  1. No notice is okay if.... on Ask Slashdot: When Is It OK To Not Give Notice? · · Score: 1

    No notice is okay if the creditors are coming in to repossess the furniture...

    Seriously: Employers walk you out to minimize sabotage. In my book it's okay because too many idiots have given them justification. The people griping about how unfair it is that you are supposed to give notice but the employer can treat you like dirt just are full of crap.

    If you DON'T WANT TO BURN BRIDGES, give notice... If you don't care, don't give notice but remember that you never know when your old boss may be your boss again at a different company. (Looks at temporary project managers)

    Doesn't that make them trip and fall when the weight in their hands gets too much?

  3. Re:Tragic state of affairs, but... on Apple Sued For Man's Porn Addiction · · Score: 1

    It probably won't get as far as a judgement, Apple will probably pay him something to make him go away. WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TORT.

  4. Re:half a mil for a wordpress site ? on Hackaday For Sale, Editors Seek Crowd Funding To Buy It · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Anyone can start a Wordpress site, he's selling the brand and the following. I have several blogs and they are alot of work.

    I love Hack-a-Day and I thank him for getting it this far. I hope it stays around.

  6. Go ahead Microsoft and kill yourself faster! on Microsoft To Shut Down TechNet Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    They seem to have forgotten: "Developers developers developers... developers developers developers... developers developers developers..."

  7. ZERO JS and proud of it! on Node.js and MongoDB Turning JavaScript Into a Full-Stack Language · · Score: 1

    "It's effectively impossible to launch a sophisticated Web project without making extensive use of JavaScript and AJAX dynamic loading."

    Yeah, that's why my (extensive) web infrastructure has ZERO javascript in it....

  8. Re:Don't Do The Dig ... on Canadian Couple Charged $5k For Finding 400-Year-Old Skeleton · · Score: 1

    You TOTALLY MISSED garyisabusyguy's point. You are making the 'former employer' the bad guy instead of the true cause, the bad law.

    Get rid of the law and people usually do the right thing (try to save those precious artifacts)... As it is now, the law is pretty much guaranteeing their destruction.

  9. Re:Stupid idea on Crowd-Funded Radio Beacon Will Message Aliens · · Score: 1

    Agreed! THERE IS NOT ONE SPECIES OF PLANT OR ANIMAL THAT IS NOT PREDATORY and to think that aliens (with a technological advantage) would be 'kumbaya' is sheer idiocy.

  17. #1 Quit being a cheap-ass bastard! on Ask Slashdot: How Best To Disconnect Remote Network Access? · · Score: 1

    What you want to do is SO frigging simple it's embarrassing. So, what this tells me is that you are not spending money on IT staff. Quit being a cheap bastard and hire at least ONE competent IT person.

  18. How the mighty has fallen.... on NASA Teams With LEGO To Offer Model Competition · · Score: 1

    In the 60's (with SLIDE RULES) NASA built the Apollo program and put men on the moon. Today we can't lift our own astronauts into space and NASA's 'move ahead' plan is to play with Legos. Pathetic

    Put copies online and see how fast some nerds don't decrypt it....

  22. Re:Cerf is wrong... part II on Vint Cerf: Data That's Here Today May Be Gone Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    What WILL cause all of our digital data to finally be lost is media degradation. Every piece of data ever created will eventually be lost because the media it's on finally fails and someone forgot to copy it before hand. (That or the sun engulfs the Earth before we finally figure out that we have to get off this planet)

  23. Cerf is wrong... on Vint Cerf: Data That's Here Today May Be Gone Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    His position is that the data format is what will prevent data recovery - I postulate that as long as there are bored nerds that perceive a challenge, the old can and will be reverse engineered.

  24. How do you read the five inch floppies they're sto on Vint Cerf: Data That's Here Today May Be Gone Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Same way the TRS-80 fans do.... Take an old drive with an adapter and read it off once and transfer it to new media.

    Ira Goldlang's site (trs-80.com) has TONS of old software done that way.
