  1. Re:Python on Ask Slashdot: What Language Should a Former Coder Dig Into? · · Score: 1
  2. Re:Interesting on Raspberry Pi Reviewed, With an Initial Setup Guide · · Score: 1

    Just asking: how stable is E17 these days?

  3. Re:Trees on New Study Suggests Wind Farms Can Cause Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Here is an idea - solar conentrators + oil-giving algae (50% oil in cell mass). Like a forest on steroids.

  4. Re:Absolutely no information on Scientists Clone Sheep With 'Good' Fat · · Score: 1

    What about multiple competing strains of gut bacteria that convert omegas in humans?

  5. Re:"Humans can't help it" on Magical Thinking Is Good For You · · Score: 1

    Same here, follower of the goddess Diana (Roman). Bulgaria is supposedly a Christian nation, but Diana is guardian of my home town, Montana. Belief is not rational, but that is not its function, it vents and externalizes emotions.

  6. Re:What is wrong with pornography? on UK Bill Again Demands Web Pornography Ban · · Score: 1

    I've been into BDSM for a time, a few years ago. It was actually quite sensual and, well, romantic by comparison with current mainstream porn. Though I've rarely ventured into the most hardcore sites, I think the comparison is quite descriptive.

    RDP

  8. Re:Wayland vs X on Update On Wayland and X11 Support · · Score: 1

    VLC has an ascii-art backend as well.

  9. NNTP on Slashdot Coming Attractions · · Score: 1

    Set up a Gateway. Hell, add in a drug and libertarian sections, if this is gonna be a Facebook for nerds, it goddamn better be a well desgined one. And an mailing list gateway.

  10. Re:I for one don't really mind on Mobile Operators: Creating Artificial Demand For Capacity? · · Score: 1

    Europe, the continent.

  11. Re:The theory: on Mobile Operators: Creating Artificial Demand For Capacity? · · Score: 1

    DS-CDMA, Collaborative CDMA with multi-user detection, Google is your friend. Oh, and Wi-Fi uses CSMA/CA - IOW, the technology sucks, also, the frequency allocation is cramped, limited in power in comparison with unintentional transmiters, with bad propagation charachteristics. With enough processing power, the critical load can be pushed as far away as you want. IOW, you're wrong.

  12. Re:The theory: on Mobile Operators: Creating Artificial Demand For Capacity? · · Score: 1

    Strict regulations on non-intentional transmiters, and bigger spectrum allocations.

  13. Re:And now, for the rest of the story... on In Your Face, Critics! Red Hat Passes $1 Billion In Revenue · · Score: 1
  14. Re:Caching encrypted stuff on S+M Vs. SPDY: Microsoft and Google Battle Over HTTP 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Port S/MIME to HTTP. Done. Oh, and magnet links.

  15. Re:Quick Answer on Qualcomm Calls To 'Kill All Proprietary Drivers For Good' · · Score: 1

    What model is that thinkpad? Are you experiencing unreliable wake up from standby, glitchy wi-fi, ACPI bugs on AC cable [d|r]eattach? Thinkpad Edge 125 here.

  16. Re:Seek times... on After 60 Years, Tape Reinserts Itself · · Score: 1

    IBM employee, or sysadmin in unrelated company that uses their products? Could ou share you perspective on current tech from Big Blue?

  17. Re:This interests me on After 60 Years, Tape Reinserts Itself · · Score: 1

    ZFS, NILFS2, or screw rsync and use git. Or SVN.

  18. Re:Tape never died or lost its supremacy on After 60 Years, Tape Reinserts Itself · · Score: 1

    ATAoE and PoE enclosures, cheaper than a roboic tape library, powersave functions in the OS should spin down unnedded arrays.

  19. Re:Don't honk the horn on You're Driving All Wrong, Says NHTSA · · Score: 1

    It's anti-slip. ESP is for steering.

  20. Re:1366x768 on Windows 8 and Screen Resolution: WXGA Still Most Popular · · Score: 1

    Portait mode?

  21. Re:I hit a will with the garbage collection on Van Rossum: Python Not Too Slow · · Score: 1

    Stop the world garbage collector? Here's a nickel, kid, get youself a better VM. Tracing GC is hard to optimize, ref count is hard to implement, take a pick.

  22. Re:Static vs. Dynamic Typing on Van Rossum: Python Not Too Slow · · Score: 1

    Your C++ guys should look into Qt - rarely is it the case it wont't do great job. Oh, and (vanila) python - no lockless programming, less space efficient GC than any platform nomad would respect - lame. And where is the decent static compiler which time has show is mandatory for Serious Work (TM)?

  23. Re:ssh is permitted? on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With University Firewalls? · · Score: 1

    SSL on port 80 isn't standard practice, but is in spec for http. Do they MITM everything?

  24. Re:What it is the perception of UV? on Followup: Ultraviolet Vision After Cataract Surgery · · Score: 1

    I see low intensity UV as violet, and high as black. Literally, where the light is supposed to fall, it seems like textured darkness.

  25. Re:Wood wasn't enough to fuel the Middle Ages on Carbohydrate-Based Synthesis To Replace Petroleum Derived Hydrocarbons? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention multiple pigments for photosynthetic efficiency.
