  1. I love my TDI... on The Dirty Truth About 'Clean Diesel' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I love my TDI and you can suck my dick to determine the level of pollution that it kicks out. I never had it tested but I am pretty sure the new generation of TDI engines is much cleaner than any previous diesel engines before them.

  2. Looks like Bill gates finally took Steve Jobs' advice and dropped some acid...

  3. Re:Foundations are the biggest scam in the world. on Zuckerberg To Give Away 99% of His Facebook Stock (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. The slave world looks at this and is all giddy and in awe about the kindness of these people and how generous and amazing they are. When in reality they are just using the system to further their wealth and position in society.

  4. Lightbulb to eliminate whale hunting jobs on Bank of England's Andy Haldane Warns Smart Machines Could Take 15M UK Jobs (robotenomics.com) · · Score: 1

    In other news, the invention of the modern light bulb will put thousands of whale hunters, butchers and ship owners out of work, endangering their retirements and family healthcare plans.

  5. Re:Symantec is a sales organization on Google Threatens Action Against Symantec After Botched Investigation (itworld.com) · · Score: 2

    A lot of the senior PGP developers are long gone. The product was split into several smaller pieces to help their bottom line, like e-mail encryption, disk encryption and their file encryption tools. Most people looking to buy the commercial version of PGP don't even know WHAT to buy simply because their marketing and sales lingo is so deliberately confusing.

  6. Symantec is a sales organization on Google Threatens Action Against Symantec After Botched Investigation (itworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Symantec has stopped being a "security company" long ago and has become a massive sales organization focused on little more than quarterly results rather than quality products. They've ruined PGP...Verisign is next. Who knows what else they are working on destroying?

  7. Maintaining status quo... on Antineutrino Detection Is About To Change the Game In Nuclear Verification (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So in essence, this new method would allow the existing superpowers to continue to keep their boots on the throats of developing countries who may want to pursue nuclear ambitions.

  8. Re:What if I own my own roads? on Why Self-Driving Cars Should Never Be Fully Autonomous (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 2

    Well that makes more sense now. Book marketing comes to the rescue! :)

  9. What if I own my own roads? on Why Self-Driving Cars Should Never Be Fully Autonomous (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Why does this guy care? What about private roads? Private cars and private property rights? Who gives a shit?

  10. Re:Emailing blue prints on "E-mailable" House Snaps Together Without Nails (clemson.edu) · · Score: 1

    LOL.

  11. Emailing blue prints on "E-mailable" House Snaps Together Without Nails (clemson.edu) · · Score: 1

    Do people know that you can also e-mail blue prints for standard houses too? Does that make the house "e-mailable?"

  12. Re:out of alignment with the value of the Australi on Australians Set To Pay 50% More For Apps After Apple Price Spike (heraldsun.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Yup, exactly. Not sure why people are bitching about it.

  13. out of alignment with the value of the Australian? on Australians Set To Pay 50% More For Apps After Apple Price Spike (heraldsun.com.au) · · Score: 1

    "out of alignment with the value of the Australian dollar,"

    Sounds like Apple disagrees.

  14. Re:Does this author actually 'get' what science is on Author Joris Luyendijk: Economics Is Not a Science (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    No, It's clear that he doesn't. That's a terrible write up.

  15. Supply and demand on Charge Rage: Electric Cars Are Making People Meaner In California · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a ripe opportunity to make some money. This is not a problem.

  16. Re:Sounds like bullshit to me ... on Chicago Mayor Calls For National Computer Coding Requirement In Schools (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, especially large healthcare organizations. They seem to be stuck on the whole degree thing AND also paying much lower than average. Which is why they often end up with sub-par employees on board.

    Bottom line, hone your skills, hold your ground and go for the best offers you can get.

  17. Re:Sounds like bullshit to me ... on Chicago Mayor Calls For National Computer Coding Requirement In Schools (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    I imagine it probably has a lot to do with the market and niche you are in and the supply and demand of jobs in that specific market. When there is a severe shortage of people to fill roles, many employers are willing to lower education requirements and focus on what someone can actually deliver.

  18. Re:Sounds like bullshit to me ... on Chicago Mayor Calls For National Computer Coding Requirement In Schools (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually that's not true at all. Most job postings today require a college degree OR experience. Fuck college degrees. Acquire killer skills and you'll be just fine.

  19. Not even prisoners who take classes are forced to learn how to code. WTF is wrong with these bureaucrats? Some kids want to be artists, musicians, architects or doctors. How does forcing them to learn programming help anyone at all, other than ballooning the school's budgets and wasting more money?

  20. Never talk to the police on Former Reuters Media Editor Found Guilty of Helping Anonymous Hack Into LA Times (twitchy.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    And this is why you never talk to cops without a lawyer present. Ever.

    Ever.

  21. Re:Blocking the Japanese ministry of agriculture? on International Exploit Kit Angler Thwarted By Cisco Security Team · · Score: 1

    It's probably address space shared by Yakuza too. Someone learned a lesson the hard way

  22. Re:New addresses on Researcher Spots a Drug Buy In Bitcoin's Blockchain · · Score: 1

    You are mitigating risk, you are not eliminating it. You can go to the absurd extreme or do less, like running your wallet through TOR for example. The idea here is to minimize your exposure...but the very act of using Bitcoin is risky, so you have to make choices based on risk factors.

  23. New addresses on Researcher Spots a Drug Buy In Bitcoin's Blockchain · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Just generate a new address whenever you buy illegal things if that's what you are into, or have several wallets that you rotate between to perform your transactions. If you reuse an address over and over again, of course you can be tracked. The safety factor is directly proportional with your ability to understand how this works and how you can be tracked

  24. In other words... on Eric Schmidt: Regulate Civilian Drones Now · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...how would anyone feel if some corporation indexes every words that comes out of your fingers, searches your emails to serve you ads and even turn them to government when they ask for it, and uses cars equipped with cameras to drive around and take pictures of your house?? What the hell? Regulate this shit...NOW!

  25. Power off on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Bitcoin Mining For Go-Green Initiatives? · · Score: 2

    You are better off powering off all the unused machines at night and saving your company quite a bit of money.
