  1. Almost perfect but the keyboard is off center on Lenovo ThinkPad W550s: Heavy, But a Battery That Lasts Nearly All Day · · Score: 2

    I'm glad they fixed many of the issues with the previous keyboard.

    Would have been the perfect new laptop, if they had centered the keyboard.

  2. Wasn't her car on Miss a Payment? Your Car Stops Running · · Score: 1

    If you're making payments, it's not

    • your

    car.

  3. Instead of posting an article on Ask Slashdot: SIM-Card Solutions In North America? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Instead of posting an article with your question, go read a wiki page.

    Lay all the blame on is the dead guy who can't be punished.

  5. Just jerking off on NASA Developing Robotic Satellite Refueling System · · Score: 1

    NASA has no heavy lift rockets
    NASA has no remotely feasible plans for heavy lift rockets.

    This isn't a real plan, this is just NASA jerking off.

  6. Changing jobs every year? on Ask Slashdot: Re-Learning How To Interview As a Developer? · · Score: 1

    If you're changing jobs every year, then the problem probably isn't with your interviewing skills.

  7. Yum! on The Mammoth Cometh: Revive & Restore Tackles De-Extinction · · Score: 1, Funny

    Since the indians ate all the best tasting animals first, these are probably really good!

  8. There's another name for this. on Texas Drivers Stopped At Roadblock, Asked For Saliva, Blood · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't this called kidnapping?

  10. Don't be good... on Google To Encrypt Cloud Storage Data By Default · · Score: 1

    I don't see how anybody could trust them at this point.

  11. If your company gives severance on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    If your company has a policy of giving at least two weeks severance when they lay people off, then you should give two weeks notice.

    If they give less than that, then they don't deserve notice, but you might want to consider giving it anyway.

    When you hear stories of people being escorted out instantly when they give notice, they're usually still getting paid for the two weeks notice they gave.

  12. easy answer on DNI Office Asks Why People Trust Facebook More Than the Government · · Score: 1

    Facebook hasn't murdered anyone.

  13. Some people like SF on How Silicon Valley's Tech Reign Will End · · Score: 2, Informative

    Some people like San Francisco.

    Others find it to be a crowded dirty place that smells like urine.

  14. goto 1 on Immigration Bill Passes the Senate, Includes More H-1B Visas · · Score: 1

    1. "Oh no, salaries in technical fields are not high enough to attract enough people to major in them"

    2. "Lets import lots of people from outside the country to lower wages of workers in technical fields"

    3. goto 1

  15. Closed source companies gave money to Obama on The IRS vs. Open Source · · Score: 1

    So is it really any surprise that open source groups would get "extra scrutiny" from the IRS?

  16. DUH on Microsoft Reads Your Skype Chat Messages · · Score: 1

    Of course they do this.
    Every online chat service reads your messages.

  17. suckers on Geeks On a Plane Proposed To Solve Global Tech Skills Crisis · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They'll be great at brainstorming innovative ways of suckering gullible investors out of money, not sure what else "Silicon Valley CEOs, thinkers and venture capitalists" can do though.

  18. When will CNN acknowledge responsibility? on Video Game Industry Starting To Feel Heat On Gun Massacres · · Score: 1

    Some people will commit atrocities for fame and attention.
    CNN gives fame and attention to people who commit atrocities.

  19. Re:Study should be done outside its influence on TSA (Finally) Studying Health Effects of Body Scanners · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Then, in the span of about 5 years, these scanners will have caused cancer in a greater number of people than the number of people killed by terrorists on 9/11/2001?

  20. Terrible keyboard layout on The ThinkPad Goes Ultrabook — ThinkPad X1 Carbon Tested · · Score: 0

    They changed the keyboard layout.
    It's terrible now, they moved page up/page down to the bottom right, and messed up the others that go in the top right corner.

    For a laptop who's main appeal is the keyboard, I don't understand why they changed it into something worse.

    If you can't handle basic algebra, you're not really getting an education.

  23. Simple math on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Manage Your Personal Data? · · Score: 1

    A 2TB drive is something like $120.
    Is protecting your data worth more to you than $120?

    If yes, buy another drive. If not, erase a bunch of junk you've accumulated.

  24. cat /dev/urandom /dev/hda on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    cat /dev/urandom > /dev/hda
    is enough.

  25. Why permission from the Doctors? on 100,000 Californians To Be Gene Sequenced · · Score: 1

    Why in the world would you think they should have permission from the patients doctor, and not from the patients themselves?
