  1. How can i be sure... on Emirates Planes Could Be Going Windowless (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    ...That what i'm seeing is real? When i look out the window and see there isn't a gremlin on the wing I want to know for sure the airline isn't just hiding it to prevent a panic.

  2. Re:"you may remember him from" on Hacker Gets Super NES Games Running On Unmodified NES (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Ironically, this time the joke was that it worked.

  3. Why create a puzzle based on sudoku but double up one the characters?

  4. Re:It's in your pocket on Ask Slashdot: Why Are There No True Dual-System Laptops Or Tablet Computers? · · Score: 1

    Honestly it's not a need, it's a want. Anything gained is convenience only. And the con outweigh the pros, especially in your use case of the primary holding company/confidential information. Here I'll break it down...
    PRO:
    * Only need to carry one machine when getting online using questionable networks.
    (Yes, that's the only pro)
    CON:
    * 2 OS's or installations to maintain (minor as this is true in all scenarios, dual boot, vm, multi system)
    * Switch in wrong position boots wrong SOC.
    * Beefy CAD laptop gets more exposure, making it a physical theft target.
    * Shared peripherals may expose primary system to things like BadUSB

  5. Obligatory xkcd on Slack Is Shutting Down Its IRC Gateway (slack.help) · · Score: 4, Informative
  6. Not here on Jeff Bezos Shares Video of 10,000-Year Clock Project (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    there -> http://www.10000yearclock.net/... Nice of the editors to copy-paste but not include the link

  7. Re:Where are the wet wipe dispensers? on The Flu and Airports (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    To be fair that plastic tub of wipes is fairly new to the walmart entrances. It was added when tests found out what was on the shopping cart handles, and it was mostly feces.

  8. Re:Kodi + PseudoTV Live on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Build a Private TV Channel For My Kids? · · Score: 1

    Actually found something useful on slashdot... thanks for this.

  9. Re:Use a tape on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Build a Private TV Channel For My Kids? · · Score: 1

    How did you fit a cassette in the DVD Drive?

  10. You should have put this under ToTheStars post, notice he only offers his bow... It's was him!

  11. I know this is slashdot, but if you RTFA and click around a bit it's not hard to find.

  12. Common Carrier on AT&T Begins Testing High-Speed Internet Over Power Lines (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're going to use common carrier infrastructure to deliver a service, does that make you a common carrier?

  13. Pai's staff said that states and other localities do not have jurisdiction over broadband because it is an interstate service and that it would subvert federal policy for states and localities to impose their own rules.

    Does mean State/Local Authorities don't have the power to impose vender lockouts either?

  14. Re:Anyone concerned about the child labor project? on US Government Launches Code.gov To Showcase Its Open Source Software (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    1. It's a joke calm down.

    2.

    A quick glance shows that it is a project dealing with tracking the progress of eliminating child labor worldwide... Go peddle your FUD somewhere else.

    No, it doesn't. The code.gov page has practically nothing, links to github. The Project readme on github only says its an iOS app and lists screen modules

  15. Anyone concerned about the child labor project? on US Government Launches Code.gov To Showcase Its Open Source Software (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, there in an unlicensed child labor project managed by the Department of Labor. WTF?
