  1. Re:development environment? on Assembly Code That Took America to the Moon Now Published On GitHub (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Most of the time it was probably ed-like editor via teletype terminal.

  2. VPN? on Simple Rogue WiFi Hotspot Captures High Profile Data · · Score: 2

    I'd say use VPN and enjoy even dodgiest open WiFi hotspots.

  3. Lets start with marketing on Mercedes-Benz's Self-Driving Concept Car Is Here · · Score: 0

    Who cares about engineering, right?

  4. Re:No. on Report: Microsoft To Buy Minecraft Studio For $2bn+ · · Score: 2

    But on the other hand, notch is already a millionaire, right?

    Maybe he wants to start his own space program?

    Maybe they're just being nice?

  7. Re:In a week it'll need to be updated to @toredits on Bot Tweets Anonymous Wikipedia Edits From Capitol Hill · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's even better! Imagine the headache for NSA staff if TOR becomes popular in congress.

  8. Religion is not the only/main reason on The Problem With Congress's Scientific Illiterates · · Score: 1

    You do not have to be religious to say "This will never be profitable. Lets subsidize this good old proven industry which creates jobs and wealth for all of us".

  9. Sure on Mars Rover Opportunity Faces New Threat: Budget Ax · · Score: 1

    Go ahead if you can pay for using Deep Space Network: http://deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov/

  10. upside of BETA on Dried Meat "Resurrects" Lost Species of Whale · · Score: 1

    I actually read TFA because it's too painful to stay here.

  11. some reasons in my company on Ask Slashdot: Why Do Mobile Versions of Websites Suck? · · Score: 1
    1. Stakeholders do not understand KISS.
    2. Good designers that actually think about their design implementation are rare beasts. Most just draw whatever they like visually like.
    3. Again, stakeholders do not understand how responsive design works. They ask different for different things from desktop and mobile sites.
    4. As a result of things I listed above developers maintain two fairly different frontends.
    5. After a while stakeholders forget we have two versions of the website and plan new features with one (desktop or mobile) version in mind. Some developers just send them back to drawing board, some implement whatever they ask and add even more fragmentation.
  12. Re:News sites will stop allowing comments. on EU Court Holds News Website Liable For Readers' Comments · · Score: 1

    No loss? In case of Lithuanian branch it'd be pure win for mental health of the readers. You have no idea how crap it is.

    My doctor says it's OK for me to argue with myself as long as I wear a Bluetooth headset.

  14. Re:Being treated like they matter on Do Developers Need Free Perks To Thrive? · · Score: 1

    Yes, show your developers matter. I didn't realize this until I joined my current workplace. Asking for IDE license? (approx 1/20th of my monthly pay): "We'll look at that". Multiple times. Complaining your machine is crap? (laptop with 4 gigs of ram, maxed out): no reaction at all. Asking HR to purchase bicycle via cycle scheme?: "We'll look at that" (3 months now, not a single step taken). Needless to say I'm looking for a new place.

  15. Porn is only first step on No Porn From Public WiFi Hotspots In the UK Proposed · · Score: 1

    Next will be "questionable" sites like erowid.org.

  16. It's about time to email your friends on Real-Time Gmail Spying a 'Top Priority' For FBI This Year · · Score: 1

    ...about explosive news from Washington. It's going to be a bomb when public knows it!

  17. Yeah, I don't pay road tax via gasoline but that also means I pay a lot less to foreign countries for oil and spend more in local economy. Complaints about cyclists not paying road tax is bullshit.

  18. Re:Already at 5G? on Britain Could Switch Off Airport Radar and Release 5G Spectrum · · Score: 1

    I bet by the time those new passive radars are rolled out to production you will know 5G very well.

    while your mom screams at you because you're late for dinner

    Fixed that for you.

  20. Re:Good. on French ISP Blocking Web Ads By Default · · Score: 2

    Until badly implemented ad-blocking proxy messes up websites you browse... I'd say leave it to browser side plugins like Adblock Plus.

  21. Sooo... on Learn Linux the Hard Way · · Score: 2

    Who will be the first to make a Puppet tutorial running multiple networked Linux instances in your browser?

  22. Two words: on Apple Kills a Kickstarter Project - Updated · · Score: 2

    Walled garden. That is all.

  23. Re:Beast of burden on DARPA's Headless Robotic Mule Takes Load Off Warfighters · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I know it's pricey and not perfect, but some cons of a mule compared to this machine:

    • You can't chuck a mule into storage to wait until it's required
    • You can't ship a mule in a, say, container
    • You can't (at least easily) airdrop a mule
    • You can't temporary hide a mule for couple days in a forest or under snow
    • You cannot remotely controll a mule
    • Mules might have difficulties in staying calm when bullets and bombs start flying arround
    • In case of injury the whole mule must be replaced, no spares

    Disclaimer: neither military, nor mule specialist ... Based on very general understandment about military

  24. Re:Unusable? on 30 Days Is Too Long: Animated Rant About Windows 8 · · Score: 2

    Happy user of Lenovo X1. Got it with Windows8 (no other option), played for 4 hours and installed Ubuntu. And since Windows for some reason showed me that there's only 65 gigs of free space left on my shiny new computer with 128Gb(Gib?) SSD I wiped windows cleanly (including recovery partition).

    I also got a new Dell workstation at work. Not sure if it was managements fault or there is no choice but it came with Windows8, which was wiped immediately. Got it on VirtualBox now for IE testing which is about 1hr/month. I'm not sure if many of those millions had a choice.

  25. Let me guess... on UK Government Changes Tack and Demands Default Porn Block · · Score: 2

    After this is introduced other so called "questionable content" websites will slowly start appearing in the blacklist. Want to know more about drugs / safety / etc? Too bad, you're too young to know anything and have an opinion.
