  1. Homeopathy on Gut Bacteria Can Control Diabetes · · Score: 0

    And the homeopathic crowd goes wild!

  2. Hire a consultant on Ask Slashdot: Documenting Scattered Sites and Systems? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Youre in over your head, a one man army dealing with all the technology you listed is going to result in a mess for you and your employer. Get someone in there to sort it out and document it, then you should be able to manage it on a daily basis.

  3. Call Kevin Mandia for your security needs on Cleaning Up the Mess After a Major Hack Attack · · Score: 2

    In all seriousness, there really needs to be a court recognized standard for IT security due diligence. There are too many organizations doing their own thing or using "compensating controls" that only work in some auditors dream world.

  4. The Market Has Spoken on Prospects Darken For Solar Energy Companies · · Score: 0

    These guys need to make something people want.

  5. And you thought Y2K bug was bad on Christmas Always On Sunday? Researchers Propose New Calendar · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Have fun reprogramming everything, developers!

  6. Sorry Ron Paul on Will Hackers Try To Disrupt the Iowa Caucuses? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The Republican party will make sure you don't receive the nomination.

  7. Why Doesn't the DoD Roll their Own? on Android Approved By Pentagon · · Score: 0

    It sounds like from the article they're going to fork Android. Talk about fragmentation. They need to build a solution from the ground up, otherwise it's going to be a mess to maintain or support.

  8. It IS a bubble on Why the Occupy Movement Skipped Silicon Valley · · Score: 5, Insightful

    These people don't understand that their cushy lives and jobs depend on a strong US economy. Even if you aren't seeing the effects of it yet, it will still impact you eventually through soaring costs. We're all in it together.

  9. CNG is the Future on Tesla Motors Announces Prices For Their Upcoming Models · · Score: 0

    Until they figure out solar, natural gas is the next big thing. Easy to retrofit, no batteries. Cheap (at least in the US).

  10. Re:New life to be found on The Fjord-Cooled Data Center · · Score: 5, Funny

    We call those Interns around here

  11. So Use Gnome 2.0 on Linux Mint Developer Forks Gnome 3 · · Score: 1

    Why fork it?

  12. Change Management on How Does the CIA Keep Its IT Staff Honest? · · Score: 1

    And I thought my companies change management process sucked.

  13. Cop Out on Is the Earth Special? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is the same thing religious leaders expouse, "what we can't explain must be special and unique". In a universe, nothing is unique. Except for snowflakes.

  14. Not a big incentive on Amazon Is Recruiting Authors For Its eBook Library · · Score: 2

    Good authors would incredibly stupid to do this. All this will do is draw unknowns/not established authors.

  15. Not in 2012 for me on Will Windows 8 Be Ready For Release In 2012? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ill be waiting for SP1. Server 2008 R2 has shown (at least to me) that Microsoft is trying to make server tasks more accessible at the cost of options and tweaking. Instead of having a nice GUI with lots of options, it's a purdy GUI with few options and the rest buried in some power shell syntax. Server 8 doesn't look like its helping their case.

  16. National Wireless? on Senator Uses FCC Nomination Process To Question National Wireless Network · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sounds like commie trickery to me too, senator.

  17. Like the internet on US Gov't Seizes 130+ More Domains In Crackdown · · Score: 2

    Piracy routes around it. I'm guessing ICE are the guys who accidentally deleted a bunch of SRV records at work and were promptly fired. Who knew they could find a job with those skills.

  18. Haha, "Locked In" customers on Is HP Paying Intel To Keep Itanium Alive? · · Score: 2

    What do you call customers on an Oracle system? Locked out? :)

  19. Metrics suck in any job on The Futility of Developer Productivity Metrics · · Score: 2

    Unless it's your job to make up the metrics.

  20. Doesn't it use Ubuntus repos? on Linux Mint: the New Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    It's hard to call it replacing Ubuntu when it wouldn't exist without them.

  21. Put on a good show guys! on Senate Set To Vote On the Repeal of Net Neutrality · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Obama really needs to look like the good guy when he vetoes the bill!

  22. ACTA will pass, so who cares? on Obama To Veto Anti-Net-Neutrality Legislation · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ACTA is a Trojan horse for anti net neutrality.

  23. This is just a test on FEMA, FCC Hope To Forestall Panic Over National Emergency Alert · · Score: 1

    Not FEMA exercising its legal right to form a shadow government and take over all government functions. It's not 2012 yet!

  24. Bad Idea on Fedora Aims To Simplify Linux Filesystem · · Score: 1

    Fedora team needs a history lesson as to why there's 4 different bin file locations. They actually make quite a bit of sense, throwing them all into one is stupid.

  25. Rsync + VPN on Which OSS Clustered Filesystem Should I Use? · · Score: 1

    Setup a mirrored server at a parents/relatives house that's preseeded and run rsync jobs to it. Add more storage and you can do generations too.
