  3. Re:Good for Slashdot for following up on Samsung Keylogger Stories a False Alarm · · Score: 1

    That's no journalistic ethics. Slashdot has no standard, and puts up anything, especially dupes. Taco probably put it up thinking it was a dupe.

    Right, taco?

    Like streams of electrons or ions?

    Not one of the sentences in the summary makes any sense to me.

  6. Re:Details, please on Utah Repeals Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 1

    "Craving" is such a strong word, you know?

    But thanks for the links. Yours and the sibling post shows some inkling of the issues involved. As usual, the slashdot story was one-sided flamebait.

  7. Details, please on Utah Repeals Anti-Transparency Law · · Score: 1

    RTFA, and would like more info. TFA doesn't provide much details.

  10. Re:'bout time on Timezone Maintainer Retiring · · Score: 2

    Lunch time.

  11. Re:Not at all on Comcast-NBC Deal Accidentally Protects Internet? · · Score: 1

    Additionally, the summary suggests they are enumerated exceptions, not "internet" as a whole/general - i.e., all other third parties not specifically listed in the agreement.

  12. Mozilla finance on Firefox 4 the Last Big Release From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    How are these guys paying their bills? Still on Google teats?

  17. Limited but still damn good on Open Source Hardware Hits 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Digital designs that can be implemented with FPGA is a lot like software, but when it comes to optical drives and others that are electro-mechanical or analog, being open-source won't have the same effect.

    Eh, all the same, I applaud the effort. Open society demands open technology.

  18. Re:Common practice on Rediscovering WWII's Top-Secret Computing 'Rosies' · · Score: 3, Funny

    I was told by an old-timer that many early programmers were females writing COBOL code. Not sure of its veracity, although COBOL's verbosity suggests it's plausible.

  19. Re:Beginnings have Ends on Computer Industry Mourns DEC Founder Ken Olsen · · Score: 1

    Wipe your tears away. You are not alone. That's how so many of us came to ruin our lives.

    Damn you, DEC!

    Sure, there lie alternate universe magic monsters.

  21. Re:not science on The Hidden Reality Draws Ire From Physicists · · Score: 1

    Dark matter and energy are observed via their effects, and that's precisely why they were brought up in the first place.

    If any bit at all can be observed from alternate universe however remotely/indirectly, i.e. "inferred" as you say, it by definition is part of this universe and not some alternate universe.
