  1. Broken Internet is Mismanaged on The Man Who Owns the Internet · · Score: 1

    The Internet is fundamentally broken because it is 99.9% dead link, parked pages. Whoever was in charge of the DNS naming system should be jailed for mismanagement.
     
    Intead of intelligent searching like a google or yahoo, the DNS domain names are the search links. That is very bad design.
     
    Probably some bonehead MBA screwed that up. Their should be a 'managed' domain extension with me in charge. I would immediately cancel all dead links and cancel all 'goto' rerouting. Whoever wanted domain name that is currently an undeveloped dead sales link, it would be transfered for no more than $5. Otherwise the current method is search DECEPTION big time.
     
    Also a gazillion of domain names now exist on Spam lists so they are essentially useless, but the buyer does not know this. And that is false advertizing. There definately need to be some major lawsuits to clean up the mismanagement.
     
    There are no free markets, only managed markets, so why not properly manage the internet domain names?

  4. HYPOCRITE !!! on Does Wikipedia Suck on Science Stories? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The author should take his own advice. He begrudges that experts do not write clear enough for the non-expert layperson. Then he hypocritically uses narrow coding lingo like 'fork' and 'oyster fork', when more broad English would be better.

    The problem with much of the internet it is still the domain of software nerds who really need to broaden their knowledge horizons. Until software evolves as simple as editing MS word or scribbling on a pad, it's not yet mainstream. And mainstream news journalists still prefer flashy websites over content.
     
    The author though is a hypocrite. He needs writing lessons to organize thoughts away from 'shop talk' and more mainstream. HYPOCRITE!

  5. Re:Science succeeds based on colaboration and shar on Privatization Limiting Access To Information · · Score: 1

    B.S. Eli Witney died a poor pauper because he colaborated and patented his invention. He should have kept it secret. He didn't and his competition destroyed his business.

    Only common ideas are public but original stuff you got to shut about. Like Coca Cola's secret recipe of ingredients. Publish secrets, sell out the farm.

  6. Re:Prius is Clean, not just Efficient on Hybrid Cars No Better than 'Intelligent' Cars · · Score: 1

    MPG matters properly because that hits the wallet.

    Nuclear secrets are NOT public access to any scientists. Los Alamos are the traitors who through Clinton, gave your nuclear secrets over to your enemy.

    Los Alamos 'scientists' should all be hung together.

  8. Re:Can't we use both? on Hybrid Cars No Better than 'Intelligent' Cars · · Score: 1

    Cannot use both because they are parallel technologies. Using one negates the other.

    Can't get something for nothing. They both just avoid burning gas during deceleration.

  9. The State will Punish Gas Saving Methods on Hybrid Cars No Better than 'Intelligent' Cars · · Score: 1

    I have tested with a mileage meter. 25% better mileage when coasting to stop lights.

    High RPM, fast acceleration also save gas because it is the cyclical speed up and coast down that gets 25% improved mileage.

    As usual, the drawback is the State. Some cop is more likely to give you a ticket if you speed up slow down to save mileage. Every good mileage trick, the State will jump in and prevent you. Like not raising auto insurance rates for 2 vehicles over 1. One high mileage commuter eg motorcycle and a separate vacation guzzler truck.

    Nope the State will tax and punish good behavior.

  10. Re:Viewpiont from India on IBM to Lay Off Half of Global Services Division · · Score: 1

    "And it takes a great deal of intelligence to absorb the workings of such code and modify it without breaking it. Not many people have that ability to handle it."
     
    Absolutely not. You just do not know the trade secrets.
    In every industry there are 2 or 3 key secrets that few people know. That is why productivity can often be 100 times different between programmers. That is correct, 2 to 100 times more productive.
    In one paragraph, I could increase your productivity 10 times based upon your comments about legacy code. But I won't. Nothing personal, just business. Let your bosses and India bosses suffer.
     
    This is raw competition. Team player is only for the current job. That group think, team player stuff is socialist, feel good nonsense.
     
    Your current MBA boss is oblivious anyway. At least, until he himself loses his job. This is brutal, survival of the fittest, competition! lol. Competition is war. Suffer.

  11. Best Fuel Efficiency - Saving 25% on Selling Homeowners a Solar Dream · · Score: 1

    Accelerate then Coast is by far the best car fuel efficiency. It is at least 25% better economy. City driving betters 20 mpg to 25 mpg. Highway 30 plus.

    Ideal driving with 50% per gas mileage is on a loney road speeding to 65 miles/hr then coasting to 20 miles/hr and then repeat. And accelerating quicker the better.

    If you drive to 45 miles/hr then coast back to 25 or 30 miles/hr you are guarenteed 25% gas savings. I tested it!!

  13. Economic Illiteracy on Apple Pulls Out of India · · Score: 1

    Slashdot illiteracy

    It is not wage rates that create unstable outsourced jobs in the 'global' economy. Your corrupt Central Bank aka Fed Reserve, is a huge USA job killing machine.

    FEDERAL RESERVE JOB TERMINATOR
    That is what the Federal Reserve does. It kills jobs. That's all it does. ...in the classic words of the Terminator.

  14. Software Dictatorship on Adobe Threatens Microsoft With Suit · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Software is a dictatorship eg Microsoft. Other businesses are more fairly partnerships eg law partnerships, real estate partnerships, medical etc.

    It is because techies have such poor social skills. They talk of libertarian ideals but in reality are mostly doormats who feel safer with a monolithic dictator. Nerds sadly trade proper ownership for the false substitute of being controlled by surrogate big daddy.

    Adobe software is fighting a losing battle in a totalitarian industry where the tech worker attitude enables tyranny.

  15. Re:Of Course on Crashing the Wiretapper's Ball · · Score: 0

    Wrong again. You still do not understand. But I don't debate anonymous commentors. I'll leave with a hint though. There is a confusion between the terms consent, approval, hidden & awareness.

    Final quotation that it is ALWAYS legal - "It is always legal to tape or film a face-to-face interview when your recorder or camera is in plain view. The consent of all parties is presumed in these instances."

    DECLINE of ENGINEERING

    In year 1913, Central socialized banking moved the USA from Freedom to Facism. This brought the destruction of the US currency dollar. Engineering cannot survive and cannot compete under destroyed currency.

    It prospered through 2 world wars because world competition was destroyed. Without more world wars, unlikely in the nuclear age, Engineering and manufacturing currently are outsourced and offshored because the US dollar is trash.

    Due to Federal Reserve corruption of the money supply, many 'Engineers' are now hamburger flippers or real estate or insurance salesmen.

    ENGINEERING is a LIFE of POVERTY

  23. Republican WAR on IT on Starting an Education in IT? · · Score: 0

    REPUBLICAN WAR on IT Republican Party has declared War on IT. Do not walk away, rather run away from IT. Republicans have selectively targeted IT & Computer Science for massive immigration foriegner visas. Proof? Google h1-b visa database. Funny how Medical Doctors are not targeted even though it would lower the high cost of medical care. Nursing industry is also targeted. IT and Nursing have a bulleye from the Rebublican party. Managed markets are not free markets. Run away from IT and do not look back. :)

  24. CS programmers have EE hole in the background. on Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Well I have BOTH a formal degree in EE and CS. I have noticed that CS folks should NOT be performing some programming tasks that are better left to an EE. However, EEs generally suck at CS. That is the dilemma.
    A prime example are the many sloppy internet protocols, eg FTP et al, written with poor Enginnering knowledge. Now we are stuck with the garbage code.

    Biggest point is: CS programmers horribly suck writing 'performanced' based code. It is because of the HOLE in their CS background, no EE degree to fill the 'performance' hole. Sorry, awareness sucks don't it. lol

    FALLACY: The biggest fallacy about Computer software is that it is still a legitimate occupation.

    I have a Software Engineering degree, 4.0 GPA, and it is a worthless rag.

    FACT: The fact of Software Engineering is that it is a horrible, worthless career due to:
    • INsourcing mass foreigners, H1B visas, just HORRIBLE!
    • OUTsourcing tech jobs, TERRIBLE!
    1) GOTO Massive Foreigners
    2) CLICK ON Advanced Search button
    3) SELECT your State and Company
    4) CRY when you see the massive number of foreigners who have replaced your job!

    Remember, you can NOT compete with mass foreigners & H1B visas. Why? Because you both follow a different set of laws. Foreigners have enormous legal advantage over you. Sucks huh! There is NO legitimate career future in Software Engineering or Computer Science.
    The corporate outlaws have won the battle. *sigh*
