  1. Re:Sometimes, people are their own worst enemy... on Woman Alerts Police of Hostage Situation Through Pizza Hut App · · Score: 1

    ...as she demonstrated terrible choices in men AND pizza.

    if i had any moderator points...

  2. typical college class... on University Overrules Professor Who Failed Entire Management Class · · Score: 1

    people copy each other's homework and watch youtube on their phone in class and the professor cant flunk them because he would be fired because he gets graded on how well the class does. I'm guessing he did what a lot of teachers would LOVE to do.

  3. stupid on Attempted Breach of NSA HQ Checkpoint; One Shot Dead · · Score: 1

    Attacking the government in such a fashion gives them an excuse to seize more power.

  4. and companies wonder why people go union on Amazon Requires Non-Compete Agreements.. For Warehouse Workers · · Score: 2

  6. overqualified on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Job After Completing Computer Science Ph.D? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Many companies are going to think you won't stay or will want too much money. You can hire a PhD from India for $1500 a month.

  7. research what's in demand on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Wish You'd Known Starting Out As a Programmer? · · Score: 1

    I would have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had looked at job postings to see what was in demand and what was not. I'm also going to suggest at least an associates degree. If you have a master's, you get much more interesting projects to work on. Some people look at degrees and some people give technical interviews. A degree isn't mandatory, but you do get exposed to standards and how people expect your code to look, function, etc.

  8. anyone remember itanium? on HP Unveils 'The Machine,' a New Computer Architecture · · Score: 2

    i am remember hp having visions of replacing x86 with a new architecture and then AMD did x86-64. hp should know by now that a totally new hardware platform and totally new operating system isnt going to fly very far. Why not replace ethernet and tcp/ip while they are at it....

  9. Their arguments are illogical on Web Browsing Isn't Copyright Infringement, Rules EU Court of Justice · · Score: 4, Interesting

    To argue that cache files in a web browser is infringement is as silly as claiming that your eye transmitting an image to your brain is infringement...

  10. A laser is more highly focused than lightning, so your theory is problematic. And how many times is lightning aimed a cockpit? http://www.laserpointersafety.... Here is a description of an incident of lighting blinding a pilot, causing the loss of control and 25 deaths: http://avstop.com/news/strikeb...

  11. Glue his fingers together so he cant use a pc on IT Pro Gets Prison Time For Sabotaging Ex-Employer's System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've cleaned up messes and had to do data recovery after people deleted their work, reformatted machines, etc. and then quit. I have no sympathy at all for people that do this type of stuff...

  12. scroogled hypocrisy on They're Reading Your Mail: Microsoft's ToS, Windows 8 Leak, and Snooping · · Score: 1

    Didn't M$ run an ad campaign dissing Google for scanning email for personal information? They say "Think Google respects your privacy? Think again." http://www.scroogled.com/mail hypocrites!

  13. incorrect link on McAfee Brand Name Will Be Replaced By Intel Security · · Score: 1

    the link to "My elation at Intel's decision is beyond words." does not point to a quote by McAffee but to a story about CES

  14. PocketCloud is great on Ask Slashdot: Best App For Android For Remote Access To Mac Or PC? · · Score: 1

    PocketCloud has a free version for one machine and a Pro version for rdp/vnc to mulitple machines.
