  2. Re:Some context on Fukushima Radiation Nears California Coast, Judged Harmless · · Score: 1

    Also, land of the typos and bad spelling.

  3. Re:Waterfox on Multi-Process Comes To Firefox Nightly, 64-bit Firefox For Windows 'Soon' · · Score: 1

    Well, I currently have 11 windows open with a total of about 230 tabs

    Surely you can't be serious. You've heard about bookmarks, right?

    Why the hell are you telling us all those facts and numbers?

    This is Slashdot, man. Land of the trolls, flamewars and nerd rage.

  5. Harmless? on Fukushima Radiation Nears California Coast, Judged Harmless · · Score: 1

    The team found a high of just 8 becquerels of radiation per cubic meter in ocean samples off the coast. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for drinking water allow up to 7400 becquerels per cubic meter.

    Damn it's 925 times lower than the maximum allowed by the U.S.A. EPA guidelines. And I wanted to make a "mostly harmless" joke.

  6. Re:Maybe people would hire you if on Black IT Pros On (Lack Of) Racial Diversity In Tech · · Score: 1

    Way to screw up my joke with your time zone facts.

  7. Re: I'm black and in tech on Black IT Pros On (Lack Of) Racial Diversity In Tech · · Score: 1

    Pointless comment, not over 9000.

  8. Re:Maybe people would hire you if on Black IT Pros On (Lack Of) Racial Diversity In Tech · · Score: 1, Informative

    Says the AC posting on Slashdot instead of getting some actual work done.

    Why would we need Sun to survive? Nobody uses Java applets anymore!

    Oh wait. I'm a Morlock.

  10. Re:Great! Now how about... on Apple Releases iMessage Deregistration Utility · · Score: 2

    Great! Now how about a utility for getting [...] all my data out of Time Machine?

    AFAIK Time Machine uses local storage. Then again I don't use iCloud, so maybe that's an option that I don't know about.

  11. Re: Huh on Apple Releases iMessage Deregistration Utility · · Score: 1

    There's better options than SMS on other devices.

    What we need is for Apple, Google, Microsoft and others to just sit down and agree to a single messaging service. We have a single standard for email, for the Web, for images (JPEG, PNG, GIF), why is messaging still messed-up after all those years?

  12. Re:iMessage isn't bad... on Apple Releases iMessage Deregistration Utility · · Score: 1

    And it's not the default configuration for all devices!

    If we could force users to use a single program instead of the default ones, Internet Explorer would have died a decade ago.

  13. Re:Overdue on Apple Releases iMessage Deregistration Utility · · Score: 4, Funny

    In Apple's defense, it took them 54 days to decide the radius for the corners of the patch.

  14. Re: Huh on Apple Releases iMessage Deregistration Utility · · Score: 2

    Not everyone has an "unlimited texts" contract. And when you compare the few dozen bytes required for a simple text message vs your data quota, it might as well be unlimited even with a monthly cap as low as 100MB.

    Also, iMessage also works on devices that are not a phone. This allows you to send a message from a Mac to another person who is on the road with his iPhone. Who the fuck needs SMS in 2014?

  15. Clueless on Canadian Police Recommend Ending Anonymity On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Next thing you know, they'll try to legally enforce the evil bit.

  16. Re:Watch out Pi on Eben Upton Explains the Raspberry Pi Model A+'s Redesign · · Score: 1

    Your phone system check could have been done with a low-cost Arduino, maybe even an ATtiny25/45/85.

    And that's one of the three R's.

    I thought the worldwide cost unit was the Big Mac?

  19. Re:Coming soon to a theater near you on Scientists Discover a Virus That Changes the Brain To "Make Humans More Stupid" · · Score: 1

    No, they're just copying Apple as usual.

    And as usual, a decade late.

  20. Chrome for Android and Safari for iOS? on Mozilla Launches Browser Built For Developers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So, they're running Android and iOS on your computer to run the same binaries as those platforms? If not, it's only emulation and when someone says they're emulating another browser the result is usually not worth it and nowhere close to the actual results on the other platforms.

    Joseph Heller — "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you."

    Your theory would also explain why most Slashdot readers aren't complete idiots, we spend most of our time indoors.
