  1. Re:rabble rabble rabble rabble rabble on Spirited Exchange Over Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Tell me about it. I like how people will sit and believe government officials over hardcore geeks who have witnessed the growth, decline, and rebirth of the telephone giants through the FCC and beyond. For fuck's sake, a series of tubes vs. people who spent the majority of their lives on usenet?
    Christ almighty, at least let some of that time MEAN something! These people know what the fuck they're talking about! Net neutrality *protects* consumer choice!

  2. Re:Interesting date to choose... on GPL 3 Launch Date Announced · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I want to trollgasm all over this sick, herpes-infested terrible excuse for an article, but I think I'll save that for the sick, herpes-infested terrible excuse for a software license.
    God this almost makes me want to cry.

  3. Re:isn't this normal? on Internal Microsoft Email about Life at Google · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sounds normal to me? Except the whole "not having a life" part...
    A lot of Google sounds similar to the structure of the place where I work. There's a bit of an unhealthy spin that makes it sound like it ends up being worse- for example, valuing "degrees" over "experience"- Well, for one, I've been in class with a graduate student who was refused an internship from Google, and this guy was actually extremely intelligent; their reasoning was that he ought to start at a lower-tier job first (he wanted to be a dev?).
    I mean, it sounds like they'd hire any old bum with a cool degree, which simply isn't true- I sincerely doubt that Google's products are the result of code that *my* classmates could chug out; college code tends to be extremely inelegant and barely operational. I think, instead, google might *gasp* be hiring lots of programmers since they're a new company (relatively). Furthermore, maybe Stanford is simply buddy-buddy with Google; I know that's the case between utexas engineering and AMD; we tend to give them quite a few interns and coops, not because they think utexas is superior, but because they get a *lot* of applicants from utexas.
    Not to bust on Microsoft- despite the slashdot official stance on them, I was seeking a job with them earlier, and it looked to me like they treated their employees very, very well.

  4. Re:Good stuff for people across the world on CIA Declassifies the "Family Jewels" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Normally I would argue but I'd have to sign this one. Many deaths can be caused by breaches in past declassified documents. I'm surprised they mentioned the KGB official- the Russian government tends to operate like gangsters about that sort of thing.

  8. Re:This will be the end of civilization on Presence Systems Number One On Federal Wish List · · Score: 1

    Just as a context to OP, the Panopticum is the concept of a circular prison with a single guard in the center separated by a one-way mirror, so that every prisoner knows it's *possible* they're being watched, but no prisoner actually *knows* they're being watched.
    This device was covered in Michel Foucalt's book Madness and Civilization. Good book.

    Well, correct me if I'm wrong but google could hire interns (too bad they don't do that already) and ask them to blur out everyone's faces.

    I would support mandatory - forcible - vaccination when there is an epidemic killing or crippling large numbers of people.
    See Cancer.

    You can not accidentally get infected or infect others with HPV.
    Wait, what? Let's assume for a second, and god knows where I got this idea, that HPV is asymptomatic, particularly in males. Oh wait, I forgot, this is slashdot. Nobody knows jack shit about sex here from lack of experience.
    Secondly, I would challenge you to prove to me that a majority, or fucking hell a PLURALITY of the people with gonorrhea, AIDS, syphilis, herpes, or any other sexually transmitted disease contracted it through any other means than ACCIDENTALLY (broken condom, rape, simply not knowing their partner was infected, or a hot night with your mother)
    This wins the award for stupidest sentence anyone has ever posted on slashdot. You go look at the trolltalk thread and you'll find out how significant this award is.

    Yes, people have the right to choose their HEALTHCARE, but vaccinations aren't a matter of healthcare, they're a matter of preventing disease and preserving the public safety. Do you have the right to walk around without a left arm? sure! But do you have the right to carry deadly diseases to others? no! it's not an option in the first place. It's one of the few places in a completely free society where it's justified under locke's philosophy to force someone to do something.

    PS: If you have any more questions about STDs, just ask your mother. I gave them to her.
