  1. News.. on Users Identified Through Typing, Mouse Movements · · Score: 5, Informative

    How exactly is that new? https://www.keytrac.net/ http://www.intensityanalytics.com/ http://www.idcontrol.com/keystrokeid And there is like half a dozen more.

  2. Re:Pulling an Assange? on NSA WhistleBlower Outs Himself · · Score: 2

    as far as the Feds are concerned he is an admitted criminal, so they don't really have to answer to the media when he disappears.

    Uhm what? Why wouldn't they have to answer to everyone and face criminal procedure themselves for extra-legally executing a citizen?

  3. Re:"Machine Learning" on Wi-Fi Signals Allow Gesture Recognition All Through the Home · · Score: 1

    That's not how machine learning works.

  4. Re:Ask IBM why they left . . . ? on European Commission Launches $12 Billion Chip Support Campaign · · Score: 3, Informative

    Infineon Technologies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infineon_Technologies), a Siemens spin-off do. They actually even have more facilities than listed on the wiki page.

  5. Excellent name on Meet Pidora, the New Official Fedora Remix For Raspberry Pi · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is already providing some immature amusement to Russian speaking individuals.

  6. Re:Might as well... on Why Visual Basic 6 Still Thrives · · Score: 1

    Java is simple in the least common denominator way. The language is very limited, and because it is so inexpressive and full of boilerplate it's the opposite of 'clean'. But those limitations allow low to medium skilled teams to produce code of a somewhat consistent quality, which is why it is so popular in enterprise.

  7. Re:Can't wait on Lawmakers Intent On Approving SOPA, PIPA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    SOPA would cost them so much more than that..

  8. Re:Whats in a name? on Pirate Party UK Looks Forward To 2012 · · Score: 1

    Excuse me? Lack of a proper program? How about this: http://wiki.piratenpartei.de/Parteiprogramm This is in fact the PP's official stance on many issues beyond internet and copyright. It has been worked out and voted on in the process of many party congresses.

  9. Re:Life Adapts on Is the Earth Special? · · Score: 2
  10. Re:Life Adapts on Is the Earth Special? · · Score: 1

    If FTL were possible than so would be time travel and causality violations. And that's kind of icky.

  11. Re:Life Adapts on Is the Earth Special? · · Score: 1

    It's the Inhibitors.

  12. Re:Chrome also runs as root on Bug Opens Chrome to Easy Remote Code Execution · · Score: 2

    Why would you run it as root for the update function instead of using your distro's repositories?

  13. Re:End of the reboot? Hahaha! on HP To Introduce Flash Memory Replacement In 2013 · · Score: 1

    The PC I'm posting this from runs Linux (a rolling release distro even) and has been running for 35 days with many updates applied in that time. Had to restart X when the desktop environment was updated. I will have to reboot for the kernel update though.

  14. Re:Give me a call when... on OCaml For the Masses · · Score: 2

    They compile to native machine code, FYI.

  15. Re:Sandy Bridge-E on AMD Starts Shipping First Bulldozer CPU · · Score: 1

    Having recently assembled a socket 1155 system, I can tell you there is no way for the CPU to shift one bit (see what I did there). The amount of force required to lock it in place is actually scary.

  16. Re:Tested True on Battle of the SATA 3.0 Controllers · · Score: 1

    Could it be that they have better controllers now? I just tested the read speeds with a Marvell controller on an ASRock board and a Marvell-controlled SSD (Crucial m4), which is advertised as having 'up to 415 MB/s' reads. The results of six runs of hdparm -t fall between 383 and 426 (this one twice!) MB/s.

  17. Re:Does it have a decent desktop? on Fedora 16 Alpha Released · · Score: 1

    Pick the one you like: https://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#desktops
    And it's not like you're limited to these few either. No matter what distro, you can always set up a combination of window manager, dock/panel, apps etc. configured precisely the way you like.

  18. Re:Fuel? No. on Anti-Matter Belt Discovered Around Earth · · Score: 1

    Nevermind that 'discovering' such a lump might be very unpleasant.

  19. Re:Good luck with that on Apple Hopes To Drop Samsung As Chip Supplier · · Score: 1

    I believe he spelled it this way intentionally, in order to avoid any potentially existing patent claims to the original spelling. As any law-abiding citizen should do. I would be careful with your use of 'Sir' if I were you. That's a very common and stylish word. Apple might have claims to it.

  20. Re:Does TFA actually explain things? on Biggest Changes In C++11 (and Why You Should Care) · · Score: 2

    even better:
    std::vector<int> vi;
    for(int& i : vi) ...

  21. Re:Python for Android ... FTW! on Oracle Thinks Google Owes $6.1 Billion In Damages · · Score: 1

    Or why not assembly? The answer is, because developers need to get things done.

  22. Re:Necessary for safety. on New FBI Operations Manual Increases Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Obvious troll is obvious.

  23. Hilariously orwellian on Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Unfortunately those fans don't seem to read books. The 1984 parallel of editing the past to fit the political 'truth' of the moment is lost on them.
