  1. At IBM on Daimler's Solution For Annoying Out-of-office Email: Delete It · · Score: 1

    There are people who are either NEVER out of office or ALWAYS out of office. But there's a hard and fast rule you never respond or reply either way.

  2. Become IBM on Ask Slashdot: How Dead Is Antivirus, Exactly? · · Score: 1

    Who's employee build image is so laden with agents and management software it renders the notion of having a functioning laptop obsolete. In fact if they hadn't made their workforce work from home they'd probably have built a Citrix XEN environment and handed out slim clients. Who knows, they probably will and drive 'productivity' all the way to zero.

  3. Deutschland Nicht Uber Alles on Berlin Bans Car Service Uber · · Score: 1

    How droll is that?

  4. All Hail Maximum Leader Barack on The Billion-Dollar Website · · Score: 1

    Maybe if the NYT wasn't a kneejerk checkbox All Hail Obama hamster cage lining piece of shit that it is, people wouldn't hate on it. Until then they can suck cock in hell.

  6. What news sites....asshole? on Writer: Internet Comments Belong On Personal Blogs, Not News Sites · · Score: 1

    There are no news sites. There's just blogs that people like you happen to get paid to crap out. Everything is op ed you doucebag. So fuck off.

  7. Spend money on reliability and drivers on Solid State Drives Break the 50 Cents Per GiB Barrier, OCZ ARC 100 Launched · · Score: 1

    Try not to scrimp on that because you are literally killing off the entire product class by having shitty drivers and quality. No, really, you are. Half the consumers out there are getting SSD's are slower than 7200rpm SATA drives at half the reliability for 5x the cost.

  8. On come on now Edward on Snowden: NSA Working On Autonomous Cyberwarfare Bot · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You're YEARS out of government service and if we're being honest, we're supposed to believe that you personally had in depth first hand technical knowledge of everything the NSA has ever and will ever do. There's two way to look at this. Either your paranoid soaked liar, or, you have a current contact in the NSA and you are bragging about committing treason.

  9. Re:I suppose the obvious answer on Hackers Demand Automakers Get Serious About Security · · Score: 1

    I doubt it's impossible to buy a car w/o a built in GPS and it's equally unlikely that having one for instance is a requirement for registration. Anyway this /. are there not some bright lights out there who know how to pull a fuse out?

  10. I suppose the obvious answer on Hackers Demand Automakers Get Serious About Security · · Score: 1

    Of don't own a car with all those gadgets doesn't occur to anyone? On the other hand, laws are funny things. Everyone claims to want to end drunk driving no matter what but as soon as you suggest lifetime revocation of all licenses upon first conviction and mandatory long prison time for second offense, all of a sudden it's a 'societal problem'.

    Oh well.

  11. Just wait till Windows 10 on Microsoft Surface Drowning? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A new post-Metro interface that requires you to use only your right finger. It doesn't have a start button or any app buttons and all the gestures are based on Serbo-Croation standard sign language.

  12. Now they can replace IBM managers on IBM Creates Custom-Made Brain-Like Chip · · Score: 5, Funny

    Assuming of course this chip can hold 2 hr conference calls with 40 other chips and pound out 240 page Powerpoints.

  13. Re:Right, because $50,000 investments are easy on Why Morgan Stanley Is Betting That Tesla Will Kill Your Power Company · · Score: 1

    In a similar vein homeowners in Hawaii were sold a bill of goods that if they installed solar units they could sell back power to the utility company and make their money back. No one talked it up with the utilities who weren't prepared for that level of load going into the network so they refused to allow it. Meanwhile thousands of homeowners had already installed the arrays with all of the sunk cost which, while it saves them buying some power, they're probably never going to be allowed sell it back. The economic breakeven point of these solar arrays is now so far out in the future it makes less than zero economic sense.

  14. Right, because $50,000 investments are easy on Why Morgan Stanley Is Betting That Tesla Will Kill Your Power Company · · Score: 1

    Everyone's going to have $50,000 installations to recover all that solar power. It'll be free! Better than free! Cars will run on happiness.

    the truth of this super gigantic global conspiracy of everything.

  19. SONY might be done on Sony Tosses the Sony Reader On the Scrap Heap · · Score: 1

    SONY is like Sears or Atari. Just one long stream of failure after failure until they run out of things to sell off. Then they're done as anything other than a motion picture distributor.

  20. They should do what IBM did on Satya Nadella At Six Months: Grading Microsoft's New CEO · · Score: 1

    Fire everyone and become a VC, buy a Fortune 200 company every year, suck it dry and throw away the husk. Move on to the next one.

  24. Buh Bye Sprint and T-Mobile on Sprint/T-Mobile Plan To Buy Spectrum Together May Be Blocked By FCC · · Score: 2

    The plan was always to block all mergers of Sprint and T-Mobile so that they will eventually die on the vine and Verizon and AT&T can pick up their subscriber base for pennies. Then it's time to jack prices to the sky and crush service even more. Now that the state of the industry in the US is more than 15 years behind the curve of the rest of the industrialized world, things will only get worse. In a few more years Telcom will be so bad in the US it will become a driver to send people and industries out of the US. At that point the industry will do in death spiral of trying to jack prices and dialing back service and the whole industry implodes.

    Soon retail telcom in the US will be like air travel.

  25. So yet another interface? on Google+ Photos To Be Separated From Google+ · · Score: 1

    There's now 2; 1 for G+ and 1 for Piscasa and they don't play well together especially for Mobile. Instant Upload and AutoBackup create 2 different directories and Instant Upload isn't viewable from Android even when you use it in Android. The UI is different for Picasa and G+ even though they're supposed to be the same thing. They have different features. So is this going to be a THIRD way? Because that will suck and it will be time to move everything somewhere else.

    On the upside, not needing an 80MB G+ client in Android just to use pictures will be nice.
