    What is that "Senior System Engineer/Architect" thing doing in a slashdot sig?

    Furthermore, your sig says: "Notice: If you post anonymously do not expect a reply" and you just replied to an anon!

    You seem to have problems following basic algorithms which is questionable for a " Senior System Engineer/Architect".

    Take care nevertheless man ;-)

    Well, I do a lot of java programming and young jsp/servlet developers often know nothing about HTTP.

    I used to borrow books from my library. Will they lend me e-readers or tablets?

  15. Thanks, I was waiting for this. on Tesla Updates Model S Software As a Precaution Against Unsafe Charging · · Score: 2

    The California-based automaker has added a software function that automatically reduces the charge current by about 25 percent when power from the charging source fluctuates outside of a certain range,

    When I bought my model S, Tesla advised me against driving around with a wind mill on the roof because "it would cause too much fluctuations". Well, I guess I am safe to do so now.

    consumers used an average of 1.2 gigabytes a month over cellular networks this year,

    At current cellular network rates, it's a cash cow.

    I'll wait until rates get lower a bit before I start using it. Eventually, it should be just about as low as wired connection rates. Just wait a few years yet.

    What makes you think this administration has any interest in following the law?

    Merry Christmas ;-)

  22. Since this is slashdot. on E-Books That Read You · · Score: 1

    I know it's hard to implement for the average citizen but since this is slashdot: It isn't that hard to monitor/analyze/filter out the data that leaks out of your network and devices.
