  1. Re:I'm black and in tech on Black IT Pros On (Lack Of) Racial Diversity In Tech · · Score: 1

    Are less black people interested in IT jobs?

    South american people are technically also Americans...

    Also referred to as 'Dutch Guyana', it's not exactly a high profile country, but one colorful mess of a city callled Paramaribo, surrounded by tropical jungle on one side and the Atlantic on the other. They talk an extra juicy variant of Dutch and something the locals call "negro english" (which sounds nothing like english).

  4. Re:Why not strong passwords? on Website Peeps Into 73,000 Unsecured Security Cameras Via Default Passwords · · Score: 1

    Better solution is that every device has a different default password that's printed on the bottom of it.

    Throw out all your mugs, then they can't shoot them in the first place.

  6. Re:I like it. feature of the ghetto. on Windows 8 and 8.1 Pass 15% Market Share, Windows XP Drops Below 20% Mark · · Score: 1

    But that was the first thing you turned off anyway to save some of that 32Mb of ram for actual work

  7. Re:No replacement yet? on No More Lee-Enfield: Canada's Rangers To Get a Tech Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Yeah, why not make new replacement parts...?

  8. Re:Ebola vs HIV - fantasy boy on How Nigeria Stopped Ebola · · Score: 1

    It boggles my mind that they can charge $1000+ to shove someone in a machine they already have and turn it on.

  9. Re:Ebola vs HIV on How Nigeria Stopped Ebola · · Score: 1

    Smart viruses don't kill their host at all, they just spread and spread and screw with their hosts's mind and emotions spread itself even more.

  10. Re:Ebola vs HIV on How Nigeria Stopped Ebola · · Score: 1

    That would require infecting everyone on Earth since about 50% of Ebola patients survive. Pretty much impossible.

  11. Re:You will never make it in Hollywood on How Nigeria Stopped Ebola · · Score: 1

    New Yorkers wouldn't even look up from their smartphones for something like that.

  12. Re:The U.S. is on the cusp of taking monetary advi on How Nigeria Stopped Ebola · · Score: 1

    Makes sence, technically Zimbabwe has a lot more money than U.S.

  13. Re:Fusion in some forms can be very dangerous. on Lockheed Claims Breakthrough On Fusion Energy Project · · Score: 1

    There seems to be plenty of reserve water in Antartica that's melting away in a crazy temp.

  14. Re: Timeframe? on Feces-Filled Capsules Treat Bacterial Infection · · Score: 1

    I wonder why they use poop instead of nice clean odorless freezedried bacteria, like they are sold over the counter in healthshops for many decades.

  15. Re:Nvidia drivers rock on NVIDIA Presents Plans To Support Mir and Wayland On Linux · · Score: 1

    Intel does a great job also and their drivers ARE free as in with sourcecode and everything

  16. Re:Seems incorrect on NVIDIA Presents Plans To Support Mir and Wayland On Linux · · Score: 1

    Would be great if linux could just use the windows or mac drivers

  17. Re: This shit is why managers think the cloud work on Vax, PDP/11, HP3000 and Others Live On In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I see that I didn't read your comment very well. Seems like a managment issue here. If the obsolete hardware is getting problematic, then perhaps run it in virtual machines.

  18. Re:The value is the software on Vax, PDP/11, HP3000 and Others Live On In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Gradually, it became clear to me that the value of computers isn't in the hardware, it's in the software and data that they hold.

    unless your name is Apple and you will only sell that software with hardware. Then you can make a lot of money with the hardware also.

  19. Re: This shit is why managers think the cloud work on Vax, PDP/11, HP3000 and Others Live On In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    If the sourcecode hasn't been lost I don't see a problem hiring some guys to update it if it did to reimplement it.

  20. Re:Write-protect the microcontroller firmware, sil on Hacking USB Firmware · · Score: 1

    I usually only see stars from bumping my head on the bottom of my desk after inserting a usb device. Takes a bit more than 3 seconds to have the eyes back on the screen.

    Couldn't they make the phosphor on the led's slower?

  22. Re:OLEDs not generic LEDs on Breakthrough In LED Construction Increases Efficiency By 57 Percent · · Score: 1

    Both CFL's and LED lamps are generally overdriven, they pump more juice through them than they should with brightness and price being the main selling point.

  23. Re:You know what this means on Breakthrough In LED Construction Increases Efficiency By 57 Percent · · Score: 1

    They use blue lasers as indicators now.

  24. Re:Score one for the other team on Solar System's Water Is Older Than the Sun · · Score: 1

    I have no evidence of your existence, your posts on slashdot can be explained in many other ways. Would "you" find it very delusional if I sort of assumed (wich is a form of believing) that you do, without doing any research?
