  1. Re:Better with GPS? on Project Ryptide Drone Flies Life-Rings To Distressed Swimmers · · Score: 1

    A ring dropped ON a swimmer might be bad, too.

    That's its cousin, the DefiCopter.

    FYI, it had nothing to do with a pack of cigars. The officer was unaware that Michael Brown may or may not have purchased any cigars at a store earlier.

    Obvious: Pluto has a plentiful supply of FUD, which allows it to defy the laws of anything.

    Nah, if they sell the MRAP, how will they carry the Martin not-Jetpack to the scene of the event? I think they will buy an EXTRA MRAP for this thing.

    ...trains the immune system to kill cells which look like they have ebola.

    So, the solution to Ebola involves profiling? Geez. /s

  10. Re:net neutrality isn't protocol agnosticism on Net Neutrality Alone Won't Solve ISP Throttling Abuse, Here's Why · · Score: 1

    This. Absolutely.

    The article gave a bad explanation of the requirements for video, as noted by other posters here. Nevertheless, it is true that video-streaming has different requirements than two-way voice calls, which both have different requirements than a Tor relay. These can each be enhanced by appropriate optimization, as the parent describes.

    The "neutrality" is about the identities of the provider and the consumer, not about the type of data.

    That was an extensive answer. Honest (non-trolling) question: What field do you work in? Anything to do with epidemiology?

    “The overall effect of networking on individual welfare is significantly negative,” they conclude.

    Well, that explains a lot.

  22. Re:How fitting on Study: People Would Rather Be Shocked Than Be Alone With Their Thoughts · · Score: 1

    If the majority of people are extroverted, how would it not be considered normal or typical behavior?

    Per a 1998 study, 50.7% percent of Americans are introverts. http://introvertzone.com/ratio...

    Hmm. Couldn't the results be skewed? Seems like they would have trouble reaching the introverts for the study. Could be that there are more undiscovered introverts. (I'm only being halfway-sarcastic here. I assume they controlled for this somehow in the study, but I have to believe that it is harder to contact the introverts.)

    It's analogous to the situation in politics, in which a loud-mouthed group with in the minority often ends up dominating the conversation. In the study, they could have an easier time finding the extroverts, so it seem like there are more of them.

  23. Re:My list on Ask Slashdot: Correlation Between Text Editor and Programming Language? · · Score: 1

    So, I guess I only have a correlation for Java and php.

    • * vim as the default always-available editor, for anything. gVim in some cases. Backed by cscope.
    • * jEdit if I have it installed, for anything. Backed by cscope.
    • * Notepad++ on Windows, if I have any kind of problem with vim or jEdit. (rare, but possible)
    • * Eclipse, for Java or php projects.
