  1. Re:I Blame Connectivity on 'The Year That Software Bugs Ate the World' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    I think a major contributor to all these bugs is

    Apple.

  2. Re:Will have to get worse before it gets better on 'The Year That Software Bugs Ate the World' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    This is the real problem. People got used to that bad software service.

  3. Re:This seems extremely disrespectful on Japan Opens First Drive-through Funeral Service (japantimes.co.jp) · · Score: 1

    But... Nagano (Japan) is cold and snowy (Olympics, remember). Of course you guys from SF living 3 months of a mild winter cannot understand.

  4. Re:The name is irrelevent. on Opera Software Changes Name To Otello Corporation (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Name irrelevant? Otter... Otello...

  5. Re:Slow news day? on Opera Software Changes Name To Otello Corporation (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Did you really need a car analogy? Next time you want to talk about a sports car built with a non-detachable trailer, use a browser analogy.

  6. A Quote Recommended By PLATO on A Book Recommendation for Bill Gates: The Story of PLATO · · Score: 1

    ""640K ought to be enough for anybody"

  7. Re:I use car analogies on Ask Slashdot: How Can Programmers Explain Their Work To Non-Programmers? · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between "explaining programming" (which starts from the very basics) and "explaining one's own work" (which is usually more difficult).

  8. Re:Need no explanation on Ask Slashdot: How Can Programmers Explain Their Work To Non-Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Or say "it is complicated, but programming is overrated".

  9. "Well, you see, that form is actually an instance of a subclass that inherits from that object which can be stored into that templated array thanks to polymorphism", then no more question from the non-programmer.

  10. Re:At least Fox News isn't getting sold off on Disney Makes Deal for 21st Century Fox, Reshaping Entertainment Landscape (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why? Fox news seems to be managed by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, though.

  11. Re:Wow! So many architectures! on Avast Launches Open-Source Decompiler For Machine Code (techspot.com) · · Score: 1

    ...but no x86_64.

    yet.

  12. Re:doesnt work on Avast Launches Open-Source Decompiler For Machine Code (techspot.com) · · Score: 1

    Try
    gcc --reverse prog -o prog.c

  13. Re:Art imitating reality on Why Is Anime Obsessed With Power Lines? (atlasobscura.com) · · Score: 1

    This. Look at this one, or that one. This is the reason.

  14. Re:Sales Engineer on Ask Slashdot: Biggest IT Management Mistakes? · · Score: 1

    promised something like running Internet Explorer on AIX.

    Well, that's maybe not possible to do, but, having a customer requesting this insanity is also not possible.

  15. Re:Don't be like Equifax on Ask Slashdot: Biggest IT Management Mistakes? · · Score: 1

    Some people are a lot more than their diploma.

    Indeed. But CIO != CSO. While a CIO is more a manager than a technician, the CSO job is much more specific and demands strong and targeted technical skills.

  16. Re:You didn't say within my own company. on Ask Slashdot: Biggest IT Management Mistakes? · · Score: 1

    The case has been largely publicized, but what about Sony CSO whose company has been repeatedly hacked over the years, thanks to simple tricks like sql injection? Maybe because Sony didn't have a CSO.

  17. apt purge systemd

  18. Re:It violates fundamental Unix principles on Does Systemd Make Linux Complex, Error-Prone, and Unstable? (ungleich.ch) · · Score: 1

    If only it had an editor.

  19. But., but... on Does Systemd Make Linux Complex, Error-Prone, and Unstable? (ungleich.ch) · · Score: 2

    Now that you converted all your start scripts etc... to systemd, to you really want to go back to init?

  20. Re:Apple Watch isn't "nearly useless" without iPho on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Good Smartwatches Or Fitness Trackers? · · Score: 1

    And I wouldn't get an iphone 8 plus to go along with my apple watch... it's an heavy and cumbersome device.

  21. Re:Isn't Voyeurism a CRIME? on People Keep Finding Hidden Cameras in Their Airbnbs (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Airbnb has no interest in making this a big deal, and everything has to be normal, as far as possible. Of course this is a crime, and the voyeur should be severely punished in a court of law.

  22. If he chose a password for a demo, that’s likely an easy one.

  23. Some posts, made by long time /dotters, deeply buried under 5 layers of other +1/2 comments, get amazingly quickly to a +4 or +5...

  24. At last, something fully backwards compatible in Windows.

  25. Windows is used by people who either don't have a choice, or are lazy. Linux (desktop) is used by computer skilled people. Mac (new laptop) is used by people who didn't get yet that Apple products are gone out of style.
