  1. Re:Garland?? on Million-Square-Foot Data Center Being Built In Dallas · · Score: 1

    And with all the tech build up at the Alliance corridor in North Fort Worth, why would they pick the hell-hole of Garland???

  2. Garland?? on Million-Square-Foot Data Center Being Built In Dallas · · Score: 1

    is EAST of Dallas not north...

  3. Who paid off the German District Court? on FireEye Tries to Bury Keynote Reporting That It Ran Apache As Root On Security Servers · · Score: 1

    Three (3) weeks to serve the injunction? Someone has a new pair of shoes...

  4. Re:Do you even computer? on "Extremely Critical" OS X Keychain Vulnerability Steals Passwords Via SMS · · Score: 2, Informative
    Yea I was having a hard time making the SMS connection. TFA speculates that SMS "could" be used to transmit the hijacked passwords:

    It is then possible to intercept a user's password and send it to the attacker via SMS or any other means

    pretty far stretch if you ask me...

  5. Why??? on Why Do So Many Tech Workers Dislike Their Jobs? · · Score: 1

    ITIL, Six Sigma, Agile, I can go on for days...

  6. Re:Terrible movie on More Popcorn Time Users Sued · · Score: 2

    16 x $750 = $12K. You would think the lawyer fees would be at least that when it's all said and done. And like this is going to "deter infringement" for the masses...

  7. Re:Limited unlimited on Comcast To Charge $30 For Unlimited Data Over 300GB Cap · · Score: 2

    ... You're talking only 80 copies of Windows 10 per month you know.

    That sounds like a very sad habit...

  8. Re:Not surprising on Apple Partners With Cisco To Boost Enterprise Business · · Score: 2

    Sun Microsystems was that way too. Everyone had Macs (except for sales force). Then when we went to the Big-O, we all had to install the corporate XP image on VBox (or Fusion) to do our work...

  9. Maldives on NASA Scientists Paint Stark Picture of Accelerating Sea Level Rise · · Score: 1

    sucks to be there...

  12. Re:Pretty damned cold on Astronomers Discover Nearby 'Young Jupiter' Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    -800F Wow! I am thinking that might be below (well below!) Absolute Zero.

    What happens below absolute zero? Do electrons start orbiting backwards?

    I have to agree that was a poor choice of delimiter there...

  13. Battle bots in the air... on Drone Racing League Receives a $1 Million From Miami Dolphins Owner · · Score: 1

    What could possibly go wrong???

  14. Re:Correct on The Fastest-Growing Tech State Is... Minnesota · · Score: 1

    You're a "team manager" for a "Fortune 500" company and you don't know how to spell "Austin, TX"? -- FAIL!

  15. Flawed statistic on The Fastest-Growing Tech State Is... Minnesota · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should rank by number of jobs instead of % growth. When you go from 0 to something, the % is far greater than something big to something bigger...

  16. Re:Account to CSO on Oracle Exec: Stop Sending Vulnerability Reports · · Score: 1

    So basically Oracle is interested in license revenue than security?.

    If you don't know the answer to this, you don't know Oracle...

  17. One question: on Full-Duplex Radio Integrated Circuit Could Double Radio Frequency Data Capacity · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why? Is the spectrum that crowded that we need this? Making this work in the real-world will not be a piece of cake...

  18. You're kidding me right? on $56,000 Speeding Ticket Issued Under Finland's System of Fines Based On Income · · Score: 1

    Sooooo, what if a chauffeur gets a speeding ticket driving around some rich dude/dudette? Who's income/net worth would you use? The owner of the vehicle or the driver? This law is so wrong in so many ways. Finland must be full if idiots...

  19. A keyboard with the CTRL key in the correct place on Ask Slashdot: Good Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    I have a stockpile of Sun Type-7 Unix keyboards. I cannot type on anything else. IBM should be flogged for moving the CTRL key to below the shift...

  20. Nuts & Volts on After 47 Years, Computerworld Ceases Print Publication · · Score: 2

    I was more of a "Nuts and Volts" kind of guy. Never got into ComputerWorld but there were a ton of my classmates that was always carrying a copy back in the '80s.

  21. Re:Negative accidents on Traffic Optimization: Cyclists Should Roll Past Stop Signs, Pause At Red Lights · · Score: 1, Funny

    "Boise... 150 percent fewer than Bakersfield." How'd they manage that?

    "New Math" silly... ;)

  22. Re:Will never work.... on BMW Unveils the Solar Charging Carport of the Future · · Score: 1

    As if a BMW owner will live in a place with a "car port" and not a garage....

  24. Re:Are there any old drives around that read these on US Nuclear Missile Silos Use Safe, Secure 8" Floppy Disks · · Score: 1

    My first computer was an Apple ][ with two 8" floppies and a Z80 CP/M co-processor. The computer never booted AppleDOS (or whatever it was called) while I owned it. It was 100% CP/M.

  25. Re:Security through obscurity on US Nuclear Missile Silos Use Safe, Secure 8" Floppy Disks · · Score: 1

    .... as my security clearance restricts me for like 75 years or something....
