  1. CompuLab's Fitlet does that to the NUC.

  2. Oh Goody! on US Air Traffic Control System Is Riddled With Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    I like riddles.

    I don't know...it made me chuckle at your response.

  4. Is Badanalogyguy helping Bennett? on Gritty 'Power Rangers' Short Is Not Fair Use · · Score: 1

    There is no comparison to someone creating an original work that contains characters from someone else's work and taking someone else's work and posting it up on your site.

  5. Re:Not satire without Power Rangers mark on Gritty 'Power Rangers' Short Is Not Fair Use · · Score: 1

    If you didn't watch the entire thing you missed the best parts. The "end" is really trippy. I also forced myself to watch Adi's Why Bootleg The Power Rangers? where he compares the rangers to children recruited in S. Africa.

  6. Re: Easy life on Research Suggests That Saunas Help You Live Longer · · Score: 1

    There's a new running craze for women but current trends in research point to running actually shortening lifespan if it is overdone.

    They could borrow my MFM controller card. Of course you'd need a USB to ISA adapter.

    I hope you have your coffee machine ready.

    I see what you did there!

    If a vampire tries to enter your home he will not succeed...unless he can get you to invite him in. Once you have invited a vampire in you are screwed!

  12. Re:Highest bidder on Online UK Courts Modelled On EBay To Settle Legal Disputes · · Score: 2

    Whoever brings the most money wins.

    There will be in-court purchases to give you a leg up on the competition and a ladder board to rank your skill against other plaintiffs. There will also be badges for different case types to encourage you to file as many different types as you can.

  13. Re:A smart phone is rarely convenient on Smart Homes Often Dumb, Never Simple · · Score: 1

    I agree with you and have partially solved it by solving another first world problem. What do I do with my old smartphone since I just got this HOT new one? Why take the SIM card out and make it the remote control of course! I have B&N Nook Color running KitKat in the living room and a Galaxy S with KitKat running in the bedroom. Hell some of the cheap Chinese knockoffs are cheaper than some of the smart switches I have seen. You could replace the wall switch with a bunch of them and wire the charger for the device into the wall.

  14. Re:It's a vast field.... on Ask Slashdot: What Portion of Developers Are Bad At What They Do? · · Score: 1

    Not true! If you forget the supervisor password to your Ricoh MFP they will charge you $300 to replace the NVRAM on the BICU-Board because you can't master reset the password. Now THAT is some major security! ;)

    You could have at least provided a link!

  16. Re:I love you man on Alcohol's Evaporating Health Benefits · · Score: 1

    For many drinking MODERATE amounts of alcohol can ease tension and increase confidence (or conversely make you less self-conscience) which usually leads you to do things you wouldn't normally do. Whether this behavior is a blessing or a curse is dependent on the behavior and the circumstance but it will most likely lead to a different outcome than had you not been drinking. So your experiment would be more accurate if you clone yourself and have one of yourselves drinking and the other sober in the same situation.

  17. I feel embarrassed. The only acronym I didn't know was TLA.

  18. Re:Regulation Strikes again on Farmers Struggling With High-Tech Farm Equipment · · Score: 1

    One of my first tech gigs was remanufacturing ECL's for AC/Delco. Our test console was a big box with nearly one hundred blinky lights! At least they were labeled so we knew what the blinky light was for. This was around 1989 and GM had transitioned a lot of their ECM's to SMT parts. So the ECM was a semi-flexible PCB with SMT IC's riding in a tin can (literally) coated in rubber cement. Vibrations from road conditions caused intermittent failures on a grand scale. By the time I left I was "diagnosing" over a thousand units a week. And by diagnosing I mean beating the ECM with the handle end of a screwdriver to make the blinky lights go off and spraying individual IC's with freeze spray to figure out which one had the cold solder joint.

  19. That's unpossible on Facebook Brings React Native To Native Mobile Development · · Score: 0

    This story has been up for an hour and and there hasn't been one reference to the obligatory.

  20. Re:On the other hand ... on Google Brain's Co-inventor Tells Why He's Building Chinese Neural Networks · · Score: 2

    Why were the first cars called horseless carriages? Because the carriage pulled by a horse was something that was familiar. and automobile sounded funny. We ended up dropping the horseless part and shortening carriage to car eventually though.

  21. Re: This thread will be a sewer of misogyny on WA Bill Takes Aim at Boys' Dominance In Computer Classes · · Score: 2

    But addressing the reasons that cause such self-segregation and the effects of it isn't easy.

    It isn't easy because society doesn't actually want to know the truth.Whenever we as a society want something to be true that isn't we ignore the truth and spend inordinate resources trying to prove what we want the truth to be.

    The truth is there is indeed a biological component that drives humans that can be repressed but not eliminated. And there are dire consequences for repressing them as well. Scientific studies have proven this repeatedly but even many scientists ignore the facts because they are so unpopular. The reason so few girls pursue tech is they genuinely aren't interested. Intellect has very little to do with it. I've seen more women in tech that hated it but were pressured into it than women who actually chose tech and loved it. Anecdotal to be sure but that has been my experience.

  22. Re:Well, I guess that's a new question to ask on Tech Companies Worried Over China's New Rules For Selling To Banks · · Score: 1

    Hands up, everyone who thinks the software developers are going to go through the trouble of developing two separate applications.

    I think they aren't even going to develop one. Many banks are still running Cobol applications written in the 60's and 70's.

  23. Re:But, But on Security-Focused BlackPhone Was Vulnerable To Simple Text Message Bug · · Score: 3, Informative

    You meant that as a joke but when Microsoft first attained government security (C2 IIRC) certification for Windows NT there was a little asterisk by the cert. For the OS to be considered C2 compliant it must not be connected to a network in any way.

  24. It's a new part of the industry on Fake Engine Noise Is the Auto Industry's Dirty Little Secret · · Score: 2

    If you look at this demo of the QNX Kia Soul at CES 2014 starting at about 1:20 they demonstrate the acoustic shaping properties of QNX Car 2.0. From dampening exterior noise to engine sound "enhancement". They demo the Soul revving but sounding like a Dodge Challenger.

    That's good to hear. Perhaps they are improving. I'll admit I haven't even tried in over a year it had been so bad.
