  1. Not disbarred! Now this poor soul will have to practice law in another state. How about some fines greater than his scammed income?

  2. Yeah but that panel is going to look terrible compared to one from a reputable manufacturer. I'm actually on the lookout for an IBM T221 monitor for my desktop. Its the highest resolution 16:10 display ever made, and that was 15 years ago. The only drawback is a 50Hz refresh but I don't play any games.

  3. My car battery died one morning so I got a ride up to Sears because it was the closest and on the same side of the highway. I stood around the automotive counter for a while with another customer. This section was roped off from the rest of the store (it had its own entrance) so they didn't want people coming in? Anyhow I told the other customer I was going to Pep Boys and he said "good idea" and I left. This Sears is currently closed.

  4. Duh on Former Mozilla CTO: 'Chrome Won' (andreasgal.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It won because you became Chrome Junior with the "australis" interface. That and you cared more about adding video chat than stability or speed.

  5. Now where does this money come from? More taxes on the average working man? Good to know that a sheer luck billionaire is shaping global finances.

  6. Re:kudos to Devuan on Devuan Jessie 1.0 Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I understand AIX and its binary logs. However the entire point of Linux was that it was never UNIX. I'm waiting for all the systemd config files to get condensed into a flat database. It will be called system.dat and need a program called "regedit" to make any changes.

  7. Re: I thought this died in the wind on Devuan Jessie 1.0 Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't understand binary log files and then the same text processing tools recreated in order to read said binary log files.

  8. Re:I like XML better on JSON Feed Announced As Alternative To RSS (jsonfeed.org) · · Score: 1

    What is XML even used for? Seriously, wasn't it supposed to overtake HTML at one point? Who uses it and for what purpose?

  9. Spoofing GPS data is trivial with a HackRF...

  10. Imagine the opposite on FCC Won't Punish Stephen Colbert For Controversial Trump Insult (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    I'd just like to imagine what would happen if Rush Limbaugh made that same statement.

  11. Driving down one way streets is normal for Pittsburgh. I've only ever seen the self driving cars in the strip district.

  12. The FCC was always like this on FCC Won't Release DDoS Logs, And Will Probably Honor Fake Comments (zdnet.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Back when Howard Stern was their main focus they counted every form letter as a unique complaint. So those fringe religious groups would send in a million identical letters and the FCC would count one million complaints.

  13. Re: Kind of hard to take this seriously.. on The Working Dead: Which IT Jobs Are Bound For Extinction? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Revolutionize manufacturing? Yes. Creating the automobile? How about no.

  14. Re:I used to work at Hanford Site... on Possible Radioactive Leak Investigated At Washington Nuclear Site (upi.com) · · Score: 2

    Agreed. Who carries around old smoke detectors? Plus you won't read any alpha rays coming from the metal can.

  15. Re:Completely false on Sweden Drops Julian Assange Rape Investigation (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I was quoting Obama's response when he was asked about pardoning Snowden.

  16. Re: Big Company Moves on IBM is Telling Remote Workers To Get Back in the Office Or Leave (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    All of the mainframe and AS/400 machines are POWER based. Do some reading up.

  17. Re:Assange should hold his promise on Sweden Drops Julian Assange Rape Investigation (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Assange already gave some bullshit excuse as soon as the pardon was announced months ago.

  18. Re:Obama on Sweden Drops Julian Assange Rape Investigation (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    To be pardoned you have to be convicted of a crime.

  19. Re:Big Company Moves on IBM is Telling Remote Workers To Get Back in the Office Or Leave (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Their mainframe division is quite impressive and still cranking out new machines.

  20. Getting up to the speed limit is the fun part.

    Oh yeah nobody from the feds or big media could ever get invited to that...

    btdb.in (but watch out for pop up windows)

    Just goes to show that money talks.

  24. Therapist or the rapist. You decide.

  25. Re:The worse part of a trailer... on Our Obsession With Trailers Is Making Movies Worse (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    The movie Dangerous Kelly hit the nail on the head with this one. A sleezy hollywood producer finds out about Shakespeare and other public domain works and uses the dialog word for word in his movies. He doesn't have to pay writers or royalties!
