  1. Re:or, alternatively on Study: Happiness Improves Developers' Problem Solving Skills · · Score: 4, Funny

    People who get regular sex are happier and more productive.

    It's a health care issue and should be mandated the employer pays for whores.

  5. Authenticate commentors with some physical media. on Psychologists: Internet Trolls Are Narcissistic, Psychopathic, and Sadistic · · Score: 1

    Like a letter and a phone call. They send you a self addressed stamped envelope. You send one half of the code via mail and call them with the other half.
    Accounts deactivate at a regular interval and need a reactivation code gets mailed. I'm sure someone can game this but it slows them down.

  6. Those who can't do the job will rule the job. on Good Engineering Managers Just "Don't Exist" · · Score: 1

    Pournelle's Iron Law
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Pournelle#Iron_Law_of_Bureaucracy

    I'm fairly sure that is a facet of that law. You have a less than stellar engineer who goes into management to cover his sins with real engineers flesh. They do tend to keep an organization alive. It would be helpful if there were a clandestine organization that assasinated upper level beurocrats in both government and quazi government entities but that's never going to happen.

  7. Thank you noble 'shroom eater for taking on The Death Cap Mushroom Is Spreading Across the US · · Score: 1

    Our current contestant is at Stage 1 and has gorged herself on 1 pound of prime poisonous 'shrooms.

  8. POINT FUCKING DEFENSE BITCHES!!! on Do Hypersonic Missiles Make Defense Systems Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    There is NO magic panacea you have to meet EVERY credible threat. If you're thinking that you can sit in your bunker and throw missiles and drones out you're a fool.

  9. Fart Watch on The Scent Rhythm Watch Tells Time By Releasing Fragrances · · Score: 1

    I'd fill mine with cadaverine and mercaptan then put it near the desk of the woman that bathes and gargles in Emerude, cause she cooks up the bacon and brings it home like a man.

  10. You need to make a country. on Bitcoin Exchange CEO Charlie Shrem Arrested On Money Laundering Charge · · Score: 1

    If you want freedom you need to make a country. I'd suggest one in orbit. Then those countries that don't want to be smoking craters will leave you the hell alone. Then colonize the moon.

  13. Re:The basics... on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Convince an ISP To Bury Cable In Your Neighborhood? · · Score: 1

    Yep
    Option 1) Use your vast political machine to convince congress to once again smash the HOA's in the mouth and allow it.
    Option 2) You kill enough people in your community they vote to allow it
          a)or vote to pay for the underground wires
          b) or the remaining bleaters all leave and you ARE the
                  HOA and you can do what you want.
    Option 3) You destroy the local telecom and plunder all of it's accounts of cold hard cash, launder it and use that to take over their infrastructure.
    Option 4) Move.

    All of them are expensive, some are more expensive than others. If you pick the most expensive and cruel congratulations Bezos has job for you.

    You use the same constitutional provision the Nazi's used to stifle free speech. You've not stopped being evil.

  15. Now that I know this on Amazon: We Can Ship Items Before Customers Order · · Score: 1

    I can forgo ordering from them and keep what they send me for free.

    It's the law. :)

  16. 99% foreign made 100% American made on Nobel Prize Winning Economist: Legalize Sale of Human Organs · · Score: 1

    The corpratists have made sure the laws were changed so they could slap Made in America on it regardless of what is in it.

    We manufacture stuff that is wholly done in China. Not all of the parts were made in China but none of them were made in the US.

    All that is needed is some 'expert handwavium' such as a precision finishing touch or calibration, etc.

    And as added bonus they can also slap "Union Made" on it.

  17. What me worry? on Target Hackers Have More Data Than They Can Sell · · Score: 1

    So they dump a small portion of them for free all over the place. If some who use it get busted it's a smoke screen but they can claim they're freedom fighting Robyn Hoods or something. My bank can only dock me $50 except that I have a plan that is free which means I don't get docked squat the bank eats it.

  18. Re:concerning is ... on Oracle Promises Patches Next Week For 36 Exploits In Latest Java · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ADP forces the use of an ancient and bug infested version of java for it's timecard application. We've been infected SO MANY times they finally decided to setup a dedicated PC that has no other access.

    This of course removes all the benefit of having web acdess to time card entry, eats up time employees could be working but the gossip and knife fights are good entertainment.

  19. Learn to own hardware or it will own you.
