  1. Now I can no longer stream.

  2. needs more Blockchain on Researchers Find Critical Backdoor In Swiss Online Voting System (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Any system where records are opaquely held is ripe for abuse and fraud.

  3. This maybe illegal on Coders Used Ham Radio To Send Bitcoin From Canada To San Francisco (coindesk.com) · · Score: 1

    The FCC dictates one mustn'ttrade via ham radio

  4. Hearing Zuckerberg talk about privacy is like hearing a fat person talking about their diet.

  5. Margaret Thatcher... on After Amazon Increases Worker Wages, Whole Foods Responds By Cutting Worker Hours (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Socialism is fine until you run out of other people's money. A retail worker is not worth $30,000/year. When politicians, who hypocritically tout the wants of "the people" for their own purposes pass legislation purporting to seek a higher wage floor, corporations have no choice but to respond by slashing hours and benefits.

  6. 19 years to rebuild Linux from Scratch

  7. It all went to hell after [i]screen[/i]

  8. Re: Torvalds rant: X86 development vs Arm Developm on Apple Expected To Move Mac Line To Custom ARM-Based Chips Starting Next Year, Says Report (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    RISC has been alive longer than the x86. It's nice to see a company going back to its roots. That said, I think the idea here is to synergize all platforms.

  9. Re:So what happened to the comments lately? on AMD's Latest Server Compute GPU Packs In 32GB of Memory · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has decided that this website shall be used as a marketing tool to further their own existence rather than a site that is "News for Nerds" as originally intended. Therefore, it's a tragic consequence that some users will feel it's not worth writing insightful messages 100% of the time. Besides, there are only a few production houses where these cards will really be able to be used, and they've already got their orders places, so for the rest of us, these cards are merely measuring sticks by which we realize how quickly our formerly "new" cards are becoming more obsolete.

  10. Finally on AMD's Latest Server Compute GPU Packs In 32GB of Memory · · Score: 3, Funny

    This will cut my rendering time of Hentai down dramatically.

  11. Re:Cycles are too cheap on Aura: Harnessing the Power of IoT Devices For Distributed Computing · · Score: 1

    I don't see the issue with $0.06/kW. We pay $0.045/kW here. That would be free electricity depending on how much we produced.

  12. Misleading title on The Words That Indicate Malicious Domain URLs · · Score: 0

    "Words that indicate" leads the sheep among us to believe that all URLs citing the words presented shall be construed as malicious.

  13. Is data deleted? NO!! on Police Scanning Every Face At UK Download Festival · · Score: 2

    There is no such thing as a temporary tax, or in this case, data collection. The UK is the shining example behind North Korea of an oppressive police state. These data will be used to further inhibit the lives of the citizenry.

  14. Forget Doom, Fallout 4 is where it's at. on Bethesda Unveils New Doom Game, Announces Dishonored 2 · · Score: 1

    I owe a lot of my formative years to playing Doom, but like the dinosaurs, it's time to move on. Revitalizing the Doom games is nothing short of a money grab, whereas I think Fallout represents a paradigm shift in pushing the limits of what's possible. I'll be first in line when Fallout 4 comes out.

  15. Mangement on Ask Slashdot: How to Avoid The Worst of a Tech Bubble? · · Score: 1

    If you can finagle it, try getting into a management position. Sounds like you have plenty of experience to base your campaign off of. You'll be better compensated and have a lot more upwards mobility.

  16. What makes this different? on Starcoder Uses a Multiplayer Game to Teach Programming (Video # 1) · · Score: 1

    Code Combat (http://codecombat.com/) is a really cool interactive way to learn programming. Got a good intro to JS there. There's a bunch of other sites already out there, what does StarCoder offer that they do not?

  17. Important question!! on AMD Radeon Fury and Fury X Specs Leaked, HBM-Powered Graphics On the Way · · Score: 1

    How many MH/s will this new card mine for Script and other hash currencies?

  18. Money and technology cannot replace what's missing on Technology Won't Fix America's Neediest Schools -- It Makes Bad Education Worse · · Score: 1

    It's sad that people feel that the combination of money and technology will fix the classroom issues, what no one seems to realize is that the human factor has more to do in a classroom. Instructors who can inspire confidence in pupils make the difference in the classroom. The human factor cannot be replaced, the idea that no one understands this continues to befuddle me. Forget dumping money and technology into classrooms. Fire all the bad teachers, abolish the idea of tenure in public schools, and then things can start to think about improving.

  19. Linux From Scratch on Outlining Thin Linux · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://www.linuxfromscratch.or... Everything you need, nothing you want.

  20. Nice title on European Space Agency Picks Site For First Comet Landing In November · · Score: 0

    Did anyone else read this title and wonder where in the EU they were going to land a comet?

  21. Multiple layers on Ask Slashdot: What To Do After Digitizing VHS Tapes? · · Score: 1

    If you're concerned with keeping them for a long long time, consider using flash, magnetic, and optical storage. Blue-Ray burners are pretty cheap now days, as are big multiple terabyte drives.

  22. Meaningless without drive on Modular Hive Homes Win Mars Base Design Competition · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These design competitions are great for inspiring the creativity, but we, as a species are not motivated enough to colonize another planet. Until that changes, nothing substantial will happen.

  23. Heart warming on Gene Therapy Converts Heart Cells Into "Biological Pacemakers" · · Score: 0

    Advances like this will unquestionably lead to better patient outcomes following heart failure.

  24. Obama on vacation on Malaysian Passenger Plane Reportedly Shot Down Over Ukraine · · Score: -1

    Just in, Obama is at Martha's Vinyard, he's very upset with Russia for interrupting his $12Million dollar taxpayer vacation.

  25. Google = Skynet on Google's Project Zero Aims To Find Exploits Before Attackers Do · · Score: 0

    First it was accessing and data-basing "open" wifi, now they want to hack everything. Google is Skynet 1.0
