  1. Re:I only drink coffee on Oracle Fixes 42 Security Vulnerabilities In Java · · Score: 2

    Write once, debug everywhere.

  2. Business-grade direct-attached storage? on New Thunderbolt Revision Features 20 Gbps Throughput, 4K Video Support · · Score: 1

    I sure wouldn't mind seeing this compete with stuff like eSATA and SAS in the DAS market. I know that there is the Promise Pegasus and such - I'm thinking more along the lines of, "shared storage for VMware" than, "fast scratch space for video editing."

  3. Hybrid online-only here, leaning toward streaming on Young Listeners Opt For Streaming Over Owning · · Score: 1

    I use an Rdio subscription for most of my listening. When I really love something (or like something insanely cheap), I'll pick up the MP3s from Amazon.

  4. Re:Obligatory on FunnyJunk Sues the Oatmeal Over TM and "Incitement To Cyber-Vandalism" · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yep. That is why we need an equal pay system. Each side pays the other side's lawyer an equal amount to what they pay their own. That way if Super-Mega-Corp want's to bring in $500/hour lawyers to crush Working-Two-Jobs-To-Make-Ends-Meet-Joe, Joe will have just as good of representation as Super-Mega-Corp.

    Actual outcome: $500/hour lawyers get "paid layman rates," while their uncles/children/foreign bank accounts collect the remainder. See college athletes.

  5. Alternative: donate it on Ask Slashdot: Store Umbilical Cord Blood — and If So, Where? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's what we did with our first child, and will do with our second. In addition to the costs associated, banking it is a what-if scenario, and adult stem cells are already starting to show promise. We expect no problems justifying it to ourselves or our kids IF they develop some sort of problem AND first-party cord-blood treatment is the best or only solution for it: we're choosing to help people now, as opposed to potentially helping person later. If the efficacy situation were more apparent to us now, it would be a closer decision.

  6. Re:A lack of diversity... on Adobe Warns of Critical Zero Day Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Although there are alternatives to Adobe Reader, none of them is good enough to gain significant market share.

    I think Apple's Preview app is doing pretty well. Who installs Adobe Reader on a Mac?
