    Being female do you really expect anyone to take you seriously?

  3. Bullshit! on Protecting a Laptop From Sophisticated Attacks · · Score: 0

    An attacker could cool the RAM, remove it from
    the running machine, place it in a second machine
    and boot from that instead.

    This is the biggest bunch of bullshit I've ever read. This guy needs slapped.

    nothing wrong or hypocritical about playing
    by the rules as they exist, while

    From the fourth book of Acts

    The Believers Share Their Possessions

      32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.
      36 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.

    I think Jesus and his posse were Socialists

    I wanted to add fines mean nothing to companies. Here in coal county it is cheaper to dump the slurry into streams and rivers then pay the fines than it is to clean the shit up properly.

  17. jail on FCC Plans To Stop Cell Phone Bill Mystery Fees · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The fines will mean nothing if the carriers make more money than what the fines cost. They need to put some people in jail and this shit would stop.

  18. Re:Original Poster's sales team sucks bigtime. on Ask Slashdot: Compensating Technical People For Contributing to Sales? · · Score: 1

    Where I work the boss hired his best friend who knows nothing about IT to do sales and had a meeting with us to tell us their would be no need to complain about his buddy because he would not be held accountable. The guy has been there 2 years, still has no desire to learn about the businees and knows he will not be held accountable. Add to that the female service mgr/secretary has started living with one of the techs. And add to that we have an unwritten rule to over charge our customers by padding hours Please God help me find another job
