  1. Re:I lost interest when I saw brisket on When Nerds Do BBQ · · Score: 1

    at least 12 hours

    I can only do a smallish (7-9 pound) brisket this way due to space considerations, but I've discovered that 48 hours in apple cider vinegar, flipping every 12, can cut the time-to-perfect-brisket down to 6-8 hours. The ACV also gives the meat just a hint of tang, no sauce needed.

  2. Re:Oh boy! on Firefox 39 Released, Bringing Security Improvements and Social Sharing · · Score: 1

    But if I open more than one or two Amazon tabs, even if that's all I have open, life slows to a crawl and my Firefox CPU usage goes to 101% of one CPU core.

    Out of curiosity, does your clean install involve re-installing an adblocker? iFrames are a known problem, and I'd bet that Amazon is framing in content from sponsors, modules, etc and it would make one's adblocking extensions go nuts.

    One man's experience: I run NoScript, a cookie whitelister, and I've recently added uMatrix on top of both of those; and I'm not breaking 9% cpu with 5 different Amazon tabs open (FF38.0.5). I also run MVPS Hosts and some others.

  5. Just... don't. on Ask Slashdot: What's the Harm In a Default Setting For Div By Zero? · · Score: 1

    You're asking about redefining what division means. Dividing by zero means taking the original term and putting it into ZERO groups. That is not defined. It's that simple. Now, I'm the type of person who'll discuss this, but you've not really given any reason for it to be defined as the quantity zero, so here's your chance.

    what does that have to do with the question being asked?

    Everyone is mentioning Seattle, which is the city where the Space Needle is located. "Seattle" is a very wrong answer to the question, "Olympia" less so. I'm surprised you couldn't pick that up from the conversation.*

    *Not really, you seem pretty inflexible.

    His schtick is that he thinks that the hosts file is the only way to block malware.

    It's actually more odd than that: he "advocates" an installed program which curates the Hosts file. Seems too complicated for me; I just download a hosts from mvp or whereever.
