  1. How to you mess up length checks in this day and age?

  2. Re:what do you think about the perl guy? on Interviews: Ask Perl Creator Larry Wall a Question · · Score: 1

    > What do you say about this criticism and the exploited flaws?

    None of those have anything to do with Perl the language.

  3. Re:I doubt it was innocent mistake on Too Fat For Facebook: Photo Banned For Depicting Body In 'Undesirable Manner' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    > For some reason there's a huge number of people who absolutely hate on people who are fat.

    No, there's a huge number of people who hate on people who are fat that say it's perfectly healthy to be fat.

  4. Re:In case you were thinking about cutting the cor on AT&T Begins Capping Broadband Users (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    > I'm not sure how they can unilaterally do this without revisiting the contract.

    You mean what's already been in the contract since 2011? Just because they're enforcing it now doesn't mean the contract has changed.

  5. All smart watches are pointless ~nt~ on Pebble Unveils Pebble 2, Pebble Time 2, and Pebble Core Smartwatches (kickstarter.com) · · Score: 1

    Smartwatches are the 2016 equivalent to walking around with a bluetooth in your ear 24/7.

  6. Re:He's already punished himself on Guy Who Didn't Invent Email Sues Gawker For Pointing Out He Didn't Invent Email (techdirt.com) · · Score: 1

    Just like Gilbert Gottfried, that isn't her real voice.

  7. Re:Why is it a failure on Uber Plans To Kill Surge Pricing With Machine Learning (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    That's what surge pricing is supposed to do. it's supposed to incentivize more drivers to be on the road to meet demand. But once they do, pricing still stays high.

  8. Re:Levels of Car Autonomy on Volvo Engineer Calls Out Tesla For Dangerous 'Wannabe' Autopilot System (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure that fits the definition of Level 1.

  9. > rather than pivoting to actually address the market shift that the disruption heralds.

    Tesla fanboy detected. Volvo/VW/etc have had similar for a long time.

  10. Re:So, what's the problem here? on Uber's New Policy Fines Riders Who Are Two Minutes Late · · Score: 1

    Because most people dont want to have to wait 15-20 minutes for a pickup during busy times, so they request a ride before they're really ready, and misjudge their time.

  11. Court of Public Opinion on In a First, Judge Throws Out Evidence Obtained from FBI Malware (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Doesn't really matter how guilty (or innocent) he is, being charged for kiddy porn is a good life killer.

  12. Some say it's still sinking to this day. All we know . . . it's called THE STIG!

  13. Re:This bull on VPN Blockade Backlash Doesn't Hurt Us, Says Netflix (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    Just because it's a US title doesn't mean the rights holder sold the US distribution rights to Netflix

  14. Did you expect a different result? ~nt~ on Joking About Giving Money To ISIS Can Cost You Money (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    ~nt~

  15. I thought this was the Magnited States of America

  17. > If you give someone the key to your neighbor's house (which you have as a trustworthy neighbor) and the guy you give the key to goes inside and takes a shit on their carpet, I don't think you'd be looking at 2 years in prison.

    The better analogy is "If you give someone who you know is going to take a shit in your neighbors house, the key to said neighbors house, you're not that innocent"

    Saying "Oh, I didn't know Anonymous was going to do anything malicious" means you're just an idiot.

  18. Bullshit on Internet Mapping Glitch Turned a Random Kansas Farm Into a Digital Hell (fusion.net) · · Score: 5, Informative

    "“Until you reached out to us, we were unaware that there were issues with how we selected these lat/lons,”"

    Bullshit.

  19. Re:How did they do it? on Experts Crack Petya Ransomware, Enable Hard Drive Decryption For Free · · Score: 1

    No, it doesn't store the key on the drive. That's what the GA cracks.

  20. As Tesla expands from the 'enthusiast' into the general automotive market, most people aren't going to way 3-4 years for a car, they'll just buy their next choice. That's why it's an issue.

  21. Motive on Google's $149 Nik Photo Editing Suite Goes Free · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In other words, they dont want to support or develop it any more and now they can point to the Free price tag for justification.

  22. Re:They are right, but will they get it right? on Rust-Based Redox OS Devs Slam Linux, Unix, GPL · · Score: 0

    It came from Mozilla, so the answer is: "No, no they won't get it right"

  23. Eh? on Microsoft Opens Up Azure Cloud in Germany Even It Can't Access (windowsitpro.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    (using a technology similar to what you might know as JIT)

    I think most people would associate JIT with Just-In-Time compilers, but I fail to see how that translates to credentialing.

  24. Where's my UTF8? on The State of Slashdot: Https, Poll Changes, Auto-Refresh, Videos, and More · · Score: 2

    Just kidding, I'm sure fixing slashcode for that is going to be a nightmare.

  25. Re:You Will Not Stop Anyone from Ripping on Peter Jackson and JJ Abrams 'Back' Sean Parker's Screening Room (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    They'll probably have individual watermarks for each subscriber so they can point directly to who leaked it. And considering it's not a large theater, it'd be quite obvious they were complicit in the filming.
