  1. HR worst offenders on Companies Getting Rid of Reply-all · · Score: 1

    Mindless drivel is their filler, when they can't make any real work. Tell the CEO studies show employees are fooled into thinking they have value when engaged in useless activities.

    expands like LEGO

    Ah, step back into the past, stackable, networked, and able to expand right off the edge of your desk. Come complete with a power brick feeding dual dc to dc (re)converters internally and with multitasking all on a 80186. A small monument (ok doorstop) to proprietary hardware and vendor lockin. I was forced to service these back in the early 90's and Lego style connections are unstable after a short time in use.

  3. Re:"FB Trying To Fight Spam"... yeah, sure. on Mark Cuban: Facebook Is Driving Away Brands — Starting With Mine · · Score: 1

    Spoiled rich guy wants a discount, a tiny seed of rebellion is now planted with the other rich guys. Egos to full inflation, after much masturbation nothing meaningful is accomplished because its Facebook. What the hell are Dallas Maverics anyway?

  4. Re:OH - Akron - 5 mins on U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience? · · Score: 1

    Moved my polling place for the third time in 25 years. I voted for issue 2 to maybe get gerrymandering under a little less partisan control. Poll workers didn't notice expired drivers license, had backup id for an adjacent precinct.

  5. Re:Put the shoe on the other foot on JPL Employee's Firing Wasn't Due To Intelligent Design Advocacy, Says Judge · · Score: 2

    Pushy people are everywhere, my kids school got all PC or something when they tried to get the monsters out of Halloween. There was a wave of angry traditional style parents that told them to get off it. Like politicians they will keep trying when they think no one's looking. And yeah, the christmas party was good enough for a few thousand years whats with this holiday shit. Some days it really feels like 1984.

  6. Re:Go read Dale Carnegie's book on Ask Slashdot: Rectifying Nerd Arrogance? · · Score: 1

    Pick up a copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People".

    I lost a book titled "How to lose friends and alienate people" published around the 1930's. It was about getting worthless people out of your life through crazy erratic behavior. I miss that book.

    Wait, this isn't the presidential debate thread?

  8. Life is like a horserace on Is Non-Prescription ADHD Medication Use Ever Ethical? · · Score: 1

    The race is faster when you hop up all the ponies on speed. But its still the same field of ponies, the only winners are the ones running the race.

  9. Re:Power steering isn't a safety feature. on $3,000 Tata Nano Car Coming To US · · Score: 2

    ABS is pretty much needed now

    ABS doesn't result in shorter braking distance, its purpose is to maintain steering control during hard braking. A well trained driver can stop in a shorter distance without it. On dry pavement with good traction ABS is a nuisance for anyone with skills.

  10. Re:The "not built here" lobby on Successful Engine Test in UK For Planned 1000 mph Car · · Score: 1

    I think most of us on Slashdot have strapped a model rocket engine to a model car. Mostly we learned its good for a laugh.

  11. Re:A real IT room. on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Include In a New Building? · · Score: 1

    Lastly, assume the contractor and architect are morons. you must spell out your needs exactly.

    Someones always nearby helping you save money, beware of them. I've seen a jail's upper floor sewage lines routed above the sever room. (think shit storm) A different jail whose door security network that was supposedly separate from the IT network. A legal office whose IT network virus knocked out the Voip sharing the LAN.

    The real scary thing is I know there's something we've all missed, radioactive ferrets?

  13. Re:Add weight on Ask Slashdot: Hacking Urban Noise? · · Score: 1

    Yes, a room inside the room not firmly attached to the main structure. Any windows should be 3ft radiation proof like and leaded. Maybe a windows made of multiple sealed panes filled with sulfur hexafluoride, also very thick. The window will be a real money pit, you should consider losing them.

  14. Re:They have to ban Windows in EU on EU Set To Charge Microsoft Over Ruling Breach · · Score: 1

    Oh wow, somebody forgot to add something ...

    Yeah, corporations forget safety and regulatory rules all the time, just an honest mistake. They accidentally gave the worldwide regulations monkey the day off. Please adjust your tinfoil, its burrowing into your brain.

  15. Re:What media? on DNC Salute to Vets Featured Backdrop Of Russian Warships · · Score: 2

    the D's are closer to this than the R's are.

    Osama bin shithead punches biggest bully on the planet in the nose. Your country hides aforementioned shitheads, then screaming techno death reigns down from the sky. Try to look outraged when other bullies look the other way.

    Moral: don't associate with shitheads, their death magnets.

  17. Re:You know what would be cool? on Ask Slashdot: Teaching Typing With Limited Electricity, Computers? · · Score: 2

    Two kids per keyboard, one to touch type, the second to hit him when the wrong key is pressed. Kids are plentiful, they make great computer substitutes.

  18. Re:Do it already on The Implications of Google Restricting Access To Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 1

    If Muslims (:o:) admire censorship then censor all Islamic references from the web. We wouldn't want to accidentally offend them. When one kid on the playground can't play well with others, the others usually won't play with them. Come on Google, Wikipedia, try a censor Islam day. Next Christianity.

  19. Re:Enhanced Pat Down on DHS Gets Public Comment, Whether It Wants It Or Not · · Score: 1

    Yep, the best way to keep your pat down short is to look like you are enjoying it.

    Repeat over and over in a soft voice "Please don't get a boner, please don't get a boner".

  20. Re:give credit where credit is due on EVE Online CSM and Diplomat Killed in Libyan Consulate Attacks · · Score: 1

    I don't think they released this film in Egypt or Libya so they must have seen the torrent version. To all religious shitheads: when on the interwebs you might see stuff you don't like. Put on your big boy pants and deal, or just turn the web off and stagnate. Now where's my porn? (:0:)

  21. Re:Uh, ever seen a national politician's website? on Look-Alike Web Sites Hoodwink Republican Donors · · Score: 1

    Uh, no. This just proves Washington lobbyists are pretty bad at what they purportedly "do for a living".

    That's because nobody asked him about the hookers x blow + cash needed for congressmen.

    First step - make a back-up.

    Second step - put the originals somewhere safe and use the back-up disks

    Third step - Get floppy files stored to a hard drive or network share if the install program could be fooled into using it.

    Fourth step - making a network boot floppy for server os du jour, and never using those install floppies again.
