  1. Re:Lipstick on a pig! on Microsoft Releases Windows 10 IoT Core For Small, Embedded Devices · · Score: 1

    It's around USD$2.00 if you go with a "pro mini".

  2. Obligatory on MIT Designs Less Expensive Fusion Reactor That Boosts Power Tenfold · · Score: 0

    So... a new donut-shaped nuclear reactor and no Simpsons/Homer Simpson reference yet?

    I guess I'll make one by quoting South Park: "Simpsons did it!"

  3. Re:Oups on Microsoft Releases Windows 10 IoT Core For Small, Embedded Devices · · Score: 2

    I'm tired of hearing "Windows 10 upgrade is free" from Microsoft fanboys. Not everyone is using Windows. And a lot of people are still using older versions like Windows XP.

    From http://www.microsoftstore.com/...

    Get Windows 10
    Free upgrade available only to qualified devices currently running Windows 7, 8, or 8.1.*
    For system builders or Mac users, buy the full version of Windows 10.

    CAD$149.00 (Download or USB)

    I don't call that free at all, so fuck off.

  5. Oups on Microsoft Releases Windows 10 IoT Core For Small, Embedded Devices · · Score: -1

    This release of Windows 10 IoT Core requires a development machine running the 7/29/2015 release of Windows 10 (Build 10240) and Visual Studio 2015.

    So in typical Microsoft fashion, it's free but basically "fuck you if you use Linux or OS X".

  6. Re:Will Cubans use Bitcoin? No. on Cuba Uses Big Data To Help Tourism, But Their Networks Lack Capacity · · Score: 1

    Lie. Bitcoin has transaction fees, and many informal studies done (when done by non-Bitcoiners) show it can't compete with the evil Western Union, never mind a normal credit card for day to day transactions. The case studies where the work is shown, and you can check the numbers yourself. The kind you never see Bitcoiners producing when trying to prove their case.

    Holy hell, you've never used Western Union in your life or you would know they're the biggest rip-off on the whole planet, their fees are extreme.

    Apple has a "flashlight" mode/icon right on the... bottom-up-swipe-thingy page. Not sure what to call it.

  13. Re:A huge risk, that's paying off well on Tesla Suffering Cash Flow Issues; Every Model S Means a $4,000 Loss · · Score: 1

    What could possible go wrong? Besides a cheesy sci-fi flick, that is.

    I know, right? I'm sure The Asylum is already busy making one after reading your comment.

  14. Amateurs on HTC Doesn't Protect Fingerprint Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    The most egregious offender is the HTC One Max, which stores the fingerprint comparison image as a simple .BMP file in a folder that's open to access.

    What a bunch of amateurs. Everyone who's learned a thing or two about graphic file formats knows that PNG is much superior.

    Real offline backups are of course the only way to be really sure.

    But only if they're nuked from orbit.

    Atheists, by their very nature, are unlikely to partake in holy wars.

    Until it's too late and we have no choice but to eliminate anyone who's religious, otherwise the human race will vanish from the Universe.

    the only wronged party I can think of is Google who had to go through the pain of a pointless DMCA request.

    I think you're confusing Vimeo and YouTube.

    Well, unless you're reading Slashdot on a Vectrex, you're looking at pixels.
