  1. EI/EQ is a buzz word without evidence as to its efficacy. It's subjective. Moving on.

  2. Re:General Tso on China Just Launched Two Astronauts Into Orbit (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks, now I can't resist the Panda Express left overs in my fridge. Shit.

  3. Maybe I'm living under a rock, because I've never heard of this site. I thought YouTube was pretty popular.

  4. I live in a city where road work never fucking ends and the workers get really creative routing traffic through these work zones. It has gotten to the point I think there is no standard other than "make it work." On the rare occasion, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do, but many people end up fucking it up. So it -is- preposterous unless a lot of things change and strict adherence to those changes occur.

  5. Flameproof? on Samsung Ships Flameproof Boxes For Note 7 Returns (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Challenge fuckin accepted. Where do I get one?

  6. What about when it effects service? on Amazon Bans Incentivized Reviews Tied To Free Or Discounted Products (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I bought a tripod and wasn't impressed with it. So I left my thoughts in a review. The manufacturer contacted me and told me they were aware of the problems and working on a new version. They offered to send me the next model up and asked if I'd "update my review." I agreed and updated it to reflect them standing behind their product (didn't change my thoughts on the tripod itself), which I think is important in the buying process. I've left negative reviews for companies doing the exact opposite.

  8. What about ISK on EVE? on Federal Judge Rules Bitcoin Is Money In Case Tied To JPMorgan Hack (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    With PLEX an exchange rate to real-world currency has been established. So will this pave the way for game criminals to face real world criminal charges?

  9. Saitek has had some issues on Logitech Buys Saitek (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    There are some discussions out there about saitek having supply chain issues and products being on backorder indefinitely. One in particular is their rudder pedals, which used to be reasonably priced, now costs hundreds of dollars. Hopefully Logitech will get things on track. The flight sim controller isn't a crazy lucrative business unless you are really enthusiastic and the ultra enthusiast is shopping above Saitek's quality.

    There's only one way to be sure. Cut him at the trunk and count the rings. I'll get a saw.

  13. Precedence for the pro-gun folks on Twitter Is Not Legally Responsible For The Rise of ISIS, Rules California District Court (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This could mean a gun manufacturer is not liable for someone committing murder with their product, right?

  14. In Soviet Russia, Google find [sic] you!

  15. Georgia power denies outage on Delta Air Lines Grounded Around the World After Computer Outage (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    They say it simply didn't happen. Numerous analyst articles say Delta, like many other airlines, understandably operate aging and complex systems. Their system just had enough.

  16. Could be lower, but perhaps insignificant on Uber Doesn't Decrease Drunk Driving, Finds New Study (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a level of false confidence driver have to recognize to go "okay, I shouldn't drive." I started using Uber and it only costs about $7 without surge to get home. I had a few drinks the other night and I Uber'd home, picked up my car the next day. I get caught over the limit, I lose my job (company car) and perhaps my career (licensed medical personnel). I'm just one guy and there were a -lot- of people at that pub.

    One thing to consider: how many drunk drivers actually get caught? Go to a average-sized bar with maybe 100 people inside and see how many get in their car and drive home. Do you really think they are not impaired? If your jail has a website listing arrests, check it out and you'll find maybe only a handful of people arrested for DUI. Now, consider the number of Uber drivers out there compared to licensed drivers alone. The difference in the number of DUIs may be a narrow margin and, therefore, considered statistically insignificant.

  17. Re:UBI will reach 100% of tax on The Case Against a Universal Basic Income (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    Funding keeps the military trained and combat-ready. It is really difficult to say what would help and what would leave our military ill-prepared.

    Sure it is work, but it isn't valued work. It is the high value of their vanity - they get paid by the level of cheer.

    I dumped the cash in that Obsidian case and within months, fans started going out. After a year, a USB port broke. Really disappointed in Corsair with them being all the rage.

  23. Certificates on VPN Provider Removes Russian Presence After Servers Seized (thestack.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They also yanked all certificates (or will soon). Customers will have to download the new ones if they use OpenVPN or something of the like.

  24. Not like they use the notice anyway on Ask Slashdot: Is It Ever OK To Quit Without Giving Notice? · · Score: 1

    My last employer wanted 4 weeks, which is standard for licensed medical personnel. However, they never use the time to find a replacement. By the time I left, they had JUST posted the position. It has been 2 months and they haven't filled it yet. The likelihood of finding an replacement for a departing employee with 2 weeks notice sounds even more bleak. It is a waste of one's time.

  25. Re:Fines Please on Wendy's Says More Than 1,000 Restaurants Affected By Hack (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree. Look at healthcare. If you're negligent, you get slapped with massive fines if you aren't held criminally liable. This is really no different.
