  1. Re:Costco says wut? on America's 'Retail Apocalypse' Is Really Just Beginning (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    When they finally opened one in New Orleans....I found it is like Sam's Club, but on steroids.

    And unlike Walmart, Costco treats their employees like human beings, rather than slaves.

    Vigilantism is _never_ a good idea.

    Unless you wear a cool suite with a cowl shaped like bat-ears and a cape... and use lots of cool tech.

    Just out of idle curiosity...

    Are you serious? And if so, where the hell do you live?

    You cut your finger, put on a band-aid, and you are locked out of your account.

    IMAP is better, if you use both a mail client and a web interface.

    All they need to do is feed the crew a steady diet of beans.

    I guess if this doesn't work out they can blame it on the Bossa Nova

    Mod AC parent up. This is known, I believe Kaon decay is one of the proprosed mechanisms to explain the imbalance.

    The correct answer is, "If you don't know, you don't need one,"

    I believe that was also Sony's answer to the rootkit fiasco. ""Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?".

  15. Re:The electronic "signature" pad is a bigger joke on MasterCard Has Finally Realized That Signatures Are Obsolete and Stupid (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    Let us not forget when you have to sign with your friggin' finger at times.

    Either way, signing on a pad of some kind with a stylus or a finger doesn't look ANYTHING like my normal sig, so I kind of just sign with a "swoosh" on those.

  16. I think that AC was using sarcasm...

    Recruiters are dickheads. Period.

    At one point in life, I signed up with a recruiter. During the face-to-face I told the guy, "I don't do database. I don't know database. Don't send me any job offers that involve doing database."

    So I get sent on this interview. 30 seconds in, I realize it's a SQL job. Once the hiring manager finishes talking, the first thing I do is apologize for wasting his time. I explain that the recruiter shouldn't have sent me. I thank him for his time, and ask him to keep me in mind should anything non-DB show up.

    Have never dealt with a recruiter since. Even when I was laid off.

    My old MS Intellimouse 2.0 had that issue. Thank you for explaining why it happened. Seriously. I wound up trashing it for a Logitech.
