  1. Re:Done without negative feedback on A Call That Made History, 100 Years Ago Today · · Score: 1

    Negative feedback was known about at the time.

  2. Re:Obligatory reminder that an alternative exists on OpenSSL 1.0.2 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    SSL is broken anyhow. The feds have all the top level keys and can listen with impunity.

  3. Re:Really? on WhatsApp vs. WhatsApp Plus Fight Gets Ugly For Users · · Score: 1

    Still no clue as to what WhatsApp actually does...

  4. What a cheap fucker on User Plea Means EISA Support Not Removed From Linux · · Score: 0

    Just looked on Ebay and you can get PCI FDDI cards for less than $20. How much time is spent maintaining this 20 year old code? Total economics fail.

  5. Haha are you serious? on Where Cellular Networks Don't Exist, People Are Building Their Own · · Score: 1

    When the daily news story is about the police finding a duffel bag of severed heads or corpses hanging from a bridge you might have bigger problems than unlicensed communications equipment.

  6. Literally on Authors Alarmed As Oxford Junior Dictionary Drops Nature Words · · Score: 1

    Its bad enough they already changed the definition of literally because nobody used it correctly.

  7. Dumped it already on Firefox 35 Arrives With MP4 Playback On Mac, Android Download Manager Support · · Score: 1

    First I started with Palemoon because the interface wasn't that abortion they call Australis. But Palemoon seemed to be getting slower so I gave Chrome a try and liked it. Not without a few essential addons like Adblock, Flashblock, and a home button. We're at a crossroads right now like when Netscape 4 came out and IE really improved.

  8. Speaking to on Canadian Government Steps In To Stop Misleading Infringement Notices · · Score: 1

    Yeah "speaking to" them. Let me know when people do jail time for fraud or blackmail.

  9. What? on OpenSSL Patches Eight New Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    OpenSSL had crippling bugs for years until heartbleed. Tens of thousands of people spoke of the virtue of open source and "many eyes" but apparently the author was the only one reading the source.

  10. What are you doing that requires 32gb of ram? Building Android?

  11. Dear Slashdot: on Ask Slashdot: High-Performance Laptop That Doesn't Overheat? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I want to break the laws of physics. Please instruct me.

  12. Re:Still useful research on Beware Headlines Saying Chocolate Is Good For You · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hershey's is the Walmart of chocolate. There are plenty of small companies making high quality chocolates.

  13. At my job I've had to re-cap every LCD monitor we bought in 2006 and 2007.

  14. Re:Ghost Car Alert on What Isn't There an App For? · · Score: 1

    Unmarked cars used to be incredibly easy to spot. Look for a white/navy/grey crown vic with heavy tint and steel rims. Although lately they have gotten more sneaky with the Dodge cars. The color scheme is the same but they use fancy wheel covers now.

  15. Re:Ghost Car Alert on What Isn't There an App For? · · Score: 1

    What is a police ghost car?

  16. OpenGL on AMD Catalyst Linux Driver Catching Up To and Beating Windows · · Score: 1

    What games on Windows even use OpenGL?

  17. Re:Tablet? on Is the Tablet Market In Outright Collapse? Data Suggests Yes · · Score: 1

    Its not a new term. The Chinese have been cranking them out for a few years. A phone with a 6" or larger screen.

  18. Re:tropical thailand on Being Colder May Be Good For Your Health · · Score: 1

    Compare typical Thai food to American food.

  19. IBM LCD on Quake On an Oscilloscope · · Score: 2

    The IBM T221 cost $17,999 when it was released. I can't imagine anyone outside a research lab or government agency buying one back then.

  20. Re:Think about this when... on Twitter Bug Locks Out Many Users · · Score: 1

    None of those things you describe even comes close to autonomous automobiles.

  21. Re:Actually.. on Sony To Release the Interview Online Today; Apple Won't Play Ball · · Score: 1

    Netflix doesn't do new stream releases. M-go used to streaming rentals for a few bucks but now everything is "BUY FOR $9.99".

  22. What? on Docker Image Insecurity · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't tell us what the fuck a docker is or anything...

  23. Re:Barely scratches the surface on An Automated Cat Litter Box With DRM · · Score: 1

    Keurigs are for people who fail at math. They cost roughly 75 cents a cup. It would be way cheaper to buy a good old reliable $30 Mr. Coffee, drink one cup from the pot, and throw the rest away.

  24. Re:Promising??? on Pirate Bay Domain Back Online · · Score: 4, Informative

    You'd think the people who use Thepiratebay and people who use Adblock would be pretty much the same. For years I had no idea that Youtube even showed 30 second ads before videos.

  25. I don't want any touch on "Infrared Curtain" Brings Touchscreen Technology To Cheap Cars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Keep touchscreens away from cars. Back in the good old days I could reach down and adjust the air temperature with a slider and fan speed with a knob without taking my eyes off the road. Now I have to navigate menus and read text for the same task.
