  1. Will there be a new slang term for inspectors? on NYC Considers Google Glass For Restaurant Inspections · · Score: 1

    "Dirty-glassholes"

  2. Re:But who uses Yahoo! mail? on Yahoo DMARC Implementation Breaks Most Mailing Lists · · Score: 1

    The text and data are kinda a necessity.

  3. Re:Not a Myth on Stung By File-Encrypting Malware, Researchers Fight Back · · Score: 1

    Wait, this was malware, not the heartbleed thing. It should never have been run and never had access to the files it was affecting. An OS could be designed to be document-centric rather than application-centric (amongst other design choices) and many of these vulnerabilities just not available to exploit.

  4. Re:Not a Myth on Stung By File-Encrypting Malware, Researchers Fight Back · · Score: 1

    Good point. My mind was on viruses and trojans for some reason.

  5. Re:Low even for Slashdot on Double Take: Condoleezza Rice As Dropbox's Newest Board Member · · Score: 1

    Well, he couldn't have said "the most terrifying administration in history" anymore, could he?

  6. Re:Low even for Slashdot on Double Take: Condoleezza Rice As Dropbox's Newest Board Member · · Score: 1

    Perfect. Every bug report could be immediately closed our with a resolution of "What difference does it make?".

  7. Re:Force her out! on Double Take: Condoleezza Rice As Dropbox's Newest Board Member · · Score: 1

    Dick Cheney?

  8. Re:fake website on Stung By File-Encrypting Malware, Researchers Fight Back · · Score: 4, Funny

    I take special delight in stealing the images of sites like that.

  9. Re:Not a Myth on Stung By File-Encrypting Malware, Researchers Fight Back · · Score: 0

    Absolutely. This is an OS design problem.

  10. Re:But who uses Yahoo! mail? on Yahoo DMARC Implementation Breaks Most Mailing Lists · · Score: 2

    On the other hand, I would be almost 100% happy if I didn't have the voice part of my smartphone.

  11. Re:Abstinence on In-Flight Wi-Fi Provider Going Above and Beyond To Help Feds Spy · · Score: 1

    You didn't know you were possibly getting MITM'd anyway? If you're working with secure customer data, you should be using a VPN as a matter of course.

  12. Aesop on How Cochlear Implants Are Being Blamed For Killing Deaf Culture · · Score: 1

    The fox with no tail.

    It's an old story.

  13. Re:So? on Isolated Tribes Die Shortly After We Meet Them · · Score: 1

    Did you think that maybe, just maybe, "these people" are actually, y'know, people and should be able to decide for themselves?

  14. Re:So? on Isolated Tribes Die Shortly After We Meet Them · · Score: 1

    I think you would delineate work as obtaining resources. So shopping would count (as any man knows) but cooking and chores would not.

  15. Re:I couldn't agree less on Online Skim Reading Is Taking Over the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    His Rama book is pretty good. It's the travesties that were written by other people that followed which are the problem (III much moreso than II)

  16. Re:Efficiency on Online Skim Reading Is Taking Over the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    No, the summary made it clear that it appeared to be the case for one particular person. I, am I am sure, many others have no problem switching between the two.

    In particular, research may mean skimming many articles in a shallow manner to find the most relevant ones and then in-depth study of appropriate items.

  17. Re:Hmm... on Online Skim Reading Is Taking Over the Human Brain · · Score: 1

    I can do both with no problem. I suspect that the ability to easily switch is a learned skill also.

    It may also have something to do with your background. The ability to skim large quantities of text and pull out relevant information was a useful skill long before it became digital.

  18. ReactOS, dude.

    No, seriously, good point. Though it's a lot easier to not support MS through Windows than X-Box IYSWIM.

  19. Re:On the Other Hand... on Blender Foundation Video Taken Down On YouTube For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    I know I'd never heard of it. And now I plan to watch it. Probably in better quality than Youtube also.

  20. Re:... badabom on UAV Operator Blames Hacking For Malfunction That Injured Triathlete · · Score: 1

    Woosch!

  21. I'm playing the world's smallest violin on Elite Violinists Can't Distinguish Between a Stradivarius and a Modern Violin · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bet that's worth a fair bit.

  22. Re:Potential FAA issues on New Service Lets You Hitch a Ride With Private Planes For Cost of Tank of Gas · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sorry, cloudy skies :D

  23. Re:Potential FAA issues on New Service Lets You Hitch a Ride With Private Planes For Cost of Tank of Gas · · Score: 1

    Agreed. For non-commercial flights, you are not allowed to accept more than a share of the costs but there is more to the rule than just that and this service is swaying into murky waters.

  24. Re:So, how much does it cost? on New Service Lets You Hitch a Ride With Private Planes For Cost of Tank of Gas · · Score: 2

    My memory is that a small plane costs about twice as much ($) in fuel for the same point-to-point distance.

  25. Re:... badabom on UAV Operator Blames Hacking For Malfunction That Injured Triathlete · · Score: 2

    Your not helping things.
