  1. Not the first time... on Microsoft's First Azure Hosted Service Is Powered By Linux · · Score: 1

    Hotmail used to run on Solaris.

  2. Re:Class Action Lawsuit Filed on Putting a MacBook Pro In the Oven To Fix It · · Score: 1

    http://www.macrumors.com/2014/... It's a problem for 10s of 1000s of MacBook Pro users who purchased in 2011

    Except the class action lawsuit only applies to a small percentage of users who have the problem - those in CA and FL. Representatives from other states were not found.

  3. Re:May want a disclaimer here... on Putting a MacBook Pro In the Oven To Fix It · · Score: 1

    But if your MBP won't boot up anymore, what would it hurt to put it in the oven?

  4. Re:Bombs in the US? on The Interview Bombs In US, Kills In China, Threatens N. Korea · · Score: 1

    This is why we need mod points for articles themselves.

  5. Re:And OJ offers a reward to find the real killer on North Korea Denies Responsibility for Sony Attack, Warns Against Retaliation · · Score: 1

    You have a point, but it was either Stuxnet or a nuclear strike by Israel. Given those two options, I think we're all better off with Stuxnet.

    Iran is close enough to Israel that they couldn't be sure the radiation from a nuclear strike wouldn't spread back to Israel.

  6. When they say they care about privacy... on DOJ Launches New Cybercrime Unit, Claims Privacy Top Priority · · Score: 1

    They care about the NSA's privacy. They don't want anyone to know what the NSA is doing.

  7. Many humans don't have the right to bodily liberty on New Effort To Grant Legal Rights To Chimpanzees Fails · · Score: 1

    All the boys who are strapped down and circumcised...

  8. Holodeck on Ultrasound Used To Create Haptics That Can Be Touched and Felt · · Score: 1

    We could build a holodeck this way.

  9. Re:I'll never be employed on Want To Work For a Cool Tech Company? Hone Your Social Skills · · Score: 1

    having people skills can actually make you a stand out that will get promoted and allow you to progress in your career.

    That's what people here DON'T want. They don't want to be promoted. They want to stay with coding forever.

  10. Why not fund cameras using civil forfeiture funds? on Obama Offers Funding For 50,000 Police Body Cameras · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why not fund cameras using the money they stole via civil forfeiture?

  11. Re:Oh my god, you're actually serious??? on Ask Slashdot: IT Career Path After 35? · · Score: 0

    My IT career didn't even *start* until I was 32 or 33, it's 20 years later now... and I'm doing just fine, thanks.

    But are you a coder or are you a manager? "IT career" can mean many things, including being in management.

  12. Re:Yes on Ask Slashdot: IT Career Path After 35? · · Score: 0

    A catastrophic health problem can change your plans overnight, at any age. Throw in that the older you get, the more likely it is to happen ... and employers can do the math too.

    Not sure what the point of this response is. A catastrophic health problem can happen to anyone, whether they are a coder, in management, etc.

  13. Get a divorce on Ask Slashdot: Making a 'Wife Friendly' Gaming PC? · · Score: 0

    Do you really think she's being reasonable?!

  14. There's a reason why it's LOLcats.com on Blame America For Everything You Hate About "Internet Culture" · · Score: 0

    Instead of LOLcats.fr

  15. The pixels must be tiny on Eizo Debuts Monitor With 1:1 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 0

    If a standard 1920x1080 monitor is 24-27" nowadays, then a 26.5" 1920x1920 is going to have a much smaller pixel size. Good luck trying to read any text.

  16. Better not put popcorn into the microwave. on US School Installs 'Shooter Detection' System · · Score: 0

    Keep this device out of the cafeteria or teachers' lounges.

  17. Re:Justin Bieber on How To End Online Harassment · · Score: 0

    Everyone stop making fun of her!

    Who's she?

  18. Some cards already have this - the virtual CC # on American Express Seeks To Swap Card Numbers For Secure Tokens · · Score: 0

    Some cards let you create a virtual CC # tied to your credit card and basically set it up for one-time use by putting a dollar limit and expiration date on it. Too bad some cards like Discover actually discontinued it.

  19. Re:There's a clue shortage on The Great IT Hiring He-Said / She-Said · · Score: 0

    The biggest clue shortage on the hiring side is requiring x years of experience with a tool or product that has only been out for less time than they're demanding. I've lost count of the numbers of times I've seen such asinine job posting requirements.

    They want someone who's willing to be a slave. If a technology has only been out for 2 years, but they ask for 4 years of experience with it, then they want to know you were working with that technology for 80 hours/week for 2 years.

  20. Wayback Machine cannot save that article on Pianist Asks Washington Post To Remove Review Under "Right To Be Forgotten" · · Score: 0

    "Page cannot be crawled or displayed due to robots.txt" What's the point of Wayback Machine if sites can just block it with a robots.txt?

  21. Re:Um on Charity Promotes Covert Surveillance App For Suicide Prevention · · Score: 0

    The summary said nothing about sharing those tweets with other people. It only said it sends you an email suggesting you contact them to help.

  22. Re:6 years of hacking with the same malware? on Security Companies Team Up, Take Down Chinese Hacking Group · · Score: 0

    Any hacker group that relies on the same malware code on their hacking, for 6 year straight, deserves no respect

    Any victim that keeps getting hacked by the same malware code for 6 years straight, deserves no sympathy.

  23. Re:She's.. on Ex-CBS Reporter Claims Government Agency Bugged Her Computer · · Score: 0

    Poof gone, and happens to all over us.

    Only happens to computer noobs.

  24. Re:From who's perspective? on Jedi-ism Becomes a Serious Religion · · Score: 0

    The Mormons and COS were both intended as money making operations to gain power.

    You could say that about most/all religions. The other religions are just less obvious about it.
