  1. Re:Except they didn't. on Disney IT Workers, In Lawsuit, Claim Discrimination Against Americans (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Assumes a fact no in evidence...that there is anyone in Congress or the Senate that is at all interested in actually ensuring that the H1B program is not abused.

  2. "Can I get a bag for it anyway?"

  3. Yay, we're going to join the EU! huzzah!

  5. Re:I read something else on Why Did Japan Just Ratify The TPP? (businesstimes.com.sg) · · Score: 2

    Persuad Trump? He's flip-flopped on all kinds of stuff already, and it's not like suddenly people started telling him "No, that is a stupid idea because of A B and C". And since he's got significant assets in IP, it would not surprise me at all for him to try to push TPP through.

    He's also the first person to call out "Booorrrrriiiiiiinnnnnnnggggg" during the President’s Daily Security Briefing.

  6. Re:Chip Implant & Plastic Handcuffs on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best Geeky Gift For Children? · · Score: 1

    Even better, take out a loan in their name. Then they get the experience of how to deal with debt when having no prospect of getting a job.

    Nobody cares what happens in Australia.

  8. Re:"Feel forced?" on Uber Is Treating Its Drivers As Sweated Labor, Says Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    For those places, Uber will charge 10x what a taxi costs in a big city, but still pay the drivers jack.

  9. More like Twitter wants to get paid directly. No discount for the cops.

  10. Re:The human fund on Alphabet Donated Its Employees' Holiday Gifts To Charity (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Google will graciously accept the tax deduction, for having come up with the idea.

  11. Re:503! The site has been hacked! on PowerShell Security Threats Greater Than Ever, Researchers Warn (computerweekly.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just run this PowerShell script via pastebin that will solve your problem: http://pastebin.com/QCnQGWLn

  12. Re:So the next botnet will be Audi cars on Audi Cars Now Talk To Stop Lights In Vegas (ieee.org) · · Score: 2

    v2 will have an off switch, after someone reverse-engineers the protocol, builds an Arduino box that supports the protocol, and then puts it on a street corner, and randomly decides when to tell the car the light is green.

    You know there will be drivers that mindlessly punch the gas when the counter goes to zero.

  13. Re:1 BILLION! on YouTube Pays Music Industry $1 Billion From Ads (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If Google gave the music and video industry every penny in revenue Google received every year, it still would not be enough for them. There's always more coke and whores to buy.

    There also is a 10% chance you will be showed in molten lithium when the battery explodes.

  15. Well, it can affect their mental health if they send a nude pic to their boy/girlfriend, and that person decides to post it to facebook or twitter or forward it to a bunch of their friends at school...

  16. Evidently, no. That's what you would assume something known as "ride-sharing" would mean, but neither Uber or any other so-called ride-sharing company thinks so. They ALL are a taxi-service over the internet, but don't want to follow any of the taxi regulations.

    I think one of the companies actually did finally roll out a sub-service that actually is ride-sharing, it was basically car-pooling organized over the internet.

  17. Re:Yes. No. Maybe. on Will Trump Protect America's IT Workers From H-1B Visa Abuses? (cio.com.au) · · Score: 1

    But foreign gov'ts are ALREADY handing Trump bribes, openly. They are renting out groups of rooms in Trump's hotel to gain access to him.

    Yay. You got rid of "pay for access" Hillary, where you could pay the Clinton's foundation to get connected to the State Department. It's so much better now that we've fixed that problem. Now you can hand Trump cash to gain direct access to the President.

    It's pretty clear that Trump's slogan "Drain the Swamp" doesn't mean what most people think, that Trump wants the swamp to disappear, but rather, that the swamp gets bigger and better and that he's the only one in it.

  25. Re:Security that the USER cannot control. . . on Microsoft Says Windows 10 Version 1607 is The Most Secure Windows Ever (thurrott.com) · · Score: 2

    The important part of the statement is "most secure Windows ever". It's relative only to earlier versions of Windows. It doesn't mean that Windows is no longer riddled with security issues, or is not actively being exploited by zero-day hacks.
