  1. Your statement makes no sense in this context. What context does your little quip apply to, exactly?

  2. Terabytes over decades on NTFS on Ask Slashdot: Best File System For the Ages? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've got somewhere between 20-30 TB that has been accumulating for more than 20 years on NTFS, and I've never seen any examples of "bit rot". My files today are identical to what they were 20+ years ago. I have to wonder what kind of filesystem that the poster is using.

  3. Re:please do this for all places on More Fast Food Restaurants Are Now Automating (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    People who want to be treated like a customer generally don't eat at Olive Garden.

  4. Re:Ajit is consistent on FCC Chair Wants Carriers To Block Robocalls From Spoofed Numbers (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    After all, there is no big company making these robocalls, hence no big bribes for Ajit to collect.

    Who allows robocalls to happen in the first place, Einstein? Who gets paid for the robocalls calls, Doctor?

    Jesus Christ.. No wonder we have Trump.

  5. I agree, but people, at least in modern society, have thrown out the idea of "local", so why should it matter where people are from, in terms of employment? Why should production be local, but consumption not be? That doesn't make any sense. The world, unfortunately, will not be going back to local employment or local consumption in our lifetimes.

  6. "If you're doing business (i.e.: taking money from people) in a country, especially THIS country, you have a moral obligation to employ people from the community, if possible."

    You used to be right, but not any more. Money is no longer spent locally, so why should jobs be kept local? If people are buying all of their consumer goods from multinationals and having them delivered to their doorstep, then why should employment be any different?

  7. "enough to fill a medium-sized dustbin" on New Scientific Test Finds Up To 75 Liters of Urine In Public Pools (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    What the fuck is a "medium-sized dustbin"? That's a truly bizarre comparison to make in order to describe a volume of liquid.

  8. Re:What about Russian Shutdown Roulette? on Microsoft is Making It Easy To Stop Windows 10 Rebooting Your PC Randomly For Updates (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Really smart scientists, or their graduate students, program something in Visual Basic or C# or whatever, and this becomes a distributed executable shared with others. They don't know better.

    And what's wrong with their choice of tools? Why should they "know better"? Are you suggesting that VB and C# are inherently flawed tools, that nobody should use under any circumstances?

    Let me guess... you're not in the private sector.

  9. Re:oh no my hugbox on Twitter To Get Even Harsher On Trolls (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    People should call them out on it because it is at odds with the intent of the platform.

    I doubt that. They're probably making MORE money when they dump the trolls.

  10. Re:Their efforts are doomed to failure on Twitter To Get Even Harsher On Trolls (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It isn't even theoretically possible to formulate an objective definition of "abuse," and when all definitions are subjective, all decisions on who is abusive are subjective.

    Jesus, kid, take a basic Philosophy 101 class, huh? This is basic stuff. Are you also going to say that there are no facts, as well?

  11. Re:Wrong on Twitter To Get Even Harsher On Trolls (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    In no, way, shape, or form is Twitter an "ISP" or a "common carrier".

  12. Jesus Christ. Are you serious? Broken English about not wanting to have a beer with scientists? Why aren't you on Breitbart?

  13. Re:So why use these large cloud services? on Amazon's Cloud Service Has Outage, Disrupting Sites (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, obviously, Amzaon's redundancy is either useless on non-existent, so I don't know what you think you're paying for.

  14. Re:There might be light but it is not the big pict on Fasting Diet 'Regenerates Diabetic Pancreas' (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Unfortunately, nobody with a day job and family responsibilities, can follow such rigorous program in my opinion, let alone eating in the guidelines of this diet (a.k.a. starvation)

    I'm confused... not eating takes too much time...?

  15. Mental health on LG's Latest Battery Is Also a Phone (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem with having a smartphone that you want to use all the damn time is that you'll spend a big chunk of your day wedded to an outlet.

    If this is true, the problem isn't with the device.

  16. Considering both the legal costs with defending lawsuits and the potential awards/settlements, this asshole boss would have to be worth millions to Uber on order for it to make any sense to keep somebody like that.

  17. This isn't a court. This is a discussion board on a web site.

  18. OK, AC. First, this whole man v woman thing is in your head. I never said it was OK for a woman to harass a man. That's a complete straw man.
    And Bill Gates & Melinda Gates... I don't know their story, and obviously, neither do you. This is a discussion about what this woman said happened at Uber.

  19. Who's saying that there's no evidence or investigation involved? What kind of bizarre strawman is that?

  20. I wasn't aware that one of the goals of a modern workplace is to encourage marriage. That's a new one to me.

  21. You can do whatever you want in your company, but if this is the policy in your company, be prepared to get you butt sued off.

  22. That's as bizarre as me saying that I'm entitled to your full name and address.

  23. A person asking a direct subordinate to fuck them is always harassment. Has been forever, Has been a litigatable offense for the past few decades.

  24. Why are you entitled to evidence? Who are you? This is a discussion about gross behavior going on at Uber. This isn't a court room.

  25. She says she has screen shots. Please stop yelling inanities.
