  1. Re:Unemployment? on Large Corporations Displacing Aging IT Workers With H-1B Visa Workers · · Score: 1

    But the guy paying the lobbyist to make it not that way is protecting his 1/4 point increase in profit. Think of the boat!

  2. Re:Cost to much to be old on Large Corporations Displacing Aging IT Workers With H-1B Visa Workers · · Score: 2

    Because you are paying for experience. They don't want your experience or your know-better. They want to tell you what to do and if you don't get it done, we'll just get more, because hey, we can employ 10 of these guys instead of this old Joe. There has to be SOME good fruit in that pile of compost!

  3. Re:"Shortage" on Large Corporations Displacing Aging IT Workers With H-1B Visa Workers · · Score: 2

    As someone who worked with H-1B visa folks, they aren't any better than a competent programmer, except they bet their career to fill a current niche. Anyone with a brain can easily pick up this stuff. This is what we do.

    Not in Windows

  5. Re:Underlying structure versus pretty pictures. on Why Hasn't 3D Taken Off For the Web? · · Score: 1

    How is the porn industry struggling? There will never be a possibility that there won't be people willing to make porn... in multitudes. As a consumer, that seems pretty successful to me

  6. Re:users? on NetBSD To Support Kernel Development In Lua Scripting · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It seems crazy, but this may not be as braindead as it seems. For instance, a keyboard driver. You just need a read key state->have a look up table to the keycodes function, then pass it on. This is redundant, few lines of code with very little difference between most other drivers. You may not want to write your graphic drivers in it, but not every driver needs bare metal functionality

  7. Re:how cares about meteorites? on Residents Report Bright Streak Over Bay Area Friday Evening · · Score: 1

    Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you

  8. Re:!(Prisoner's Dilemma) on French Police Unsure Which Twin To Charge In Sexual Assaults · · Score: 3, Informative

    This isn't reddit. There is no karma train

  9. Re:fuck you iceland. on Iceland Considers Internet Porn Ban · · Score: 1

    The point being exactly that f=ma is overgeneralizing, the same as my reply was overstating the obvious. You are ignoring outside forces

  10. Re:fuck you iceland. on Iceland Considers Internet Porn Ban · · Score: 0

    f=ma only in a vacuum with no other gravitational entity in play in the universe. Entropy and free will live on

  13. Re:See ya, Slashdot. on Reasons You're Not Getting Interviews; Plus Some Crazy Real Resume Mistakes · · Score: 1

    I'm going to look into this, however, if Slashdot now deletes comments, I'm gone. No rhetorical about it

  14. Re:just use virtual machines on Retail Copies of Office 2013 Are Tied To a Single Computer Forever · · Score: 0

    (b) No "activation" or other bullshit required, which means I can easily transfer it to another computer when needed

    So you pirated it. Just say so. No need to be ambiguous.

  15. Re:Publishers still force Punkbuster on customers? on Punkbuster Service Goes Down, Hundreds of Online Game Servers Affected · · Score: 0

    TSQL expertise is like a day of reading a book

  16. How about... on Should Techies Trump All Others In Immigration Reform? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How about no STEM visas for anyone? Instead, throw the effort at growing these folks at home

  17. Revoke the keys, issue new ones on Bit9 Hacked, Stolen Certs Used To Sign Malware · · Score: 3, Informative

    Revoke the keys, issue new ones, and contact all of your clients on how to update. Check and mate.

    Fuck you too, buddy. Now make me a sandwich

  19. Windows XP on Rich Countries Suffer Less Malware, Says Microsoft Study · · Score: 1

    People tend to pirate Windows XP because it is much easier than Windows Vista/7/8 and they probably are running DELL P4 machines thrown to the curb by reasonable people

  20. Re:Oh Give Me a Break on Economists Argue Patent System Should Be Abolished · · Score: 1

    Not to mention, you just opened a floodgate straight to hell in terms of crime. Each company would need to employ bigger sleazes and craftier spies than their competition to be able to stay on top. You start having corporate sponsored mobs

  21. Re:Instead of the FUD... on Microsoft Surface Pro Reviews Arrive · · Score: 0, Redundant

    40C degrees (or 104F) is colder than your bath water

  22. Re:It's not Linux, it's the tablets and smartphone on Microsoft May Be Seeking Protection From Linux With Dell Loan · · Score: 1

    Windows never made any serious inroads into the server market until IIS matured, and Active Directory made Servers a little more bearable

    Wat. So you are telling me that Windows had no server success before Windows 2000? Your green is showing

  23. How can a whole class evolve of animal evolve to another class so completely (reptile->bird)? What could have to changed in their DNA/lifestyle that would cause something so drastic?

  24. How do you do it when dreaming? on Designing a Practical UI For a Gesture-Based Interface · · Score: 1

    I would imagine the most intuitive interface is what you do to move objects when dreaming. For instance when I want to pull an object toward me, I focus on it, then tug an invisible rope quickly as to whip it back. I also push my hand outward holding my palm out as to say "stop" to push it away. Somewhere in our heads we already know what will work

  25. The point of assert is to set a breakpoint to go to during unit testing
