  1. Tech Jobs Need Replacing on Tech Jobs Are Replacing Tech Jobs in Silicon Valley · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You should replace the person with the tech job of writing headlines with a new person with the tech job of writing headlines.

  2. Coincidence on HP To Jettison Up To 30,000 Jobs As Part of Spinoff · · Score: 1

    Amazingly, the VP idiots who decided to fire the 30,000 people will all get raises that add up to the exact salary of the 30,000 people.

    This is all a complete coincidence.

    You misspelled misspelled.

  4. Idiotic Nonsense on Why CSI: Cyber Matters · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This CSI show is so awful that it is difficult to make a short list of what is wrong with it. First of all, there is no "CSI" in the show, even though it is named CSI: Cyber. They aren't doing crime scene investigation. They are doing evidence forensics on technology recovered by actual CSI people. But they show them visiting crime scenes and doing other activities that a forensic specialist would never do. I guess this isn't any worse than the instant DNA tests and one day court cases we see on other shows, but who needs inaccurate methods on a show about methods?

    It is clear that they have no technical advisers, or if they do, they are incompetent. There are errors that exist that have no reason to exist. Sometimes you have to take shortcuts to make a plot work or something, but they insert ridiculous dialog and ideas when they don't have any reason to do so.

    This show really isn't any worse or better than the Scorpion show, which for some reason puts the name of itself in a close tag. When the show's title is an error in itself, how much can you hope for?

  5. Re:I hope the Device Protection is optional. on Google Announces Android 5.1 · · Score: 2

    "have put" and "have to put" are two different things

  6. Short Lived on Delivery Drones: More Feasible If They Come By Truck · · Score: 1

    If this were to be approved, the first time a drone hits a kid in the head and rips out his eye, the company will be sued out of existence.

  7. Parts on Smartphone Theft Drops After Spread of Kill Switches · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I still see lots of people selling phones for "parts" and quietly noting that the device is locked and they somehow don't have the password. So people are obviously still stealing phones without knowing they can't actually use them.

  8. Stop making freaks on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 0

    If you want a child that grows up to be that weird guy who stands in a corner talking to himself, go ahead and homeschool.

    He'll probably have one of those stupid hyphenated last names too.

  9. "by the 1980s was seen as a destination for personal computers, gadgets and components that were hard to find elsewhere."

    It is still the place to find computers, gadgets and components... from the 1980s...!!

  10. Re:AT&T and Comcast on Comcast Employees Change Customer Names To 'Dummy' and Other Insults · · Score: 5, Informative
    Comcast is trying to merge with Time Warner Cable, not AT&T.

    Here is some more info: The Comcast-Time Warner Cable Merger May Not Happen

  11. What about Windows 9? on Microsoft Reveals Windows 10 Will Be a Free Upgrade · · Score: 0

    I don't understand why Microsoft decided to skip Windows 9. They are skipping the version that would have been good!

    Windows XP: Good
    Windows Vista: Bad
    Windows 7: Good
    Windows 8: Bad
    Windows 9: (Good?)
    Windows 10: (Bad?)

  12. Re:Schedule D?! on Intuit Charges More For Previously Offered TurboTax Features, Users Livid · · Score: 0

    Hopefully they know that the dollar sign goes before the number.

  13. Re:Principles? on An Automated Cat Litter Box With DRM · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing you're reading slashdot and not dotslash then.

  14. Stupid on FBI Concerned About Criminals Using Driverless Cars · · Score: 1

    The FBI is dumb. Hasn't everyone figured this out yet?

  15. Re:Why are there so few black engineers? on Jesse Jackson To Take On Silicon Valley's Lack of Diversity · · Score: 1

    Maybe some of them know the difference between "where" and "were." You clearly don't.

  16. "Set Top Box" Makes No Sense on Intel To Launch Paid Web TV Service With Set-Top Box · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Look. We all have flat panel televisions now. Exactly how are we supposed to put these boxes on top of them?

    You need to call these something else.

    Under set box?
    Accessory box?
    Smart TV box?

    Or start building a shelf on top of the TV.

  17. Getting ridiculous on Accessorize Your Phone With Another Phone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If your phone is so big and cumbersome that you need a second phone that is easier to hold and easier to handle, then why wouldn't you just get a primary phone that fits those requirements in the first place?

    I see these people with their ridiculous 5 inch Android phones. They have them set to dim and turn off the screen almost immediately, because the battery life is so shitty. When they aren't swiping around on them like a crazy person, they are looking for power outlets to keep the stupidly big things charged up.

    Screw that. Get a phone with a normal size screen, a phone that fits in your pocket, a phone that has a battery that lasts for a whole day, a phone that doesn't need another phone as an accessory.

  18. Re:Really? This is new? on New KScreen Supplies Some Magic For Multi-Monitor Linux Set-Ups · · Score: 1

    Mac II wasn't released until 1987.

    Some people were using them before they were released...

  19. Really? This is new? on New KScreen Supplies Some Magic For Multi-Monitor Linux Set-Ups · · Score: 1

    I was doing this on a Mac II in 1986.

  20. Re:And he still has a job? on Yahoo CEO Wrongly Claimed To Have Degree In Computer Science · · Score: 1

    A GED is legally equivalent to a high school diploma. He should sue for wrongful termination. Or just get a new job someplace that isn't run by dicks.

  23. Fiction on Ask Slashdot: Tech For Small Library Automation? · · Score: 0

    Since it is a church, I assume all of the books will be placed in the fiction section, right? If not, you're doing it wrong.

  25. Re:newsflash? on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 1

    You only use two spaces if you're using a typewriter. On a computer, you should never put two spaces between sentences, unless you are using a mono-spaced font.
