  1. subject on Obama Wants $1 Billion For "Master Teachers Corps" · · Score: 1

    Let's see who kills it first: the democrats, quietly after the elections, or the republicans, loudly and with much grandstanding.

  2. Re:I bought a PS3 because of XBOX Live... on The Ugly, Profitable Details About Xbox Live Advertising · · Score: 1

    "why the hell would anyone want to pay for that crap?"

    Because as bad as it is, it isn't fucking Sony.

  3. I'm confused on Facebook "Like" System Devalued By Fake Users · · Score: 1

    What value did Facebook's popularity button ever have?

  4. Re:Hmmm... on $1.2 Million Ultimate Games Collection · · Score: 1

    We had floppy-based systems for SNES and Genesis. About time someone updated that to use flash drives.

  5. Re:Security Awareness Fail on DNSChanger Shut-Down Means Internet Blackout Coming For Hundreds of Thousands · · Score: 1

    You also missed a step.

    Just pretend to be from the FBI, get your fake site on all the news shows, papers and internet news outlets for a week or two, tell them "your machine is infected", send them to such a site, and you can infect them all you want.

  6. subject on Church of Scientology Enlisting Followers In Censorship · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Apparently, the recent very public divorce of Katie Holmes and devout believer Tom Cruise is reflecting negatively on the Church of Scientology."

    More negatively than the deaths Scientology has caused? That must have been some breakup.

  7. subject on Activision Turning The Walking Dead Into a First-Person Shooter · · Score: 2

    Well it's a good thing zombies weren't completely played out 5 years ago, otherwise this would just seem pathetic.

  8. Re:Not the best spokesman on Ron Paul's New Primary Goal Is "Internet Freedom" · · Score: 1

    "He has some good ideas"

    No he doesn't.

  9. "New plan" my ass on Feds Plan 'Fog of Disinformation' To Track Information Leaks · · Score: 1

    This is a very old plan using new tech.

  10. Re:Texas eh? on Texas Scientists Regret Loss of Higgs Boson Quest · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Senate votes cited were to PRESERVE funding for the SSC.

    From the link GP posted:

    "AMENDMENT PURPOSE:
    To reduce funds for General Science and Research Activities and terminate the Superconducting Super Collider program for the purposes of reducing the deficit in the Federal Budget. "

    Don't tout Google if you can't even report what you find accurately.

    Don't lie on the internet when google is a tab away, dumb fuck And the mod who voted parent up: you're exactly as dishonest, if not an outright sock puppet.

  11. subject on Ask Slashdot: How Does Your Company Evaluate Your Performance? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I believe my company has the same system, only the complete gutting of bonuses years ago and the fact that a stellar rating gets you around 0.3% more on the pathetic annual salary increase means that no one cares.

    My last performance review contained two directly contradictory statements from my manager, in what I suspect was an uncorrected cut-and-paste from the previous year. I didn't bring it up, because either way I was getting the same shitty raise. That's motivation for you.

  12. Give me a fucking break on New Mac Virus Discovered, Making the Rounds · · Score: 3, Funny

    Kaspersky discovered that if users willingly execute files that turn out to be malicious, their computers will be backdoored.

    In other news, I discovered that fire produces heat. Please front-page this important announcement immediately.

  13. Re:subject on Ask Slashdot: Good Low Cost Free Software For Protecting Kids Online? · · Score: 1

    "Seriously, give up the control freakery"

    My kid is 8, as are the kids of OP. It's not 'control freakery' to keep the computer in the living room so that I can keep an eye on where he's browsing (I'm not concerned about tits, I'm concerned about things like rotten.com). I would hope you're not closely monitoring your 19-year-old daughter, since she's an adult and can do what she wants.

  14. subject on Ask Slashdot: Good Low Cost Free Software For Protecting Kids Online? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Firefox, AdBlockPro, Noscript, and the computer in the living room.

  15. ideas on Ask Slashdot: Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy For Kids? · · Score: 1

    Madeleine L'Engel's series. Isaac and Janet Asimov's "The Norby Chronicles". At least the first couple of Narnia books (my at the time 7-year-old got bored with the third, YMMV). Harry Potter. Bone, the epic comic fantasy from Jeff Smith.

  16. Funny, my .avi files still fast forward perfectly. Of course, I have no commercials to worry about, but the option's still there.

  17. dumb fuck on FunnyJunk Sues the Oatmeal Over TM and "Incitement To Cyber-Vandalism" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "You can't encourage people to [...] associate me with incompetence with stupidity, and douchebaggery."

    No, that was all you. You vomit-smeared, feckless pile of yak shit.

  18. subject on Ask Slashdot: How To Evacuate a Network · · Score: 1

    "What is the best way to load 50+ workstations, 6 servers, IP phones, networking gear, printers and wireless equipment into a 17-foot U-Haul?"

    Elbow grease.

    Alternate answer: talent.

    Alternate alternate answer: you should have asked Slashdot (or a consultant) when you were putting together your DR plan. That's not something you want to throw together at the last possible moment before your shit gets disastered.

  19. Re:HOOKER! on Why Your IT Department Needs To Staff a Hacker · · Score: 1

    I read it that way too. "Yes, please."

  20. subject on The Billions In Mobile Ad Money Nobody Can Grab · · Score: 1

    "The whole advertising industry [...] simply may not be equipped to cope."

    My heart fucking bleeds for these worthless parasites.

  21. subject on Patent Granted on Mandatory Digital Keys to Prevent Textbook Piracy · · Score: 1

    Maybe make textbooks cost less than what a student can pay for food over two months and they'll start buying more of them.

  22. Re:FB Phone OS on Facebook Smartphone a Dumb Idea, Says Farhad Manjoo · · Score: 1

    It's just RIM, and I hear their engineers get pretty good benefits. Some day I, too, would like a RIM job.

  23. Re:~79%? on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 1

    Compare and contrast with the modern American version of Jesus as a Rambo-like figure shooting Khomeni in the face with an M-16.

  24. Re:The reason Christianity has this problem. on In America, 46% of People Hold a Creationist View of Human Origins · · Score: 1

    "All of the Catholics I know disagree with one or more tenants of Catholicism."

    Are the rooms reasonable? I've been looking to find new lodging soon.

  25. Re:I think I have an answer.... on IT Positions Some of the Toughest Jobs To Fill In US · · Score: 1

    I don't know that that's the issue where recruiters are concerned. I've had recruiters try to headhunt me for positions that required experience in tech I didn't have at the time, as detailed on my resume, to the point where I no longer accept email from recruiters. I've never dealt with a single one who wasn't an idiot. Frankly, I don't think recruiters are capable of even following a simple checklist of keywords.
