  1. better idea,, what the fuck on California Bans Drones From Delivering Marijuana (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    this is stoopid.. it seems your feeble attempt to be cool is weak at best.. This has no relevance to the "nerd" world Ohh Weed is cool, Ooooo its a fucking shame the quality of material displayed here is is in such a decline.. what is this Yahoo 2.0

  2. Oh yes, the story about Muthu.. on Commentary On How To Make Novice Programmers More Professional (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    To be clear, I do not support the slander, or marginalization of anyone based on color, race, creed, or religion.. Moving on. So, I read through the comments, saw the ups and downs. But what's disturbing is the fact when those whom speak up regarding glaring issues, there is no support.. this is how most people see it, 1. employer wants to start an initiative to jump start productivity. 2. employer may not want to pay or does not have a budget for the expectations.. 3. leverage someone in the workforce to spear-head this project, regardless if they are qualified or not. Latteral move requiring no extra Budget outlay. 4. if it doesn't work, employer blames employee whom is laid off and then is also responsible for those whom acted on the advice and subsequently got laid off. Which opens other avenues.. 5. Now employer has several openings that can be filled by younger less experienced individuals (drones), that can try to do the work at a significantly reduced cost.. Long term looks shabby, short term looks great. yes I agree our profession is messed up to some degree, but does that mean that we should sweep incidences like this under the rug, and try to move forward with a short ter vision? Or, can we stop this vicious cycle and bolster a better future-vision for ourselves and those whom will undoubtedly come after our passing? What ever happened to the concept of "forward thinking?" Thank you all for your time and attention (or lack there of, thanks just the same)

  4. OK OK enough with the disparriging of /. on PewDiePie Calls Out the 'Old-School Media' For Spiteful Dishonesty · · Score: 1

    hey All, I appreciate the supporting comments, but not at the expense of others.. Just because I don't agree with the positions of some, does not mean they are wrong, nor I, it just means we disagree. But before someone attaches blame for this to me, let's be professionals and move on to bigger and better things..

  5. OK OK.. i fyou put your self in questionable situations you must expect negative outcomes, especially when dealing with content that you cannt control. As a typical Mellineal (ya i dont care if its spelled wrong) you attempted to force your views and perceptions on others, only to have them interpreted and acted upon.. it seems your buthurt about some questionable activities that you were involved in, someone got offended, made a rebuttal (although not the best in the world, its still a response) At the time, Germans thought Hitler was the Shiznit, untill we kicked his ass and exposed the truth.. In this case,, your messed up humor was responded to in a way you obviously did not appreciate. Is that any bad or worse than you pro-porting the inital posting that started all of this?? Just because you see it as funny, the rest of the werld may not share your NARROW VIEW of whats considered comedy.. To compound further, if others in YOUR industry also share and join in on the comments, perhaps they may have a point.. Give it up, your humor was taken out of context and mutilated into the vision of what MANY OTHERS SAW IN YOUR HUMOR. Part of being an adult, and living in an adult world included accepting when YOUR WRONG trumpey is a good example. Once he realized the whole travel Ban was a joke, and others pushing him into that thought process, he finallyu shut up and wil decide on another route, at least he shutup..Admit-it you were wrong, and/or your artwork was not taken as YOU intended, Boo HOO. Be an adult admit your mistake and either correct it, or move on. What may be humor to some may naught b 2 others..Best wishes on your re-programming

  6. so, here is something interesting.. a thank you on Apple Announces WWDC 2017, To Be Held in San Jose On June 5-9 (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    Hey Tim, upon reflection, I do owe you some thanks for correcting some of the facts I placed out there.. OK X-serves did remain in production for over a year, but I think the other person did bring up a good counter point "To whom were they sold to?" To be upfront the original argument was around the conjectured reasoning behind Apples move from SF to SJ, so lets stick with that ok.. Enjoy California.

    So Tim, Based on how the the point system has jumped up all of a sudden, I have to ask, can you hide the fact that you may be moderator any better?? Promoting you own agenda.. Dude relax, no need to immaturely flex your muscle. What ever the last guy pointed out is pretty fact on.. How you blew out my intentions into a hardware discussion is far beyond me, when the subject matter was about how the WWDC is moving to SJ versus SF due to budgetary issues. Being that certain things are legal in California, perhaps you may want to take advantage of that. What that on the table, I think it's time for me to GTFO, I've go something better to focus my attention on.

    apple announces wwdc2017, but yet looking at the articles I notice the article about facebook it over shadows.. 16 to 13 comments, and the gap gets bigger.. Ya, the Shine from the apple name is getting tarnished quik.. Like their server platform, it looks nice, but does it function? Does it bring the same features at a similar pricepoint to its brethren? NO Could it have? Yes if Apple was not involved. I think the "X-serve" platform lasted 6 months..

  14. OH heck yes..!!!!! on VR Devs Pull Support For Oculus Rift Until Palmer Luckey Steps Down (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree its everybody right to speak their mind, but they have to prepare for the consequences of their actions. what goes up, must come down i think is about darm time enough people get up and surface these actions. it's these brave actions by the few, that show leadership and value for your fellow man.. Trump, while perceived as a niceguy to some, may serve to evoke crap from others.. Either way he is a politician, ya cant win them all.. but I will say this, I think with the amount of Hateful fecal matter that has fallen from his dirty and stained lips, its amazing that reports of these things have not surfaced earlier, or even perhaps worse. I agree Hillary is not perfect, but..... lets face it she is not Trump.. Which could be good or bad, depending on your perception.. I cannot or rather will not conjecture on the options, and it may seem to bias and thus tarnish the integrity of the article I am trying to convey. That said, thank you all for your time, patience, and attention with regard to this "blurb" of info..

Uber took over the taxi cab end Will this do away with the need to "tail" some one from a law enforcement perspective? What can be done to secure the tech, for example. If it some how got out that 95% of the people to whom this tech is deployed to are 20 and younger, how can the company secure that data from lets say pedophiles, or predators?? going back to the Gov't how can we secure them from leveraging some legal crap to compel the company to turn over your records so the Gov 't agency for some sort of analysis and or citizen spying? If you look @ the website, there are some areas that aren't even finished or accessable such as the "support/FAQ" Page..

  18. Um, ya.. Way to Go Snowden.. ya I think these Exec. orders just inflate the situation. Whats the real reasoning behind the order ???? Since the Snowden campaign is not even on US soil (as I understand it, although in this day and age that may have changed recently). Help us to understand how an executive order can reach or be enforced outside the borders? If snowden is so off base, etc. then why has it been so difficult to squash his perceived rhetoric? Why is HBO Publishing a nice documentary about his adventures? I am confused, is this fact the world tells me or is it fiction what my government tells me?

    This is something YOU should take up with management, the company auditor, and company legal council to establish a policy and procedure for these things.. The resources you had placed to "read-only", do you know if there is a documented policy/procedure regarding terminations? If so do your actions fall under those guidelines? If not, do you understand what negative exposure you may be causing as a result of not following such a procedure much less having one in place.. Its great that your looking for some FREE help, but this is something for your company to decide, and document.. thanks, my 2c

Remind you of Mc Arthyism?? perhaps to some extent?? 3.. at what point can we as a nation come together and fight for our rights again against our oppressors and our narrow thinking? 4.. I agree the individual should be evaluated by a Professional to see if the punishment does fit the alleged crime.. 5.. Based only on the information given, how can this tragedy happen?? 6.. What were to happen if he were 18 and just finishing up HighSchool? Would he be in jail now?? If so what would he be charged with? 7.. How could we as a community quantify this?? Libel, Slander, Defamation of charecter, crule and unusual punnishment, illegal search and seizure? (perhaps not since the family willingly let them inside) Child's right violations, civil rights violations, the list could potentially go on and on. If the Kid is found to be of sane mind and the punnishment is found to be crule and unusual, I hope some one from Blizzard, or EA games talks to him about getting a job to solidify what could be a great future.. gK
