  4. Re:Training the robot repairmen? on IBM To Hire 2,000 More Veterans, Expand Tech Training Schools (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess I don't see how this will help domestic employment. In my world of IT, the next big thing is cloud/DevOps stuff and managing thousands of servers via automation............its called quantom computing and has nothing to do with domestic workers, it does have everything to do with seriously intelligent people...you have to think out of the box and its not stuff, its called enterprise security.

  5. Re: Why do you believe that? on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Solve the Instant Messaging Problem? · · Score: 1

    wow...an ac with a half brain...sms...go figure.

  8. Re: Do me a favour on Nick Denton Predicts 'The Good Internet' Will Rise Again (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    the good Internet never dropped. we can still pay our bills online as well as keep in touch with family & keep our careers up to date.

  9. AC..again, i consider the source of someone who doesn't login to /. because its cool... to be a coward.

  10. Re: FRost on Canadian Millennials Struggle As College Degrees Don't Guarantee Jobs (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    sorry but education takes a back seat to either who you know or who you are sleeping with or both. the hiring managers dont want to hire you if you are smarter than they are but we've known this for over 23 years.

  11. Re:Arizona has 3am daylight on Proof Daylight Saving Time Is Dumb, Dangerous, and Costly (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    AC, i like the "for all we know" part. i'm just considering the source and score of 0. i have only lived here for 10 years and have never heard of 3am daylight in az, besides, if you are up at 3am, trust me, its not daylight and dst is not enforced as of yet. we simply don't change our clocks.

  12. Re:Very simple on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Make Novice Programmers More Professional? · · Score: 1

    How Do You Make Novice Programmers More Professional?...you don't, they do it on their own, if programming is in the blood, they'll make it happen on their own.

  13. Re:Value of the open source ecosystem and communit on Linux Foundation Chief: Businesses 'Will Fail' If They Don't Use Open Source Code (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Businesses 'Will Fail' If They Don't Use Open Source Code...thats a hell of a marketing strategy but you have to remember, 7 billion people without a Start button when they sit in front of a monitor. The first think they do is pick up the phone and call their IT department for help. For the past 23 years, the global general public does not want to be educated to use Linux, they just want to retire using Windows.

    i'm glad i live in az. it cuts down on the global drama.

  15. Re:I don't know the answer on Backlash Builds Against Bill Gates' Call For A Robot Tax (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Backlash Builds Against Bill Gates' Call For A Robot Tax...as long as the robots are buildt in America by US citizens, no problem, it would make Trump happy, tax the hell out of them for taking American jobs. Maybe Gates and Trump should do lunch one on one and do it at the Gates residence. I don't think Gates owns any robots, he's into saving the human race globally so I'm pretty sure his staff are all human. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence buildt by man using a computer so it can be programmed to take mans job. This is where we take the headset off and breathe on our own. No more recordings to say "breathe in and now breathe out or exhale and continue to do so on your own.

  16. Re:Those emails, though on New Bill Would Allow Employers To Demand Genetic Testing From Workers (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 0

    New Bill Would Allow Employers To Demand Genetic Testing From Workers...this is just to make sure you are a legal US citizen to live and work here. trump is doing is a very detailed US "re-image" of its population and again, if you were not...born...or...not legal to be in the US...go back to where you came from. the US believes in Freedom for the US citizen, not 7 billion people. this is what the legal citizens of the US voted for and trump is making it happen. if you don't know what re-image is = google it, just make sure you back it up first and keep the *.pst and notes.ini files for all the IBMerz, you may need that backup going back to where you came from since it is doubtful that you know how to perform a mandiant or prism process and find your email passwords.

  17. Re: it's all over, anyway on GOP Senators' New Bill Would Let ISPs Sell Your Web Browsing Data (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    FLAKE, this is a bill i will not vote for and FLAKE, you are in way over your head with this issue besides, I seriously doubt that Sys Admins in the State of Arizona have the knowledge to gather info that would be beneficial.

  18. Re: Why pre-installed? on Dell Doubles Down On High-End Ubuntu Linux Laptops (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    michael is by-passing the general public and concentrating on the people that run the corporate enterprise networks.

  20. Re: Killed by the internet... on RadioShack Is Preparing to File For Bankruptcy Again (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    i ordered my first clock radio from the shack back in the day.

  21. So Windows is finally going to be replaced by something much worse? (Both in terms of usability and openness)...yeah, right, if it weren't for Windows, the general public would be lost and basicly /. would not exist without people complaining about Windows so it's not going anywhere at least in our timeframe.

  22. thanks for the reminder, i need to pay a parking ticket.
