  1. Bug on How a 1967 Solar Storm Nearly Led To Nuclear War (space.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd be more worried about a bug. On either side. A bug that triggers the launch a weapon. Or a bug that falsely identify a weapon has been launched.

  2. Re:Proof of China's Superiority... on China Starts Developing Hybrid Hypersonic Spaceplane (popsci.com) · · Score: 2

    Your view of China is 30 years old. Wake up!

  3. Re:fp on Google Ventures CEO and Founder Bill Maris Is Leaving (recode.net) · · Score: -1

    It's a bit off topic, but what means "fp" exactly?

  4. NK's leader has been doing what he wants for many years before an appalled international community. NK is currently building a powerful nuclear arsenal. The West waiting peacefully that something big happens is probably where the ridiculousness resides.

  5. Makes sense on North Korea Hopes To Plant Flag On The Moon Within 10 Years (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    In a few years, after NK shoots Tokyo (by mistake), the great great leader may well be orbiting Earth and even reach the Moon after the harsh retaliation from the West.

  6. Talking about Danish devs.... on Interviews: Ask Ruby on Rails Creator David Heinemeier Hansson a Question · · Score: 1

    Why Denmark is so keen to develop languages? When do we see an interview of Bjarne Stroustrup?

  7. Reading /. daily, usually, I'd be more than surprised if anything was removed from the posts. You, on the other hand, chose to post as AC, removing any legitimacy from your claim.

  8. IBM creates a lot of things on IBM Creates World's First Artificial Phase-Change Neurons (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Things that we have yet to see actually used in something practical.

  9. Re:Inferior compared to my brain ... on IBM Creates World's First Artificial Phase-Change Neurons (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Even the stupidest post requires more intelligence than what the cleverest computer can currently produce. Indeed.

  10. Millennials: no, millennials children: yes, millennials grandchildren: no, .........

  11. Porn is poison for the mind.

    Depends. If you are one of the actors playing in the porn movie, that's more than that.

  12. I beg to disagree. It's not like "the more you have sex, the more you make babies" ; more like the opposite (before any joke flourishes: it's not the number of times you have sex that matters, it's why you do it)

  13. Do you enjoy your retirement years?

  14. Millennials: no, millennials parents: yes, millennials grandparents: no, .........

  15. Floss? Better -> interdental brush on Dental Floss May Have No Medical Benefits, Says AP Report (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Floss is part of the past. Go for interdental brush.

  16. Re:MDWhat? on Hacker Selling Data For 200 Million Yahoo Users On The Dark Web (softpedia.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, they're actually clear text passwords. Yahoo users just enjoy having 32 random hex chars passwords.

  17. Well, after removing duplicates, unused and fake accounts (took time to have captcha at the beginning) you get 2k valid accounts. So the rating seems quite right.

  18. Utility and deviance of the User Agent on New Site Checks Your Browser's Fingerprint · · Score: 1

    The User Agent sent by my browser (Chrome) gives the web server enough information to adjust the page to my device, would it be a desktop, a mobile phone, or the kind of browser... But my UA gives, among others: 1) exact version of the (Mac) OS a.b.c, 2) exact version of chrome a.b.c.d which is IMO too much info. The OS and Chrome should be limited to 2 numbers a.b. We all remember the infamous IE6 ... with only ONE number the web server had enough information to understand it has to deal with a crappy browser.

  19. Re:Chrome extensions on Ask Slashdot: Best Browser Extensions -- 2016 Edition · · Score: 1

    Great. But does your page load at a decent speed after it's been filtered by all those exts?

  20. That makes two of us.

  21. Homemade on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Computer Set-Up Look Like? · · Score: 2

    Gigabyte MB, 8 GB RAM, i5, 2 SSD (one for sys, Ubuntu 14.04 only, soon to become 16.04, one for home+data). A big monitor matte style with no super contrast that kills the eyes. Net via RJ45. Built in 2009 and still fast enough. Testing 16.04, it appears it's even faster!

  22. Thanks for the great answers on The Slashdot Interview With Larry Wall · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Most of them deserve a 5 Insightful + 5 Funny :-)
    Was reluctant to do so, but now it seems I'll have to give Perl 6 a try!

  23. Re:Cloud and cloud, what is cloud?! on Google Deletes Artist's Blog and a Decade Of His Work Along With It (fusion.net) · · Score: 1

    I don't think Google would trash a valid conversation without your consent. Google trend is to keep rather more than less. First of all, even if you reply to the last mail of a conversation, its date-stamp is still the one of the last mail your received in that particular conversation, and not the date stamp of the reply you just sent, i.e. the conversation does not appear at the top of the inbox as you (I at least) would expect. It took me ages to find a conversation (that didn't have a specific keyword to search) that was supposed to be around March 2016, when I replied to it. However the mail received before that was in 2015... Oh and btw, have also a look at the "archives" (in "All mail").

  24. Re:No on Do You Have A Living Doppelgänger? (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    There is probably more assholes than that.

  25. Re:Carter was a great President! on How President Jimmy Carter Saved The Space Shuttle (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    A good actor followed, then.
