    According to GE's liberal-artist MBA CTO it's all going to the cloud: https://slashdot.org/story/15/...

    Security won't be a problem, right?

  2. Re:More should do this on Singapore To Cut Off Public Servants From the Internet (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure all the top recruits are just thrilled about the prospect of working for your company!

  3. And they'll sell like crazy at the Best Buy Black Friday for only $5.99 (quantities limited).

  4. Re:You Can't Learn To Program In A Classroom on Four Code Bootcamps Are Now Eligible For Government Financial Aid (hackeducation.com) · · Score: 1

    You need to learn some pointers from your more politically savvy but less technically competent coworker. At the rate things are going, I can easily tell you who is going to come out ahead.

  5. Re:Broken Windows Policing on Chicago's Experiment In Predictive Policing Isn't Working (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Most HR departments in businesses want to see an -arrest- record, not -convictions-.

    [citation needed]

    Actually such a request is specifically illegal in many jurisdictions.

  6. Re:While It Sucks... on FCC Loses Court Battle To Let Cities Build their Own Broadband (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You are entirely missing the point here. Speed limits are not something that need to be set at the federal level.

  7. Re:He didn't "build" anything on Online Fame Distracts 9th-Grader Who Built That Clock Mistaken For A Bomb (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    It was a CAIR-sponsored stunt as part of the ongoing propaganda war against the West: http://universalfreepress.com/...

  8. Re:Welcome to the 3rd world on Aggressive Hackers Are Targeting Rio's Olympics (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    If their toilets can't even take down some toilet paper, how will they take down my footlong American-sized turd?

  9. Re:please consider on One Billion Monitors Vulnerable to Hijacking and Spying (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is yet another example of what happens when we keep letting hipster developers ruin the internet by stripping out useful navigation and visibility features.

  10. Re:Rules for thee, not for me on Getty Sued For $1 Billion For Selling Publicly Donated Photos (thestack.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not like anything will actually happen to them.

    Well aren't you just a delicate little snowflake...

  12. I guess he forgot about the old Microsoft motto: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. It's still alive today, albeit a bit more subtle than it used to be.

  13. The difference is that now they do these things "with an app", as if that always makes it completely novel.

  14. It's pretty frightening when you compare this to the Democrats' wish list of federal policies. So many parallels.

  15. Re:Kicking millions of Chinese out of jobs... on China Wants To Be a Top 10 Nation For Automation By Putting More Robots In Its Factories (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    That is the real reason why George Soros deliberately engineered the migrant "crisis". For control and profit.

  16. The world's industrial base will indeed be in China due to the complete lack of (enforced) environmental regulations. The First World can't compete with that.

  17. Re:Fcc rules on cable card's and owned HSI hardwar on Comcast To Offer Pay-As-You-Go TV, Broadband Service (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    CableCards don't work, deliberately. Comcast doesn't care, because they know the FCC won't do shit to them.

  18. Always been doing it on Spotify Is Now Selling Your Information To Advertisers (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I figured they were doing this all along, and just now got around to announcing it. Telemetry is how all modern web businesses make money. How else would all of these services be "free"?

  19. Re:It's not the hardware or the OS that's the issu on Army Special Operations Command Ditching Android For iPhone, Says Report (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    And the funny thing is, two years after its release, the BlackBerry Passport is still the smartest, best engineered handheld computing device on the market, bar none. Even so-called techies on Slashdot don't know jack if it's not advertised on teevee.

    Even still, nobody wants it.

    Stick a fork in Blackberry; they're done!

  20. French musicians will now strike in the streets, blocking traffic and blaring awful music in protest.

  21. Re:Unfettered capitalism on Farmers Demand Right To Fix Their Own Dang Tractors (modernfarmer.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Crony Socialism is redundant. There is always cronyism in socialism.

  22. Couldn't they just send employees from India or China, which they would likely do anyway? What's a Chinese employee going to do, say no?

  23. Re:Only one good reason to do this ... on Carrying A Gun-Shaped iPhone 'Makes It Much Less Likely You'll Catch Your Plane' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone doing this is a fucking idiot who deserves all the above plus more.

  24. Re:He is lucky he did not get shot on the spot on Carrying A Gun-Shaped iPhone 'Makes It Much Less Likely You'll Catch Your Plane' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Police should shoot to kill once it becomes clear they are dealing with a violent shithead who is intent on harming them. If someone is willing to violently attack police officers, imagine what they will do to regular civilians. Violent savages don't belong in free society.

    Save the taxpayers the cost of a trial and subsequent incarceration. Also, save future victims from being harmed by the shithead who would otherwise be early-released from prison by some liberal parole board.

  25. Good fucking riddance.
