  1. Re:Seems obvious on NASA Feed 'Goes Down As Horseshoe UFO Appears On ISS Live Cam' (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Clearly you are misled. The moon landing was faked. They couldn't POSSIBLY have flown to the moon, because it's a backdrop for the flat Earth... Also, man will NEVER fly.. it's one huge hoax.. =)

  2. Re:Fire all the officers? on Once Again, Baltimore Police Arrest a Person For Recording Them · · Score: 1

    Yes but what usually happens, is they are "suspended with pay."

    That's the problem with "qualified immunity", the cops are above the law in most cases.

  3. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 on Ask Slashdot: Can a Felon Work In IT? · · Score: 1

    According to the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), blanket policies against all felonies are discrimination, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

    EEOC Enforcement Guidance

    Blanket policies are racially discriminatory.

    That being said, if you're caucasian, you probably won't be able to get anyone to pick up the case. The ACLU won't touch it.

    The felony is only supposed to be discriminated against if it affects the job position, i.e., if you rob a bank, you shouldn't be allowed to work in a bank, etc.

    They also ban felons from getting professiona licenses (such as a plumber's or electrician's license), getting SNAP food benefits, TANF benefits if they have kids, student loans, etc. Unless the state has passed legislation opting out of the ban, like many have.

    It's not right, felonies weren't meant to become life sentences in most cases, but this has the effect of becoming a life sentence. And they wonder why people return to crime... it's because they have no other means of supporting themselves.

    Seattle,WA passed a law making it illegal to ask about felonies until you've been given an offer of employment.

  4. Windows 10 experience with VirtualBox on Data From Windows 10 Feedback Tool Exposes Problem Areas · · Score: 1

    My experience was that the installer never got past the loading icon in VirtualBox...

  5. PETA kills animals! on PETA Is Not Happy That Google Used a Camel To Get a Desert "StreetView" · · Score: 1

    They can talk to me about animal cruelty when they no longer hold the record for most animals killed in a shelter.

    Are you talking ANSI graphic animations..? ;)

    I'm getting 65 Meg down and 12 Meg up on my commiecast connection in Seattle... we pay for 50/10...

    ...That said, they had to come out and work on the lines, as before we were lucky to get 12 Meg down and 5 Meg up...

  8. Is it accessible for disabled people? on Research Unveils Improved Method To Let Computers Know You Are Human · · Score: 1

    Yes, but is it accessible by disabled people, i.e., blind users that need screen readers..?

  9. Re:This is great. Long live Drupal. on Australian Government To Standardise On Drupal · · Score: 2

    which consists of thousands of different modules

    Fabulous! what every project wants - nay, needs - is to import THOUSANDS of different modules.

    Yeah, and that's exactly how many modules are used in a typical Drupal site... why are people who truly know nothign about Drupal posting bad things about it..?

  10. Re:Those poor bastards on Australian Government To Standardise On Drupal · · Score: 1

    PHP input filter is disabled by default from Drupal 7 on... really it's only good for prototyping.

    Get ahold of me outside of Slashdot... myke at hempfest.org...

    SlashDot is just one avenue of researching this...

  16. Re:Stop making this way too hard on Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice For Large Outdoor Festival? · · Score: 1

    Being as the event is free to attend, including the cost of wifi into the ticket price wouldn't work here. It is for the festival organizers, not the public...

    I should also point out that the 4G this year has been much better than previous years, but still leaves much to be desired.

  17. Re:Stoned... on Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice For Large Outdoor Festival? · · Score: 1

    With over 1000 volunteers who need to check in for insurance and permit reasons, doing that on paper would create even longer lines. The 4G isn't used for YouTube, FaceBook, Reddit, etc. only for check-in...

  18. Re:A Day Late And A Dollar Short on Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice For Large Outdoor Festival? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's EXACTLY how we run things. Funny how people can make judgements on people they've never met and events they've most likely never attended...

    It's amazing how the "non-stoners" can come out sounding less intelligent than those who partake, isn't it...? That's why you posted under "Anonymous Coward."

  19. Re:A Day Late And A Dollar Short on Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice For Large Outdoor Festival? · · Score: 1

    I can confirm that the post appeared by the next day after posting it, and it was definitely posted after the 2013 event, in preparation for the 2014 event.

    I would love to have a mesh setup, suggestions on software/hardware..?

    As this isn't open to the general public, we will have less need for caching since the internal systems are mostly text based web pages...

    The hotspots will be password protected...

  22. Pothead stereotypes... on Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice For Large Outdoor Festival? · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's funny how the "non potheads" can't think outside the box enough to realize this is for the 2014 Hempfest, not the 2013 one which ended last weekend on the 18th... ;)

  23. Re: I think some of you have it backward on Ask Slashdot: 4G Networking Advice For Large Outdoor Festival? · · Score: 1

    Cable, fiber, and DSL are difficult, if not impossible, to run into Myrtle Edwards park, and I'm guessing the city would never allow it unless it was their idea.
