  1. I'm pretty sure the majority of people don't want to die.

    >Because we, you know, are idiots.

    At least you are.

  2. Re:When 4k BRs show up at redbox... on 4K UHD TVs Are Being Adopted Faster Than HDTVs (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would redbox stock 4k blu-rays before people have the ability to play them?

  3. Re:Great news everyone on Scientists' Biggest Search For Dark Matter To Date Just Turned Up Nothing (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    >the dark matter explanation feels a bit hacky anyway.

    Dark matter isn't the explanation, it's the question.

    We observe things like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    but we don't know what is causing them. "Dark matter" is just a short way of saying "whatever it is that is responsible for these things we are observing".

  4. You're the one being a douche here.

  5. Comments don't need subjects on US Navy Faces $600M Lawsuit For Allegedly Pirating 3D VR Software (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    The government should be required to only use open source software.

  6. Re:Really, this happens in America? How?? on Verizon Begins Charging a Fee Just to Use an Older Router (dslreports.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    >Seriously, if this happened in the UK there'd be a gigantic 'fuck off' from the customers

    Wait, wait, are we talking about the same UK where the citizens have to pay for a 'TV license'?

  7. Re: This is sacrilege plain and simple on George Takei Opposes Gay Sulu In 'Star Trek Beyond' (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    > How can you say it didn't,

    Because we saw several heterosexual relationships throughout the course of the series, and no homosexual ones.

    >However, there's nothing that bold or controversial about a gay character.

    Ok, then why doesn't Star Trek have any?

  9. A program on a computer can access the data of another program on the same computer?

    Why is this supposed to bother me?

  10. Re:Hmmm.... on China Censors Online Discussion About Panama Papers (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    >China has been surprisingly open WRT to the Panama Papers

    What are you talking about? This is an article about China censoring those papers. That is kind of the opposite of being "surprisingly open".

  11. Re:After reading this, i started wondering... on DOJ Threatens To Seize iOS Source Code (idownloadblog.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    You know those TSA approved luggage locks? The Washington Post did a story on them, and included pictures of the master keys.

    Someone saw this and used the photos to make a functional 3D-printed set of keys. All of those TSA approved locks are useless now.

    It is impossible to make a backdoor that only the "good guys" can use. It *will* get leaked, stolen, or cracked.

    "VR now isn't dramatically different from what we had back in the 90s."

    "Waste of money and time"

    It's so easy to identify the people who haven't actually tried out a headset.

    Thanks for letting us know you don't know what "appearance" means.

  18. Unstoppable on MIT Drone Autonomously Avoids Obstacles At 30 MPH (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 2

    Itâ(TM)s difficult to tell from this article whether they will massacre mankind or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them. The drones will soon be here.

    And I for one welcome our new drone overlords. Iâ(TM)d like to remind them that as a trusted Slashdot personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground battery caves.

    Are you retarded?

    He never said anything about what he thought should be legal or illegal.

    He simply stated the law as it currently is.

    >First, an attacker can easily find your network topology (i.e. which segment is what) with IPv6.

    So you've never heard of firewalls? A few rules creates a stateful firewall that performs the same "security" function as NAT.

    >And how many companies are sitting on vast blocks that are only partially tapped?

    Good idea, let's make those companies give up their /8s.

    That should give us a few more weeks worth of IP addresses.

  25. But that's wrong. on Ask Slashdot: What's the Harm In a Default Setting For Div By Zero? · · Score: 1

    Dividing by zero *should* crash your program.

    What if you were depending on the result of that division to determine which function to call.

    if(x == 0) doThis();
    else doThat();

    An incorrect result of 0 could lead to unpredictable results, which is bad for a program. It's better to make sure your input is clean so it doesn't come up in the first place.
