  1. Re:Who is stopping him? on 'Just Let Me Code!' · · Score: 1

    Duh, it's a Gruntmaster 6000.

  2. Re:Pft on The Daily Harassment of Women In the Game Industry · · Score: 1

    The "point" of this one (and I'm being magnanimous there) is the anecdotal, emotive propaganda of a professional victim. A prime candidate for being "derailed."

    Dear god, that was beautiful.

  4. Re:Misfeatures on Firefox 31 Released · · Score: 1

    From the release notes: "audio/video .ogg and .pdf files handled by Firefox *if no application specified*" (emphasis added).

    Does the bloat in the browser go away the moment I install Sumatra?

  5. Re:no thanks on Firefox 31 Released · · Score: 1

    I've been using it on windows since about 22 or 24 I think, and I didn't even know there WAS a Linux version of Palemoon! Thanks!

    I am an online advertising / tracking company. How do I stop Privacy Badger from blocking me? ...
    If copies of Privacy Badger have already blocked your domain, you can unblock yourself by promising to respect the Do Not Track header in a way that conforms with the user's privacy policy.

    Riiight, because the kind of scumbags who actively develop techniques to get around user preferences are the kind who would never "promise to behave this time, honest!".

    If the EFF is that naive, I don't have much faith that I can count on their tool.

  7. Re:I have a solution for the free apps. on Google To Stop Describing Games With In-App Purchases As 'Free' · · Score: 1

    I used several of those options: my local DNS periodically imports the MVPS list as a local blacklist, and adblockplus wasn't too bad. If it wasn't for many other issues I had that made KitKat a non-starter, I probably would have kept the Nexus instead of replacing my dead Evo 4G with a refurbished Evo 4G. :)

  8. Re:I have a solution for the free apps. on Google To Stop Describing Games With In-App Purchases As 'Free' · · Score: 1

    Google's onto that. It doesn't work in KitKat on the Nexus 5, for example.

  9. Re:I hope Noriega wins. on Manuel Noriega Sues Activision Over Call of Duty · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It would be amusing if the suit is thrown out under the Son of Sam law... (He wouldn't be a celebrity if not for his crimes).

    Damn right!

    Kill the lawyers, instead.

    Wow... reaching way back for the references now. Well done.

    I can think of only 1 movie that saves the Precision F-strike for the end of the movie (ST: Generations).

    As opposed to amazing incompetence of the "taggers" doing it now.

  14. Re: Any Memory?? what judge will go on just that? on Police Using Dogs To Sniff Out Computer Memory · · Score: 1

    I'm well aware of the moral of the story (I've been dating a historian for 12 years, and my awareness of it still impresses her).

    I didn't say anything about historical reality, I said that crediting "feminism" with the concept was nuts, and implied that just because something is in the OT doesn't make it good/right/accurate/worth a damn (and it sure as hell has fuckall to do with "historical reality").

    Wow, now you nutters are giving feminists credit for the "diddling kids is bad" belief system?

    Pretty sure we could find something in the OC to justify killing you with rocks, without much effort.

  17. Re:Long term jobs are rare and getting rarer. on Ask Slashdot: How Often Should You Change Jobs? · · Score: 2

    #2 is mostly but not entirely true. I've been at my current job for nearly 7 years now (and have no intention of leaving as long as the doors stay open) for just that reason: It's a very small software company, and the pay is below market (especially given the number of DevOps hats I wear), but it's more than enough to live on, and the bosses DO treat me with the same loyalty and respect I give them.

    Apparently, I work in Narnia.

    I am not normally a grammar Nazi, but when I am right ....

    This isn't one of those times. "My colleagues and me" is not the object of the clause, it's the subject (The colleagues and poster are the ones dealing with things, not the stupid criteria).

  22. Re:Non-compete agreements are BS. on Amazon Sues After Ex-Worker Takes Google Job · · Score: 1

    That's why the whole concept is bullshit. The reality is that there's a big difference between "confidential information" and "domain knowledge," no matter how many lawsuits the corporate scumholes buy to claim otherwise.

    And yet, people still trot out OpenPandora from time to time. I guess Improv forgot their deal with the devil, or something...

  24. Re:People assume they're watched. on Workplace Surveillance Becoming More Common · · Score: 2

    Nah, that's strictly PFY-level Bastardry. A BOFH would be running a lucrative side-business selling the Lusers "privacy dongles" -- USB Flash drives pre-loaded with remote-access malware (conviniently whitelisted) -- to protect them from such monitoring, for the low, fair price of $199.99
