  1. Re:where can i sign with them? on Real-Time Cyber-Attack Map · · Score: 2
    Click on the big question mark on the top left corner:

    If you are already a member of the Honeynet Project, you can just publish your captures to hpfeeds and they will automatically show up on this map. If you are not a member, you can run your own copy of this map on your own server. Code is on GitHub (LGPL license).

  2. Re:Not too bad? on Sea Level Rise Can't Be Stopped · · Score: 1

    Surely cities that are going to be effected will have ample time to relocate those in "danger".

    That sounds like one of those "famous last words"...

  3. Re:Except on Headlights That See Through Rain and Snow · · Score: 1

    the camera is inside the headlights or even inside the car.

  4. Re:Cut out that "free will" crap. on Headlights That See Through Rain and Snow · · Score: 2

    I think you've both missed the point. We were talking about smart headlights that can see through heavy rain...

  5. Re:So WTF do the non-depressed do with the interne on Depressed People Surf the Web Differently · · Score: 1

    It follows that a depressed person might say, "Fuck it, I'm just going to stay home and watch every episode of Game of Thrones and eat Cheetos until I fall asleep."

    fuck, I just realized that I'm depressed.

  6. Re:what a bullshit on Online Loneliness At Google+ · · Score: 1

    You do understand that you are just one single data point and they are talking about average results amongst thousands of users?

  7. what's next? on Stone-Throwing Chimp Back In the News With Better Plan · · Score: 2

    Next they will tell us about chimps that have writing skills, and about smoke-grenade throwing chimps with devious plan to kill all humans...

  8. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES on Android Ported To C# · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I'm currently trying to learn the WPF in C# for a project and it just makes my life difficult! The combination of MVC, XML, LINQ and routed events just broke my ability to do real programming. You will really find yourself spend hours trying to do simple tasks and end up hacking up some weird solutions that will make your project into spaghetti code (talking about large projects at least).

  9. Re:Cryptography? on Travelling Salesman, Thriller Set In a World Where P=NP · · Score: 2

    But P=NP will not help you crack anything.

    IANAC but just what I remember from my CS degree, factorization is NP-complete, if it can be simplified to polynomial then maybe it's easier to crack something (public key systems that rely on the complexity of factorization like RSA) ? Shor's algorithm that works on a quantum computer does make it polynomial and it says in the link that it will have major implications to security schemes that rely on factorization (such as RSA).

    I wonder if this movie is related to that (transforming sand to glass could be relevant to how Shor transformed the problem using the quantum Fourier transform)

  10. Re:Advice: Overuse of the Red Channel in Colors on Code Name, Theming Update Announced For Ubuntu 12.10 · · Score: 1

    OTOH red/green is more soothing at night when you are using your Desktop for something entertaining other than work. As said somewhere (search google) blue is brighter at night and is causing your system to produce less melatonin which is a hormone for sleep. It may also increase the risk of cancer!

    There are already interfaces that allow you to change your OS theme. What I would like however, is a theme that will change according to the time of the day/night and/or the task I am doing to help my health and efficiency.

  11. First before I even posted! on Quantum Experiment Shows Effect Before Cause · · Score: 1

    Ain't that a geographical oddity?

    Look carefully, this post has actually affected the whole thread before I posted this post.

  12. Re:SI unit on Asteroid the 'Size of a Minivan' Exploded Over California · · Score: 4, Funny

    Finally I get it! The size of the asteroid was about one quarter the size of a nanoWales!

  13. His job (FTA) on Man Protests TSA With Nudity · · Score: 1

    Said Brennan's father, also John Brennan, when reached by KATU News Tuesday night: "This is quite a shock. He hasn't been under any stress that I know of. He's never really under any stress. He works for a computer company in California. He does something with the Internet, which is just kind of mystical to me. This is quite a surprise."

  14. yes but in 5000 years on How Las Vegas Missed Out on a Life-Sized Starship Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Archaeologists would find this ancient starship and think that our civilization got in space-travel first!

    Not to mention that all these weapons and lasers would freak them out since it would suggest that we had battles with alien civilizations.

  15. dafuq on Instagram Debuts On Android · · Score: 1

    did i just download?

  16. Re:New Universe on 13-Billion-Year-Old Alien Worlds Discovered · · Score: 1

    Wow relax, the parent just made an inspiring comment, that's all. Now, please go look at yourself in the mirror and think about it.

  17. Re:Astronomers are so funny on 13-Billion-Year-Old Alien Worlds Discovered · · Score: 4, Funny

    no, the refrigerator does work moving heat to the outside in time with some of that energy thereafter unavailable to do work, increasing the overall entropy of the universe even though causing a local decrease of entropy inside

    And that folks, is the definition of a refrigerator here on Slashdot! Still wonder why you don't have any gfs? Seriously though, this is why I love /.

  18. Re:I welcome on The Blistering Hot Exoplanet Where It Snows · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is not just for knowledge sake. Weather conditions on other planets may help us understand weather behaviour in general, and in turn understand better the weather conditions on our own planet.

  19. Re:Why politics should not dictate to science on Japan's Nuclear Energy Industry Nears Shutdown · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yet, fearing public opposition, he has said he will not restart the reactors without the approval of local community leaders."

    This is Slashdot:

    In one thread, people go paranoid about governments not thinking of their people.
    In another thread, governments are stupid because they ask their people of what to do.

  20. Re:Long enough time? on Robot Firefighter To Throw Extinguisher Grenades · · Score: 1

    20 robots?! You think the government will give 20 robots to any fire department? 1 and it would be an overkill already.

  21. Re:It wasn't just Microsoft... on Azure Failure Was a Leap Year Glitch · · Score: 1

    Hey! We all know that all Google products are still in beta, so they can be excused. Now let us please go back to MS bashing, mmk?
