  1. Re:ridiculous on Department of Labor Sues Google Over Compensation Data (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    ...Would I have to be gay, or at least pretend to be? Is there a test?

    Sounds like classic Harold Ramis:

    I'm not homosexual, but I'm willing to learn...

  2. Re:I remember... on John Glenn, First American To Orbit The Earth, Dies At 95 (npr.org) · · Score: 4, Funny

    balls of steel.

    That's a common misconception. His balls were actually made from glass fibers embedded in a custom high-temperature resin.

  3. Re:meh, totally predictable plot lines on 'The Circle' Trailer Looks An Awful Lot Like Google (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow, I must have misunderstood the plot on all those post-1968 movies where I thought the baddies were commies, nazis, drug lords, foreign terrorists, domestic terrorists, anarchists, poor people trying to get rich quick, rich people trying to get richer quick, crazy people trying to do incomprehensible things for incomprehensible reasons, wayward do-gooders, megalomoniacal supercrooks, pirates, pirate hunters, aliens, alien hunters, vampires, vampire hunters, zombies, orcs, dragons, ghosts, etc.

    If you don't like the simulation you're living in, you can always rejoin us here in reality.

    .... and APES!

  4. Re:Only because of limited competition on Netflix Says People Watch Same Amount of Movies Regardless of Perceived Quality or Depth (news.com.au) · · Score: 1

    I suspect most slashdot readers would have no difficulty setting up a (Torrent + VPN + XBMC/Plex) workflow to achieve a system superior to netflix + hulu + HBO ...

    If you wouldn't or don't, why not? Too much effort? Not spouse-friendly? Morals? Fear of nasty letter from ISP?

    I rarely watch movies or TV, so I'm curious.

    Castro is still dead.

  7. More ideal to develop and test locally on the same image if you're using one of these in production, though you can make a centos VM on your own that gets you really close to a standard AMI.

  8. Two at my house: a surface3 and a surface4 pro. Both pretty solid so far. The 3 freezes up on rare occasions -- usually seems to be when chrome has 20 tabs open.

  9. The 600-Series were easy to spot. on US Army 'Will Have More Robot Soldiers Than Humans' By 2025, Says Former British Spy (express.co.uk) · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Why do you speak on behalf of the rest of socie on NSA Worried About Implications of Leaked Toolkits (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Interesting. Though your wiki link states that Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia are proposed members. I don't see that the language has ever actually passed in H.R.5782 - Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014 or other similarly named bills. Do you have a reference?

    It plays right into the narrative. The torrent user is a dangerous criminal.

  22. Re:Yahoo is a big deal in commodities trading on Legacy Yahoo Messenger App Being Retired (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you know why that is the case? (I don't know. Just curious.) Yahoo finance used to have some interesting features and seemed ahead of its time for a free service. Was the messenger adoption in your industry a draft effect from this?

  23. Re:Just horrible! on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best CMS? · · Score: 1

    They are horrible. Most of them would be fine to output a static site that could then be deployed public-facing.
