  1. Re:Pixels density on Canon Unveils EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR (canonrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    And 8 bit, 8khz audio sounds just fine.

  2. Well, if you open one store and foot traffic is lower than expected, you really shouldn't open up more stores. You figure out why people aren't shopping with you.

  3. Re:Laissez Faire Capitalist Here... on Google Fiber To Cut Staff In Half After User Totals Disappoint, Says Report (dslreports.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If done right, your data would be invisible to the government. Just an encrypted stream between you and your ISP.

  4. Re:Long-Time Linux Household on Linux Turns 25, Is Bigger and More Professional Than Ever (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That's a huge caveat though, isn't it? It's like needing a mechanic to fill up your gas tank.

  5. Re:They made it intentionally that way on BHU's 'Tiger Will Power' Wi-Fi Router May Be The Most Insecure Router Ever Made (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I have to wonder if the manufacturer is to blame, or if someone hacked them.

  6. Re:It's not really dead on Ask Slashdot: Is KDE Dying? · · Score: 1

    It was a hell of a thing when Spock died.

  7. Strength can only be judged based on the attacker. What is strong in one case isn't in another. So we have to first decide what we are trying to prevent.

  8. Re:What happens at crunch time? on Amazon To Experiment With Part-Time Tech Teams (usatoday.com) · · Score: 4

    Properly managed companies don't have crunch times. Good employees get their shit done on time.

  9. Re:"allows you to download a 5GB HD movie in 40 se on Comcast Rolls Out $70-Per-Month Gigabit Internet Service In Chicago (pcmag.com) · · Score: 0

    You aren't paying for a wide open faucet. In the first place, it would cost way more than that, and secondly, it would be pretty much impossible without some serious advances in backbone technology.

  10. Re:What you overlooked on Gawker.com To End Operations Next Week (gawker.com) · · Score: 2

    The rules are pretty clear: don't break the law, don't slander, don't violate privacy.

  11. Re: As a former journalist, this isn't a big deal on Gawker.com To End Operations Next Week (gawker.com) · · Score: 0

    You mean having sex with someone else's wife, in their house, which was filled with cameras? Gawker fucked up, but I don't feel like it was all THAT bad.

  12. Re:As a former journalist, this isn't a big deal on Gawker.com To End Operations Next Week (gawker.com) · · Score: 1

    The new government of Iraq asked us to leave. GWB started that process, and Obama stalled it as long as he could.

  13. Re:Access charges are data rape on AT&T Is Boosting Data Plans, Dropping Overage Fees (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The access charge is more of a per-line charge. Shouldn't it cost more to have 50 phones on one account than just one?

  14. Re:Cool... I guess?? on Mozilla To Add Screenshot Sharing Feature To Firefox Test Pilot Program (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    How is this better than the prtscn button?

  15. Re:Good news for their stock on Cisco Systems To Lay Off About 14,000 Employees, Representing 20% of Global Workforce (crn.com) · · Score: 1

    The restructuring charges are probably tax advantaged as opposed to retraining.

  16. Re:Good news for their stock on Cisco Systems To Lay Off About 14,000 Employees, Representing 20% of Global Workforce (crn.com) · · Score: 1

    It's just incompetence on a longer time scale. Sure, you are going to have to eliminate positions. And you can see that coming for a long time. Do you encourage employees to train in the new direction that is coming? Or do you just keep saying "keep up the good work" until your boss tells you to pack up your desk?

  17. Re:Nothing but hyperbole on Australian Authorities Hacked Computers in the US (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I think it was something like "I shrimp my barby on the corner of Koala and Rabbitfence!"

  18. Re:No Problem Here on Australian Authorities Hacked Computers in the US (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Law enforcement: two wrongs DO make a right.

  19. Re:No Problem Here on Australian Authorities Hacked Computers in the US (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that happens all day, every day.

  20. Digital watermarking. "Problem" solved. Legit sharing and fair use has no problem, and actual abusers get caught.

  21. Why let reality get in the way of a good story?

  22. You obviously know nothing about the united states.

  23. Who cares? The other parties can do that too.

  24. Re:What's the big problem? on The Chip Card Transition In the US Has Been a Disaster (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Tell me you didn't think the machine was actually checking your signature.

  25. Yours is an unfortunate edge case. I would think someone at one of the WISP or cell companies would be able to come up with a workaround for you. Rather than force you to use their service for something it wasn't really intended.
