  1. Re: Poor Nazis on Twitter Suspends American Far-Right Activists' Accounts (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Twitter is not a constitutional right. The hate mongering nazi groups are not being silenced, just disagreed with. They are free to make their own twitter.

  2. H-1B worker displacement... on Evidence That H-1B Holders Don't Replace US Workers · · Score: 1

    I would need to know who paid for the study in question. I'm guessing it was a group of companies with massive H-1B worker staffs. What were the criteria of the study? Walmart would actually have to pay H-1B workers more than citizens due to the low rates of pay historically found in their company. Fast food chain workers need not fear H-1B workers for the same reason. If you look in the IT sector, we have more than enough workers and pay rates have stayed static while the cost of living has gone up for the last ten years. Yet corporations look to H-1B to fill holes in their staff because it's cheaper and they will work unpaid extra hours out of fear that they will be fired if they don't.

  3. Re:Can't even keep his own lies straight on Top Advisor To Australian Gov't Says Climate Change is a UN Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    I can vouch for the stupidity of the UN. I know people in IT there. They still have asbestos in their buildings! Their staff constantly opens attachments from unknown sources and spammers and get infected and hacked. A hidden conspiracy of world domination would be more successful in the hands of school children! And it would not have to be terribly bright school children!

  4. Tinfoil hat party... on Top Advisor To Australian Gov't Says Climate Change is a UN Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    It seems obvious that this man has gotten a massive cash influx from private interest groups headed by manufacturing concerns. It should buy him plenty of tinfoil hats, but not his dignity back!

  5. Re:Really?!? on Orson Scott Card Pleads 'Tolerance' For Ender's Game Movie · · Score: 1

    Let us not forget, early childbirth, at the age of physical maturity, leads to termination of the education. Even women who have children in their early 20's tend to halt their education. They are also too immature to make an insightful choice of mate. Polygamists who practice child marriage solve this issue by their leader allocating preteen girls to the richest men in their congregations to curry favor and garner bigger donations to their church. The young girls become the equivalent of sex slaves. If our population was falling off and we were running out of warm bodies to keep our civilization going, polygamy (not child wives) would make sense since one man can impregnate an astounding number of women in one year, but only one child is the most women can produce in a year. If you look at how many marriages fail between people of young, but legal age compared to how many who marry in their mid to late 20's or later, there is a big difference. The younger the people in the marriage, the higher the odds it will end badly. The real issue though, is his absolute bigotry against homosexuals. He is a hate monger. Gay people do not do any damage to marriage. I have been married for almost 15 years. I have had gay friends in fairly large numbers for most of my adult life. Yet, I have never doubted that I wanted to marry a woman. I have met gay couples with children. They were actually great parents and wonderful examples of how to have a happy and fruitful marriage. In fact, OSC makes a big deal about being a Mormon. Yet I have sat down with more than one Mormon who scoffed at his claims and boldly stated that he knew nothing of his own church. One of them was recently returned from his two year mission!

  6. Re:Internet Explorer on Ask Slashdot: Most Secure Browser In an Age of Surveillance? · · Score: 1

    IE10 and 11 are superb browses. They containing many very good tactics to secure the browser and computer, for example, true sandboxing and JIT hardening. Most other browsers don't come even close. Secondly, the sandboxing means that IE is usually able to block an attack on plug-ins like the Flash Player and JAVA VM. This alone makes surfing with IE remarkably safe. IE really is an different kind of beast in the sea of mediocre browsers. It has come long way and is aiming for the top. - John Futura Security Consultant

    I'm afraid you missed the question entirely. M$ gives the NSA access to anyting and everything. They ignore your supposed "security" entirely. The author is asking about browsers that the government does NOT have a back door code for.

  7. Re:What's there to dispute? on Microsoft Files Dispute Against Current Owner of XboxOne.com · · Score: 1

    The problem is not the money here, it is the bad precedent it sets, Domain Squatting is a plague that needs to be stamped out, not rewarded. If however it is a fan site or such that was created with a legitimate purpose THEN and only then should MS be paying off the site owner.

    It was a fan site. It is going default because of the dispute. M$ is just abusing their power and riches. They take what they want when they want.

  8. Re:I could never defend a cyber squatter on Microsoft Files Dispute Against Current Owner of XboxOne.com · · Score: 1

    He was using it. It was a fansite. It goes to a default page now because it is in dispute.

  9. M$ loves to violate other people's rights... on Microsoft Files Dispute Against Current Owner of XboxOne.com · · Score: 1

    This is nothing new. M$ has been convicted of software piracy in the past. Now, they will pay off anyone they can to take away the domain that one of their own fanboys set up years ago. I have seen the site before it was disabled. It was a site for XBox gamers that reviewed the games and game systems and gave advice. Now, all this user gets is the shaft.

  10. People Eat The Animals on PETA Wants To Sue Anonymous HuffPo Commenters · · Score: 1

    PETA constantly creates their own version of the truth. SO of course they think they can sue someone from speaking a truth they don't like.

  11. Stick it to the big guy... on DRM Lawsuit Filed By Independent Bookstores Against Amazon, "Big Six" Publishers · · Score: 1

    The stores in question should get involved in print on demand... Espresso book machines would make them popular with people who have to resort to self publishing. It would allow them to print obscure and out of print books and it would make it so that they would only have to stock paper and ink. The stores could still do a booming business in used books too and would not need the square footage a big chain needs to carry the same number of books since the POD books are held as data until printed.

  12. Re:Fatties of the world... on FDA Approves New Drug for Type 2 Diabetes · · Score: 1

    Too bad there isn't a drug to help the people who insult others rather than find out the facts before speaking huh?

  13. Re:Invisible Job Benefits on The Engine of US Jobs · · Score: 1

    Such benefits are truly "invisible" because most US workers no longer see such benefits. When they do, it is at full cost to themselves. Gone are the days of companies paying for an employee's insurance (unless a union is involved).

  14. Re:Back Of The Bus With You on Is There Still Racism in IT Hiring Practices? · · Score: 1

    I happen to be in charge of a 45+ agent helpdesk. I am one of the five white people in the entire staff. My boss is black. It is utter nonsense to say that the reason for not having staff of an ethnicity is that there are none qualified in that group. None of my best agents or team leads are white. In fact, the worst agent working for me is white! Racist hiring has nothing to do with the skills of the applicant. If you can do the job best, you are the one I want working for me.
