  1. He won't be for long on Jeff Bezos Is Now the World's Second Richest Person (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Several of us internet people have his e-mails and we know his cowardly acts committed in violation of the law.

    And if he doesn't answer our questions, we'll ruin his ass with the lawsuit.

    ~I kicked EA's ass in court, Bezos is next with the way he treats employees. I have ten former workers on my side to testify.

    "An incompetent fraud is not likely to hold down a job for long before being replaced"

    Uhhh, does the word 'union' ring any alarm bells?

  4. "Or does he also believe that furries are into beastiality?"

    Well, quite a few of them are. They're called Zoos.

  5. Former porno worker here, this is absolutely true. Loads of women in the Gor community. Most of them are seriously into the asshole type.

    Seems like your logic circuits are busted, sir. Try again when you have had to deal with multiple hard drive failures due to heat as CTO/CIO of one of California's oldest non-profits. (As of 1933.).

  7. "Their Marvel based offerings are quite good,"

    Not really. The comics win on the creativity front. The movies are utter CGI shit.

    " and Stranger Things is phenomenal."

    No more so than the Twilight Zone. In fact, ST pretty much copies episodes of TTZ almost piece for piece with a different spin.

    "Amazon is creating some genuinely entertaining original content as well"

    Nothing as original as One Punch Man, which in and of itself is not original given it spoofs every hero genre yet still remains fresh and semi-original in how they mock those genres.

    Try again when you have an actual literary education, child.

  8. Common sense victory on 'Pirate' Movie Streaming Sites Declared Legal By Italian Court (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Linking is the core idea of the internet. To kill it means to kill the internet as it exists.

    No, not necessarily. It could be the computer would have been just fine taking the new OS install, however the computer was likely blocked up with dust and such, so the old spinning rust drive got overheated while doing all those file writes and died.

    Seen it happen. Even SSDs aren't immune to heat damage, and the airflow in systems that have them tend to be even poorer.

    Yea... guess what pharmacies and police stations do?

    They read the disposal instructions for the drug, which is almost always "Mix with water and flush down the drain."

  14. Professional lip readers are bunk. on Researchers Build An AI That's Better At Reading Lips Than Humans (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Go compare this to a deaf person that reads lips. I know of literally thousands that never miss a single spoken word as long as they're looking at the speaker's mouth.

    Source: Camfrog, where there are fucktons of deaf people communicating with those with hearing. We speak after getting their attention with a hand signal, they read our lips and reply with zero issues.

  15. Either /. is gaslighting us or the AC has found a way to edit their posts after the fact. Because that is exactly what I saw originally, about ten lines and no "Read the rest of the comment" at the bottom.

    Guess what? Those laws don't provide equal treatment as required by the 14th amendment, so any competent lawyer could really get them shut down.

    What, is your screen resolution 160x120?

    Quit citing Wikipedia and go actually work in a logistical operation, like I did at Weber.

    The overwhelming majority of shipments are distribution as the product has already been paid for - had it not, it would never leave the manufacturing bay doors in the first place.

    That is how logistics works today. Your Wikipedia education is sadly ignorant of actual reality.

    "Distribution occurs when there's a change of hands."

    Guess what? Almost every manufacturer (hah!) in the USA use a third party logistics provider. It's immediately distribution as the possession already changed hands from one company to another, because most times, that product made isn't shipping from the manufacturer until IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SOLD.

    Source: I used to work for Weber Distribution. Primary customers: STAR Foods, Target stores, Delta Airlines.

  20. Re:Lessons to learn on Questions Linger After ISP Blocks TeamViewer Over Fraud Fears (sophos.com) · · Score: 1

    The ONLY paperwork I signed was specifically for the modem and service and billing. Nothing on that paperwork included any legalese. Not a single bit of fine print. I still hold the copy of the service receipt.

    So if they block or throttle, it's their ass in court. Nothing of that sort is listed as a term and condition on any piece of paper I signed.

  21. Re: Morons are running the USA on US Federal Budget Proposal Cuts Science Funding (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Economics is a flawed soft-science that has proven itself historically useless.

    I stick with real sciences. Physics, Horticulture, Geology. Things that are readily proven over and over again, unlike the shit soft 'sciences' such as economics, psychology, and creationism.

    Notice I said nothing about NASA/EPA/FDA/etc. All the money gets taken away from the people who are currently abusing said money - military, spy agencies, and the highest levels of government officials (judges, congress, President/Vice President, Treasurer, etc.)

    Reality, it's not about the comma. Shipping and distribution are the exact same thing to anyone who's actually worked a logistical position.

    This is a matter of Maine not having the education (along with the truck drivers whom are suing Maine,) this is a matter of idiots not knowing that two different words are one and the exact same thing.

    Since 'packing for shipping or distribution' implies ONE activity (packing) meant to go along with another activity (shipping/distribution) the truck drivers are in the right, as there's nothing mentioned about overtime exemptions for actual drivers, the packing for shipping or distribution happens IN THE WAREHOUSE, when the truck drivers aren't working.

    Having worked in this industry (specifically shipping food goods) shipment and distribution are one and the same thing. Learn 2 Logistics, Maine. Better yet, Maine needs to go the fuck back to school and remember what the definitions of those two words are.
