  1. Face book will do what its told by the government within the bounds of the law. In america, Facebook might be able to deny disclosure based on the the freedoms we enjoy here, but in Germany (any other place with very little freedom of expression/speech) , if the government says give me the data, they will do it or be in big trouble.

  6. Same credentials, multiple sites on Inside Germany's Plan To Kill Online Registrations (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    I thought having the same authentication for multiple sites was bad practice? I guess I'm living in the past! I should change my bank password and username to match my Slashdot creds, then I will only have to remember once set!

  16. Leaks on Russian Arrested in Spain 'Over US Election Hacking' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    If its true, what makes what he did any different than what the USA does all the time in other countries? The difference is that the USA uses missiles to change another nations political power sometimes.

  17. For software development, a 2 year degree might work out with a talented and dedicated employee. But what about computer engineering? Are the upper level 4 year degree classes required in order to be successful in say...designing a processor architecture or a designing a small computer like the pi? Unlike software development, computer engineering stuff like that is hard to learn independently.

  18. Re:I think someone without a degree wrote that sum on Why More Tech Companies Are Hiring People Without Degrees (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you really think Intel would invest £300m into improving diversity just because some "SJWs" criticised them? No, it's because they expect a return on that investment.

    If Intel really wanted people, they would spend that money trying to increase the pool of workers no matter what their identity is. For example, if Intel really wanted to maximize its available workers, it would try to encourage boys AND girls, instead of just girls. But if a company tries to encourage more boys (along with girls) into stem, the crazy portion of the pubic would flip out.

  23. Re:Beards and suspenders. on Ask Slashdot: "Real" Computer Scientists vs. Modern Curriculum? · · Score: 1

    I recently started developing a just for fun file archiver/compressor/encryptor in c++. My java friends think I'm insane. Especially insane when I told them I spent a whole weekend trying to reduce the file size of the compression, or trying to write an algorithm that finds the most efficient file buffer size on any given system (still on that part). That project taught me about endians and memory management. Let me ask you this, Is assembly really worth the time to learn? I have been rolling the idea aroudn the old noggin for a few weeks, but I'm just not sure it its practical knowledge these days. What can I do with assembly that I cant do in c++? Screw it, I better figure this out, no sleep till I know assembly.
