Comment Want to kill technology? This is how. (Score 1) 249

No tech company would put in a back door.

Any that does is basically saying "Don't buy our product" because, as soon as they do, GUESS WHAT..people won't buy it.

Look at what happened to Microsoft after the news about PRISM. Microsoft tried to make the camera a 'requirement' for all X-Box One games until a massive backlash happened. Microsoft backtracked and it basically killed the X-Box camera for gaming outside of a short list.

People won't buy a product with a built in back door. Companies won't make a product that people won't buy.

Comment I want (Score 1) 93

I've been wanting this for nearly 20 years. I knew it was only a matter of time before it happened.

Does this mean that typing speeds won't be relevant anymore in jobs?

"How fast can you type?" "Well, I can type by brain at over 1000 words per minute..."

Comment An even better punishment.. (Score 4, Insightful) 135

A better punishment would be to punish the company as a whole:

- Force Volkswagaon to buy back all of the affected vehicles - at their original value, regardless of how old it is.
- Give every customer of an effected car, at minimum, $5000 extra for the inconvenience and deception.
- Every new car off the assembly line must an electric vehicle AND to be sold at the same price as a similar gas powered car. Even if it is at a loss.

Make the company bleed out a little bit. Nothing makes a company act straight other than the threat of losing money.

Comment False advertising? (Score 3, Insightful) 92

Shouldn't the FCC (or other government-run agency) shut down this site for blatant false advertising?

No dating/hookup sits should have fembots or fake profiles just to lure men in. Every profile should have a real, paying person behind it. Period. Anything else is simply false advertisement.

Comment Businesses need to stop expecting the impossible (Score 1) 496

Shouldn't it be at this point that the government steps in and forces the businesses to hire people who may not be trained, but has the educational background to prove that they can be?

It's like the businesses expect people to have a 10+ year degree in a field that's only 2 yrs old, and offer piss-poor wages for it.

Sorry, that's not how the world works.
