  1. Duo son.

  2. To use or not to use? on Creationists Manipulating Search Results · · Score: 1
    "Google has a feedback link waiting for you to use it"

    Which we may or may not use based on whether we do or don't believe that the universe was created, or "just happened".

  3. MPesa on Small Bank In Kansas Creates the Bank Account of the Future · · Score: 1

    We already do this in Kenya with MPesa; the real-time transfer of funds part anyway.

  4. Programmers get better with age on Ask Slashdot: IT Career Path After 35? · · Score: 1

    You feel it, you're a much better coder now than when you were in your 20s, and you see the forest too, not just the trees; the full picture. There is demand for people with matured skills.

  5. Re:how does JavaScript work without computers? on Ask Slashdot: Who's the Doctors Without Borders of Technology? · · Score: 1

    You guys don't know what you're talking about. Actually visit "Africa", then talk.

  6. Just wait and see on The Strangeness of the Mars One Project · · Score: 1

    "... do what thousands of highly qualified people in government agencies have so far not yet been able to do over decades of diligently trying ..." SpaceX have already done this with the Falcon rockets. But the plan here probably is to start the idea and put it out there, then the people who will actualize it (technically and financially) will join it when they see the potential, and when they see they are not alone. They will make sure the hard questions are asked and satisfactorily answered. I'm bullish on the general idea.

  7. We need Linux for Macs on If You're Connected, Apple Collects Your Data · · Score: 1

    There needs to be a Linux distro for Macs; like an Ubuntu remix (Macbuntu maybe?) that works perfectly on any Intel mac.

  8. You can use code to analyse data, help see patterns. The most important aspect though is that we are used to figuring out hard things, and know we must follow rules for something to work, and that giving up only means you don't get the thing done.

  9. Re:Fishy on TrueCrypt Website Says To Switch To BitLocker · · Score: 1

    Yea, bitlocker can't be trusted. I'm gripping on to Linux and Luk's crypt (on phone and computer and server) with a titanium grip.

  10. MongoDB on Ask Slashdot: Which NoSQL Database For New Project? · · Score: 2

    These guys are committed, meaning mongo has a future. 2.6 that came out the other day has some nice new features and many bug fixes.

  11. Re:crime? on How the NSA Plans To Infect 'Millions' of Computers With Malware · · Score: 1

    +1

  12. Work on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 1

    There's no path around hard work to results.

  13. Re:The internet is for porn on CMU AI Learning Common Sense By Watching the Internet · · Score: 1

    oh yea.

  14. NSA can crack SSL on Yahoo Encrypting Data In Wake of NSA Revelations · · Score: 1

    Wasnt there another story here about how the NSA cracks SSL? This story http://slashdot.org/story/13/10/30/1735257/nsa-broke-into-links-between-google-yahoo-datacenters

  15. Seriously? on Microsoft, Apple and Others Launch Huge Patent Strike at Android · · Score: 1

    When will this nonsense stop???

  16. Re:What are they doing there? on Tech's Highest-Paid Engineers Are At Juniper · · Score: 1

    Good work then. 9.2 is great.

  17. MIT Open Courseware on Ask Slashdot: Learning DB the Right Way; Books, Tutorials, or What? · · Score: 1
  18. Hearsay on Kenyans Will Soon Be Able To Send Bitcoin By Phone · · Score: 1

    Dubious. I'll wait for the press release.
