    Seriously, if folks would just not post any sort of comment when this douche posts his blogs, they would axe him.

  8. Re:The more things change the more the stay the sa on Why the Trolls Will Always Win · · Score: 1

    Then I'd hardly call it a win at all.

    To the winners go the spoils.

    That's how you evaluate who the winner is. As it looks so far, systemd is winning the day by taking over many linux distros, Dice is still driving content here, and they just love posts by Bennet and will take as many as he can provide.

    Given that, who do you think is winning?

  10. Re:The more things change the more the stay the sa on Why the Trolls Will Always Win · · Score: 1

    In any unmoderated discussion the loudest and most insistent voices win.

    If this were true, systemd would be gone, dice wouldn't own slashdot, and they'd stop accepting submissions from Bennett Haselton.

  11. SystemD Support? on Chimpanzee "Personhood" Is Back In Court · · Score: 1

    If the chimps are given personhood, will they back the systemd movement? I'd hate to see a chimp war started over whether systemd is good or evil...

  12. Useful answers to this should take into account the problem with the question of "How long is a piece of string?" Give some context about how much you pay, and how much you use -- and how much that would change if the price were different.

    WTF? Are we all children now? Would you like to tell us how we should answer in other posts now, Timothy? If the OP couldn't form his question to include what details he was actually looking for, you should have either accepted his post as-is or rejected it. Your clarification is, IMHO, insulting.

  13. Re:Don't wait on the wiping... on Will Windows 10 Finally Address OS Decay? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I think you might have missed the sarcasm that I was aiming for...

    But I will add that I no longer build my own PCs. Not because I can't, but mostly because I had a hard time settling for the low-end, cheap parts (if I'm going to build a rig, it's going to be the hottest rig around, at least for the next week or so). Buying OTS ended up saving me a lot of time and money. I usually go w/ HP's, bump up the memory and otherwise go w/ the system as-is. They may pick up cheaper parts, but for the most part I've had nothing but success getting linux running on them.

  14. Re:They are wrong... on Ask Slashdot: Swift Or Objective-C As New iOS Developer's 1st Language? · · Score: 1

    Yep, just like programming Windows in C is so very similar to programming windows in C++, PowerBuilder, Java, Assembly, ... (it's just different languages, but it is on the same platform).

  15. Don't wait on the wiping... on Will Windows 10 Finally Address OS Decay? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I get my new PCs, the first thing I do is wipe them clean and reinstall windows.

    I'm just careful when I grab the disk labeled "Ubuntu" because I know that version of windows doesn't come with all of the problems the OP identified.

    Here's why you shouldn't learn Obj-C first:

    While you're busy learning obj-C, the rest of the ios developers will be learning Swift. In 5 years, by the time Apple has retired Obj-C, you'll be left with another out of date skillset. In 5 years companies will be looking for Swift developers, and you won't be ready, and you will once again find yourself behind everyone else.

    Heck, maybe that's why these fools are telling you to learn Obj-C; they're looking to reduce competition on the Swift jobs that they're already working towards.

    Instead, like I said, don't listen to these folks that don't know what they're talking about. You want to position yourself ahead of the curve, mastering Swift now while they're falling behind the 8 ball with their old obj-C skills. By the time you feel comfortable with Swift, you will be well ahead of the curve and companies will be wanting you on their team, not these obj-C folks.

  17. They are wrong... on Ask Slashdot: Swift Or Objective-C As New iOS Developer's 1st Language? · · Score: 2

    Don't listen to these ass clowns saying "Go with Obj-C". If they had any clue they would know that introducing Swift was the first step towards obsoleting Obj-C.

    Assuming you're not learning this language to obsolete yourself, then you definitely want to stick with Swift.

  18. Actually... on Service Promises To Leak Your Documents If the Government Murders You · · Score: 1

    This is a new government program. They do want to kill you, but they really want to know what you have first, just in case it is really damaging. By giving them your stuff, they can make an informed decision whether to murder you right away or possibly (although not likely) hold off for awhile.

    We need janitors, security guards, cafeteria workers, secretaries, mail room personnel, typists, clerks, ... The critical thinking that the LA degrees bring ensures they understand that they need their jobs to pay off their student loans, so they're really more like indentured servants than employees.

  21. Re:In defense of Patent Trolls on Intellectual Ventures Sheds At Least Part of Its "Patent Troll" Reputation · · Score: 0

    bullshit.

    You, the inventor, sell your soul for 17k. IV doesn't turn your idea into a product. Instead they look at what other smart guys and deep pocket companies are creating, claim a murkey relation to the patent they purchased but did nothing about, then try to sue them for millions - some will fight, some will settle, some will lose, but in the end IV makes well more than 17k w/o doing a thing.

    Before you go defending IV or any other patent troll, do the following calculation - Divide the number of lawsuits by the number of real products for sale. Any result greater than 1 does not deserve your defense, and the result you get for IV is totally indefensible.

    manages the relationships between the company and external vendors (benefits such as health, dental, vision, 401k, they all have different sources and require their own upkeep), is the proxy between the employee and those vendors, oversees the process of hiring and firing (to ensure no laws or rights are violated), etc.

    It's all management stuff, but when an exec says "Hey, we're using ziprecruiter because I played golf with a guy that just loved It", she's stuck with it until she can demonstrate that it is not all that it's cracked up to be.
