    Where's the download link?

    Where's the network?

    I don't see a website for Riffle, only a .pdf.

    There are even other projects at MIT with the same name. (Riffle water monitoring system)
    https://civic.mit.edu/blog/hhcraig/open-water-project-exploring-open-source-water-quality-monitoring

    This 'Riffle' is just a paper not an actual network, afaict.

  10. It does its job on Father of SSL Talks Serious Security Turkey · · Score: 2

    I am more worried about my ISP packet sniffing my traffic than a black hat.
    As long as the SSL is good enough to keep my ISP ignorant, it's good enough for me.

  12. You failed your interview. on Ask Slashdot: Standard Software Development Environments? · · Score: 1

    Dude... How did you *not* know this before taking the job???

    "What is your technology stack?" "What bug tracking?" "What build tools?" "What development environment?"

    You need to interview them, just as much as they are interviewing you.

    You have crafted your own hell. Either fix it, or leave while you can.

    If you like it vote it up! :-)

  17. Email them on Blizzard Confirms No LAN Support For Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    pr@blizzard.com
    billing@blizzard.com

    Dear Blizzard,

    You are dropping support for LAN play with Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3, so high speed internet is required for multiplayer, and if your Battle.Net servers are down for any reason then I can't play multiplayer.

    I have been waiting breathlessly for these games, so that I can have LAN parties again, now all that was for nothing. You have destroyed my hopes.

    Because of your decision, I am canceling my World of Warcraft, and my wife's. And I will never purchase another Blizzard game as long as I live.

    Sincerely,

  22. Boeing on After College, What Type of Jobs Should One Seek? · · Score: 1

    If you know C++, willing to code military embedded software, and are a U.S. Citizen with ability to get secret clearance, apply at Boeing for Embedded Software Engineer II, both the "College" and "Experienced" levels. I got a job there while I was in the middle of my MS, and my friends all got jobs there too. An advantage of Boeing is they pay overtime (Thanks to SPEEA) - which means add about $20k to your base salary and that's your real salary. Good luck.

  23. Re:subscription on Makers of MAKE · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not "the law" that magazine subscriptions are subject to the recipient's local sales tax. Mail order companies only have to charge sales tax if they have a physical presence in the recipient's state. Apparently O'Reilly has a physical presence in Washington, which sucks for me.

  24. subscription on Makers of MAKE · · Score: 2, Interesting

    LAME!! As soon as I read this article, I tried to subscribe to Make Magazine, but they're charging SALES TAX!! I have never and will never pay sales tax on a magazine subscription!

    Bad move!
