  1. Re:Add-ons on Ask Slashdot: Best Big Battery Phone? · · Score: 2

    It's interesting how, the same way we are going back to the old concept of mainframe with the cloud thing, we're also making our "mobile" phones wired again.

  2. Re:Hmmm ... on Free Tools For Detecting Hacking Team Malware In Your Systems · · Score: 1

    Yeah, just remove the red jumper.

  3. I'd pay to see her killing all the demons in a Linux machine.

  4. Re:This is a FANTASTIC scam! I want in! on Techies Hire Witch To Protect Computers From Viruses and Offices From Spirits · · Score: 1

    And for only 50 bucks I'll exorcize Windows from your computer.

  5. Re:MeeGo on Nokia Wants To Make Phones Again · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, people either got a very good phone (in terms of quality) or a very bad one. I'm in the former group. The only downside is that it is too bulky, but I can cope with that.

  6. MeeGo on Nokia Wants To Make Phones Again · · Score: 2

    Recently I bought a Nokia N9. It's not as cool as my good old N900 (which is still my primary cellphone), but MeeGo really looked promising. Why did they ditch it in such a bad manner is something that still puzzles me.

  7. Re:No Keychain on Researchers Find Major Keychain Vulnerability in iOS and OS X · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a perfect "edge case". It's incredible, though, the amount of people that heavily rely on auto-saved stuff.

  8. Inertia? on The Reason For Java's Staying Power: It's Easy To Read · · Score: 1

    The last two major releases (7 and 8) have been awful. I think the only reason why Java still gets so much attention is because there's a lot of time and money already invested on Java applications. As a Java developer and FOSS advocate myself, I have to confess that I'm closely following the results of Microsoft flirting with the open source community. I never thought I would say such thing, though.

  9. Forcing application interface binding? on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Solve a Unique Networking Issue? · · Score: 1

    Can you run multiple instances of the application? In that case, this (or a similar application) could be helpful. The idea is to make every instance to use a particular interface. I also thought that maybe, if the application can be run using wine, you could lunch multiple instances on a Linux box, each one using a different network configuration, but seems that it's not possible.

  10. On a loosely-related note on Drone Flying Near White House Causes Lockdown · · Score: 1

    Last night, some football fans in Argentina managed to smuggle a whole drone into a stadium and flew it over the field (see picture 3/11) just before to start an epic disturb.

  11. And it totally redefines the concept of "cloud services".

  12. Re:Another slashvertisement on Nearly Half of Game of Thrones Season 5 Leaks Online · · Score: 1

    How can a deer be part of a wolves clan? Shouldn't it be a Baratheon?

  13. Re:GitHub Importer? on Google Code Disables New Project Creation, Will Shut Down On January 25, 2016 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Sourceforge already has one, FYI.

  14. Re:Well, Dice finally did it on Microsoft Closing Two Phone Factories In China · · Score: 1

    Just a bug. Will be back.

    The bug or the feature?

  15. Re:design flaw with placement of antenna on Lost Beagle2 Probe Found 'Intact' On Mars · · Score: 5, Funny

    So... blame it on the Martians for holding it wrong?

  16. Re:Even I bought a PS1 and PS4 on The PlayStation Turns 20 · · Score: 2

    Well, you should stop hating, it's no good for your heart. I don't buy Sony hardware anymore (except for gaming stuff ) because the quality of their products has decreased dramatically these last years. But I have to admit that the PS (portable and "desktop") is a neat piece of hardware, despite of their stupid content delivery policies and stuff like making proprietary memory cards for the PS Vita. PS is a classical example of good engineering and broken management.

  17. Re:Windows 8 on Steve Ballmer Authored the Windows 3.1 Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen · · Score: 2

    A friend of mine told me recently that he got one by putting his laptop on hibernation while the peripherals were still connected. He disconnected them while in hibernation, and then woke the system up again.

  18. Re:MADMADMAD on Amazon To Buy Twitch For $970 Million · · Score: 1

    he/she gets lucky and also picks the right people to do the real work

    Well, apparently that's harder than it seems.

  19. Re:Call me on Android Wear Is Here · · Score: 1

    it's not meant to be used to tell you the time

    Then they shouldn't call them watches.

  20. Re:How do they handle water? on Android Wear Is Here · · Score: 1

    For some reason I read "IPv6-resistant".

  21. Re:Funny Read on Pentagon Document Lays Out Battle Plan Against Zombies · · Score: 1

    I found specially funny the possibility of facing EMZ (Evil Magic Zombies)

  22. Re:Embedded on Linux May Succeed Windows XP As OS of Choice For ATMs · · Score: 1

    I'm totally for Overcharging Olinguito, it'd be onerously cute.

    I hope Turkish FB and YT users use this time to read a book.

  24. Re:Too Little, Too Late & MtGox on The New PHP · · Score: 1

    There's another (minor) reason to prefix variables with $: That way you can use "reserved" words as variable or field names, say $class, $abstract, etc.
