  1. WIFI != Intnernet on Amazon's IoT Hacking Contest Won By Voice-Controlled Drone (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    So, the voice commands went through the wifi router, over the intertubes and ended up at the drone? Where is the "internet" in this "internet of things" drone?

  2. Re:Why the fuck is this on Slashdot?! on Flat-Earth Argument Results in Rap Battle (npr.org) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Holy shit. I think that Anonymous Coward may have hit a new all-time low with this comment. Everything about this comment is dumb and irrelevant.

    Come on! Can't we get some relevant comments, rather than total shit like this comment? It's not like they don't exist. They're sitting there in the goddamn comments section, while donkey shit like this comment ends up being upvoted.

    Seriously, why the fuck is Slashdot allowing asinine comments like this of all things? The commenters involved aren't even remotely important in any way.

    What a fucking stupid comment! It's utterly stupid in every single way!

  3. The Internet of Things breaking.

  4. Re:3,600 cubic miles of ash and rock! on 'Geospeedometer' Confirms Super-eruptions Have Surprisingly Short Fuses (vanderbilt.edu) · · Score: 1

    15000 cubic kilometers for everyone else in the world.

  5. What are the highest waves it can produce on This Machine Produces the Largest Humanmade Waves In the World · · Score: 1

    The article said a lot of things but didn't say how high the waves get. There is no easy way for me to discern scale in that video either.

  6. No problem on OPM Says 5.6 million Fingerprints Stolen In Cyberattack · · Score: 2

    Just reset your fingerprint, this time please use numbers, letters and other symbols.

  7. Re:Kalmbach on Ask Slashdot: Tips For Getting Into Model Railroading? · · Score: 1

    You get all my mod points for the next 3 months. I have been a Model Railroader fan since the 70's. Also, n-scale rocks.

  8. Toronto "drivers" on Study Suggests That HUD Tech May Actually Reduce Driving Safety · · Score: 0

    Studies done at the University of Toronto

    Ya, but drivers in Toronto are horrible... well not as bas as Quebec I suppose.

  9. Re:I know a lot of this is cutting edge... on Parachute Problems Plague NASA's Flying Saucer · · Score: 1

    It's not a parachute in the classic sense - it's more like an enormous airbag around the perimeter of the craft designed to help high-altitude aerobraking. Lots of problems to solve.

    The SIAD or "airbag" has worked flawlessly the last two tests. The parachutes are the systems that have been failing... 0 for 2. If the 3rd test produces the same result with the chute then maybe the team should switch focus and bump up the specs on the SIAD and concentrate on retro rocket landings.

  10. Cha cha on A Visual Walk Through Amazon's Impact On One Seattle Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain) Ch-ch-Changes

  11. Oceans on Earth on Doomed Russian Spacecraft Re-Enters Atmosphere Over Pacific Ocean · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Are really, really big. Though the odds were in their favor Roscosmos dodged a bullet here.

  12. leave open a Skype channel on IBM CIO Thinks Agile Development Might Save Company · · Score: 1

    Slack ftw

  13. Progress 59 Reentry Bingo on Russian Cargo Mission To ISS Spinning Out of Control · · Score: 1
  14. Calm down with the "threats" on Russian Cargo Mission To ISS Spinning Out of Control · · Score: 3, Informative

    The ship does not seem to pose a threat to the ISS at the moment.

    The resupply ship is not even remotely in the same orbit as the ISS. Progress 59 will never pose a threat to the ISS unless they regain control, adjust the orbit 200km higher, rendezvous with the ISS and attempt a docking.

  15. This happens about... on How Mission Creep Killed a Gaming Studio · · Score: 2

    a thousand times a day across all industries.

  16. Re:Tax Bullshit on Quebec Plans To Require Website Blocking, Studies New Internet Access Tax · · Score: 1

    ^^^^ This - If I had mod points you would get em.

  17. Websites on $7.4 Million Blurred Lines Verdict Likely To Alter Music Business · · Score: 0

    I built a website and then someone "mimicked" portions of "MY" HTML code! Guess I better sue and make sure NO ONE else can "copy" my HTML creations. The music industry is a joke when it comes to litigation.

  18. Re:Better get the service manual, then on Mars Curiosity Rover Experiences Short Circuit, Will Be Stationary For Days · · Score: 2

    Actually they were the lowest bidder.

  19. The Sky is Falling... on The Sony Pictures Hack Was Even Worse Than Everyone Thought · · Score: 0

    The sky is falling... everyone freakout!

  20. O ya sure... 1/3 the speed of light is close to the speed of light.

    That's like saying the 33% I got on my math exam was actually very close to 100%.

    If by very close you mean not close at all, then yes, you are right, 33% is very close to 100%.

  21. Re:Phased rollouts and rollback? on Microsoft Azure Outage Across the Globe · · Score: 1

    You'd think something as big as Microsoft would roll out stuff in phases

    You would think Microsoft would do a lot of things the way it "should" be done... but they don't.

  22. Re:So azure... on Microsoft Azure Outage Across the Globe · · Score: 1
  23. 2 Comments on The New-ish Technologies That Will Alter Your Career · · Score: 3, Informative

    Over at Dice, there's a discussion

    No, there is a cheesy article with 2 comments. 2 comments does not a "discussion" make.

  24. No on Facebook Planning Office Version To Rival LinkedIn, Google · · Score: 1

    Thanks.

  25. Re:uh, no? on Alleged Satellite Photo Says Ukraine Shootdown of MH17 · · Score: 1
