auras.
