  1. The real reason on Massachusetts Boarding School Sued Over Wi-Fi Sickness · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You precious snowflake is sick because you put him on a strick vegan diet.

  2. Fine vs profit? on FCC Fines Smart City $750K For Blocking Wi-Fi · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If the fine isn't substantially more than the profit they made from blocking wifi, there is no incentive to stop the practice. The fine will be just another cost of doing business.

  3. Re:I love my sysadmin on System Administrator Appreciation Day 2015 · · Score: 1

    Hire me. I have tons of experience as a senior linux system administrator and I'm feeling under-appreciated in my office.

  4. This is believable on Woman Recruited By Google Four Times and Rejected Now Joins Age Discrimination Suit · · Score: 1

    It's not just google. Age-ism in Silicon Valley is institutionalized.

  5. Because FIFA paid the LOSERS in men's soccer more than they paid the winners in women's soccer.

  6. Re:American Citizen on Citizenfour Director Sues To Find Out Why She Was Detained Every Time She Flew · · Score: 1

    Just because the Federal government is denied the power over where you poop, it doesn't deny your state or local government that power.

  7. Re: Maybe... on Citizenfour Director Sues To Find Out Why She Was Detained Every Time She Flew · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not, it's not easy. De-authorizing usually involves guns and a whole lot of people dying.

  8. Re:You are wrong on the U.S. Constitutional breadt on Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy' · · Score: 1

    Since it's a discussion about a presidential candidate suggesting she will regulate uber, the Federal Constitution is what matters. So basically HRC is saying she wants to violate the Constitution.

  9. Re:Piece work on Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy' · · Score: 1

    Only if it's interstate commerce.

  10. Re:Economic Rapist on Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy' · · Score: 1

    The tax on every gallon of fuel I purchase is supposed to pay for the roads. Somehow the majority of that money gets funneled to other things and the roads still have pot holes. Since the tax money isn't being spent for its intended purpose, why pay the tax?

  11. Re:Not seeing the problem on Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy' · · Score: 1

    The cities that have overly strict medallion systems also have a history of corruption. Coincidence? I think not.

  12. Re:Government knows best... on Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy' · · Score: 1

    Most libertarians aren't actually followers of Ayn Rand. She was a shitty writer and her books only used bits and pieces of libertarianism, usually incorrectly.

  13. Re:Free? Who said anything about free? on Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy' · · Score: 1

    Milk is price controlled by the Federal government. It should actually be cheaper.

  14. Re: Good point, but Uber is a bad example on Hillary Clinton Takes Aim At 'Gig Economy' · · Score: 1

    A star trek economy only works when you have "anything on demand" (replicators). Money becomes obsolete when there is no need to buy anything. Automation and no money would put all the power into very few hands. Basically, communism take to an unimaginable extreme. That isn't a good thing.

  15. Re:Arrests and guilt on Japanese Court Orders Google To Delete Past Reports Of Man's Molestation Arrest · · Score: 1

    I should add that a judge can extend the length someone can be held without charge and they almost always do. All together, you can be held in isolation for up to 23 days without being charged.

  16. Re:Arrests and guilt on Japanese Court Orders Google To Delete Past Reports Of Man's Molestation Arrest · · Score: 1

    There's also a history of the police coercing confessions. They can also keep people locked up for quite a while (10 days) with no contact with family and without charges.

  17. Re:What was the command? on How IKEA Patched Shellshock · · Score: 1

    We're currently evaluating Ansible. I expect us to make the switch permanently as part of our move to docker containers. Currently, our puppet manifests are unwieldy and a biatch to maintain.

  18. And for some reason, they don't like to tell you the salary up front. I made it a practice to refuse to follow up if I don't know the potential salary. I made the policy after wasting my time in interviews only to discover the companies were run by tight-wads who were offering far below the industry standard (which explained why they were hiring).

  19. Re:I can see this running afoul of.... on California Senate Approves School Vaccine Bill · · Score: 1

    If your "religion" demanded that you fire a machine gun into the air for 5 minutes a day, you'd find very little tolerance for it.

    Why do you hate Islam?

  20. Re:Snowden... on House Votes To End Spy Agencies' Bulk Collection of Phone Data · · Score: 2

    Not likely. Obama doesn't have the balls. Nor does he have the desire.

  21. Re:It was an app on a personal Phone! on Worker Fired For Disabling GPS App That Tracked Her 24 Hours a Day · · Score: 2

    They basically lied to her about the function of the app by not telling her that they would be tracking her every move 24/7. When she discovered she was being tracked all the time and her creepy boss was making creepy stalker-like comments about her, she complained, then removed the app. The company would be very smart to settle out of court.

  22. Re:Privacy? on Worker Fired For Disabling GPS App That Tracked Her 24 Hours a Day · · Score: 3, Informative

    Law enforcement isn't all that dangerous of a job. In fact, it doesn't make the top 10.

  23. Re:This move is rational for a public company on Disney Replaces Longtime IT Staff With H-1B Workers · · Score: 1

    It is illegal to hire an H1-B worker if the position can be filled by a legal resident/citizen. You've just admitted that you break the law. So fuck you. Yes, you are evil management. I hope you lose your job, your pension, and your wife fucks the poolboy.

  24. It's time to fight back on Disney Replaces Longtime IT Staff With H-1B Workers · · Score: 1

    I'm starting to think the only way to stop these companies from wholesale firing so they can replace everyone with cheap H1-B workers is to make them targets for massive cyber attacks. Not that I can do that. It's not my skillset. But if it ever does happen, I'm going to sit back with a big bag of popcorn and laugh my ass off.

  25. Re:Integrity much? on Interviews: Ask Fark Founder Drew Curtis a Question · · Score: 1

    Yup. Fark is getting less fun ever day because Drew sold out. The very reason we go to fark is for the outrage and silliness. But all too often a moderator obviously born a Puritan steps in and ruins the fun.

    Also, their moderators are idiots. When I called out someone who said something extremely racist and offensive, I got a 24 hour ban. When I complained the fucking moron of a moderator insisted the statement I referred to wasn't racist. Yes it was. It was extremely offensive to Filipino women. I know, because I asked my Filipino niece. Fark either needs to get moderators who aren't racist morons.
