  1. Re:If I recall..... on Quantum Teleportation Sends Information 143 Kilometers · · Score: 1

    You can't choose the state, it cannot be manipulated expecting the other particle is manipulate the exact opposite way. You entangle them, separate them and then read their state simultaneously, their states will then be the exact opposites.

  2. Re: Maybe on Genetically Engineering Babies a Moral Obligation, Says Ethicist · · Score: 1

    I had the exact same thoughts. It then occurred to me that random mutation isn't any better at preparing us for that cataclysmic event. Random mutations will still happen, we are just adding our own selection.
    If we are picking strength and mental agility I can't really see this going the wrong way. It's actually just an acceleration of the selection process we use when picking mates.

  3. Re:Why the skycrane? on MSL Landing Timeline: What To Expect Tonight · · Score: 5, Informative

    Dust. You don't want martian dust stirred up by the rockets covering all of the mechanics once you have landed.

  4. Re:WordStar? on OAuth 2.0 Standard Editor Quits, Takes Name Off Spec · · Score: 1

    I'm gonna stop you right there. You should get a big slap in the face for saying REST and SOAP are on the same level!
    SOAP sucks big monkeyballs and REST doesn't, period.

  5. Passpack on Ask Slashdot: What's Holding Up Single Sign-On? · · Score: 1

    I use passpack. I see a lot of people using lastpass. I honestly think passpack is better.
    I began using passpack, switched to lastpass and then switched back to passpack.
    How is it going with the implementation of tags over at lastpass? Still using single groups instead?
    The cool thing about passpack is the javascript bookmarklet for one click signon, no need for any extension...

  6. Re:"costly equipments" on Qubits Stored at Room Temp For Two Seconds · · Score: 0

    Suddenly macs don't seem so expensive any longer, eh?

  7. Re:What's the advantage? Why does it matter? on Women's Enrollment In Computer Science Correlates Negatively With Net Access · · Score: 1

    I do not have anything to back this up, but my suspicion is that women are not only underrepresented but HUGELY underrepresented in this field.

    Sure: pick any other male dominated field of work and you might see the same underrepresentation.
    CS is different though, it resembles physics, mathematics and other fields, where women are represented quite well. It's a white collar job. I suspect no other white collar job has this kind of underrepresentation of women..(?) Am I on to something here or is this nonsense?

    Haha, you're an idiot.

  10. Re:There is a huge positive bias on Assessing Media Bias: Microsoft Vs. Everyone Else · · Score: 1

    Where did you come up with that pile of crap? Once a standard is "out there", how can a single company remove those benefits from the community?

    Take a guess. They control 90% of the consumer PC market. Or did, at least. You don't think that is enough power to do something like that?

  11. Re:Not really needed on Ask Slashdot: Finding an IT Job Without a Computer-Oriented Undergraduate Degree · · Score: 1

    most places I've seen could care less about the degree if you can get the work done.

    So you are saying that they actually do care to some extent whether you have a degree. Do me a favor and watch this video.

  12. Re:he got rich from fraud on Man Convicted For Helping Thousands Steal Internet Access · · Score: 5, Insightful

    don't to the crime if you cant do the time

    I know, but 20 years?!?! Are they serious? That is an insane amount of time for a non-violent crime!

  13. Re:Aren't all CAPTCHAs doomed to fail eventually? on Researchers Break Video CAPTCHAs · · Score: 2

    "Anything a computer can generate it can understand."
    Well that's besides the point, isn't it? A computer can generate and understand hashes, but that does not mean they are easily breakable

    You just need to make the decoding much harder than the encoding. There must still be computational areas in the visual domain where we humans are way more efficient.

    Can we please ban infoworld links for a while?!?! In the last two months, everything that linked to an article there was complete and utter rubbish!

  17. Had the same problem - WNR3500L on Ask Slashdot: Best Flash-Friendly Router To Replace Aging WRT54GS? · · Score: 1

    I had the same issue, I wanted Gigabit Ethernet and stumbled upon tomatousb during my research. It works really well together with the Netgear WNR3500L.
    It can share a USB HDD via SMB has really good 802.11n tuning and loads of other special features (like VPN and DLNA).

  18. Netgear WNR3500L on Ask Slashdot: Good Gigabit 802.11N Home Router? · · Score: 1
    I would definetly recommend the Netgear WNR3500L (http://www.netgear.com/home/products/wirelessrouters/work-and-play/WNR3500L.aspx)

    I just bought it myself and installed a tomato mod on it (http://tomatousb.org/). To flash it, you first need to install a mini version of DD-WRT on it (http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_WNR3500L).

    I am thoroughly impressed by the featureset you get with it.

    • USB port that can be used for a file share, usb printer and all other kinds of stuff
    • Great user friendly interface
    • QOS
    • 2 openVPN servers
    • Bandwidth throttling for different clients
    • Monitoring of clients and bandwidth usage
    • All kinds of wireless tweaking
    • And lots of other stuff

  25. bullshit on Could Apple Kill Off Mac OS X? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is total linkbait. Just like the one from pcworld asking whether OS X Lion could be Apples Vista. This article has no research behind it whatsoever, I do not understand how this trash can get on slashdot, it annoys me. A single quote: "iOS is mainstream: Mac OS X isn’t and likely never will be." Based on what research?!?! Just yesterday at the keynote, they announced that the OS X platform has risen to new heights and the PC market has shrunk. Android is gaining on the smartphone market. Why the hell would they bet everything on one horse if they have two that perform perfectly well?!
