  1. They sell ads, right? on Google's Evil NDA · · Score: 1


    Awfully picky for an advertising sales company.

  2. Hookers and golf not a factor? on Study Finds Cost Major Factor In Outsourcing Positions · · Score: 1


    According to my independent study, 95% of executives in charge of outsourcing efforts wind up spending quite a lot of time in the offshore country. Improving their communication skills, and recruiting. You know.

  3. BSOD on Zune Sales Continue to Weaken · · Score: 1


    All the Microsoft players have a pretty bluescreen that Apple just can't match.

  4. Neo-Luddism on Image Metrics May Revolutionize Facial Animation · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    This technology will never take your job. It will take the job of the Chinese animator who takes your job. The money saved in each instance will go to the executives and stockholders of the company. Luckily, in America, you will still have some options to keep a roof over your head. These are welfare and prison. This is the system being used for the displaced auto manufacturing employees in Detroit.

  5. IT's teh gay on The Segway, Five Years Later · · Score: 1

    Gayest thing I've ever seen. And yes I've been to the Pride Parade in San Francisco.

  6. Dvorak consistently not Slashdot-worthy on Dvorak on Our Modern World · · Score: 1

    Could we please not post any articles from John Dvorak? They are never taken seriously by the Slashdot readership and detract from the normally excellent quality of content.

  7. Re:Easy solution - don't use ticketmaster. on Ticketmaster to Start Online Ticket Auction · · Score: 1

    I agree. It's probably easier to do in San Francisco with so many independent venues, but even for Ticketbastard events you can go to the box office. Not so convenient, but I'll figure out what I want to see for the next couple months, get some friends on board, and go buy 8 or 10 tickets. It takes an hour roundtrip, but without "convenience" fees you save about 30 percent and not a dime goes to the crooks.

  8. I cracked it on Judge Creates Own Da Vinci Code · · Score: 2, Funny


    "Drink more Ovaltine"

  9. So what? on Yahoo! Allegedly Helps Beijing Arrest a Third Reporter · · Score: 1


    Three reporters are nothing. How many Chinese have died in industrial accidents making all that cheap plastic crap for Americans to buy at Wal-Mart? How many will get cancer from exposure to chemicals in factories, or wastes leaked into the water supply? How many will die early from breathing smog? Three reporters are nothing.

  10. this is so exciting on Google OneBox Hooks up With Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1


    HR benefits, sales leads, or purchase order status

    //wets pants

  11. Fatter, and dumber on When an Algorithm Takes the Wheel · · Score: 1


    Another blow to the evolutionary process.

  12. Google bought the DNA ?? on Google's DNA · · Score: 1


    Totally makes sense. Zawinski is an oss zealot. Well I guess they are serious about getting into entertainment.

  13. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences on Self-Parking Cars Coming To U.S. · · Score: 1


    So where do I mail the pipe bomb for this one?

  14. Windows Vista Forever on Forbes Says Vista Not People Ready · · Score: 1


    They are switching to the Unreal engine?

  15. Magnetic drives are superior! on 32 GB Flash Storage Drive Announced · · Score: 0

    And records sound better than CDs
    Tube amps rule
    Carburetors, forget chipping
    and the New Testament is for sissies.

  16. Hot Holodeck Action? on Scientist to Implant Electrode in His Own Brain? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "When he went deeper into the brain, into the temporal cortex, he could elicit complex perceptions. A patient would say things like, 'I'm sitting on the back porch of my mother's house and she's calling me to dinner.'"

    Could this be developed further? How realistic was the perception? I guess that's exactly the question Newsome would like to answer. The mind reels.

  17. Ordinary fucking people on How Songs Get Popular · · Score: 5, Funny

    I hate 'em
