    I average 10.8m isk per hour. Please consider me as your operator. I only require one main with max anchor and drone op, and at least four alts for hauling. What sec are these rocks located? Thank you.

  4. Re:TopSlot on Most Planets In the Universe Are Homeless · · Score: 1

    And I always wondered why people post their idle ponderings as a reply to anonymous cowards posting their penis. Where is the connection here? I mean it happens all the time here, entire endless discussions always seem to trace back to a first post racial slur and playground profanity.

  6. Re:What's the point of a hack like this? on Lizard Squad Bomb Threat Diverts Sony Exec's Plane To Phoenix · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I guess anyone clever enough to do something intelligent or useful with these attacks would also be smart enough not to bother.

    Yeah I was constantly getting called up by charter for upsell. I had to log into my account and dig around for that checkbox that disables me from promotions.

  8. Re:Perl still works, and PHP is fine on Ask Slashdot: Choosing a Web Language That's Long-Lived, and Not Too Buzzy? · · Score: 1

    We do have two experts on staff long term that maintain the core, but yeah new people come in and get started with us all the time and it works out great. They add to our platform as need and eventually move on, and PHP is a decent platform for this model to work. Why do you think this is somehow wrong? Are you too old and get cant a job now and need to cry about it somewhere? This discussion is about what works as an alternative to perl. PHP is working great for our situation.

    you seemed to skip over the

    " and come in at affordable rates, "

    part of the post.

    Our current platform has grown just fine over the last nine years and the perl platform we were on prior to this one began to have issues with finding new blood willing to come in and support it. The old blood wanting more money were typically snatched up by large corporations who would afford them.

  10. Re:Perl still works, and PHP is fine on Ask Slashdot: Choosing a Web Language That's Long-Lived, and Not Too Buzzy? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you are concerned about getting in employees who know the language from school or have experience at several prior jobs, and come in at affordable rates, or have a concern about available contractors, PHP is going to give you a larger available talent pool that you can swap people in and out faster then continuing with perl or going down just about any other path where the knowledge pool will be fairly limited. There are a lot of platforms in PHP that can aid with this, providing frameworks that everyone can follow regardless of how stable or unstable your development team may be.

  11. the smart ones simply leave on Aliens and the Fermi Paradox · · Score: 2

    Sufficiently advanced races who develop the technology to travel to other planets find that same technology eventually allows them to exit the universe entirely. This leads to custom universes that are far more suitable for stable permanent civilizations outside of the chaos of the original birth universe. Colonizing other planets just seems like a chaotic inefficient messy task with little reward.

    Not just more power, not just more cycles, not just more mhz, but actual 'horsepower'. Neat.

  16. am i the only one on Time Dilation Drug Could Let Heinous Criminals Serve 1,000 Year Sentences · · Score: 1

    I read time dilation and immediately thought about how much more i could get done today with that drug.

    This whole prison thing seems like an odd deviation from what should be the real topic.

  17. wow really on Your 60-Hour Work Week Is Not a Badge of Honor · · Score: 1

    so let me get this straight. If i am in an interview and i explain to them how well i held up under the pressure of ongoing 60 hour work weeks at my current or previous positions, this does nothing for me to get the next job?

    I know for the positions i have hired people in for, this sort of experience is something i always considered a good thing. People who have been willing to do what it takes to get things done.

    the operating range of a suspect in brown shorts and shirt outfit delivering a package manually is immediate proximity only, with likely video surveillance and eye witness identification.

    the delivery range of a rogue drone carrying a dirty bomb or biological agent is 10 miles.

    im pretty sure there is a difference

  20. someday soon the crazy anthrax people on eBay CEO: Amazon Drones Are Fantasy · · Score: 2

    are going to throw a party all over this country. once drones are the accepted process, anyone with a radio and a look alike amazombie will be able to deposit malicious packages just about anywhere, fly it into a river, and be out of there before something blows up. I will feel slightly better receiving a package that i know was at least exposed to one other person before me.

    um
    eggs? toast? chicken? wine? that sounds like actual food items

    for profitable grocery items that actual move you need to follow the nearest child to their favorite section where capn crunch, eggos, pop tarts, fruit rollups and oreos live. you look at all that crap and tell me it cant just be printed on demand to the same effect.
