  1. Re:And the bully said... on Former DHS Official Blames Privacy Advocates For TSA's Aggressive Procedures · · Score: 1

    No, it's the contrapositive of the more famous saying.

  2. Re:202 mph on Ferrari's New Car Tech Idea: Make Car Go Really Fast · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's about 325 kmph. The Bugatti Veyron has a top speed of over 406 kmph. What's so special about this Ferrari?

  4. Re:Huh? on Why Computers Still Don't Understand People · · Score: 1

    I first read "Achilles, the tortoise, ..." as meaning "a tortoise called Achilles" and thought of a book called My Family and Other Animals. Then I remembered Zeno. Sill didn't get the Secretariat reference.

  5. Re:This is why encryption isn't popular on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Request Someone To Send Me a Public Key? · · Score: 1

    From the late 90s onwards, webmail *is* email. I hadn't even heard of the term until I college, when I noticed that my institute's webmail site was called webmail. Initially I thought it was a mistake or a lame attempt at branding, but later on I understood the difference.

  6. Re:That will be a lot of spambots on China Has a Massive Windows XP Problem · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What makes you think that isn't happening already?

    Agent Smith said that better.

  8. Re:Speed based on heat is a feature? on AMD Overhauls Open-Source Linux Driver · · Score: 1

    It is a feature. Too hot -> fans running at full tilt -> more power consumption. Mostly for laptops, and you can turn this off in Catalyst. I wonder why you didn't know this. NVidia's GPUs and even most CPUs do this.

  9. Re:Black is white. War is peace. on Supreme Court Decides Your Silence May Be Used Against You · · Score: 1

    What if he had spoke, then chose to exercise silence and continued doing so? It was the resuming of speech that cause the problem, imho.

    The NSA is bigger than we thought!

    That it certainly is.

  11. Re:My solution for fixing Windows 8 on A Serious Proposal To Fix Windows 8 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Does it mean, by induction, that Windows x-2 is better than Windows x?

    FTFY.

  12. Do something for the school: on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Make a Computer Science Club Interesting? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    (Re)Design your website.
    Create a course-management tool.
    Try to use Moodle.

    In general, a year-long project that will have a lasting effect on your high school.

    It is true. But the assumption is that those whom you friend might be sensible people. And sometimes it leads to serendipity.

  16. Re:The obvious solution: on Canadian Official Escorted From House For Others' Facebook Comments · · Score: 1

    Who knows, the group named 'The Vatican' (which one I dunno, since groups can have the same name) might in fact be a hate group named deliberately to confuse?

  17. Re:OpenCL is a heterogeneous processing language on Intel Releases New OpenCL Implementation for GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    If the OpenGL guys released this, and it was adopted by Intel, AMD and nVidia, how is this AMD's answer to anything? Genuinely curious.

  18. Re:"you academic self" on Getting a Literature Ph.D. Will Make You Into a Horrible Person · · Score: 1

    ... For example, it may be a deliberate (if subtle) way of demonstrating that even an accredited professor is not above simple, mundane mistakes. ...

    That's a typo, "professor".

    It's like a scoreline. I'm not sure which sport though (baskeball, maybe?). Proverbs 21:19 Revelations. :P

    Don't confuse GNOME3 with GNOME Shell..

  22. Re:filtering on What Does It Actually Cost To Publish a Scientific Paper? · · Score: 1

    And that's another problem. Define "crappy". Established, "good" and therefore reputable journals are often very closed and pricey. OTOH, open journals are often new and tend to be flooded with crap, so it's difficult for profs to submit quality stuff to said articles.

  23. Re:Wrong on Ask Slashdot: Getting Apps To Use Phones' Full Power? · · Score: 1

    Thanks for not harping on the "N4 has 2GB RAM" thing. Waiting for one app to finish download first is agonizing if the app is huge (> 100 MB). And then this forces other smaller apps to wait for the large humongous app to finish installing. Even if each download proceeds slower, wouldn't the smaller apps be installed quicker?

  24. Re:Summary a bit confusing... on Ask Slashdot: Getting Apps To Use Phones' Full Power? · · Score: 1

    Again, (see my comment above) apps can use both RAM and storage. And there's no reason why they should discard data. When running use as much RAM as you can, when not running, save everything to storage.

  25. Re:That phone has 2GB of RAM on Ask Slashdot: Getting Apps To Use Phones' Full Power? · · Score: 1

    I mentioned the 16GB because apps can use the storage to save data to something like a page file, instead of discarding it. Especially browsers. I'm not a moron.
