  1. Why on Netflix: Non-'A' Players Unworthy of Jobs · · Score: 1

    Why is this a strategy? Why are they doing this? Because they want the best code? Or because they want the best design? Is the result only dependant on the coders?

  2. Re:NSA/CIA Chilling effects, billion lost. on Investor Lawsuit Blames NSA For $12B Loss In IBM Value · · Score: 1

    None, if you want proof of it.

  3. Re:What a great man on Nelson Mandela Dead At 95 · · Score: 1

    And whose fault is that? One can wonder why a single person is so hard to miss. Is he the only sane person or is everyone else fighting with each other? Two sides of the medallion.

  4. Why would I care about hot air on Volvo Plans To Have Self-Driving Cars In Swedish City of Gothenburg By 2017 · · Score: 1

    If I want to be near hot air I would be flying gliders in Australia instead of listening to marketing BS.

  5. Re:When it's out of your control on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Protect Your Privacy When It's Out of Your Control? · · Score: 1

    It is like a facial captcha, I guess.

  6. Checksums anyone on Have 100GB Free? Host Your Own Copy of Wikipedia, With Images · · Score: 1

    I am missing checksums to verify the download. It seems sourceforge has the tendency to change stuff.

  7. Re:There is no "shortfall". on Code.org: More Money For CS Instructors Who Teach More Girls · · Score: 1

    this...

  8. Re:There is no "shortfall". on Code.org: More Money For CS Instructors Who Teach More Girls · · Score: 1

    Some people do not have the talent to create a class... They can change one, understand an existing one, but not create one. I work with several of these people. They lack creativity.

  9. Re:I ask them, "What's my IP address?" on Microsoft Customers Hit With New Wave of Fake Tech Support Calls · · Score: 1

    Oh, but that is my buddy you need to talk to... please hold.

  10. Re:Only if I can use self signed certs on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 2

    Certificates change because they expire, too.

  11. Re:Still extortion... on HTTP 2.0 May Be SSL-Only · · Score: 1

    I did not dive into the subject, but how is it idifficult to run a few dns servers?

  12. Re:Should be 1% not 10% on Microsoft Kills Stack Ranking · · Score: 1

    Yes really. So you fired 5 and hired 5 new ones. Either another few of the 95 remaing are bad too or your new hires are bad. Because next year you are about to fire from that pool.

    Unless you say that 5% of the people turn bad by themselves every year.

  13. Re:Stack ranking is operating by the old saying on Microsoft Kills Stack Ranking · · Score: 1

    The analogy is quite striking: There is no external goal, with meaning, that they can achieve. Ergo: There is no vision or ambition for the future.

  14. Re:mental health on Sweden Is Closing Many Prisons Due to Lack of Prisoners · · Score: 1

    And it really does not matter who pays for healthcare (or any other common cost post), whichever is more efficient. Taxes are bad only when it hides a government which is (more) inefficient (than businesses).

  15. He should have... on Man In Tesla Model S Fire Explains What Happened · · Score: 1

    He should have installed a firewall.

  16. Re:Alternate host? on GIMP, Citing Ad Policies, Moves to FTP Rather Than SourceForge Downloads · · Score: 1

    Ah... And fwiw also owned by Dice (when I looked into it). As far as I know there has always been a difference, per project, on how much hosting actually took place on SourceForge.

    I am most interested in finding good stuff. Anyone can host a tgz.

  17. Re:Alternate host? on GIMP, Citing Ad Policies, Moves to FTP Rather Than SourceForge Downloads · · Score: 1

    Funny how it is missing Freshmeat.net / Freecode.com.

  18. Re:It tried to follow the plot on Critics Reassess Starship Troopers As a Misunderstood Masterpiece · · Score: 1

    Is one not allowed to show his opinion? And you conclude that to be it?

  19. Re:The book is no good on Book Review: Testing Cloud Services: How To Test SaaS, PaaS & IaaS · · Score: 1

    There are other means of learning than by trial-and-error.

  20. The book is no good on Book Review: Testing Cloud Services: How To Test SaaS, PaaS & IaaS · · Score: 1

    There does not seem to be a comprehensive list of possible services a *aaS system may fulfill and risks that its service may be interrupted. To just mention the performance and testplatform risk does not really cut it.

  21. Re:We marketers ruin everything on How PR Subverts Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Oh, you want a hard sell [Citation given]?

  22. Re:Solving real world problems on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Hardest Things Programmers Have To Do? · · Score: 1

    Yet your logic does not work very wel and is therefore falsified. Find a new theorem. Politician.

  23. Re:Hazard on Volvo Developing Nano-Battery Tech Built Into Car Body Panels · · Score: 1

    Darwinawards.com is always looking for new members.

  24. Re:Proof on Some Bing Ads Redirecting To Malware · · Score: 1

    And no website wants $1 when they can get $2. This is not about costs, it is about companies wanting to make profit.

  25. Re:Minimal Trust: on Security After the Death of Trust · · Score: 1

    So you do not really care about privacy, wether it be government (yours or others) or organised crime.

    Privacy is a requirement for personal safety. Wether it is financial, physical or psychological safety. You give up your safety too easily and think it does not matter. I am fine with the first (for now) but not the second.
