  1. Re:Ooooh shiny on Ask Slashdot: Which NoSQL Database For New Project? · · Score: 1

    I work with a SQL database every day. I optimize weekly. I haven't done a project since mid 1990's that didn't have some sort of SQL DB attached to it. I just wanted to see if there was something better. Apparently not.

    In what role do you work?
    Your questions do not show any experience, it's just a soup of popular IT terms
    sendmail fits the bill

  2. Re:Sadly for Canonical... on Canonical's Troubles With the Free Software Community · · Score: 1

    3. You can actually replace Unity with something else within minutes. (Or you can even install the Ubuntu edition without it.)

    Stop using phrases ".. replace with something else". XXX is alright, because you can replace it by YYY. Something default is not optional, it is the DEFAULT. Here, have this ton of spam; no problem, you can opt out right?

  3. Re: acceleration on XWayland Aiming For Glamor Support, Merge Next X.Org Release · · Score: 1

    I'm not very clear on just where the acceleration is missing, but it sounds like it's missing in a foundational piece.

    Yup. Beat around the bush. Yadda Yadda about compatibility layer upon compatibility layer to keep features before acceleration. Just start anew & solid and the rest will follow.

  4. Re:New submitter on GNOME 3.12 Released · · Score: 1

    Jezus, I've been on this site since Malda was still using it as a tab on his website. It took them this long to actually accept a submission of mine.

    No kidding! They stole my UID merely to promote a Gnome 3 announcement!

  5. Re:Not sexism, but bitchiness on Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment · · Score: 1

    If a woman is treating you differently, because you are a woman, then it is sexism.

    Transgender am I, woman be sexist.

  6. More context on Shuttleworth Wants To Get Rid of Proprietary Firmware · · Score: 1

    reminder for the list; signed code, tivoization, like sigma et. al. firmware support pretty much equals caveat emptor nowadays, I like to re^H^Huse the cpu/mobo for something useful oh well raspberry pi + sim anyone?

  7. Re:Apply to jobs on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Change Tech Careers At 30? · · Score: 1

    Hello 6KR61, time to recharge.
    Seriously, who modded this post funny after reading the other contributions.
    Talk to your family and get out, now. Burnouts can have serious longterm effect.

  8. Re:as they say on German Chancellor Proposes European Communications Network · · Score: 1

    Your own government doing this is much more dangerous than any other government ..

    It's not a pissin contest.
    Let me deal with my own govt, you deal with yours.
    Europeans are much too reliant on products storing data on US servers which can easily be seized.
    We just "hand" our privates over, which is why the proposal actually makes sense.

  9. Re:Most main-stream sci-fi isn't science-friendly on Ask Slashdot: Is Crowd Funding the Future of Sci-Fi? · · Score: 1

    I think the closest thing I have seen to an actual science fiction movie in the last 30 yeas is "Deep Impact".

    Try The Big Lebowski, it's like, you know, friendly too.

  10. Re:It's a status thing on Your 60-Hour Work Week Is Not a Badge of Honor · · Score: 1

    This is an intentional political change.

    Same movement visible here in NL, though something like Hartz not (yet?) implemented. Sucks if you're handicapped or layed off when 10+years before retirement.

  11. Re:Comparison to Chess? on Pentago Is a First-Player Win · · Score: 1

    Not sure about the mathematical complexity, but the (chess) strategy of controlling the center, in this case the center of boards opposed cross nevers fails to win as a white player.

  12. Re:Erase all button on Researchers Use Electroconvulsive Therapy To Disrupt Recall of Nasty Events · · Score: 1

    Citations please (not from Ken Kesey). ECT is gaining traction nowadays (esp. in the Netherlands) as a final resort action.
    Personally, I've seen someone actually improving after serious depression.

  13. Re:Enjoy it while you can... on Ask Slashdot: Do You Run a Copy-Cat Installation At Home? · · Score: 1

    This is from a guy that raised 4 kids. Yes I enjoyed my kids, but if I was able to go back in time and kick my teenage self in the nuts 30 times to keep me from ever having children, I would do it in a heartbeat. .

    Oh please, your *wife* raised 5 kids

  14. Re:Upate to the most current on New Windows XP Zero-Day Under Attack · · Score: 1

    I downgraded to Reader 5 but that's about as low you can go.

  17. Re:What about Jesus's ? on Explorer Plans Hunt For Genghis Khan's Long-Lost Tomb · · Score: 1

    Imagine if Jesus had hooked Genghis up with his breakthrough water-walking technology. Khan could have taken over the entire world.

  18. Re:This is not the tomb you seek! on Explorer Plans Hunt For Genghis Khan's Long-Lost Tomb · · Score: 1

    Gengis Khan was a menacing rapist with children all over the place.
    This legend about invasions is actually more of an escape from the fury of scorned women.

    Putin is doing his best to bring it back.

    Yes; though we do not know this is action or reaction; I suspect the latter.
    Of course, China will win.

  21. Re:Fire them on Snowden Used Social Engineering To Get Classified Documents · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. What kind of an idiot gives their passowrd to an administrator?

    admin: hand over your pass.
    idiot: Nay!
    admin: sudo hand over your pass.
    idiot: 1-2-3-4-5
    admin: 1-2-3-4-5? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard of in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!

    AC is of course correct - the point was that they made the equivalent of a potato clock [wikihow.com], but on a computer.
