  1. Re:Many managers are saddened they actually have t on Young IT Workers Disillusioned, Hard to Retain · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How often do we here, "If you don't like your job - QUIT already!"

    So we do just that, and the six and seven-figure salaries in management still feel violated.

    I say f- them. Either pay more, or quit complaining about our right to leave.

  2. Dilbert on The 10 Worst PC Keyboards of All Time · · Score: 1

    Remember when Dilbert's company shipped a keyboard without the letter 'Q'... the article didn't even mention this however.

  3. Re:As always, blame piracy on A Bleak Future For Physical Media Purchases? · · Score: 1

    Remember this "sell" from the 1980s.....


    "The Compact Disc Digital Audio System offers the best possible sound reproduction - on a small, convenient disc. Its remarkable performance is the result of a unique combination of digital storage and laser optics. For best results, you should apply the same care in storing and handling the Compact Disc as you would with conventional records. No cleaning is necessary if the Compact Disc is always held by its edges and is replaced in its case directly after playing. If the Compact Disc becomes soiled by fingerprints, dust or dirt, it can be wiped (always in a straight line, from center to edge) with a clean and lint-free, soft, dry cloth. Never use a solvent or abrasive cleaner to clean the disc. If you follow these suggestions, the Compact Disc will provide a lifetime of listening enjoyment.


    They lied. With this false advertising, they were able to sell CDs and players.

    We all deserve our money back for every disc purchased, plus however many players we bought!

  4. Re:Not to turn this into a religious debate, but.. on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    I KNOW there's a Llama under my bed. God moves it every time I look, then puts it back when I'm not looking.

  5. Re:1637 called, they want their idea back. on Scientist Suggests We Explore 'Universe is a VR Simulation' Theory · · Score: 1

    Can a computer simulate a computer? I think that's what emulation is about. But at the moment, nothing inside our own computers is likely to self-assemble such code, let alone observe and test its own existence.

  6. Re:Still no job? on Rails Bigwig Rails on Rails Community · · Score: 1
    More companies are deathly confounded by "let's get along" managers who believe teamwork and tolerance are more important than actual good work.

    Zed would have railed against the open secrets that allowed the tiger escape at the San Francisco zoo, and then he'd have been fired or reprimanded for not being politically and socially correct in his approach.

  7. Re:Does the third-world really need laptops? on LANCOR v. OLPC Case Continues In Nigerian Court · · Score: 1

    when an organization like this is sued by the very people it's most likely to benefit.
    Who says the kids will stay innocent? History says they won't.

    History says they will grow up and use whatever knowledge and skills they possess to better themselves by scamming and extorting others.

  8. Re:So? on Guantanamo Officers Caught Modifying Wikipedia · · Score: 1
    They may even be posting on Slashdot!

    Anyway, these officers are "whistle blowers" - aren't they? Or because some don't like what they wrote, then it becomes a form of corruption instead. Right.

  9. ANYONE means ANYONE on Guantanamo Officers Caught Modifying Wikipedia · · Score: 1
    Anyone may edit Wikipedia. Not "Anyone but government workers we dislike."

    If k dawson received a government paycheck, I'm sure it would suddenly be alright for such people to edit.

  10. Wha?! on Peru Orders 260K OLPCs, Mexico to Get 50K · · Score: 1

    I thought they swore that taxpayers would never pay for OLPC? That was one of the main selling points, originally. WTF?

  11. Re:Ares V? on First Details of Manned Mars Mission From NASA · · Score: 1
    By 2031, other nations will have manned missions and beat the US.

    I predict India, China, and Japan. Maybe the ESA.... maybe even the Russians will beat us.

    I think they all stand a good chance of dying on the first attempt, but it's hard to say.

  12. Re:Not a trojan on Trojan Found In New HDs Sold In Taiwan · · Score: 1

    A trojan is software that convinces the user to install it by looking like something else that the user might want to install.
    What you are basicly saying is that all trojans look alike. As a person of Asian ancestory, I am some what offended by your insensitivity.

  13. Re:Honestly on NASA Knows How To Party · · Score: 1

    Your economic understanding is good- but you must consider one major factor: practically all the extra wealth from "cutting back" would (and does) go toward accelerating relationships and having more children. Those extra kids then create all of the strain and demands on "the system" that cause poor education, overcrowding, budget problems... Enforcing some equilibrium between wealth vs. population would require great changes, such as a one-child policy or something similar.

  14. Editor's privilege on Is SETI Worth It? · · Score: 1

    "Is SETI worth it?"

    See? When you own a website -- you can flamebait and troll as much as you want!

  15. Re:When "defamation" include the truth? on Wikipedia Wins Defamation Case · · Score: 1
    I think this was a planned extortion of Wikipedia. They "outed" themselves in those entries.

    Why be suspicious? Simple- All they had to do was deny that they were gay. Sure, that may be lying- but it's also "lying" not to be "out" in a way.

    Gay or not, I think they planned this.

  16. Bad romantic consequence on Wolfram's 2,3 Turing Machine Not Universal · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hope that this young man's girlfriend stands by him. So many women would be driven away from an otherwise suitable boyfriend who is skilled at the maths.

  17. Re:Fair and Balanced on Call for a Presidential Debate on Science · · Score: 1
    There is one thing that Relativists want to be absolute- their own views.

    Particularly in regard to scientific opinions.

  18. Re:The problem with this memory.... on Researchers Achieve Amazing Memory Density · · Score: 1

    In order for this professor's idea to work -- it MUST be AMAZINGLY DENSE.

  19. "cash will not be accepted" on Apple Makes $831 On Each AT&T iPhone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Cash will be accepted by the competition. I will not do business with pricks who treat me so suspiciously as not to accept pocket change.

  20. Re:Not to be confused with Red Holes on Hundreds of Black Holes Found · · Score: 1

    As the gas and dust are devoured by the black hole, they heat up and shoot out X-rays.
    These sound like giant holes to devour.

    I can't wait to see hi-resolution images of these massive "gassholes" in action.

  21. Colors on Bridgestone Shows Off Ultra-Thin, Full-Color e-Paper · · Score: 1
    4,096 colors is 1024 * 4.

    The "1024" is predictable, but I wonder why 4-times that figure?

  22. AC/DC on Led Zeppelin Agrees To Digital Distribution · · Score: 4, Funny
    No AC/DC on iTunes, last time I checked.

    (I check several times each day.)

  23. Make Friends With Us Asians on Best Way To Teach Oneself Math? · · Score: 1
    Best way to cope in difficult maths - make close friend with me or other from Oriental family.

    Student with glasses also quite smarter than average....

  24. Re:Nothing fancy. on Best Way To Teach Oneself Math? · · Score: 1
    The problem I have is with the so-called "answer guides", if they are even available. At best, they might give the answers to odd-numbered problems in the back of the book.

    The need to stop cheating on homework is a paltry excuse for totally screwing those of us trying to learn.

  25. Re:That's a 1bn GAIN to the country. on New Head of EMI Says 'Embrace Digital Music or Die' · · Score: 1
    Apple should drop the "Garage" in "Garage Band" and sell it as the professional studio it is (or could be).

    They could also license or brand a line of recording equipment... perhaps even instruments...

    Macs could be sold with your own personal "store" (like iTunes) that serves out songs to downloaders, paying right into your PayPal account!
