    I'll bet they'll teach advanced shelf stacking techniques, door greeting, making do on low pay, turning your back on further education. etc. Walmart/Walton Foundation is NOT a charitable institution. Everything they do is profit through exploitation.

  4. Only a matter of time before.... on Amputee Has Prosthetic Hand Wired To Nerves · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You can download sensory information to be replayed to your sensory nervous system. I for one will welcome that, and the inevitable uses the porn industry come up with.

  5. Re:Perspective on Britain's GCHQ Attacked Anonymous Supporters With DDoS · · Score: 1

    "Yes, you are an exception to the rule if you work for the government."

    You have accepted your role as a cog. An unthinking unit of work and obedience to be monitored and vihttp://yro.slashdot.org/story/14/02/05/1318223/britains-gchq-attacked-anonymous-supporters-with-ddos#ewed with suspicion. But what is most worrying is that you did it without so much as a whimper.

    Yes but my computer doesn't cost 10 of millions of dollars and "claim to have changed the world".

  7. Waste of resources on Can Wolfram Alpha Tell Which Team Will Win the Super Bowl? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why use these resource to try and predict the outcome of a spendex catchball game. A game that only exists to sell XXXXL clothes and hotdogs to fat wheezing pudding pops.

    If its really that good use it to predict terrorism, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or whatever using the relevant data sets.

  8. Well how wrong can they be? on Can Wolfram Alpha Tell Which Team Will Win the Super Bowl? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Try asking them that question at the start of the season and I'll be impressed if they get it right.

  9. ~# sh gridl0ck -horns -flashinglights -lockdoors on EU Secretly Plans To Put a Back Door In Every Car By 2020 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    At least the inevitable war-driving hacks for this will put IT security center stage and not the usual 30 second slot in the late evening news.

  10. This will never be hacked by carjackers on EU Secretly Plans To Put a Back Door In Every Car By 2020 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Good to know that the security will be impervious to attack. and that police will never make a mistake when using it.

    Seriously though Germany (which runs the EU) is reverting back to its Nazi roots with every piece of privacy busting legislation.

  11. when is it illegal for journalists? on Quentin Tarantino Vs. Gawker: When Is Linking Illegal For Journalists? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    when it's illegal for everyone else. presumably. there is no special law for journalists. very few journalists kicked up a fuss when Joe public was losing his house because hr linked to copyrighted material. but now that one of their own is in the firing line its a big deal? fuck journalists. where were they when the content mafia took over the nation?

    in the 1920s in rural USA when it was being connected to the power grid. "He took r jobs!!!!".
    When society no longer values your skillset, its time to upskill of GTFO.

    The protesting slime seem to think they have a god given right to be where they are.

  14. Those canucks are really pissing me off now on Canadian Music Industry Calls For Internet Regulation, Website Blocking · · Score: 1

    As broken as Americas copyright law is, Canada seems to be engaging their retard-afterburners and are really going for it.

  15. Burn after reading? on TrueCrypt Master Key Extraction and Volume Identification · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't people burn memory blocks any more? This is sensitive data handling 101.

  16. Typical Slashdot whiners on UK Company Successfully Claims Ownership of "Pinterest" Trademark · · Score: -1

    Whining yanks. That is the law in Europe. Want to do business there? Then learn the fucking laws.

    If the situation was reversed, the European CEO would probably be waterboarded in the US.

    Most of you are just typical whining slashdot hypocrites.

  17. His argument is false on Former Head of NSA Calls For Obama To Reject NSA Commission Recommendations · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He argues that it is legal because it is useful. Using that logic, I should be allowed use claymore mines to protect my property from intruders. Indiscriminate, illegal but probably effective. He should remember, if you subvert the constitution, you corrode the very fabric of the nation. We're becoming just another regime.

  18. Edward Snowden is a god damned TRAITOR on USA Today Names Edward Snowden Tech Person of the Year · · Score: -1, Troll

    To all you idiots out there, if you've got nothing to hid then you have nothing to fear. Edward Snowden is a big a danger to the US today as the Soviet Union was 4 years ago. He should be executed without trial.

  19. An utter disgrace. Should be a full apology on Alan Turing Pardoned · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is a travesty. The charges and conviction still stand. Conviction should be quashed and a full "royal" apology from the inbred German layabouts in Buckingham palace.

    The character assassination of Snowden begins.

  22. Re:You can't have your cake and eat it too.... on Bitcoin Token Maker Suspends Operation After Hearing From Federal Gov't · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why does it automatically follow that the exchange of trust, which is what currency essentially is, between willing participants must involve some self appointed middle man with the power of veto?


    Bitcoin users are not against regulation per se, but the regulators must be able to explain why they should have that power.

  23. Easy solution on Bitcoin Token Maker Suspends Operation After Hearing From Federal Gov't · · Score: 0, Troll

    Just move your business to a free country.

  24. Normandy? Why not Pearl Harbor? Or Hiroshima? on Nokia Still Experimenting With Android Smartphone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Give that Nokia is an empty husk of a company whose only real asset is hundreds of patents. They are a giant of a patent troll in the making. This Android story is designed to make them look like innovators in front of the EU and other critics and watchdogs.
