  1. Why the hell would I want to give your wife the ability to erase my phone?

    To remove the evidence?

  2. Recommendation against on Ask Slashdot: Advice For Domain Name Registration? · · Score: 1

    I can only say anyone but GoDaddy.

  3. Zombies! on Not Quite Dead: SCO Linux Suit Against IBM Stirs In Utah · · Score: 1

    Somebody shoot the zombie in the head!

  4. Full Disclosure on Was Linus Torvalds Right About C++ Being So Wrong? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Could we stop having Dice articles submitted by Nerval's Lobster? Why not fully disclose that the story was submitted by the corporate parent of Slashdot?

  5. Re:Why Force Your Children to Live in the Past? on Ask Slashdot: Should I Let My Kids Become American Citizens? · · Score: 1

    The Euro is imploding...not Europe. I am sure they will pull themselves out of their economic slump and be fine. I figure European countries are a better model...the US is only 350 years old...most of the European countries have survived over a millenia.

  6. Re: Politics aside for a moment. on Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email At State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules · · Score: 0

    didn't they think it odd to address their emails to the Secretary of State at pantsuit@hillary2016.org?

    No...because they were sending them to pantsuit2016@gmail.com . Everyone uses Gmail these days...

  7. Re:Chemical Weapons Mag? on 100 Years of Chemical Weapons · · Score: 1

    Anyone else find it a little disturbing there's a chemical weapons magazine?

    No, not really. It's the nuclear weapons magazine that I'm really concerned about...

  8. Bad joke on Lenovo Allegedly Installing "Superfish" Proxy Adware On New Computers · · Score: 1

    So you could say the fish was caught?

  9. Re:You'll get a princess if you raise a princess on Programmer Father Asks: What Gets Little Girls Interested In Science? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Same here...I'm also the father of all girls. They dress up as princesses, just as easily as they do science experiments, assemble a PC, or do math. Being a princess and "girly" is not mutually exclusive to being smart and independent.

  10. Re:What service, exactly, is Nielsen providing? on Nielsen Will Start Tracking Netflix and Amazon Video · · Score: 1

    Yes, in fact, they have an API for this. Many sites use it like instantwatcher.com. Seems easier to just get an agreement written up with the streaming companies to provide the raw data.

  11. Re:Population not growing on Denmark Plans To Be Coal-Free In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    You mean we're supposed to read the articles now...?

  12. Population not growing on Denmark Plans To Be Coal-Free In 10 Years · · Score: 1

    I guess that is achievable when your population is flatlining and possibly about to decline.

  13. meetings? on Hackers Breach White House Network · · Score: 1

    Weaponized Powerpoint files? Sounds like the average management meeting around here...

  14. Re:OOOOooo "dozens warned they MAY need to flee" on Lava Flow In Hawaii Gains Speed, Triggers Methane Explosions · · Score: 1

    It's not THAT remote (my cellphone worked as of end of last year there). We tourists tend to pass through Pahoa on the way down for the tours hiking across the lava fields or taking the boats out to the old lava egress points on the ocean. Need highway 130 for that...should this lava bisect the town, it is going to hurt the volcano tourism industry significantly Pahoa also is the last place for a pitstop or some food on the way south too.

  15. Interesting spinoff on IBM Pays GlobalFoundries $1.5 Billion To Shed Its Chip Division · · Score: 1

    As they say "when the chips are down..."

  16. Re:Prison population on As Prison Population Sinks, Jails Are a Steal · · Score: 1

    And 26% of people will immediately post correcting them.

  17. Re:Prison population on As Prison Population Sinks, Jails Are a Steal · · Score: 2

    I read on the internet that 92% of statistics are made up. Then again, I also ready that 84% of people are bad at math, whereas 28% are not.

  18. Conversion on Torvalds: I Made Community-Building Mistakes With Linux · · Score: 1

    There's a metric sh*#load of those.

    So...what is that in imperial measurements?

  19. I ran shielded CAT5e outside underneath the vinyl siding. No drywall holes to patch, no fish tape to use, and very easy cable runs. Just poke through where you want the drop and use some sealant. If you look at the house, you can't even tell where the cable runs are.

  20. Re:Desktop use and DVD playback on What's Been the Best Linux Distro of 2014? · · Score: 1

    I would pick 1 of 2:
    1. Ubuntu
    2. Fedora

  21. Re:Same as it's been forever. on What's Been the Best Linux Distro of 2014? · · Score: 1

    This.

    Try running Microsoft Integration services on anything other than a RHEL derivative. Same with CA, Symantec, and who knows how many other closed source software providers. They only supply binaries and instructions for Red Hat. Therefore, those of us who need to run large systems that have third party software tend to prefer Red Hat's ecosystem.

  22. Re:Monitoring software on Outsourced Tech Jobs Are Increasingly Being Automated · · Score: 1

    Then again, much of western Europe plays to a more labor friendly environment. Far more days off, no copays/deductibles/coinsurance plus premium healthcare...and even have paternity leave. The guy has a point...all these advancements were supposed to lower our workday. Instead, the average worker has lost benefits (pension plans, more burden on healthcare, less vacation days), and is far more productive...with much lower wages.

  23. Parenthood on Obama Administration Argues For Backdoors In Personal Electronics · · Score: 2

    I have kids. I think of them. I have no need for these backdoors Eric Holder wants. I know what my kids do and who is with them. Please stop the "think of the children" excuses for these intrusions.

  24. Re:rather telling. on Microsoft's Asimov System To Monitor Users' Machines In Real Time · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is still so divorced from its customer base

    Divorced? Some of us prefer a retraining order...

  25. Re:Start menu usage dropped in lieu of what? on Microsoft's Asimov System To Monitor Users' Machines In Real Time · · Score: 1

    Yeah..funny seeing as my Slashdot ID is older than 15 years...
