  1. Re:Demolition Man on German Railways To Test Anti-Graffiti Drones · · Score: 1

    Me too, however after coming back to 2013 I thought that oleophobic coating would solve the problem at the source.

    I'm not sure if you're kidding with the 2GB monthly cap, we're talking about cable and DSL connections here, not phones.

    I do know that my monthly cap is around 30GB though, so Xbox one is not a valid option when they announce bullshit like this. My quota is already allocated to Netflix in low-quality mode. That tells you a lot about ISPs in Canada when Netflix has to add a third, lower-quality setting just for us.

  9. News for lazy nerds on Meet Pidora, the New Official Fedora Remix For Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Wake me up when you can run a lightweight Linux distro on an Arduino.

    What do you mean, it'll never fit and it's too slow? Learn to trim your software first, stop increasing the required hardware.

    We used to have home computers with less computing power than an ATmega328, so get off my lawn!

    Why would a nalog hole be dirty?

    I believe that should be "Get. A fucking. Life, eh?"

  15. Re:So... on German IT Firm Seeks Autistic Workers · · Score: 5, Funny

    So we should say "people with slashdotism" and not "insensitive clod"?

  16. So... on German IT Firm Seeks Autistic Workers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People with autism have a neural development disorder that often undermines their ability to communicate and interact socially [...] but in the world of computers the tendencies they often display such as an obsession for detail and an ability to analyze long sets of data very accurately can translate into highly useful and marketable skills.

    From that description, I'd guess that 95% of autistic people already work in the IT field.

    Torchwood, Red Dwarf, etc. It seems the older it is, the stronger the accent is.

    We already eat foods that could be stored for years.

    But I still prefer to dry-freeze them in blocks and then cut them up on my CNC into regular food shapes.

  19. Re:LET THE CHILDREN DIE ALREADY on House Bill Would Mandate Smart Gun Tech By U.S. Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    That's the problem with "Think of the children": not enough Darwin Awards.

  20. Double standards on House Bill Would Mandate Smart Gun Tech By U.S. Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    Wallace said any technology that may impede the proper function of a weapon is a problem.

    SNFOTM has a nice ring to it.

  25. Re:Meanwhile in Quebec... on Australia Makes Asian Language Learning a Priority · · Score: 1

    I'm not quite sure how to translate "fuck you" in french, and I was born and lived all my life in Québec.

    I'm asking, just in case I ever have to confront one of those "language cop".
