  1. Re:Easy Work-Around on Governor Cuomo Bans Airbnb From Listing Short-Term Rentals In New York (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    You walk out of a store with something you didn't pay for once. You do it ten times a day.

    Are they the same thing? More to the point, do you think the police, store owners and courts will regard them as the same thing?

  2. Turtles all the way down on Mirai and Bashlight Join Forces Against DNS Provider Dyn (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Is your job to invent phony job postings?

  3. Bollocks on Russians Seek Answers To Central Moscow GPS Anomaly (yahoo.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    it seems like a reasonable countermeasure to potential terrorist threats.

    In conjunction with the fact that it isn't marked on any paper maps and is completely invisible, you mean?

  4. Re:Resonating with Americans on AI Platform Assesses Trump's and Clinton's Emotional Intelligence (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    There's change, and there's change for the better.

    See also: systemd, Windows 8.

  5. Room 12A, just along the corridor. on AI Platform Assesses Trump's and Clinton's Emotional Intelligence (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    A debate is not just a popularity contest, it's supposed to be a presentation of ideas with justifications and counter arguments.

    No it isn't.

  6. Oh well that's completely different. No way would anyone notice that something hadn't moved for a while and steal it if it was near an airport.

  7. I don't see why landmines would be illegal. If you don't want to get your leg blown off, don't walk on other people's lawns!

  8. Re:They couldn't ever succeed. on Steve Ballmer Says Microsoft Tried To Buy Facebook For $24 Billion (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    That's a shame.

  9. At a pinch I guess so. You'd have enough time on your hands to do without a cleaner and if you were well organised you could cook your own meals rather than eating out or getting takeaways.

    Assuming you gave up work, of course.

  10. They're not as slutty as tumbleweed. That lascivious way it rolls across the screen ... schwing!

  11. AFAIK, $1M in workstations is still sitting in a warehouse in China.

    Really? Maybe the boxes (as in the cardboard ones, not boxen) are.

  12. Don't confuse intelligence with monkey learning on Macs End Up Costing 3 Times Less Than Windows PCs Because of Fewer Tech Support Expense, Says IBM's IT Guy (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    I was on a project where I was one of the highest paid non-managers and I had to get a secretary to show me how to use windows.

    I was hired for my mainframe expertise. I'd only used dumb terminals for five years, and before that in college I'd mainly used Domestos & Hackypucks.

  13. Macs generally require less user intervention to run

    What's that got to do with anything? According to TFS, it's "Because of Fewer Tech Support Expense".

    Now whether that putrid blister on Shakespeare's tongue is due to mansishDavidmashesHD or IBM is, sadly, too close to call.

  14. Ever know someone who walks into the bar and tells you a story along the lines of "... and she comes home from work early and I'm in the sack with her sister - and now she wants a divorce!" in the expectation of sympathy and all he gets is crickets chirping?

  15. Nobody's made a comment about doing the needful yet? This place is going down one jolly old hill, dear chaps.

  16. Can they run a simulation to see how many a-with-a-hat(TM)s slashdot stories will have if they sack all the editors?

  17. Fair point on Mark Zuckerberg Defends Peter Thiel's Trump Ties In Internal Memo (theverge.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    There are many reasons a person might support Trump that do not involve racism, sexism, xenophobia, or accepting sexual assault.

    Fair point. There's total and utter stupidity too.

  18. This isn't courage. It's HEROISM!

    Or is it Sparta? I'm fucked if I know.

  19. Yeah. I could totally see the European Space Agency doing that.

  20. I don't know whether this is about the new one or the old one. Given the intelligence of the editturds it's a 50-50 call.

    I suppose I could read the article, but some traditions are worth respecting.

  21. If things go wrong humans will most likely go splat before the have had time to read the error message on the control computers display.

    That's because it'll be in medium light grey text on a light medium grey background.

  22. Re:Wireless Headphones vs CC smh on Microsoft Claims Its Speech Transcription AI is Now Better Than Human Professionals (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    No good when you live with a nutter who thinks they cause cancer.

  23. Business is not politics. There's little reason why (once you've got over the low bar of being able to put your shoes on) being good at one should make you good at the other.

    War isn't politics either. Arthur Wellesley - brilliant general, repressive asshole prime minister. Grant - OK general, a tad genocidal with the Indians.

    the Greeks spend more hours at work per year than the European average.

    FTFY.

    The problem is that half of the time they're smoking or gossiping. Absolute shower, the lot of 'em.
