  1. Re:weakly disguised hit-piece on How Steve Jobs Outsmarted Carly Fiorina · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Fiorina couldn't lead lemmings to a cliff. Given the two bad alternatives, I'd have to choose Trump.

  2. If you REALLY want to be "for the public benefit". on Why Kickstarter Became a Public Benefit Corporation (Video) · · Score: 1

    Start vetting your projects better. I've funded four projects, only one of which saw the light of day. And that one was almost as bad as the Kreyos I funded at Indiegogo. Quite frankly, I'm done with crowdfunding until IGG and KS start vetting instead of letting any scammer with a post box drop and a slick video to start a campaign.

  3. Re: (intentionally blank) on Epson's 'Empty' Professional-Grade Cartridges Can Have 20 Per Cent of Their Ink Remaining · · Score: 1

    >1. It flatly refuses to print at all if any of the carts are empty - a number of times I've been unable to print important black & white documents because one of the colour carts is empty and I didn't have a replacement to hand. Switch from color printing to black and white in the driver. It will print in B&W fine. I've owned many Epson printers, never had an issue doing this.

  4. Somebody tell this guy..... on How American Students Can Get a University Degree For Free In Germany · · Score: 1
  5. Re:not the real question on Chris Roberts Is the Least Important Part of the Airplane Hacking Story · · Score: 1

    Can you point out your source for saying this? I haven't seen a single article that mentions anything other than live flights. He was asked by the FBI to create a simulator to test security but that isn't where he claimed he got into the seat box from the OES to avionics. If I misesd something, I like to be able to be informed. If I didn't, then it would appear that your assertion is incorrect. I'm just looking for facts, not saying you're wrong.

  6. Three words that should strike fear in your heart on Bitcoin Arrives At NYSE, Startup Aims To Tackle Micropayments and Easy Mining · · Score: 1

    Bitcoins and Wall Street. There's been enough stories about scams and losses with Bitcoin - disappearing exchanges, vaporized money. Now we're going to pair amateur scammers with professional dirtbags. No fucking thanks. (Flame all you want, but I'll save them to remind you later when I turn out to be right.)

  7. Don't believe everything on the internet on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Skills Do HS Students Need To Know Now? · · Score: 2

    Kids need to know the difference between verifiable reference material and crap. Just because more people agree with one view on a forum or comments section doesn't neceesarliy make it a fact. Foxnews.com is a perfect example of this. So is MSNBC.com Just because it's on wikipedia doesn't mean it's true. Learn critical thinking and be able to know what questions to ask and where to go to find out. Kids know how to use the hardware - they need to engage the wetwear.

  8. Hipster on Does Using an AOL Email Address Suggest You're a Tech Dinosaur? · · Score: 1

    I have an aol.com address ironically.

  9. Re:Controversial because? on Bill Gates Still Trying To Buy Some Common Core Testing Love · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's controversial because it takes away time from teaching anything but the test, associated implementation and support costs are enormous and the only ones truly benefitting from this are the test manufacturers like Pearson... who also make the books for studying and the certifications for the teachers and even the GED certs so they have you one way or the other. Full disclosure; I am an independant consultant who works in IT a few days a week for a major school district and I am seeing this from the inside. If you'd like another perspective, I suggest going to YouTube and searching on John Olver's take. Funny, but at the same time chilling.

  10. How do you accuse anonymous? on Anonymous Accused of Running a Botnet Using Thousands of Hacked Home Routers · · Score: 1

    It's a loose collective with no centrally organized leadership. How do you accuse a group of something that they, as a group, have no control over? How do you prosecute anarchy?

  11. Re:danger vs taste on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    Where did *you* get that conclusion from what I said? Please re-read before commenting.

  12. And you KNOW.... on The Sun Newspaper Launches Anonymous Tor-Based WikiLeaks-Style SecureDrop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...you can trust Murdoch with your privacy because he's demonstrated it so well in the past. TOR isn't the issue here, NewsCorp's ethics is.

  13. Re:danger vs taste on Pepsi To Stop Using Aspartame · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that the Double Big Mac Combo itself is fine, healthy and calorie/fat free? Because if you aren't then your reply isn't "Nope", it's "Yes you're correct and these things (that you are describing like insulin and gut bacteria) make it worse.... etc."

    Neither of them are healthy and I haven't seen the inside of a McDonalds in years.

  14. Re:Ah, these activist judges! on Update: No Personhood for Chimps Yet · · Score: 4, Funny

    Despite making poor judicial precedent, I see a great Disney movie blossoming out of this.

    What's next? A judgement against the internet on behalf of cats everywhere?

    I can haz a cut of da profits?

  15. Re:Why on the ISS? on ISS Could Be Fitted With Lasers To Shoot Down Space Junk · · Score: 0

    That's no moon.....

  16. Re:Yeah, yeah... on Researchers Design a Self-Powered Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    A kidding aside, this would make a lousy IoT camera - unless the capacitor is going to store enough to run the cam and an IR source. Most IoT/Smarthome users like to monitor things at night as well...

  17. What a dick move.

  18. Re:NO MORE!!!!! on Has the Bitcoin Foundation Run Out of Cash? · · Score: 1
    Ha ha! That's really funny!! Take you awhile to come up with that pithy comment?
    Can you now comment on the substance? Here's a list of a few of the latest Bitcoin articles on /.:

    Has the Bitcoin Foundation Run Out of Cash?

    Bitcoin In China Still Chugging Along, a Year After Clampdown

    Silk Road Investigators Charged With Stealing Bitcoin

    Evolution Market's Admins Are Gone, Along With $12M In Bitcoin

    Another Bitcoin Exchange Fraud

    So tell me why Bitcoin should be 'still a thing'... besides a cautionary tale?

  19. NO MORE!!!!! on Has the Bitcoin Foundation Run Out of Cash? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Can we just all agree that this was over before it started and move on? I'd hate to have to write a script to remove any articles with BitCoin in them from view like I did with the Kardashians...

  20. Re:caveat emptor on Wikipedia Admin's Manipulation "Messed Up Perhaps 15,000 Students' Lives" · · Score: 0

    So I guess the entire Indian media didn't cover any of this at all? Total news/periodical media, television and radio black out on any news at all about this school? What are people to do when the Internet is your only source of information; read or talk to each other?

  21. Just a thought... on A Bechdel Test For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Nonetheless, both startups and larger companies could find the modified Bechdel Test a useful tool for opening up a discussion about gender balance within engineering and development teams.

    Or you could just, you know, write good code and make that the thing that matters.

    I am Jack's complete and total lack of surprise...

    Then the nipple deniers win.

  25. Re:"Better safe than sorry" right?? on Nipples, Terrorism, and Sexual Descriptions - Facebook's List of Banned Content · · Score: 1

    The point your missing is while the censorship itself is always a problem, the real problem is that the simple act of putting something outrageous on YouTube or even TV always needs to be prefaced with the idiot protection disclaimer, "don't try this at home" or some variation thereof. How stupid have we become as a society that we actually have to tell the stupider amongst us that this isn't a good idea to emulate?
