  1. Have yet to see any reason for someone to compromise my lowest level logins, including /. Wanna steal it? Have at it, I don't give a shit. Don't see any reason to give a shit, except for having a low member number.

    Want more snotnose accounts? Ultimate guitar, yahoo news, reddit

    Keep in mind there are at least 6 snotnoses out there, some are skateboarders, one is a priest, one an amatuer guitar player. Been 2-3 years since I've googled snotnose, less than half the hits are me.

  2. In www I have classes of websites. Each class has it's own login and it's own password. Things like /., Soylent News and Fark? Same login, same password. Things like my bank or investment companies? All have different logins and different passwords. Things in between are in between.

    If you think I'm going to use my phone number for everything you've got to rethink you're strategy. At least concerning me. My worry is, 90% of your customers will jump the the "oh hell yeah" phase, completely skipping the "um, but...." phase.

  3. Qualcomm doesn't make chips on Qualcomm Debuts 10nm Server Chip To Attack Intel Server Stronghold (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Qualcomm designs chips, from my experience based on ARM not x86, and outsources the actual making of chips to other companies (TSMC, Samsung, whomever).

    Not really seeing how this threatens Intel outside of the whole ARM vs x86 thing. My understanding is most server farms are connected to dedicated nuclear power plants anyway, so power consumption isn't an issue. Heat dissipation? Yeah, that might be an issue.

  4. Prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. Asshole's an idiot, I'd rather he be in prison than in the general population.

  5. So far HTML 5 sucks ass on Chrome 55 Now Blocks Flash, Uses HTML5 By Default (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    It's unreliable. With a lot of vids if you try to skip past the HEEEY KIDS, IT'S ME STEEVEEEOO AND IN THIS VIDEO IM GONNA SHOW YOU THE ABSULUTE BESTEST WAY TO DO THAT THING YOU WANT TO DO THAT I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TO DO SOON AS I CONVINCE YOU HOW KEWL I AM. I mean, most vids have 1-2 minutes you can fast forward past before they finally get to it. With HTML 5 it often goes into an infinite loading screen until you restart the vid.

    I also have trouble with pausing a vid, doing something, then restarting it. Maybe 1/4 of the time it goes into the infinite loading bug.

    Finally, don't even think of closing your laptop halfway through a vid. You'll have to restart the vid to continue watching after opening the laptop.

  7. I peruse iffy websites all the time on French Man Sentenced To Two Years In Prison For Visiting Pro-ISIS Websites (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Sometimes it take a day or three. It doesn't mean I agree with the website, it means I'm intrigued by something, or "aw hell no" by something.

    So now curiosity can put me in jail? Really?

  8. Never heard of it until last night. Had insomnia, it's on at 2 AM. Something about a chicken egg and tricking people into thinking it was a real egg. Funny as hell.

    Aired in 1954, 4 years before I was born.

  9. Forced to go to church as a kid on Religious Experiences Have Similar Effect On Brain As Taking Drugs, Study Finds (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Think 60s/70s. Went twice on Sunday, then Wed night. I was 10 or 11 when I started asking questions that got answered by "ya gotta have faith". Um, if I had faith I wouldn't be asking these questions.

    Older I got the more I hated church. Not gonna lie, there were a lot of days when I thought about opening the car door and jumping out of the car. On the freeway. To this day I don't dress up, nor do I sing in public.

    Then Wizard of Oz was shown on Wednesdays for a few years in a row. I'd heard a lot about it, never seen it, wanted to see it. But no, I had to go to church Wednesday nights, cuz reasons.

    Moved out when I was 18. Only time I've been in a church since was when mom died 4 years ago. Dad keeps asking me to go to church with him, I demurr, he doesn't understand why I won't go.

    During my 20's and half my 30's, whenever I found someone was religious I'd goad them. Actively tried to piss them off. I grew out of that.

    I think if you have a rational, questioning mind, church is either a social thing or pure BS.

  10. How about offering a choice? on EPA Increases Amount of Renewable Fuel To Be Blended Into Gasoline (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Let us buy blended fuel, or pure fuel for more $$$. I'm gonna guess 90% of the consumers will go with the unblended fuel because it doesn't harm their engines (gearheads), gets better gas mileage (coupon clippers), and realize that ethanol is a major waste of money (anyone with half a brain).

    The only reason burning food for fuel is a thing is because Iowa and other farm states ensure they vote early and often in primaries, so those for sale pander as hard as their pandering asses can pander to these 2-3 states. The rest of the country gets the shaft.

    Hopefully Trump will break this. I'm hoping the bull in the china shop will break more bad stuff than good stuff.

  11. Re:Andrew Jackson is Instructive on Lawrence Lessig Calls For The Electoral College to Choose Clinton Over Trump (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pure weapons grade bullshit here. A lot of people voted for Trump because they couldn't stand the thought of HRC being prez. Had the DNC/DWS run anyone else, that other person would have won.

    This election was not won by Trump, it was lost by HRC.

  12. So my rural state will get basically no political say in picking a President?

    I live in California. I've never had a say in my parties nominee. We vote in June, when all is said and done. Deal. Get over it.

  13. I like LL, I get most of what he says. He's wrong here

    Both candidates knew about the electoral college, both created their strategies knowing about it. Whoopdedo, HRC got 2 million more votes than Trump.

    Trump got more votes that counted.

    Had the electoral college not existed both candidates would have run different campaigns, and who knows who would have won.

  21. Fucking this. I live close to a stop sign, currently maybe once an hour I hear some asshole on his Harley. Last thing I want is to hear a bunch of assholes in naturally quiet cars blasting the Star Wars theme, or Banana Phone, or some fart they think is funny.

    Surely you can come up with a way to accommodate the blind without annoying the hell out of the 99% of us that aren't blind.

  22. I was the Sun sysadmin for maybe 17 workstations in a Windows shop. Sun came out with workstations that had a mic. I told my boss I needed to open every box up and cut a wire. He didn't believe me. Told him to call his secretary and talk to her for a minute or two. When he hung up I went into his office and replayed the audio I'd recorded off his workstation.

    Spent maybe an hour cutting a wire in every workstation we'd bought. Ahhh, the days of usenet, otherwise I'd have never thought of it.

  24. It's called isochronous on Ethernet Consortia Wants To Unlock a More Time-Sensitive Network (networkworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Essentially it means your socket is guaranteed at least 1 packet every n time units. Back in '01 I worked for a startup that had a wireless chip with isochronous features. I wrote the device driver and trust me, when you have more than 1 isochronous stream it can get pretty hairy to ensure both stream's needs are met.

    The hardware worked, but pulled too much power. They ran out of money before they could so another chip spin. Kinda sad, it was pretty impressive for the time.

    Back in the 70s a friend had a couple pot plants growing in his closet. He had a grow light and everything. About once a week we'd walk to the local Baskins Robbins, where they would give us a 1-2 lb chunk of dry ice. Mike would suspend this chunk some 3 feet over his plants, his plants seemed to love the hell out of it (hard to tell, they don't purr, or roll over for a belly rub, or anything, they just grow faster).
