  1. Re: Yay for "zero tolerance" on Texas Boy Suspended For "Threatening" Classmate With the One Ring · · Score: 1

    I recommended searching for the "Even I am not above the policy..." Seinfeld excerpt. Sadly I cannot find it anywhere right now.

  2. Re:Perhaps at last an affordable mini PC? on Tiny Fanless Mini-PC Runs Linux Or Windows On Quad-core AMD SoC · · Score: 1
  3. "Defikopter?" on Project Ryptide Drone Flies Life-Rings To Distressed Swimmers · · Score: 1

    Is anyone else getting a laugh out of this?

  4. Re:Totally Agree on The Open Office Is Destroying the Workplace · · Score: 1

    I might thrive in such an environment, except that in that case you would be utterly, completely dependent on the client/employer for providing you with meaningful, satisfying work. If they fail to do so, as many employers do, that might make for some looooong work days.

  5. Re:Sales on What Will Microsoft's "Embrace" of Open Source Actually Achieve? · · Score: 1

    Yeah I'm guessing they make their frameworks nice and open, but certain things like Visual Studio go on costing a pretty penny.

  6. Re:Younger Generations on SCOTUS To Weigh Smartphone Searches By Police · · Score: 1

    In my purely anecdotal experience, it is the older folks who are far worse about holding authoritarian viewpoints, never questioning their assumption that if the gov't wants/needs any particular power then that want/need is completely legitimate, etc. Every person who has told me "Snowden is a traitor" has been > 50 yrs old.

  7. Re:configuration languages on Linux 3.13 Released · · Score: 1

    You should use Javascript.

  8. Re:See what happens when leftists are in Charge? on Federal Court Kills Net Neutrality, Says FCC Lacks Authority. · · Score: 1

    Name a system of government in which people are effectively prevented from making backroom deals which benefit them.

  9. Re:No, the worst part was joining in the attack on Anonymous Member Sentenced For Joining DDoS Attack For One Minute · · Score: 1

    This issue is a matter of the proportionality of the punishment, not whether the person was "arrested."

  10. Re:why didnt Snowden use Wikileaks??? on Snowden Publishes "A Manifesto For the Truth" · · Score: 1

    Wow. Some of your comments feel like they should be famous quotations.

  11. Re:Poor, poor Ed... on Snowden Seeks International Help Against US Espionage Charges · · Score: 1

    The U.S. people, for the most part, don't spy on the U.S. Government or its intelligence agencies. So there are some parties involved who retain the right to some valid indignation.

  12. Re:So they are moving up the wiring eh? on Fighting Paralysis With Electricity · · Score: 1

    Why would you want to knock the guy over?

  13. Re:My spider sense in tingling.... on British NHS May Soon No Longer Offer Free Care · · Score: 1

    How about for every other type of non-acute medical treatment then?

  14. Esther Schindler writes on How To Turn Your Pile of Code Into an Open Source Project · · Score: 1

    "I could have done more . . . open source!"

  15. If they won't even let me pay... on TV Show Piracy Soars After CBS Blackout · · Score: 1

    ... I'll PirateBay

  16. In my experience older programmers are better on Ask Slashdot: Becoming a Programmer At 40? · · Score: 1

    ... though not without exception. I would select interview candidates based on their apparent skill and intelligence, and would select the *older* candidate as a tie breaker.

  17. Re:Career on Ask Slashdot: Handing Over Personal Work Without Compensation? · · Score: 1

    How much? Where do you draw the line?

  18. Re:This is why I will never trust cloud services on IT Pros Can't Resist Peeking At Privileged Info · · Score: 1

    Not true. I have had plenty of access to such information and have always avoided looking at it. It's immoral.

    It doesn't help the situation that ONE person hasn't looked at privileged information. The situation is only helped if no one peeks at the info, which could only be the case if proper access control measures and auditing are implemented.

  19. Dang on FDIC Closes Netbank, One of the First Online Banks · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it is a shame that they went under. I was with them for almost 100% of my almost 11 year military career which just ended, and needless to say, I appreciated the worldwide accessibility of their system, as well as the nice online bill payment options. I was very happy with their service right up until the FDIC notice was posted on their website. The customer service was good and the lack of fees was nice, and they even had a few ATMs in my local area. No, I didn't lose anything in this process and I am still able to log in to the same website pretty much seamlessly, but of course I'll be looking for some other banking option here in the near future.
