  1. Just masturbation on OpenStack: the Open Source Cloud That Vendors Love and Users Are Ignoring · · Score: 1

    This whole cloud thing will blow over. As someone already noted, if you replace "cloud" with "other people's servers" it sounds a lot less appealing and a lot less manageable.
    Do you want to outsource your outsourced infrastructure to a bunch of head-wobblers?

  2. Of course you had a choice on Why Lavabit Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Say no, scram the company, and have your day in court. You didn't have to cave like a pussy.

  3. Moral high ground? on China Bans Government Purchases of Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Classic jumping on the NSA-hatewagon. Are the Chinese less despicable because they're obvious about it? Do they have some moral high ground because at least they're not hypocrites?

  4. Meta-slashvertisement on Linux Sucks (Video) · · Score: 0

    A slashvertisement for this dbag's podcast, in which HE slashvertised for a chat client.

    Meanwhile the rest of us to back to making a living running and using Linux.

    Thanks Linus!

  5. limited field of view on ANTVR - China's Answer To Oculus Rift Is Raising Funds · · Score: -1, Troll

    Early reports indicate it has limited vertical resolution in the field of view.

  6. Anticompetitive when its free? on Report: YouTube Buying Twitch.tv For $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    How can it be anticompetitive when its a free service?

  7. Re:backups on Emory University SCCM Server Accidentally Reformats All Computers Campus-wide · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's what RAID-5 is for, jeez.

  8. Re:TFA spectactularly fails at the Internet on Embedded Devices Leak Authentication Data Via SNMP · · Score: 1

    And I can't spell spectacularly, but that's not the point.

  9. TFA spectactularly fails at the Internet on Embedded Devices Leak Authentication Data Via SNMP · · Score: 1

    SNMP is not secure, which is fine.

    Encoding private data like passwords in a way that it's retrievable via SNMP is retarded, like making your Apache default.html page have the root username and password in it.

    SNMP is a protocol; if you choose to share stupid data over it, you're stupid, not the protocol.

  10. Nuclear is irrelevant on Feds: Sailor Hacked Navy Network While Aboard Nuclear Aircraft Carrier · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Way to sensationalize.

  11. Implicit ownership of the air? on U.S. Passenger Jet Nearly Collided With Drone In March · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Why do commercial airliners have implicit ownership of the airspace? Until recently there's been no practical obstacle to this, but with cheap RC planes becoming available, the democratization of the lower few thousand feet is inevitable.

  12. Go to class every day and dont study for the final on Students Remember Lectures Better Taking Notes Longhand Than Using Laptops · · Score: 1

    I found going to class every day, even hung over, and taking notes in my own hand set me up far better than studying 10 hours for a final and trying to cram it all in.

  13. Re:Terrible summary on Scientists Solve the Mystery of Why Zebras Have Stripes · · Score: 1

    You know, I was going to make a Roland Picquipaille joke, and then I looked, and lo it was Hugh Pickens, the second copypasta/clicktroll master.

  14. Re:Just get a Smart TV on Amazon Launches Android-Powered 'Fire TV' For Streaming and Gaming · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd rather replace/upgrade a $49 widget than a $500 TV.

  15. Can it play remote iTunes libraries? on Amazon Launches Android-Powered 'Fire TV' For Streaming and Gaming · · Score: 1

    I need something that will play iTunes. AppleTV and homebrew fiddly options are out. I need it to just work.

    Also, I'd love to watch what happens when the voice recognition is active and you tell some "go fuck yourself". Will it immediately search for and start playing porn?

  16. Your CTO is an idiot on Ask Slashdot: Do Any Development Shops Build-Test-Deploy On A Cloud Service? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    He doesn't want to manage stuff in house because it's hard. But wait, that's his job, and why he draws C-level pay. If you are not just occasionally using it, the whole advantage of "cloud" goes away, unless you replace it with the concept of "outsource". Which might be his goal all along, either way, I would look for a new job. Cloud would be great if you needed to load test from 1000 machines or something, but even for that there are simulators.

  17. Youtube Personalities? on Indie Game Jam Show Collapses Due To Interference From "Pepsi Consultant" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's not a thing, that's just a narcissist.

  18. Woz was right on Canonical Shutting Down Ubuntu One File Services · · Score: 2

    Woz spoke last year about this - how you should have your data, on your device, in your hand.

  19. Re:another great example... on How Airports Became Ground Zero In the Battle For Peer-to-Peer Car Rentals · · Score: 1

    But you've already identified that this is not a free market, which makes your post nothing more than an extremely poor troll.

    -1, Douche

  20. Of course it was calm on 8.2 Earthquake Off the Coast of Chile, Tsunami Triggered · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Chile is a civilized country, a beacon of democracy and reason in the otherwise chaotic pile of shit known as South America.

  21. Or use a real camera on Apple Patent Could Herald Interchangeable iPhone Camera Lenses · · Score: 0

    You're still stuck with the shitty sensor and tiny lens on the camera itself, regardless of what hipster filter you stick on it.

  22. Re:Are they getting DoSed? on Western Digital 'MyCloud' Is Down 5 Days and Counting · · Score: 2

    Begun, the Cloud War has?

  23. Re:Editors on MariaDB 10 Released, Now With NoSQL Support · · Score: 0

    Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra, ra-ra-ra-ra.

  24. Re:energy from BRAKING - best for stop-and-go on Prototype Volvo Flywheel Tech Uses Car's Wasted Brake Energy · · Score: 1

    "If you hit the brakes and stay at a low speed for five minutes, it does nothing."

    Which is exactly the problem that I outlined in my point, although you seem to have achieved a +5, Obvious mark for it.

  25. Editors on MariaDB 10 Released, Now With NoSQL Support · · Score: 0

    "that is many time more faster than MySQ"

    That's the most awesome thing I've read all day. LOL. Or should I say, ROR.
