  1. Clue stick, meet thick skull... on Google Execs Happy With $1 Salaries · · Score: 1
    The stock could crash and they could also end up with not much more than that $1.

    Sure, and the Earth might just stop spinning and reverse direction. Could be why they sell millions of dollars worth on a regular basis. You think they live on the $1? And, even if Google stock tanked, do you really suppose that all their stock would not amount to much more than a dollar? Anything is possible, not realistic.

  2. Where is your mind... on Botnet Brain Pleads Guilty · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    No. Your pre-occupation with sex is not particularly funny, and of no interest to anyone else, except maybe other loozerz like you who sit in their dark rooms feverishly masturbating with one hand while working the keyboard with the other, thumbing through page after page of pulsating pussies being mercilessly pounded by rock-hard throbbing members splashing gallons of sweet stick man lava in an orgy of unbridled prurient lust...

  3. Re:Linin' Large! on How to Survive a Bad Boss · · Score: 1
    The answer is to quit once you've landed another job and explain why you're leaving in your exit interview.

    I agrre to a point. When it's time to go, if they don't understand why you are leaving, why WASTE any of your time tellijng them all about it? Realistically, they know what's up and don't think it's an issue, and if it's a problem it's YOUR problem. That's why they allow it to exist. Fuck 'em. Get a new job, walk out the door, and never look back. Toss a lit match on the floor as you leave.

  4. Linin' Large! on How to Survive a Bad Boss · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Quit. Seriously. The answer is to quit.

    Yes, of course, because we're all foot-lose and fancy-free, we all work because if we didn't we'd all just sleep all day, and jobs just come along! But seriously, for the vast majority of people out there, this is not really a realistic option. Usually, personal situations like family with children prevent it, but there could be many other things. Economically, most people today live a few paychecks away from living on the street, and might as well be indentured servants. This is why it simply is not uncommon for people in our society to snap and kill a few people on the way out the door. Bad bosses should not be the problem of the worked bee; it should be management's problem, that's why the "professionals" in Human Resources make the big bucks, right?

    What's the story on AdBlock?

  6. Huh? Problem? Wow. on Slashdot Index Code Update · · Score: 1, Insightful
    This content is mostly lost to readers who simply don't know it exists.

    Because they are unable to follow the "Yesterday's News" links? Unable to see the "Sections" links? Us the "Search" function? Thes must also be the people that have never been to a web portal or blog before. I would have never guessed it was a "problem".

  7. Bad Analogy Guy on IE7 Leaked · · Score: 1

    Yes, well, to be technically correct at Slashdot is a rare behavior as well! But you're right, I should have left this to Bad Analogy Guy.

  8. Leaks? I'll show you LEAKS! on IE7 Leaked · · Score: 5, Insightful

    IE7 can't possibly leak as much as Firefox. That browser is a memory pig! But I guess that's the price for security and "standards compliance"

  9. Big Players Lose on The Future of e-Commerce and e-Information? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    you may one day discover that Yahoo suddenly responds much faster to your inquiries, overriding your affinity for Google.

    Considering how much "dark fiber" Google owns, I suspect they saw this comming. I think it is not Google, but Yaho and MSN that might be in for problems. And, don't think that the Big Palyers in the content supply business will just sit by and take this, they have a lot to lose...

  10. Re:one error among many on The World According to Google · · Score: 1
    horrid redundancy

    I love that. I really do. But anyway, I thought hoi polloi was the name of a punk rock band. What's all this about foreign language? Also, is Anonymous Coward foreign for snob?

  13. "Flamebait" reeducation commune... on The World According to Google · · Score: 1
    You are exactly correct. I'll bet that someone with less clouded vision than whoever modded you "flamebait" will come along and fix it.

    Google is a corporation, like any other. People like to see it as still like it's underdog roots, but that fantasy was over long ago, and while they may be the knight that slays the Big Bad Microsoft, they will do so for money and, yes, domination, not because it's "good" not "evil". Google promotes the "do good, not evil" thing because it appeals to their audience, not because it has any particular relevance in their overall philosophy and business plan. I predict that one day; we will see Google start to leverage their power in ways that the Google Sheep have a hard time imagining now. This type of thought always results in banishment to "flamebait" reeducation commune.

  14. Google Dish on The World According to Google · · Score: 5, Insightful
    It has interviews with Google staff and people who dislike the company.

    It occurs to me that stuff like this that appears at Slashdot and elsewhere on a regular basis, it's just exactly like all the entertainment industry dish that goes on out there. It seems that geeks are really no different than all the other hoi polloi out there, their soap operas just have different characters...

  15. Non-Issue on Mistakes Found in 98% of US Patents · · Score: 1, Informative
    The findings from a recent look by Itellevate, a firm that offers support services to intellectual property lawyers, claim that most of these errors a trivial...

    In other words, nothing to see here. Only adds to the shrillness factor of the anti-patent crowd. Many patents are questionable at best, but a 2% rate of "trivial" errors is a non-issue.

    But sadly have been unable to get him to see the light. Jst the usual right something up on it for me and then watch him forget about it. Lage corporations are great that way.

    It's probably more that you IT director want to jump blindly head-long into something that will becoma an unsuportable monster.

  18. Indeed. on Is There Still Racism in IT Hiring Practices? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Age tends to be an issue because to older you get, the less bullshit you are inclined to put up with from employers for shit wages. Human Resources knows this, and so they go for the young and hungery employee who doesn't have many obligations beyond party money.

    Perhaps I should stop mentioning I was at Woodstock I during my job interviews.

    Maybe you should have done your interview someplace else?

  20. Re:Lame. Very, very lame. on MySQL on Windows - Good Idea? · · Score: 1
    My beef is with websites (forums, image boards) that grovel before the altar of MySQL only to have their site completely hosed for a good hour or two every day because of some error or another. When HTML bugs up, it doesn't also take out every other server in a 40-foot radius with it.

    I don't see that. At least every day. I dom see a lot of MS SQL errors on a fairly regular basis... Maybe it's not MySQL, maybe it's the shitty web app that uses MySQL? Most smaller web sites are not coded by the smartest people in the world...

    Lame. Very, very lame. A lame joke based on out-dated and irrelevant issues long since addressed, many of which are not unique to MySQL. Funny thing, when examples of MySQL implementations by major players in heavy load environments is brought up, the cliché wielding nay-sayers become strangely quiet.

Sat radio will follow the same route because in the end, it is a revenue stream for profit seeking corporations, not some utopian media experiment...
