  1. Re:radioshack? on Raspberry Pi Unveils New $5 Mini-computer · · Score: 1

    Sorry, this is a completely incorrect use of the term "minicomputer". The '80s are here, and are willing and able to slap you back to the '60s.

  2. Well, it's not like there is some kind of magical tool that can recursively scan all the files within a directory, and change one string to another one wherever it is found.

    Hey, someone should totally code that up. I bet it would be very useful.

  3. Re:If it's really a policy on Richard Dawkins Opposes UK Cinemas Censoring Church's Advert Before Star Wars (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    so what? Christianity exists only because of somebody named Jesus. Islam...Mohammed (sp?)

    Is it not really a religion because it got started from a movie, so people don't really believe, because it's made up?

  4. what the fuck on Why Car Salesmen Don't Want To Sell Electric Cars · · Score: 1

    "What are you doing to make selling electric cars as profitable and painless for your dealers as selling gasoline or diesel vehicles?"

    It sounds like whomever wrote the summary is basically requesting that the electric car makers should make crappier cars, so they need more repairs, so people will go back to the dealer to get them fixed.

    That sounds like a great plan.

    I see samzenpus is still working hard to make the world a little worse, every single day.

  5. Re:Very good on Scientists Produce Graphene 100 Times Cheaper Than Ever Before (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    now it's only $1,000,000,000,000/gram. practically free.

    As long as it's not me.

  7. Re:Websites will block EE ip ranges on UK Mobile Operator Could Block Ads At Network Level (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    No, this is about getting a cut of the action. These are MY customers. If you want your ads to show up on MY customers devices, you will have to pay me $x/impression.

  8. Re:Sue / fine the IT services contractors on Disney IT Workers Prepare To Sue Over Foreign Replacements (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Forever? Just like now.

    Seriously, most people are stupid and just vote 'R' or 'D', they probably don't even know the actual individual they are voting for, just that the person belongs to the "correct" party.

    I am more likely to be raptured than for a member of congress or the senate to lose their seat on this issue.

    The man with a endless supply of KKK membership forms.

  10. Re:One third of their time? on CIOs Spend a Third of Their Time On Security (enterprisersproject.com) · · Score: 1

    Wrong security. It's on dealing with security guards, creating plans for escorting people to the exits, while hiring H1Bs and/or people overseas, as well as physical building security, and personal security for executives, because sometimes the riff-raff get uppity.

  11. Re:And people on slashdot give a shit, why? on Zuckerberg To Take 2 Months Paternity Leave To Give His Kid a Better Outcome (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, it is in writing. But can they actually take the time off. A ridiculous number of people can't even take their vacation time because of the fear they will be asked to stop bothering to come into the office.

    And they won't say "we're letting you go because you took vacation time", because would be illegal, just something like "we want to move in a different direction, one without you on our team."

  12. But the person agreeing to it is a screenwriter....definitely not rational.

    So, Bobby Tables will have his name tattooed on his face...

  14. Re:This makes me want to run out and get a Blackbe on Blackberry Offers 'Lawful Device Interception Capabilities' (itnews.com.au) · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is....now BB's biggest customers are governments. So this should put the final nail in the coffin for them, as governments would definitely not want a backdoor in their devices...

  15. Re:Somebody else said this... on Comcast Xfinity Wi-Fi Discloses Customer Names and Addresses (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    What would you do? Press them into Comcast's chest with your hand? Stomp them in [actually that's a great idea]?

  16. Re:This is not something to commemorate. on Happy 30th Birthday, Windows! · · Score: 1

    Yes, nevermind that anti-competitive period back in the 80's, it probably didn't do much to solidify Windows as the only commercially viable OS.

    And it likely is also the most cursed at OS, and has caused the physical destruction of the most keyboards, mice and monitors of any OS.

  17. Re:Unbelievable on Donald Trump Obliquely Backs a Federal Database To Track Muslims · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But they look kinda similar to people we don't like. And the people we don't like also claim to belong to the same religion as these people.

    Why wouldn't we round them all up, catalog them, maybe we could tattoo an id number on their arm [or forehead!], and then make them all live in the middle of nowhere, far away from us. And then once the threat is over [ie, the war on terror has been won], they can resume their place in society. Of course, they will have to start from scratch, because any property they owned will have been confiscated/sold to real Americans.

  18. Re:How is it a problem? on You Can Look Forward To 8 More Years of Leap Second Problems (cio.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm not particularly coordinated, and I leapt at the wrong time. So now all my clocks are off and there is nothing I can do about it until next year. I've started training to do better.

    Yes, we are talking about the difference between "English" and "American"

  20. Re:great timing... on Citrix Spinning Off GoTo Collaboration Business, Laying Off 1,000 People (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    And would you mind training these people? And then, to receive your severance cheque, would you also sign this document stating you will be available anytime in the next 2 years to aid with any problems they might have?

    Thanks, we really appreciate your assistance in this difficult time.

  21. samzenpus is desperate to get in contact with you, but you are refusing his advances. He knew you would fall for his stupid editing errors.

  22. Everybody loves getting to spend extra time with the family during the Christmas holidays. And January is always a great time to start looking for a new job.

    Any bets on what percentage of their yearly salary the top ten executives at Citrix will get for coming up with this idea of 'realignment of resources'? Over or under 100%?

    Instead of 'war on terror', it could be 'Create a dialog with America's enemies', with the 'dialog' being a handful of bullets or a smartbomb.
