  2. Re:Could Tor Be Of Use Here? on Samsung Smart TVs Don't Encrypt the Voice Data They Collect · · Score: 1

    What?!? why would that be helpful? The message still would go unencrypted from the TOR exit node to Samsung (or it's partners). Way too many people think that TOR = Secure.

    Disregard speoling and grammar errors. Mobile version doesn't have an edit button and I see auto complete fucked me up

  4. Roll your own? on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Web Development Linux Distro? · · Score: 2

    Roll your own?

    Seriously. You don't sound like you want a cents with the web server packages (very good option in my opinion). You sound like you want your setup to be concrete and to meet your own specifications.

    The only way to get a distribution with your own specifications is to commission or roll your own.

    Another good option (what I do for my glassfish domain) is to setup cantos on a virtual machine with the generic install and then export the VM so I can create arbitrary copies of my perfect centos distribution.

  5. Re:Does It Matter? on VirtualBox Development At a Standstill · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have vbox running a few hobby servers using its headless mode. But I do this from familiarity and a need for a user friendly cross platform service.

    That said it's not a business worthy endeavor as its headless functionality is solid but there are 0 management tools that work WELL with it (phpvirualbox is fine but there are few bugs that cause major issues).

    Oracle does have some of its own tools but if you're willing to pay oracle costs you are willing to pay VMWare costs too.

  6. Re:You don't have a three year old on Microsoft Researchers Use Light Beams To Charge Smartphones · · Score: 1

    The Qi chargers look great on TV except that they can't charge through the protective cases.

    Shouldn't. They can and my girl friend frequently does with hers but you shouldn't as it reduces efficiency and causes the case to become "warm".

    Really though I don't notice any difference between her charge and mine (I don't have case)

  8. Re:Land of the free on Reaction To the Sony Hack Is 'Beyond the Realm of Stupid' · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Or when I pull up in my driveway and see that someone is already inside my home or garage, I should just let them finish stealing whatever they'd like and file a report. That's what insurance is for, right? Just let the thieves, crooks, and dopeheads have free reign because people like you want to call me a "wussy". Got news for ya, boss. Real life exists outside of your gated community and sleepy suburban burgs. Lots of us live in the real world, and real shit happens all day, every day.

    Yep pretty much. Just because someone is robbing you doesn't mean there is a need to kill them. You just said you have insurance so you don't have any liability until you pull out that gun.

  9. Re:Sony needs to invest in their IT on Sony Hacks Continue: PlayStation Hit By Lizard Squad Attack · · Score: 2

    Sony doesn't care about their security. Their "Action Cam" comes with a disclaimer saying that the device isn't secure and if you connect it to a wireless network anyone has access to all of its functionality.

  10. Re: Anti-worker would mean against, not for... on DOOM 3DO Source Released On Github · · Score: 1

    My mom is the head of her local employee union. I assure you the only ones getting paid enough to live in mansions are the lawyers and central committee members.

    Eh, people tracking isn't "evil" but as far as I know the iPhone 6 sends out fake MAC addresses anyway so it'll fail unless you're connected.

  14. Re:Compared to Azure on Amazon Forced To Reboot EC2 To Patch Bug In Xen · · Score: 1

    I mean I'm an Oracle FMW developer working with several Oracle servers having serious uptime and SLAs but even then, hiccups happen. A good developer programs with the expectation that not everything will work smoothly and so long as not everything breaks at once I could have a DB fall off the face of the earth or a server get shot and we'd still chug along with minimal perceived downtime.

  15. Re:migratable vms? on Amazon Forced To Reboot EC2 To Patch Bug In Xen · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying migrate to another facility but to another machine. If that's what you also meant would you be able to provide a source? That seems like a very very big oversite.

  16. Re:Compared to Azure on Amazon Forced To Reboot EC2 To Patch Bug In Xen · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You are actually required to program your application to expect failed database calls.

    Yes, of course you are. Only an idiot would expect 100% of db calls to be successful.

    I do believe there is an SLA however they only give 2 months for API changes, kinda shit.

  18. Bah, it's @notch on Minecraft Creator Halts Plans For Oculus Version Following Facebook Acquisition · · Score: 1

    @notch fails at life and would have halted development due to being slightly cumbersome in the near future anyway, just like he did with all the other promised features.

    -RIP minecraft alpha.

  19. Re:So ... they re-invented Asp.Net? on Facebook Introduces Hack: Statically Typed PHP · · Score: 1

    ASP.NET requires a heavy application server.

    As a Java EE developer I'd advocate the benefits of proper application servers/infrastructure but ASP/Java are slow to release languages. You need infrastructure and planning while PHP is a great language for systems that don't have huge reliance requirements and need the project done yesterday. (and even then obviously Facebook has managed to make it very reliable).

    Additionally ASP.NET (with C# as you didn't specify) is statically typed. Even the "var" type is resolved at compile time to the base class of whatever it's first instantiation returns.

  20. Re:What about recieve? on New 'pCell' Technology Could Bring Next Generation Speeds To 4G Networks · · Score: 1

    I doubt it, they'd calculate latency from tower to tower and analyze the data on the fly to pull out more accurate results. (that's how I read it anyway)
