  1. Re:Expected response on The Bitcoin Death Star: KnC Plans 10 Megawatt Data Center In Sweden · · Score: 3

    Traffic is king, block slashdot on your router for the week so you won't be tempted. If beta is still here on the 18th its over.

  2. Re:Somehow fitting on Up To a Quarter of California Smog Comes From China · · Score: 1

    A lot of people don't understand that the less they give as customers, the less they'll receive as employees.

    Because the CxO or shareholders always trickle down those profits to the little peoples, instead of buying another $50 million yacht.

    It's not voting, its masturbation, now with a new and improved predictive algorithm. Now we know who launched it and where the best stains will land, and the music industry wets itself again. Sometimes it's depressing to be human.

  5. Re:What's missing from the discussion on Ask Slashdot: Are AdBlock's Days Numbered? · · Score: 1

    The advertisers win by not needing the extra bandwidth necessary to serve up ads to people that wouldn't click on them anyways.

    There is no one that doesn't need their ads, they just don't know it. Its religious nutball logic at its best. Your own ads are always yummy delicious double good. Reality is ignored so that the (greedy prick) doesn't see his real image in the mirror. Every decision makers worst downfall is believing their own press releases. Advertisers have downed their own koolaid and the brain damage is usually permanent.

  6. Re:Needs a lancher api. on Windows 9 Already? Apparently, Yes. · · Score: 1
    Guerrilla marketing slogans like Windows 8 it's really a Lock down System not an Operating System, or if you loved AOL your really gonna like Windows 8. Might get the message across but I doubt it.

    I'm just tired of Redmond fucking up the desktop. The tweens can have Windows 8 and beyond, I think the grownups need to look elsewhere. We're not the demographic Microsoft is looking for.

    Some ot them are not real. I sometimes start a virtual machine with Vnc wide open on 5800 and use a DOD emblem for wallpaper.

    I've found hackers trying ports 5802 and when I tracert them I get a weird 2900ms delay leaving the last US hop at San Diego headed to the Orient.

  9. Re:So.... on The Other Exam Room: When Doctors 'Google' Their Patients · · Score: 1

    With electronic records, almost all of the hospitals are linked here, and a simple search turns up everything.

    After being in the same local hospital system for twenty years I can say, not really. A doctor might keep everything but the hospitals do not. They remember your insurance data and where to bill/reach you, and even a ten year old defunct phone number. But some tests from 5 or 6 six ago not so much, its about tracking the money.

    They can pull most of the data from my glucose meter already, no wait they all speak different electronic dialects. Glucose meter mfgs have tried similar approaches, but they charge for the software/service and data cables are proprietary. I can't afford diabetes meds like insulin already, supporting more medicine for profit is not on my to do list.

    The powerful, rich, amoral, yes they are, and their currently in charge. Oh! you think because they hold up a banner with your beliefs on it they're "good." Nobody should have these powers without oversight. Maybe we should torture some more people, after all only the righteous should have rights!

    Lead them on untill they think your starting the remote control session. Get a remote user code and password or two (say it didn't work) from them and then report it to the remote vendor. It's fun when you waste 20 min of their life and they swear at you. With any luck you burned a user account for their remote control provider.

    Take the money and go invent something else. Or buy a basketball team. Or help bring an end to disease in a developing corner of the world. But don't waste your time and talents trying to milk one good idea for a few more bucks.

    If you have more than a billion dollars give all your workers a %100 raise, rinse, and repeat. They probably earned it, pay it back and don't be a greedy douche.

    By all means, judge him for what he has brought to society. But you should not do that without judging him for all that he has took from society as well.

    I can only wish Bill Gates wakes up in the middle of the night screaming "I'm not a douche bag" at least once.

    consider 5 out of 6 people who play Russian roulette

    After driving for 12 years over a 40,000 sq mi territory doing hardware tech, I would often speed without any accidents. It's a result of planning, equipment, and keeping sharp behind the wheel. Limited access highways are perfectly safe to around 90 mph traffic permitting. I would only attempt speeds over 100 mph on clear sunny days with little traffic and between cities. Although night or early dawn bambi might jump a fence and surprise you.

    I cannot be that lucky.

    We need some sort of holodeck that allows people to be fully immersed in their work environment without being physically present.

    Management needs the holodeck to measure productivity by the level of discomfort on the slaves faces, its about the effort. The hardest working boss is always available to promote how hard he's working. Getting that image of "the hard working minions" to his boss is the biggest challenge. Show the boss your visible suffering and your most of the way to success in business.

    ALL religious organizations need to devote massive PR to disavowing their own nutjobs, instead of a weak passive disapproval. Hunting them down, and disowning them out kind of disapproval. They seem to like having a few rabid members around.
