  1. THEY TOOK OUR JERBS! on Indian IT Sector Warns Against US Visa Bill (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Obligatory South Park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    Except this time it's the Indians complaining that Americans are taking their jobs. Still hilarious.

  2. Re:It means don't replace Americans with cheaper H on Trump's Next Immigration Move To Affect H-1B Visas; Require Tech Companies To Try To Hire Americans First: Bloomberg (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Do you think XYZ Corp hasn't already done the math on whether its cheaper to offshore? They have. Repeatedly. All of them. Many did offshore. XYZ Corp isn't importing cheap H1Bs because it's cheaper than offshoring, its because it needs a domestic American presence - particularly for customer requirements.

  3. Re:I wonder how many steps it takes on Fitness Wearable Maker Fitbit To Cut Six-Percent of Its Staff Following a Disappointing Q4 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You sir, win the internet today.

  4. See it from their point of view: Homeopathy uses the same logic as vaccines.

  5. What? Good grief.

    We're talking about political power. If someone as disastrous as Brianna Wu can get elected to Congress running on a platform of "The FBI should have jailed that kid that made threatening phone calls" then ...

    You know what? Just nevermind. My point has flown over your head.

  6. If she wins, I'm going to decide I'm a gender, age, and race fluid opposer of rape culture and despite having the outward physical appearance of a 40 year old chubby white man, I'm actually a gender fluid intelligence that identifies as younger than my physical projection and am black - and that on behalf of trans-gender and oppressed races everywhere, I'm running for Congress as well. #SJW2018

  7. No one gives a fuck on Running For Congress, Brianna Wu Criticizes The FBI's GamerGate Report (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Lady, no one gives a fuck. Do something about hunger, or world peace, or H1Bs, or unemployment, or campaign corruption, or lobbyists, or something that matters.

    If you want to pick a fight with the FBI, maybe pick on the DOJ + FBI failure to prosecute Hilary for selling access to our government, taking bribes, or violating national security by dispersing classified information?

  8. Common Sense At Work on Ransomware Infects a Hotel's Key System (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Welp folks, since we're not willing to use common sense in deploying our electronic systems to ensure their security and integrity, we're going to abandon digital and go back to mechanical.

    With this challenge out of the way, we're looking at resolving the parking lot conundrum by bringing back horse buggies. To prevent our central heating and air from being hacked, we're uninstalling it and putting fireplaces and fans in all the rooms.

  9. Re:Do the right thing - stand against Trump's bigo on Trump's Executive Order Eliminates Privacy Act Protections For Foreigners (whitehouse.gov) · · Score: 1

    Every time someone posts that "California pays for all the mid-country rednecks" , I feel like the internet gets stupider.

    http://www.mercurynews.com/201...

    California doesn't pay for the rest of the economy. California has been so deep in debt from spending money it doesn't have that it can't even count the debt anymore. Here's an in-depth look at California's state finances: https://ballotpedia.org/Califo....

    The Feds throw California another 30% on top of their budget, and they their arrears are astonishing.

    I'm not anti-California or pro-anywhere-else.... but Jesus. Find something worth bragging on. It's not California's Revenue vs. Expenditures or money management skills - because the only competition California has for financial mismanagement is New York and Detroit.

  10. Re:He seems to be completely bananas... on Elon Musk Says He'll Start Digging a Tunnel From SpaceX HQ Next Month (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Are you asserting that Trump's orange skin is actually an inner fire, glowing out from behind fleshy curtains?

  11. Re:I don't agree on Google Bans 200 Publishers From Its Ad Network (recode.net) · · Score: 2

    I'll see your bet sir, and raise you a brownie point. http://thefreethoughtproject.c...

    Here's CNN telling us that it's illegal for us to read wikileaks, and that we must only receive their interpretation of it.

    Or if you don't like that one, you can google any combination of "CNN Fake news" or "CNN discredited" or NBC / MSNBC / pick your choice.

  12. Re:In rural areas, wanted increase from 10 to 25Mb on Trump's FCC Chairman Pick Ajit Pai Vows To Close Broadband 'Digital Divide' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Sorry, who the FUCK was the sane candidate? Because it wasn't Trump or Clinton.

  13. Re:He seems to be completely bananas... on Elon Musk Says He'll Start Digging a Tunnel From SpaceX HQ Next Month (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    You misunderstand.

    If he digs deeply enough, government won't know about it. Unless he delves too deeply and awaken a Balrog. Then he can blame it on Trump.

  14. Your English classes were labor-intensive - and I also saw a basket-weaving class working particularly hard and dextrously.

    I'm sure the industriousness of all participants in their respective English and basket-weaving will weigh in during their job-search to offset the fact that they pursued those majors.

  15. While that is funny...

    I'd much prefer that college was free - like it should be - and is in most first world countries - and that instead, the sponsored state/federal institutions didn't offer feminist dance theory or gender studies - and that you could instead elect to go to a private institution for some crap like that.

  16. I enjoy it when "Fortnights" make it into subject lines and article summaries. I also enjoy "Forsooth" and "Begorrah."

    The occasional "Limey!" But I haven't seen one of those in a fortnight.

  17. Is Wine Useful? on Wine 2.0 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Questions from the masses:

    1. Can I open Chrome in it and watch netflix / other streaming services that people watch?
    2. Can I download Steam on it and play a library of games without running into driver issues?

    Especially #2.

  18. And those 35,000 twitter-bots spam a message to all the other twitter bots, fake accounts, and the occasional IRL tardface who owns a twitter account.

    I still don't see the point.

  19. I follow no accounts, on no topics - nor do I have a single tweet. Nor do I have an account. In fact, I don't even get the point of twitter. Insert twit joke.

  20. Shut Up Asteroid! on NASA Names an Asteroid After 'Star Trek' Actor Wil Wheaton (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    Now we can tell an asteroid to shut up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    Unless Will hears about it and gets triggered. https://www.reddit.com/r/Dayst...

    Then he'll block you. https://twitter.com/wilw/statu...

  21. Congrats Wyoming! on New Wyoming Bill Penalizes Utilities Using Renewable Energy (csmonitor.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now if we could just get Wyoming to also pass a bill to put up a wall around the state, then send the bill Colorado. Then they could put a dome on the wall and send the bill for that to Utah.

    No walls, no gates, no windows. Must contain the tard.

  22. Re: News for Nazis on Donald Trump Is Sworn In As the 45th US President (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Bernie could have won in a landslide...

    Don't kid yourself. If the democrats had fielded a banana with a smiley face drawn on it, we would now have a fruity president.

    Not likely - in the 95% of America that isn't a wildly liberal anti-gun and crime-free metropolis, we have guns.

  24. Re:What complete nonsense on NASA Is Planning Mission To An Asteroid Worth $10 Quintillion (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    You misunderstand. The asteroid has bank accounts worth 10 quintillion space bucks, and we're going to go try hacking the asteroid to steal it's money. Obviously bringing all that iron ore back to earth wouldn't give us 10 quadrillion bucks!

  25. Dear Slashdot editors:

    If you keep making a story for every "A company lied" instance, the front page will be non-stop company lying spam and there will be no news for nerds. Or things that matter.

    This is neither. Note the absence of comments as people continue to care less about stories like this.
