Comment IT IS ABOUT DAMN TIME! (Score 4, Insightful) 260

It is about time that Google stopped coddling its workers. You have a job, so do it. If your job includes protesting, then do THAT. It is doesn't, then STFU and GBTW.

Sorry 'whatever generation' this pisses off, but A:recognize how lucky you are to get those jobs and B: there are lots of people behind you that would snap them up in an instant if you keep playing games.

This is very interesting. Their OTHER TOS does not match the one posted here:

I suppose the terms of service is different from the merchant agreement, except that there does seem to be SOME overlap....

This is our one, best chance of actually CONTACTING alien life (besides the Karda-shians) that our planet will ever have, You've seen the video; the underlying technology of the beacon WORKS and the aliens are REAL! Oh sure, you're saying "Those freaks behind Eternal Salvation or Triple Your Money Back are back." Well, we never left, and now we are close to having the power of the Gods! Put YOUR money IN THE BASKET! Let Bob know that YOU believe! Get Dr. Legume some hair! Do it TODAY!

Submission + - SubGenius Cult Launches $25k Fundraiser to Build an Alien Beacon (gofundme.com) 4

Ktaden Legume writes: Rev. Ivan Stang of the Church of the SubGenius today announced that the SubGenius Foundation's Forbidden Science Ministry is launching an initiative and fundraising campaign to construct a device called "The Beacon". This device, it is claimed by the developers, will "decloak the Xist escape saucer presently orbiting Earth and summon it to rescue those willing to make the pilgrimage to the deployment site".

This startling new development in the SubGenius doctrine comes on the heels of an announcement of the discovery of notebooks and blueprints allegedly belonging to church founder J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, describing several unfinished inventions, including the Beacon. The Beacon will be constructed by a team of 'Forbidden Scientists' led by former church CEO Dr. K'taden Legume.

Comment Fruit Uber? (Score 1) 524

Wait a second.... Aren't these 'unlicensed fruit vendors' just an earlier version (or perhaps the latest) of Uber or perhaps food trucks? And everyone loves what Uber is doing to the taxi economy, right?

1) Displace standard selling practices (stores)
2) Provide goods at strategic locations, mobile
3) Fill a demand (people are buying fruit, else the carts would not be there)
4) Allow people to use their own resources to generate an income (fruit vs. cars).

Lots of hypocrisy in both the CEO's rant and in these Slashdot replies regarding zoning.....

I would wager that if there was an 'app' to call the fruit vendors, folks would be all over this, handing them truckloads of money......

Comment Create a "Cry Room" (Score 1) 321

Just like at church, create a "Cry Room" for these folks. Make the windows one-way and the walls soundproof. Heck, why not even let them smoke, too.

This just seems like a very, very bad idea. If you can't be without your phone for two hours, I bet you are already pirating films. Leave the rest of us alone and go watch your downloaded copy.... and you can text all you want.... from your house (or your office, dorm, basement, etc....).

If the MPAA ever wanted to INCREASE piracy, AMC just gave them the perfect justification.

Comment Not Just Parking.... (Score 1) 427

Actually, a form of this has been going on in San Diego for some time, but with golf tee times. Torrey Pines is a public golf course that the PUBLIC gets to use. Each and every damn morning, two or three groups (with a dozen or so low-income/shelter 'contractors') phone in and grab ALL of the daily tee times. These folks then turn around and sell them for 3x to 5x the normal public price.

The city can't do a damn thing about them, since each reservation is under a different name......
