  1. Re:Seven years for eight hours work on Novell Wins vs. SCO · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Nope, I don't work for SCO. As it happens, I work for the DoD in WA state.

    Can you prove "PJ" exists? No? Than shut the fuck up.

    Fuck PJ. She's a publicity whore no better than Darl. Shameless publicity whore. She profited in a grand way from this too-doo. Point. Of. Fact.

    And "who is PJ"? Just some Small Town Paralegal *that just happened to be interested in Linux*? - YEAH RIGHT. I got a bridge.

    Reasonable people understand that PJ works for IBM. Reasonable people understand that there is no "PJ", that IBM spun up a screen name and went to town.

  4. More Than McBride on Novell Wins vs. SCO · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Remember, It's not *just* Darl McBride, it's also the people that allowed him to do this. That includes the rest of the board and the stockholder of SCO. McBride might be the public figure-head, but he didn't do it on his own.

  5. What If on NASA Summoned To Fix Prius Problems · · Score: 0

    Yes. Toyota decided the least convoluted way of admitting to software issues...

    What makes you think these "corner events" are software related? With the scale and precision of the chips today, who knows. Electromagnetic interference? Sun spots? Something as simple as a 0 turning into a 1...

  7. Re:Why? on Battlefield Earth Screenwriter Accepts Razzie · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The problem is, attaching your name to something that you know will be a disaster is bad for your career in the long term.

    You're thinking in *normal* situations. We are talking about Hollywood here. Different rules.

    I'm honestly not sure what I would have done in that situation.

    Do you like to eat?

    My name is Mr. Piss. You can call me Frosty. Let me show you to your desk, and introduce you to the team.

  10. TripAdvisor.com on Yelp Founder Says "No Extortion — Just a Misunderstood Algorithm" · · Score: 1

    I've been pretty happy with TripAdvisor.com. They don't seem to manipulate the reviews.

  11. Re:Sham on Yelp Founder Says "No Extortion — Just a Misunderstood Algorithm" · · Score: 1

    They'll soon be swept into the dustbin of unprofitable dot-com businesses that were born out of massive venture capital and hype, but die quietly after a few years of losing money.

    You're kidding, right? Or maybe wishful thinking? Yelp has huge traffic and is quite popular. Simply a fact.

    I'm a small business owner and I don't care about Yelp.

    Than clearly you don't need any new customers.

  12. Re:Quit WHINING. on Facebook's Plan To Automatically Share Your Data · · Score: 1

    A large chunk of FB users might not know what this means and then not go through the effort of opting out...

    We hate it when Government tries to play Big Daddy and tell us what to do like children, how about we all let people fend for themselves with Facebook? They send out an email letting users know about things like this. If FB users can't figure it out, well, there's more trouble than this brewing for them. I think most will have a clue. Most will do nothing as is their right, the rest will lock things down or stop using FB. Choice!

  13. Re:Quit WHINING. on Facebook's Plan To Automatically Share Your Data · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Certainly it is. Even if you are "opted-in", you can then "opt-out".

    But it's irrelevant.

    Most of the people bitching about this don't use FB. The people who do either don't care or "opt-out" as they are free to do.

    It's a non-issue.

  14. Oh please. Give it up. on Ubuntu Will Switch To Base-10 File Size Units In Future Release · · Score: 1

    To excuse hard drive makers for using this stupid format to grown their number artificially?

    Oh please. At the size of most HD today, the difference is inconsequential from a marketing standpoint. And from a practical standpoint. Inconsequential.

  15. Quit WHINING. on Facebook's Plan To Automatically Share Your Data · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I don't cry about privacy when I can decide when, what and how I give it out.

    And you can!

    Every time Facebook changes their Privacy Policy, they send users an email. You are free to log in and add restrictions as you wish. You are also free not to use Facebook.
    Quit WHINING.

  16. SOP in NYC on NYC Drops $722M On CityTime Attendance System · · Score: 1

    Since it's effectively little more than a fancy punch clock, I'd think that it'd not be THAT difficult to do. I'm amazed that they're pouring that much cash into a bottomless pit on this- and then doing more of it instead of pulling the plug and starting over.

    It's NYC, the City of Graft. This is a city where "working the system" is SOP, where "in the old days" there where many Pisanos that had a "city job" they never went to. It still goes on today. This project is simply following the NYC way of doing things.

  17. Re:Like Smelly Kids Do on Beijing Sweetens Rubbish With Giant Deodorant Guns · · Score: 2, Funny

    When you do that it just smells like the bathroom after someone comes out waving their spray can.

    Which in turn, smells like a big bowl of greasy chili farts and roses.

  19. And... on Tracking Pedophiles By Their Typing Habits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But even more, how does it follow that the highest use of research into this sort of "knowledge" will / should automatically be use to find pedophiles? Isn't this just more of the THINK OF THE CHILDREN *hysteria*?

  20. Nothing New on The $8,500 Gaming Table You Want · · Score: 1

    Honestly, unless the product is something reviewed on Anandtech or "trusted" computer site it always comes across as if the submitter works for the group in the story.

    That's not really different than a lot of the stories - You will find that 60 to 70 percent are submitted by people who work for PC / Info / Tech World or whoever. No real difference here.

    Seriously. He was SIX. And I don't think his family was living in the lower economic levels. It's like Madonna visiting Africa and saying "I know how it is... I FEEEEEL for the little Africans..."

    Yes, but according to your linx, "Masturbating Monkey" is an OpenBSD release. Is Ubuntu switching to BSD? That would be news...

    They're just copying the iPhone restrictions from Apple!

    Yes, but it doesn't work the same. Apple can get away with it because of the Cult Factor. Widows Mobil and the phones it runs on doesn't have that. My boss, a diehard Windows network admin LOVES his Android phone.
