  1. Re:If I were SONY... on Sony Employees Receive Email Threat From Hackers: 'Your Family Will Be In Danger · · Score: 1

    Just make sure to leave Sinanju alone. Don't want to piss off Chiun.

  2. Don't they digitally distribute their films? on The Sony Pictures Hack Was Even Worse Than Everyone Thought · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure sony ships out it's films via network to the theaters these days. When a new release comes out, and they dump a terabyte or so to a few thousand theatres... 100 TB could easily be missed or ignored.

  3. Because, while doing do much, it does so little... on For Some Would-Be Google Glass Buyers and Devs, Delays May Mean Giving Up · · Score: 1

    Glass is a nice thing. It's also frustrating as all heck in it's limitations. I want the text on all the signs I read auto translated for me - and overlaid in such a way as to hide the original language text. I want to see the arrows on the ground/roadway showing me where to turn left, not get a tiny message up above my field of vision.

    I want it to give me full on AR, not just auxiliary information.

    Me, I'm hoping that Meta can get the price of these down a bit: https://www.spaceglasses.com/

  4. obligatory XKCD on Ask Slashdot: Programming Education Resources For a Year Offline? · · Score: 2

    They have rocks. And space. That should be enough...

    http://xkcd.com/505/

  5. Re:Crap! on Mathematics Great Alexander Grothendieck Dies At 86 · · Score: 1

    He was off by 3 years. The year that September never ended was 1993, not 1996...

  6. Re:Yes, but the real problem is being ignored. on Washington Dancers Sue To Prevent Identity Disclosure · · Score: 1

    Add any security camera's at the club resulting in it being a child porn factory....

  7. Could always go old school... on Ask Slashdot: Minimizing Oil and Gas Dependency In a Central European City? · · Score: 2

    Minions and a giant hamster wheel hooked to a generator.

    If minions are in short supply, can always put a pig in the wheel. (Might need to swap pigs out every few hours) - but, you save, cause the wheel can be smaller.

  8. Re:The new Microsoft Tracker on Microsoft Enters the Wearables Market With 'Band' · · Score: 1

    It knows when you're sleeping and where you're sleeping, it knows when you're awake and where you go. It provides enough extremely personal data so that, when coupled with your online data trail and banking records, can provide a very accurate picture of every move you make, all you activities, your beliefs, proclivities, and any potentially illegal activities you engage in.

    Um - You've just described Santa Claus.

  9. Where is Peter Dinklage when we need him... on NASA's HI-SEAS Project Results Suggests a Women-Only Mars Crew · · Score: 1

    So - a crew of mostly females and Tyrion then? Sigh. I'm betting there is an HBO writer working on this right at this moment.

  10. Re:I still don't get this. on Consumer Reports: New iPhones Not As Bendy As Believed · · Score: 1

    I sit on my Nokia all the time.

    Countries are rebuilding cobblestone roads using Nokia's instead of rocks to get an increase in durability. Me, I'm wondering how many of the 9 reported bent phones were bent by people who wanted to try to see how strong they were, only to discover exactly how much force it needed to bend.

  11. Re:Maybe on Do Specs Matter Anymore For the Average Smartphone User? · · Score: 1

    Why go to 401 ppi? So they could fit 1920x1080 into that size of screen. If you want users to stream HD video to their phone, having sub-hd resolution isn't going to do it. You don't want your phone to be 25% bigger than the already huge size of the 6+ to meet those display requirements. (326x1.25 is 407 - close enough to 401)

  12. Web sites - yes specs matter on Do Specs Matter Anymore For the Average Smartphone User? · · Score: 1

    Given how bloated web sites are, and the move away from mobile to full desktop web sites, yes, our phones need all the horsepower they can get.

  13. Maybe they have families on Ask Slashdot: How To Avoid Becoming a Complacent Software Developer? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Having kids can eat up a lot of your spare time. While I realize this isn't a problem for that many slashdotters, it has been known to happen to the occasional software developer. Suddenly coping with family can look a lot like burnout, especially in the early years.

  14. Re:Business on Ask Slashdot: How To Avoid Becoming a Complacent Software Developer? · · Score: 5, Informative

    And since when is Obj-C new? It's been out for 31 years now...

  15. As someone with a white macbook... on Chrome For Mac Drops 32-bit Build · · Score: 1

    I'm hoping their auto update thingy won't try to force the 64 bit version (which won't work) down my throat.

  16. So we're doomed to the world of Wall-E? on The Future According To Stanislaw Lem · · Score: 0

    It's full of trash!

  17. Go video go... on SanDisk Releases 512GB SD Card · · Score: 1

    And now we have a decent sized amount of space for digital video. Huzzah!

  18. Rolling roads on To Really Cut Emissions, We Need Electric Buses, Not Just Electric Cars · · Score: 1

    We need to get away from vehicles altogether, and switch over to R.A.H's rolling roads. Portable power supplies? Don't need them.

  19. a[2] = *(a + 2) = *(2 + a) = 2[a]

    You're missing a ; at the end. Other than that, an optimizing compiler should notice that you're assigning something to itself, and make that entire line go away...

  20. 3G is bad... on Grand Ayatollah Says High Speed Internet Is "Against Moral Standards" · · Score: 1

    So - straight to LTE then? I don't blame him for saying 3G is not a good idea. much better tech is out there already. why waste time on 3G?

  21. Re:Could have fooled me on Canada Tops List of Most Science-Literate Countries · · Score: 1

    No, that's Moose and Squirrel...

  22. Re:Pick a different job. on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Wish You'd Known Starting Out As a Programmer? · · Score: 1
  23. Re:Reactors and Magnetic Shielding on Modular Hive Homes Win Mars Base Design Competition · · Score: 1

    Um - dig a hole in the ground?

  24. Re:It Costs Money on Vint Cerf on Why Programmers Don't Join the ACM · · Score: 4, Funny

    Only if you use it just right. http://xkcd.com/323/

  25. Star Citizen on What Happens When Gaming Auteurs Try To Go It Alone? · · Score: 1

    47.9 million via crowdfunding. 'Nuff said.
