  1. Re:Hiring managers on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Tech Job Requirements So Specific? · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Many managers have limited technology understanding and throw buzzwords or product names and years onto a posting. In 1999 I saw a job advertisement wanting 5-10 years of Java experience. That was not actually possible.

  2. Help us FOSS, you're our only hope on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Stop a Debt Collection Scam From Targeting You? · · Score: 1

    How about a program we can run with speech recognition and generation that tries to tie them up for as long as possible? Fire ELIZA up.

  3. Oh great... on Effects of Parkinson's-Disease Mutation Reversed In Cells · · Score: 1

    ...isn't this exactly the sort of research that destroyed Raccoon City?

  4. Re:FDA? on FDA Questions Swedish Cell Phone Cancer Study · · Score: 1

    No offence intended, just being ironic.

  5. FDA? on FDA Questions Swedish Cell Phone Cancer Study · · Score: 1

    The FDA has long shown to take a reasonable balance between the health of Americans and the health of status-quo capitalism. I am about as interested in hearing what they have to say about a study saying you should use cell phones less as I am in hearing about MSFT's Linux strategy.

  6. Is anyone really surprised... on RIM Chairman Wants Changes to U.S. Patent Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...a Canadian company is on the receiving end of US courts?

  7. This is infantile. on The Digital Dark Age · · Score: 1
    I still have the files I had on my MS-DOS computer. Even the ones that were on 5 1/4 diskette. If there were anything tricky about moving bits around, (like when you had to use a floppy) this would be a problem, but with the expansion of portable media, and networking, my bits roam from computer to computer, OS to OS, media to media with the greatest of ease.

    We are in greater danger of people forgetting how to read.
