  1. Re: ipv6 on Why the Journey To IPv6 Is Still the Road Less Traveled · · Score: 1

    Windows has had IPv6 stacks since Windows 95 and Microsoft even started supplying them as of 98.

    You seem to be the kind of person to dislike whatever is new, right? I bet you didn't like slashdot beta neither, did you?

  8. Where will be the next quiet place? on Google Ready To Unleash Thousands of Balloons In Project Loon · · Score: 1

    Where do we have to go next to find a place not infested with radio waves? North/South poles? Middle of the ocean?

  9. Re:YES the must be dicks on FBI Accuses Researcher of Hacking Plane, Seizes Equipment · · Score: 1

    Messing around on an aircraft in flight, where he can't be certain that a misplaced keystroke won't cause death, is criminal negligence or worse

    If you are in the very plane you're hacking, it's suicide.

  10. Re:in other news... on StarTalk TV Show With Neil DeGrasse Tyson Starts Monday · · Score: 1

    Do you put religion and science on the same level? Which you like better, like oranges or bananas? Science is a way to learn about things rationally then you make up your mind. Religion is a way to learn things by having ideas imposed on you. It's certainly healthier to learn science first, then you decide if you want to be interested in religion as well.

    Did they really say "no calculator allowed" before the exam?

  15. Re:title is wrong on Chess Grandmaster Used iPhone To Cheat During Tournament · · Score: 1

    He has to be good at chess enough to only use the iPhone for decisive moves. Any player being (effectively) -200 ELO compared to a GM he's fighting would likely lose quickly, even with the help of a computer every 10 moves.

  16. Re:Not a shocking revelation to be honest . . on Chess Grandmaster Used iPhone To Cheat During Tournament · · Score: 1

    Cheating is rampant in all things anymore. He's a grandmaster until he gets caught cheating.

    Well, if all grandmasters are proved to be cheating, that'll just lower the GM bar and all GM may keep being GM.

  17. TFS is missing important data... on Allegation: Lottery Official Hacked RNG To Score Winning Ticket · · Score: 1

    On December 23, a little more than a month after Tipton allegedly tampered with the computers, a man at a convenience store was video taped buying a Hot Lotto ticket that later won the $14.3 million payout.

The winning ticket went unclaimed for almost a year. Hours before it was scheduled to expire, a company incorporated in Belize tried to claim the prize through a New York attorney

  18. Re:4K on Sharp Announces 4K Smartphone Display · · Score: 1

    I'm certainly not the best Windows / MS supporter. However when it comes to the man, whatever we may think he did, he deserves at least the benefit of the doubt. Bill Gates may have said "640K is enough" at the time, but don't over underestimate him to insinuate he said "640K will always be enough".

  19. Re:The Onion mandatory analogy on Sharp Announces 4K Smartphone Display · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the DSLR cameras megapixels race. The 5 D mark III has a resolution of 50 MP. Not only that makes huge file sizes, it takes ages to move or process a bunch of them, but the focus shift and (most) lenses intrinsic resolution cannot cope with such high definition (in other terms, a lot of 2-adjacent pixels are identical).

    Bill Gates never said that, btw.

  21. Bit suprised that was not the case, already on Legislation Would Force Radio Stations To Pay Royalties · · Score: 1

    In France, the SACEM is in charge of having any "music player" to pay something. "Music players" include TV, radio, nightclubs and even restaurants, cafés... someone plays some music, and there is always a SACEM agent to ensure they pay something, these people are as sticky as a pita.
