  1. Why did he roll like a pussy? on Man Booted From Southwest Flight and Threatened With Arrest After Critical Tweet · · Score: 0

    I'd have told SWA "Go ahead and call the cops. You'll hear from my lawyer."

  2. Better late than never, Slashdot on Western US States Using Up Ground Water At an Alarming Rate · · Score: 2

    People have been talking about this ever since (and likely before) T Boone Pickens stole the water in western TX.

  3. whats wrong with glasses? on Laser Eye Surgery, Revisited 10 Years Later · · Score: 2

    Especially for those of us who aren't blind without them, what's wrong with putting a pair of glasses on for certain tasks?

  4. Daily Elon Musk article on SpaceX Releases Video of Falcon Rocket's Splashdown · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Just in case Slashdotters were missing it, here's your chance to furiously masturbate to your daily Elon Musk spam.

  5. Re:Similar argument for desktops on Privacy Lawsuit Against Google Rests On Battery Drain Claims · · Score: 1

    Really? You can have IE NOT check CRLs every time you open a window?

  6. Pay people to dig holes, then fill them on China Plans Particle Colliders That Would Dwarf CERN's LHC · · Score: 1

    They have hundreds of millions of single men which they need to keep employed.

    Good thing the US is mortgaging its future to keep China together today.

  7. Re:Similar argument for desktops on Privacy Lawsuit Against Google Rests On Battery Drain Claims · · Score: 1

    I'm bandwidth-constrained. I'd prefer Windows didn't suck up bytes when I didn't ask it to. Is that so hard?

  8. "my preferred Android podcast app..." on Amazon Fire Phone Reviews: Solid But Overly Ambitious · · Score: 0

    Lost interest right there. The author sounds hipster.

  9. Make sammiches on The Daily Harassment of Women In the Game Industry · · Score: 1

    You'd be harassed less if you weren't uptight. Also, if you brought in cookies or sandwiches.

  10. Re:About time something is happening on UK Cabinet Office Adopts ODF As Exclusive Standard For Sharable Documents · · Score: 1

    If your job requires you to send a resume electronically, you should have the skills to create a PDF; they kind of go hand in hand. It's actually a clever sort device on the part of HR. (Not that I'm accusing HR of ever being clever).

  11. Re:a question.... on Oso Disaster Had Its Roots In Earlier Landslides · · Score: 1

    +1 if I had it. So often you hear about these "catastrophes" when it's people moving into dangerous areas. Like people on the East Coast and hurricanes.

    These folks didn't "expect" the slide to be stable, they "hoped" it would be.

  12. Similar argument for desktops on Privacy Lawsuit Against Google Rests On Battery Drain Claims · · Score: 1

    Windows users: set a system-wide proxy and watch the traffic to Microsoft on a regular basis. Windows update, CRL, other mysterious links, and of course their associated DNS queries. How much bandwidth does that suck up?

  13. let them all use distcc on Ask Slashdot: Linux Login and Resource Management In a Computer Lab? · · Score: 1

    To paraphrase Syndrome: When everyone's impacted by everyone's compile, no-one is.

    Also, find me something other than a full kernel compile that takes measurable amounts of time on a real machine.

  14. Read The Demon in the Freezer on Why Are the World's Scientists Continuing To Take Chances With Smallpox? · · Score: 2

    Short answer, smallpox control has never really been that good. Also an answer - each government wants to keep the only supply as a potential weapon.

  15. what environments allow USB boot? on Exodus Intelligence Details Zero-Day Vulnerabilities In Tails OS · · Score: 1

    What kind of real environment allows boot from a USB drive?

  16. Re: So on A New Form of Online Tracking: Canvas Fingerprinting · · Score: 1

    Only pussies use sudo.

  17. Re:What about extending FIOS to us DSL users? on Verizon Boosts FiOS Uploads To Match Downloads · · Score: 1

    Doesn't your phone provider get cranky about your "unlimited" use of the 4G?

  18. What about extending FIOS to us DSL users? on Verizon Boosts FiOS Uploads To Match Downloads · · Score: 2

    Call me when I can get more than 3 Mbps. Bastards.

  19. Re:What are the other 99% supposed to do? on California In the Running For Tesla Gigafactory · · Score: 1

    Or you could have zero jobs. It's not Tesla's responsibility to provide you with a livelihood.

  20. I was worried for a minute on California In the Running For Tesla Gigafactory · · Score: 4, Funny

    Slashdot hadnt yet posted anything about Elon Musk today. My groupthink-o-meter was starting to dip back down below 'fellate'.

  21. Re:That's not an Orion... on A Look At NASA's Orion Project · · Score: 0

    +1, Footfall reference

    Build it over some brown country, light the fuse, and we're off to the stars.

  22. Re:Time to get rid of Tor on Critroni Crypto Ransomware Seen Using Tor for Command and Control · · Score: 1

    And those countries instantly became bastions of freedom? Hint: no they didn't. People think Internet = magical standard of living raiser, and it isn't. It's just another tool to control the population.

  23. Re:complex application example on Linux Needs Resource Management For Complex Workloads · · Score: 1

    a) Your UDP buffers probably suck. OOB RedHat gives you 128K, and each packet takes up 2304 bytes of buffer space. Try 100MB, or whatever YOUR_RATE/2304 works out to.
    b) Pull off the queue and buffer in RAM as fast as you can
    c) Have a second thread read from RAM
    d) Don't invoke scripts to process each packet, you're spinning all your time in process creation. In fact, don't use interpreted scripts at all.

  24. Re:headed in the wrong direction on EPA Mulling Relaxed Radiation Protections For Nuclear Power · · Score: 2

    When does it, versus the notion of "protecting the children" ? If you think that the government and associated puppet regulators actually have anyone's good as their goal, think again.

  25. /usr/bin/host ? on New Mayhem Malware Targets Linux and UNIX-Like Servers · · Score: 1

    So this only works if you have /usr/bin/host installed?
