Hey, lighten up. Would you rather be discussing a story on Oracle's latest earnings report, or a Slashvertisement for some new "revolutionary" piece of tech that's never going to materialize?
Here in AMC (Air Mobility Command, USAF) we use the iPad with an OtterBox case. Hope there is a tough case for the Surface, because even is a nice jet like the C-17, these things take a beating.
Apparently, cutting your employee's health insurance is so low Starbucks will not stoop to it. But there are plenty who will, and it is the sign of a shitty employer.
For my "run of the mill" TS, they contacted people I had forgotten I even knew from high school (I'm 49). They knew about increadibly minor things I did 35 years ago and had long since forgotten.
If the money were not as good as it is, I would have skipped the extended anal probe, specially because I get to do it all over again every few years.
After the second time, I requested and recieved (via FOIA) a copy of the report that I keep and review when ever a "reinvestigation" comes up.
We really want a guy who owes the Mob 200K in gambling debts being leaned on to turn over top-secret information to erase his gambling debts.
There is no evidence that he is "owes the Mob 200K". There *is* evidence he used counterfit chips.
Also, if you think "the Mob" still has any control over legitimate licenced gambling establishments (such as those in NJ and NV), you really need to get out of the basement and take off the tinfoil, get a bit of sun.
If found guilty in the investigation, he will probably be retired at a lower rank.
Unlikly. A reduction in rank would require an Article 15 as a minimum, and at his level, it's not going to happen. Retirement certainly. And he'd better do it now.
Slashdot Mirror
...The once powerful Yahoo grasps at straws to attract developers back after fucking them over for a few years...
Hey, lighten up. Would you rather be discussing a story on Oracle's latest earnings report, or a Slashvertisement for some new "revolutionary" piece of tech that's never going to materialize?
You have a point.
Carry on...
Because this matters, and frankly I prefer to discuss this sort of thing with my fellow slashdotters...
It had NOTHING to do with the current budget situation. But it matters... So we are to discuss every cop shootout on the front page?
They are interested in mostly telecommunications gear, but these people have a great collection. If you're in Seattle, spend half a day there:

Really worth the trip...
I predict that this item will show up very shortly for around $100 in SkyMall magazine...
Funny, but "could care less" is actually considered correct in the US (or at least it's still in dispute)
When it is used incorrectly, it's considered incorrect, even in the US. There's no dispute about that.
I'd be happy to plug my netbook / phone / multimedia device into this unknown thumb drive. Why not? I've got anti-virus...
i could care less about these types of grammatical errors...
Um ya... actually the words "Microsoft Investors" in the title imply any integer above 1.
Yes, well, the headline implies more than a few.
Actually, *I* own 100 shares. So if *I* as an "investor" seek Gates' removal, does that warrant a story at Slashdot?
The entire group of 20 investors onws ONLY 0.5% more than Gates holds all by himself. So what percentage do you think 3 of those 20 owns?
The headline *IS* misleading.
The headline is a bit misleading.
THREE of 20 of the top investers have demanded Gates step down.
Non-news.
The C-17 requires around 75 pounds of paper, mostly airfield info. The loadmasters carry 5 or 6 binders of Tech Orders.
Just let me use the old design if I want to, then I will be happy.
Indeed.
I really don't understand why they want to change it. It is now how most users want it.
Adding in all that "web design" and JavaScript is only going to drive people away.
Maybe it's time for Bruce to bring back Technocrat.

Basically you are telling us your employer sucks and really doesn't care about their employees.
Say what you will about Starbucks and their burnt coffee, but here's what Howard Shultz had to say about the subject:
Starbucks wonâ(TM)t use the new law as an excuse to cut benefits or lower benefits for its workers...

Note the words above the description: "Discontinued Product" ...
Sounds like the parent and child are separated. Nothing wrong with trying to stay connected at a distance...
Giving a 4 year old a phone is not the solution to that problem.
By the way, my wife and I Skype three times a week with our grandchildren who are about that age. Works much better than handing them a phone.
Are you serious?
The most "suitable" phone for a 4 year old is one without a battery.
Really, you need to focus on more important things for your child at that age.
But... if they're gearing up to fight "zombies", they can stockpile all the weapons they want and only appear to be a little paranoid.
So, like this?
So, Dave, what's with all the automatic weapons and the cases of surplus MRE packages? Coomunists? Race war? The IRS? OBAMACARE ? No?
Oh, ZOMBIES?
Yes, that's only a "little" paranoid, Dave...

Not the case.

Jeremy Michael Boorda commited suicide for much less. Hope they are watching this guy...

Also, here's the current military pay scales:

The guy is making around 12K a month.
That's got to be a serious habbit to resort to using fake chips.
Too bad you're paying for overpriced air when you buy a bag...
Drumroll...
That's how I felt after reading your post!
Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week. Tip your waitress.
