  1. WinSCP sucks. on Why Aren't We Using SSH For Everything? · · Score: 1

    It's sucked for a long ass time. I've tried it with HPN on and off, and tried setting it between SCP and SFTP modes, the thing is nowhere near as fast as it should be.

  2. Re:Pullin' a Gates? on How We'll Program 1000 Cores - and Get Linus Ranting, Again · · Score: 1

    The layout of the flags in the x87 status register is "interesting", indirectly driven by the desire to map to the x86 flags

    an Intel FPU was designed for an Intel CPU/APU? Who would have thunked it.

  3. Re:Mutex lock on How We'll Program 1000 Cores - and Get Linus Ranting, Again · · Score: 1

    I use SSD, you insensitive clod!

  4. Prove it. on Lizard Squad Targets Tor · · Score: 2

    I'm tired of hearing about these "anonymous" "hacking" "groups" and their supposed "achievements". I don't care if you get arrested. Prove to me that you're legit.

  5. Put up a wall at the border. on Colorado Sued By Neighboring States Over Legal Pot · · Score: 1

    Toll booths. "Random" inspections. Lengthy waits in a office while people tear your car apart and give you an anal probe. I mean, it works for Canada and Mexico, right?

  6. Re:Old news on FBI Confirms Open Investigation Into Gamergate · · Score: 1

    They didn't name names, but you're completely willing to do so even though you don't know who did it, and it could have been someone on the other side completely. You are precisely the kind of person that you claim to be railing against.

    Oh please. It's not as if I'm the one doxxing or harassing people on twitter. If anything, my comment was speculation at best. Most people who have been following gamergate since September can put two-and-two together and come to the same conclusion. If I'm wrong, so be it, but the chances of that aren't very likely.

  7. Re:Old news on FBI Confirms Open Investigation Into Gamergate · · Score: 1

    I hate replying to myself, but I also wanted to mention, it's been suggested that Brianna Wu didn't even leave her house the night of her supposed doxxing... Which makes her look like even more of a hypocrite.

  8. Old news on FBI Confirms Open Investigation Into Gamergate · · Score: 2

    Anyone whose been following gamergate would know this by now. This is late October news. The FBI has also stated that some people named as hacking victims had in-fact hacked themselves. Didn't name names, but three names that come to mind are Phil Fish, Zoe Quinn and Brianna Wu.

  9. What took them so long? on Facebook Drops Bing Search Results · · Score: 0
    Seriously, is...

    SELECT * FROM posts WHERE uid=123 AND post LIKE %abc%;

    ... that hard to do?

  10. QNX sucks on Ford Ditches Microsoft Partnership On Sync, Goes With QNX · · Score: 1

    Oops, I just hacked your car.

  11. Re:Courts? on FISA Court Extends Section 215 Bulk Surveillance For 90 Days · · Score: 1

    Only if you're bum-buddies with Obama.

  12. Re:Fracture the Internet on North Korea Denies Involvement In "Righteous" Sony Hack · · Score: 1

    When was the last time you heard of China trying to extradite American hackers? In America, it's a monthly event.

  13. Fracture the Internet on North Korea Denies Involvement In "Righteous" Sony Hack · · Score: 1

    Disconnect China, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Cuba, and the "former USSR" from the internet. 90% of the Internet's problems solved.

  14. Prove it. on Heathrow Plane In Near Miss With Drone · · Score: 1

    Show me a picture of the drone taken from inside the aircraft. I've heard this kind of story so many times, only to find out that the drone was nowhere near the altitude or location that the complaint originated.

  15. blah blah blah on 45-Year Physics Mystery Shows a Path To Quantum Transistors · · Score: 1
    To draw a quote from myself, re nanotubes...

    Every time I hear about (snip) quantum computing (snip), they keep saying "soon soon soon"... Well, what I want to know is when this stuff will leave the research labs and be of any practical use to anyone. Either shit or get off the pot already.

  16. Re:When will they block Slashdot? on British 'Porn Filter' Blocks Access To Chaos Computer Club · · Score: 5, Informative

    games.slashdot.org is blocked by my work filter because "games". While slashdot does not contain any actual games, the word in the URL is enough to trigger the block. It also blocks gaming news websites as "games", despite being a news website. Add on top of that, randomly blocking electronic cigarette websites as "weapons". Filters are broken indeed.

  17. It is Silicon Valley mumbo jumbo buzzwords that don’t mean anything

    Oh, you mean like business buzzwords like "synergy" and "innovation" and "accreditation"? Give me a break.

  18. Either shit or get off the pot... on Nanotube Film Could Replace Defective Retinas · · Score: 1
    To quote myself from the last graphene article...

    Every time I hear about graphite, graphene, bucky balls, nanotubes, and all these other carbon buzzwords, they keep saying "soon soon soon"... Well, what I want to know is when this stuff will leave the research labs and be of any practical use to anyone. Either shit or get off the pot already.

  19. Only in America.... on MasterCard Rails Against Bitcoin's (Semi-)Anonymity · · Score: 0

    Oh wait.

  20. Good for them on US Gov't Seeks To Keep Megaupload Assets Because Kim Dotcom Is a Fugitive · · Score: 0

    Nothing that was hosted there is relevant now. There's also 50 other sites to take it's place.

  21. Re:Kum-ba-yah on Debian Votes Against Mandating Non-systemd Compatibility · · Score: 0

    What diversity? Everybody is quitting.

  22. Dubious claims on City of Toronto Files Court Injunction Against Uber · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Toronto is Canada's largest city, the fourth largest in North America, and home to a diverse population of about 2.8 million people.

    4th largest? Somehow I doubt that.

    New York is big, but I imagine that Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, and DC are bigger than Toronto.

  23. Re:Caller ID spoofing on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With VoIP Fraud/Phishing Scams? · · Score: 1

    Don't care. I'm tired of calling India when I'm trying to reach my ISP/TelCo/CableCo/etc/etc/etc.

  24. Re:Not a real (earth)worm. on A Worm's Mind In a Lego Body · · Score: 1

    Replying to myself is kindof dumb, but obligatory Earthworm Jim... https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  25. Not a real (earth)worm. on A Worm's Mind In a Lego Body · · Score: 0

    This is some sort of parasite like "ringworm", not an actual worm, aka earthworm.
