  1. Re:I wonder how much Bouman actually contributed. on The Black Hole Image Data Was Spread Across 5 Petabytes Stored On About Half a Ton of Hard Drives (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Looks like a square to me.

  2. Man! I just realized that I have been on Slashdot longer than several of my team members have been alive!

    Fuck :O 20 years!

    Get off my lawn!

  3. Temp is short for temperamental - which is why they can't get full time employment.

  5. Re:Try explaining that... on Apple Releases iMessage Deregistration Utility · · Score: 1

    It's not even simply when you move away. Case in point; My wife and eldest daughter are currently in Oz. With Three Mobile, they get free calls and SMS as though they were in the UK. My youngest daughter is still in the UK. My choices at the moment;

    1) Turn off iMessage on my iPhone so that I can communicate with wife and daughter in Oz, but not be able to communicate with youngest daughter or anyone else using an iPhone in the UK.
    2) Leave iMessage on and vice-versa.
    3) Constantly switch between the two in the hope of intercepting one of the protocols.

    It's a truly annoying high-jacking of a protocol by Apple.

    That's all.

    I can't speak for GS but, in my own industry, this type of email must be encrypted by law.

  8. Re:I made the switch on Ask Slashdot: Switching From SAS To Python Or R For Data Analysis and Modeling? · · Score: 1

    You made the switch by switching jobs. That isn't the answer to the original question.

  9. Re:Apples, meet Oranges... on Ask Slashdot: Switching From SAS To Python Or R For Data Analysis and Modeling? · · Score: 1

    You can run SAS in pretty much any backend too.

  10. Without a list of the installed SAS components this is pretty much impossible to answer.

    If you have the full eBI/eDI suite and a host of "solutions", then you're going to be spending a lot of time in R/Python trying to replicate the years that SAS has spent on developing that environment.
    If you have core modules - BASE, STAT, ETL etc, then you can "program" at a relatively low level to your heart's content.

    More info please.

  12. Eh? on CIA Pays AT&T Millions To Voluntarily Provide Call Data · · Score: 2

    Ok. I'll bite. "Pays" ..... "Voluntarily". So that's an inducement right?

  13. Re:Typical big outsourced project... on Healthcare.gov Official Resigns, Website Still a Disaster · · Score: 1

    As someone currently paddling through a large IT project at the moment, I wish I had mod points today. Every single one of your points are totally correct.

    What you're describing there is the Internet equivalent of living on dollar bags of fried food and complaining that you're fat.

    The IRA used to do this so that they could target the security forces dealing with facilitating the evacuation and then the medical services coming to attend the blown to pieces security services.

    For what it's worth (and it's totally pointless unless you're a fan of Microsoft's Solitaire), you can already run (http://atomicvindaloo.com/?p=324) Windows 3.1 on the N95 8GB
