  1. Re: Must example set of him on Florida Teen Charged With Felony Hacking For Changing Desktop Wallpaper · · Score: 1

    Where I work, they recently decided that the entire enterprise should load a central wallpaper referenced as a bitmap stored in a server folder.

    The stakes are higher, but the payoff is also higher.

    The fourth option is to break the law and try to get caught. When you're about to be cuffed up and moved to the van, you sing 'We shall not be moved.' Your buddy Vern sings the 'just like constipation' verse though, and ruins the song.

    Don't trivialize a serious issue. People in Australia have actually BEEN CAUGHT making plastic gun parts! It's no laughing matter at all!

    On the contrary. We must stamp out homophobia wherever it manifests itself.

    Well, it's an issue of sensitivity. The teachers are clearly at fault for the kid not having learned that it's all perfectly alright for two men to kiss. The school system must be promoting homophobia or something. Fetch the banners!

  6. Re:WTF, China has nukes already. on US Blocks Intel From Selling Xeon Chips To Chinese Supercomputer Projects · · Score: 1

    The advanced fabs are still in the USA. Also, even going way back you would find chips that were labeled 'Made in Costa Rica' or 'Made in Malaysia' where the dies were made in the US and shipped to the third world for packaging and encapsulation.

  7. Keep that box on your head forevah! on Virtual Desktop Makes Windows OS Oculus Rift-Capable · · Score: 1

    With this software, you can keep the plastic box on your head forever.

    Or at least until Mom says dinner is ready.

  8. Re:It's too late on Amazon Sues To Block Fake Reviews · · Score: 2

    The linked article starts out: Most online reviews are worthless and the communities can be hotbeds for corruption and cheating.

    So, basically, the 'tool' to detect a fake review is any web browser.

    Community still matters. The 'review' of a book or recording that somebody you actually know in the real world is much more relevant than an 'online' review generated by a stranger.

    To use this, I would have to log into Google and stop blocking Google cookies? And pay money?

    There's a reason I have Sylpheed set to connect to pop.gmail.com multiple times a day. No thanks!

    Thank goodness Trinity is curating WOTLK.

    The game's publisher has gone astray.

    I have respect for life as well. There is probably some intestinal bacteria in this specimen of human garbage that deserves life.

    In fact, he could host even more of it, don't you think? Why not let dude contribute to the furtherance of life.

    An 'indeterminate death sentence' might work (though it would be considered 'cruel and unusual punishment')

    Set him up to be executed on the electric chair. Do it every day, but with a 0.5% random number generator determining if 'this is the day' that the chair energizes. Televise it every day. Let Vegas get involved.

    It's guaranteed he'd not be a shining example of martyrdom by the time the juice actually flowed.

    He stole from rich liberals. Some of the richest and most liberal.

    He actually set back a number of 'liberal cause' organizations whose money he wiped out.

    It's worth keeping in mind that the 'witness' that has to appear at court is the Traffic Cop. It isn't practical for the police to tie up a cop for a half a day in court. So often enough if you contest it you get off, because the Cop doesn't show.

    I probably was only going to use it with WiFi anyway. But Slashdot is a social network, right?

    If you're far enough on the left spectrum, you view Hillary as a moderate near-republican.

    WTF is 'progressive'? Do you mean as in the 'Progressive era' when people like Magaret Sanger were promoting eugenics?

    It's probably fair to say that she's the Reddit communities CEO. It would suck to have any financial stake in the company, or work there as a professional.

  21. I worked for a company in the mid 80's with a CEO who one day issued a memo to all employees that said "We will no longer hire smokers. As the first question in any interview of prospective employees ask if they are a smoker. If they say 'yes' terminate the interview."

    This was at a small biomedical electronics device company. Some of the best engineers on staff happened to be smokers.

    The CEO's edict went nowhere.

    I tried Candy Crush Saga.

    It was so toploaded in derivative bullshit that had nothing to do with the core matching game that I pitched it. It was taking forever to actually get to the gameplay.

    I found a simple clone that just had the actual matching game. It's fun. There isn't bullshit and animated NPC cutscenes (on a matching game. on a phone!) to deal with before you can play.
