  1. One day, with a lot of luck, you will have a partner who can help explain to you the difference between trivia ( oh no, google thinks it knows where I am ) and a sadistic assault.

  2. Re: Why??? on Europe Should Be Afraid of Huawei, EU Tech Official Says (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    Fair enough, but all the froth about what "HuaWei + PRC might do" demands a calming dose of what âoeCisco+USA actually didâ.

  3. Re:A better article would answer questions on Scientists Discover Rare Giant Viruses Lurking In Harvard Forest Soil (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, why could they only get quadruple by sampling more? Is this an intrinsic property of giant viri or is there a hidden process which takes control at this point? So many questions.

  4. Re:... there will always be zombies ... on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 1

    When slagging apple is trendy, they will slag apple.

  5. Re:Not the only factor? on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 1

    Where well working market is a measure of the real world conforming to their theory. Slightly reminiscent of high school physics experiments where the uncertainty permitted nearly any explanation for observed phenomena.

  6. Re:Security system of the Jeep Cherokee .. on BlackBerry Denies QNX Was To Blame In Jeep Cherokee Hack · · Score: 1

    QNX is a component; they donâ(TM)t make jeeps. The system most likely runs on an Ti/ARM; did anybody at Ti or ARM ask if the Jeep was immune to hacking?

    The customer is the right person to ask.
    Cust: Is this car immune to hacking?
    Sales: yes.
    Cust: Where, in the warrantee does it say that?
    Sales: uhm...

  7. Re:Old guy story on BlackBerry Denies QNX Was To Blame In Jeep Cherokee Hack · · Score: 1

    1993 qnx ran fine on a 286. The 32bit version was still a few years away at that point. 286 + 2M ram made for a decent development machine.

  8. Re:But its cooler here... on The Last Three Months Were the Hottest Quarter On Record · · Score: 1

    As you understand Rush? How do you navigate that exquisite maze of nuance and insight? Do you have to be a sell out junkie to really get it?

  9. Re:Sad, sad times... on Study: People Would Rather Be Shocked Than Be Alone With Their Thoughts · · Score: 1

    Sounds a lot like public transit, like sitting on an inside seat in a plane, without the sap next to you mistaking the reclining chair for a therapy couch.

  10. Re:"scientists or astronauts ..the best candidates on Study: Earthlings Not Ready For Alien Encounters, Yet · · Score: 1

    We may not have the necessary social skills; so sending the least socially adept people we can find will do what? Lower their expectations? Elicit sympathy?

  11. Re:Unfortunately theoretical no practical/actual on Stanford Bioengineers Develop 'Neurocore' Chips 9,000 Times Faster Than a PC · · Score: 1

    ... Apples to the normal PC's....

    Do you think it could run OS X ?

  12. We are getting smarter? on Stanford Bioengineers Develop 'Neurocore' Chips 9,000 Times Faster Than a PC · · Score: 1

    If you remove the outliers, our brains seem to be growing in accordance with Moore's Law.
    I wonder how many there are now...

  13. Re:Use Case on Lying Eyes: Cyborg Glasses Simulate Eye Expressions · · Score: 1

    Donâ(TM)t worry. I have a feeling you wonâ(TM)t have to put up with that for much longer.

  14. Re:The U. S. of A. does not operate in this mode on Study Finds US Is an Oligarchy, Not a Democracy · · Score: 2

    Remember the coalition of the coerced?
    He couldn't even rally the world community....

  15. Re:If it has Apple's name on it, it's crap. on How Apple's CarPlay Could Shore Up the Car Stereo Industry · · Score: 1

    A bit of a sore spot, eh? You work for MS? Maybe on the SYNC?

  16. change is the constant on OpenBSD Team Cleaning Up OpenSSL · · Score: 1

    And thus another decade long slashdot argument turns out to be an elementary lexical oversight.

  17. Re:You Will Be Surprised on Job Automation and the Minimum Wage Debate · · Score: 2

    It is quite possible you responded to a post by a travesty generator; that is the post was a joke about what automation will replace.

    If I've offended someone, sorry.

  18. Re:Not how it works? on AT&T Exec Calls Netflix "Arrogant" For Expecting Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    AT&T (nee Bell) played a pivotal role in the development of packet switched networks. The combination of excessive long distance rates and circuit congestion spurred the development of least cost packet routing.

    Maybe they are trying to help spur technology that will take them out of the picture completely.

  19. Re:Social network API on The Era of Facebook Is an Anomaly · · Score: 1

    | Advertisements is the only way its going to happen.

    That is a bleak assessment of where these services are at. Only the bottom feeders will pay for them.

  20. Does it matter if its true? on Religion Is Good For Your Brain · · Score: 2

    I like to dance. Much of dance is derived from tribal rituals. I can still enjoy dancing without fear of affecting the weather.

  21. Jerry Garcia, prophet on First LSD Test In 40 Years Reveal Drug Helps Terminal Patients Prepare For Death · · Score: 1

    The Grateful Dead takes on a deeper meaning.

  22. Re:Google really cares about Linux on Google Won't Enable Chrome Video Acceleration Because of Linux GPU Bugs · · Score: 1

    I think it is more like comparing a dragon fly to a pack of dingos.

  23. How can drivers protect themselves.... on Stack Overflow Could Explain Toyota Vehicles' Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 1

    One way would be to insist that automakers do not nickel and dime design vehicles. The critical components related to vehicle safety should be designed for safety first, cost second.

    These vehicles go for over $20 000, I should at least have the option to pay an extra $1000 to chuck the electronic crap.

  24. The knee jerk reaction... on A Corporate War Against a Scientist, and How He Fought Back · · Score: 1

    There are the good few (companies) that spoil it for the rotten masses, but they are so rare as to seldom garner a mention.
    I would expect that a good company would immediately fire the author of this snivelling little shit strategy, not implement it.

  25. Quite a mystery on Astronomers Investigating Unknown Object That Hit the Earth In 773 AD · · Score: 2

    Good thing you brought it here. Nothing solves a mystery faster than wild ass conjecture.
