  1. Re:It has to get worse before it gets better on UK Developers Quit US App Store Over Patent Fears · · Score: 2

    How long before AT&T was broken up?
    How long after is it almost back together?
    Yeah, nothing changes in the United States of Corporate America

  2. Re:Turn off the fucking phone. on Police Increasingly Looking To Smartphones For Evidence · · Score: 1

    Yeah, most career criminals do this I believe. At least the smarter ones do.

  3. Re:SpaceX, Tesla on SpaceX Dragon As Mars Science Lander? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I knew that it was a proof-of-concept, however the report I had heard did not mention other cars being built and the report also gave the speculation.
    I am happy to hear it will continue.

    Fuck, dont be wrong on Slashdot, it means you are a troll!

  4. Re:SpaceX, Tesla on SpaceX Dragon As Mars Science Lander? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Tesla has decided to stop selling its Roadster, and many speculate it is the end of that company.

  6. Re:Tribalism on The Science Behind Fanboyism · · Score: 5, Funny

    I am the Exception that proves the rule. I am no follower
    I lead by picking the best tool for the job.
    Would a fanboi of the philips screwdriver use it instead of a flathead on a flathead screw?
    So why use Windows in a case where Linux is superior, and Windows where Linux is superior?
    Being a "fanboi" has its limitations, as fanaticism can lead to many bad things.
    Stop hampering your visions with your emotional love for an inanimate object. Use your brain son!

    Doritos... where they save money by cutting down on the flavor.

  8. Re:Not fear - disgust on Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children · · Score: 1

    We are voting with our wallets in our "free market". This is supposed to be how it works, yes?

  9. Re:So... on Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children · · Score: 1

    Much like the assault that started the Vietnam conflict?

  10. Interesting.... on Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Think of the children" actually gets people to listen.
    Not the groping, not the invasion of someone putting their hands on you (think about those that hate being touched, or fear of germs, etc), or 3d images of your body for all to see.
    Nope, its fear of pediophilia and children being touched.
    We have come far.

  11. Re:Reflexive /. Gates bashing in 3...2... on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    Was it wrong to use someones fame to bring light on issues of the world? HIV/AIDS, smallpox, polleo, hunger
    Or would it be better to suffer in silence feeling like no one cares, because they dont ask and you dont tell?
    The Spotlight is a harsh mistress, and to put ones self on the line for a cause they believe in is more gutsy than not.
    It is still up to the individual, and I respect either way. But the way you write it, you would think the world should keep its mouth shut.

    So then make it LinkedIn instead of Facebook.

  14. Re:Does not affect MY prices on Netflix Announces Streaming Only Plans and Higher Prices for DVDs · · Score: 1

    Meh, this looks more like a push to get people to select their online option over DVD option.
    Honestly, I can jam in more online viewing than DVDs 1 out only, in a week.
    Granted 99% of their online offering is crap, but I just watch good movies over again.

  15. Re:Summary? on Congress Voting To Repeal Incandescent Bulb Ban · · Score: 1

    how about more one line quips that do not add anything to the discussion except the illusion of your position that we know not how you got there?

  16. Re:440 more and counting on Few Contribute To Aussie Classification Review · · Score: 0

    This is pretty standard
    But as far as the summary is concerned, the comment down at the bottom tells me that a fear campaign has been launched that seems to think anyone that is against censoring the internet. Sure, child pornography is wrong, and gross, but seriously? Why dont you go after those downloading it like we do in the USA?
    It seems a heavy handed, open solution that can be easily abused is a worse solution than finding people who download it.
    But whatever, I live in the USA.

  17. Re:Poisoned? on Microsoft Yanks Security Site Poisoned With Porn · · Score: 3, Funny

    Depends on the porn. I dont really wanna see grandma in her panties. Do you?

    But what if you dont like the song on the radio, or the air is to hot/cold inside?

  19. Re:Worst Snowfall in 20 years on Snow Falls On the Most Arid Desert On Earth · · Score: -1

    Yeah, another "sensationalist" headline. WOO!
    Before you know it, news will be reporting... "People stopped by cops after shooting them"
    People were stopped by cops after being shot with speed radar...
    And so forth...

  20. Re:Not the first by 5 years on Spanish Surgeon Performs First Synthetic Organ Transplant · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that is what I was thinking. But it IS the first windpipe is it not?

    The biggest thing to note about growing these "artificial" parts is that if the organ being replaced has a complex vain system, you cannot grow or replace it.
    Hopefully this will be resolved in the future so we can live to 150.

  21. Re:Bout time on Defendant Says Righthaven Should Pay Legal Fees · · Score: 2

    In a perfect world this would work.
    but what if you are the person who was wronged and feels the only way to get justice is through a lawsuit. However, if you had to go up against a large corporation, would you really do it with this kind of stipulation hanging over you?

  22. Re:Why do we immediately assume GoDaddy will suck? on Ask Slashdot: Which Registrars Support DNSSEC? · · Score: 1

    I used them through work. Bought an SSL certificate back in the day (2007 I think), and called them up to verify a few things.
    Their people were bright, easy to work with, and answered all of my questions.
    Since then I have had no problems with them except for their busy website.

  23. Re:Why is some random guy's blog on Slashdot? on Calling BS On Unpaid Internships · · Score: 3, Informative

    I agree. I had to have an internship for my coursework. I ended up at some place that makes and sells bibles...
    Long story short, the guy that was there didnt talk to me for 2 days. I literally just sat there. THe last day I was there I came in and he said he had to leave. I had no orders or information on what to do. So I left him a note stating that if he has no work, dont waste my time.
    I spoke with the college about the issue and I got another internship, a better one.

    Most likely this means support jobs moved to a foreign country or outsourced.

    The Support/Call center for Godaddy is actually in Scottsdale Arizona.
