  3. Why? on Inside the Mission To Europa (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Why are we shooting for the moon instead of NEO?

    We can't even get a man into space without Russia. Did we silently just lose the Cold War's Space Race?

    My OnePlusOne loads within 15 seconds. I think that's more than reasonable for all that it is loading/doing.

  6. More consolidation... on Western Digital To Buy SanDisk (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't like the recent tread of consolidation in the IT market... This needs to stop.

  7. Right? Oh you're prodding my servers? What was that phrase again...

    "Treat others the way they treat you"... Was that it?

    Sounds good to me!

  9. This sounds like a marketing scheme to get people to think:

    "Oh nos! DOJ can break into my 'older phones' running 'iOS [7 or lower]'! Better buy the newest one!"

  10. stop changing dev tools EVERY DAMN RELEASE!

    you just killed 30 minutes of my time trying to find the damn hide console button

  11. Re:Mod parent up! on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    "Exactly right."

    Who's to say we would even be _able_ to see them? If you have all the power in the galaxy and you start noticing some pesky, lower beings starting to make camp on your door step. Either you're going to ignore them and make sure they can't bother you, or wipe them out.

    As the latter hasn't happened (yet), who's to say the former isn't true?

  12. Re:Node exists on /. ? on Node.js v4.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    The reason for the jump to version 4, semver policy aside, is because iojs consumed 1, 2, and 3 already.

    That matters because nodejs and iojs share the same userland/space/whatever, NPM, where modules can restrict themselves to certain engine versions for compatibility reasons.

    So if I wrote a module that was intended to work in iojs (before the merge) and had an engine property of >=3.0 and the merge of io/node went down to v1.0.0 or v0.13.0, my module is now broken.

    The merge is a bit misleading, Nodejs has the name recognition that iojs lacks, whereas iojs has the upstream development that Nodejs lacks. So they kept the best of both worlds, but that required bumping the version to 4.0.0 so nothing breaks.

    Yup.

    When they released the Sunwell raid at the tail end of BC and had it tied it with daily/weekly quest completion. I stopped playing. Haven't looked back

  15. Re:Will this slow down the Internet? on Windows 10 Launches · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised actually by my download rate.

    Looks like Microsoft did their homework and put up a good delivery system.

    I know a few game publishers who might want to take a couple notes.

  16. The code... on NSA Releases Open Source Security Tool For Linux · · Score: 2

    The Github link in the summary isn't to the code.

  17. As a motorcyclist... on NYC Asks Google Maps For Fewer Left Turns · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As a motorcyclist, I avoid left turns like the plague.

    Not for safety reasons, but because I don't want to sit there for 15 minutes waiting for a car that weighs enough to pull up behind me to trigger the lights to turn green.

    We waste so much of our lives waiting at red lights its baffling!

  18. Try always... on First Java 0-Day In 2 Years Exploited By Pawn Storm Hackers · · Score: 0

    In this regard, I think so.

    For a computer to look at an image as a whole and not bit-by-bit, the software behind image recognition must be amazing.

    I'm impressed with every one of these stories.

  21. Re:Learn jQuery on To Learn (Or Not Learn) JQuery · · Score: -1, Troll

    I don't know how many developers who say they are "experts" in JavaScript and jQuery get this question wrong:

            What does .bind() do?

    90% instantly think I mean $.bind(), 9% initially think I meant .bind, but then go back to $.bind(). The other 1% actually know what I'm talking about.

    This is why jQuery can be dangerous. Makes developers oblivious to the underlying language.

  22. Re:Please divest on Bill Gates Investing $2 Billion In Renewables · · Score: 2

    You understand that is probably the exact reason, in this case, Bill Gates, is not divesting.

    And hopefully, again, in this case, he is using the profits from that industry to help invest in renewables.

    That would be 200% okay in my book. A robin hood of sorts for investments.

    Gitlab's Omni-installer makes it very easy for a standard installation of a private Git server. It's very simple and works great for basic installations.
