  1. Re:Yet Another Symptom of a Flawed Business Model on IT Positions Some of the Toughest Jobs To Fill In US · · Score: 1

    "A good HR department has to be willing to put in the effort to find good candidates."

    There are good ones now?

  2. Re:None of this specific stuff should be illegal on Quantifying the Risk of Texting Drivers · · Score: 1

    "Just how is a cop going to prove that is what you were doing? Maybe you were looking at a map."

    Whether you're texting or looking at a map, driving with your eyes off the road is the opposite of driving safely.

  3. "What do you have?" on Ask Slashdot: Wrist Watch For the Tech Minded · · Score: 1

    I have a watch. It displays the time.

  4. Re:It's the hypocricy on Leave Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson Alone! · · Score: 1

    "The hidden threat here is that if Yahoo does not act, then the disgruntled investors would go to SEC and complain and that then the CEO would be criminally prosecuted."

    Interesting. It might be time for me to go buy a share of Yahoo stock.

  5. Lousy kids on Leave Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson Alone! · · Score: 1

    "But mooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmm! They did it fiiiiirssssst!"

  6. This is stunning news that shocks absolutely no one.

  7. Re:Did they not learn..... on B&N Pulls Linux Format Magazine Over Feature On 'Hacking' · · Score: 1

    [citation needed]

    The first 100 hits from

    https://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=%22barnes+and+noble%22+%222600%22+%22lawsuit%22

    don't mention anything about lawsuits, threatened or otherwise, from 2600 to B&N.

  8. Nope, doesn't pass the smell test on B&N Pulls Linux Format Magazine Over Feature On 'Hacking' · · Score: 1

    B&N has carried 2600 for years, and made a point of responding to complaints that employees were supposedly hiding the magazine behind others. As a bookstore they are in the habit of selling books (and magazines), not pulling sellable items off the shelf because of an alleged complaint.

    On the other hand, I'm glad the UK publisher of Linux Format found a novel new way to freely advertise their material.

  9. subject on Bethesda Announces Elder Scrolls MMO · · Score: 1

    "set a millennium before the events of Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal tries to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm."

    Spoiler: he doesn't succeed.

  10. Re:Don't wish higher taxes on Apple on How Apple Sidesteps Billions In Global Taxes · · Score: 1

    "no, I can't prove it"

    Then why did you make the claim?

  11. subject on Terminal Mixup Implicates TSA Agents In LAX Smuggling Plot · · Score: 1

    I know the focus of this story is on how shitty the TSA is, but may I just point out that, thank god this smuggler didn't get the goods on board? Why, the whole plane might have exploded or crashed into a populated area with this dangerous explosive compound...excuse me for a moment. What's that? It wasn't dangerous material? Then what was...oh.

    Never mind.

  12. Re:Foreigners? on House Passes CISPA · · Score: 1

    "Could someone explain if I need to move large amounts of data and services out of the USA now please?"

    Yes, you do. Explain to the powers that be why you're doing it, too, which could help defeat the Senate's bill (in the US, both houses of Congress must approve bills before they go to the president for veto or passage).

  13. Re:Ohhhhhh! on Billionaires and Polymaths Expected To Unveil a Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    He's Ross Perot, Jr.'s father. Duh.

  14. Won't somebody think of the children? on Frogger Synchronized To Real-Life Traffic · · Score: 0

    Typical, another videogame that encourages youngsters to endanger themselves by running into traffic. Why, when I was a lad I almost got killed by a spider trying to play real-life Centipede. The only solution is to ban all forms of entertainment.

  15. Re:This is not good. on Whistleblower: NSA Has All of Your Email · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Some of us even recognize the difference between government resources used for spying and government resources used to provide health insurance, schools, etc.

  16. subject on British MPs Propose Censoring Internet By Default · · Score: 1

    I didn't think anyone could out-stupid American politicians, but by god you guys are trying.

  17. Re:Teller's Rose Trick Video on Magician Suing For Copyright Over Magic Trick · · Score: 1

    He doesn't explain how it's done, but how it looks (i.e., just the performance part). From watching the video, it's clear that his non-dagger hand is manipulating wires or thread, presumably attached to the flower at various cut points, but damned if anyone I know could pull off a trick that smooth.

  18. Re:Quick summary of TFA on The Laws of Physics Trump Traffic Laws · · Score: 1

    "display of acceleration is usually a larger fine than running a stop sign"

    I have never heard of this "display of acceleration" as a citeable offense. Please provide a reference.

    I've also never seen an "acceleration limit" sign. "Speed limit" might be inaccurate, but it always means velocity.

  19. Re:CHP Officer driving a 2009 Lexus? on Mandatory Brake-Override Proposed For All Cars · · Score: 1

    I'm more concerned about the fact that an officer trained in tactical driving had time to chat with 911 but not to figure out how to slow down his vehicle.

  20. Re:What we put In & On our bodies on CDC Reports 1 In 88 Children Now Affected With Autism In the US · · Score: 1

    "humans are objectively more important."

    I agree with you 100%.

  21. Doesn't everyone? on You're Driving All Wrong, Says NHTSA · · Score: 1

    I drive with my hands at pi^2 and e.

  22. Re:Hoping to Clarify ... on YouTube Identifies Birdsong As Copyrighted Music · · Score: 1

    You neglected to log in, Peat.

  23. Re:Hoping to Clarify ... on YouTube Identifies Birdsong As Copyrighted Music · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "I'm Peat Bakke, the Lead Architect at Rumblefish. [...] Automated content identification is a hairy problem [...]"

    "Rumblefish refuted my dispute, and asserted that: 'All content owners have reviewed your video and confirmed their claims to some or all of its content: Entity: rumblefish; Content Type: Musical Composition.' "

    Fuck you, Peat.

  24. YHBT on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    The whole thing reads like satire. Good work, Slashdot.

    "which is why I'm moving to Reddit."

    Enjoy your cat pictures.
