  1. I don't know, why not ask Apple? on The 'Linux Inside' Stigma · · Score: 1

    Since their Mac OS is a MACH kernel with bits of BSD stuck on top of it. Maybe Apple wants you to associate their stuff with Apple and only Apple.

  2. Congress is still debating the Barbary Pirates on H-1B Cap Reached Today; Didn't Get In? Too Bad · · Score: 1

    They should get to this issue sometime around the year 2347

    99.9% of people who work for government are robots with no useful opinion on anything.

  4. Mother Government wants....... on Senator Feinstein: We Need Video Game Control · · Score: 1

    To be your mother. It doesn't matter what you're talking about Feinstein wants to control it and limit you. That's her job. Well that and taxing you to pay for all that control.

  5. If I had an account which I don't on WA State Bill Would Allow Bosses To Seek Facebook Passwords · · Score: 1

    It would consist of the following:

    "I will fucking hunt you down and murder your entire family. Have a nice day."

  6. Not bloody likely on Why You Should Worry About the Future of Chromebooks · · Score: 1

    Our laptop standard is an 8GB quad processor barely sufficient to run Linux and Windows emulation.

  7. Is there a point to any of this? on Windows Phone Actually Gaining Market Share In Some Countries · · Score: 1

    Or is it just 04/01?

  8. Re:Least of all Apple or Steve Jobs on Steve Jobs' First Boss: 'Very Few Companies Would Hire Steve, Even Today' · · Score: 2

    No, it's a company run by lawyers and accountants now.

    He'd laugh himself out of the door if he showed up for a job today.

  12. It should be taxed on Ask Slashdot: Should Bitcoin Be Regulated? · · Score: 0

    Like everything else in the Obamaverse.

  13. Look at the voting ownership on Why Bad Directors Aren't Thrown Out · · Score: 1

    Look at Netflix for example. No matter how many stupid failures their CEO stumbles over.....It's because Netflix is barely a public company where most of the stock is held by a tiny group of 3 or 4 hedge funds. Each of which is run by ONE guy. So most of the voting shares are held by a half dozen people who all know the board personally.

    You do the math.

  14. Of course on Does Scientific Literacy Make People More Ethical? · · Score: 1

    The Nazi doctors and missile engineers were nothing if not ethical

  15. Why does Obama want a space rock? on NASA Asteroid Capture Mission To Be Proposed In 2014 Budget · · Score: 1

    Nothing there to tax.

  16. How about just having whole disk encryption? on Why Your Next Phone Will Include Biometric Security · · Score: 1

    I think my employer already demands too many agents scanners, tools, audits, logs and processes. Just encrypt the phone and even go so far that after the nth failed login it performs a factory reset.But enough of this "Let's add just 3 or 4 MORE steps to logging into your device" nonsense.

  17. Hardly stealthy right now on United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea · · Score: 1

    You can just look up in the sky and point. Hey there goes that stealthy bomber.

    Gartner knows what Microsoft tells them to know.

  19. Work for the government then on Most IT Admins Have Considered Quitting Due To Stress · · Score: 1

    No expectations, no results. We pretend to work, they pretend to pay us.

  20. Walmart has never been inside a Walmart? on Wal-Mart To Join Amazon In Providing In-Store Locker Service · · Score: 1

    Ever try to get ANYTHING from the back of the store or the desk to pick something up? IF, and that's a huge if, IF you can find a breathing human, they're all 'on break'. If you go out on the floor everyone is instructed to give the same answer to all questions "Yo, I jus started here I dun know". If you eventually find anyone in the bowels of the store who is standing behind some counter all they will do is push a few random keys, frown and give up. So if you think THESE drones are going to get your stuff placed in the right locker or any locker at all and/or will be around and capable of addressing their own mistakes while you are there......you're as dumb as they are.

  21. Very amusing, and cynical on To Prevent Deforestation, Brazilian Supermarkets Ban Amazon Meat · · Score: 1
