  1. hypothesis, not theory! on Bizarre 'Dark Fluid' With Negative Mass Could Dominate the Universe (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    How many times does this have to be repeated?

  2. Cemu will run it just fine, if you have a decently powered PC.

  3. Not if the can patch the metal layer.

  4. this article is bullshit on America's Doctors Are Performing Expensive Procedures That Don't Work (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    Neither this article nor the vox article made clear that this was regarding stents inserted for pain relief, not stent used for heart attack patients.

    While the fact that stents are being used for pain relief which is unsupported by science is horrible, reporting that doesn't clearly state that stents for heart attack patients are effective and supported by science is highly irresponsible.

  5. And we are supposed to respect the opinion of an anonymous coward? I think not.

  6. Re:most can't read on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Read Code? · · Score: 1

    That was interesting, but your various typos were hilarious in context.

  7. Re:Wrong! on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Read Code? · · Score: 1

    When I am reading a good novel, I basically have a movie playing in my head and am almost unaware off the words I'm reading.

  8. Re:Register variables on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Read Code? · · Score: 1

    I kind of miss the simplicity of 650x programming. Maybe I'll write a game for my moldering Atari 800 for laughs.

  9. Re:I don't. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Read Code? · · Score: 1

    He said he got out of programming.

  10. Re:WTF Are you Serious? on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Read Code? · · Score: 1

    Exactly so. I also have little bits of mental metainfo floating about that eventually conceals into a complete mental picture of the functioning of the code.

  11. Re:One line st a time... on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Read Code? · · Score: 1

    More times than I care to admit.

  12. Re:What Lowes really means. on Lowe's To Lay Off About 125 Workers, Move Jobs To India (go.com) · · Score: 1

    So very true. You would think the number of horror stories of companies pulling this shit would serve as a deterrent, but it seems there is always another sucker thinking that India is a good investment.

  13. Re: permissions on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Stop The Deployment Of Unapproved Code Changes? · · Score: 1

    Lock the fucker out of the system. No one should have permission to do what he is doing.

  14. Re: This is precisely why I won't allow on Police Request Amazon Echo Recordings For Homicide Investigation (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    And I believe the code is out there - for the Raspberry anyhow.

  15. Re: Amazon - Overly broad? on Police Request Amazon Echo Recordings For Homicide Investigation (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It's the thinking that the device would be storing anything useful that is idiotic. It has no real storage for anything like that, and more importantly no conceivable reason to do so.

  16. Re: Never saw this coming on Police Request Amazon Echo Recordings For Homicide Investigation (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Where the he'll did you come up with that? Manufacturers including special hardware for one application? What have you been smoking?

    No hardware maker is going to include special hardware for such a questionable purpose since It increases bom, and unless it's absolutely necessary they'll prefer to do it in software.

    But back to your claim... Have you looked at the chip specs for any of the popular Android chipsets? Found any sign of such capability? Looked at the Android hardware requirements? Seen any such hardware mentioned? Looked at AOSP source? Any sign of that there?

    Well don't bother, it only exists in your fevered imagination.

  17. Re: Never saw this coming on Police Request Amazon Echo Recordings For Homicide Investigation (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I carry out all my nefarious activities using a virtual machine via PIA VPN. I reccon I'm pretty safe.

  18. The odds of anything being left on the home device is exactly zero...

  19. Re: Bugs on Police Request Amazon Echo Recordings For Homicide Investigation (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    I worked for Nuance, and they kept *all* post keyword phrases on their server. At least on the project I was working on. Whether they do this with their smart phone apps I really don't know. And whether Amazon does the same I really can't say, unless Amazon it's actually using Nuance...

  20. or it's environmental... on A Medical Mystery of the Best Kind: Major Diseases Are In Decline (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    With all the uncontrolled pollution caused during the industrial revolution, it's not surprising that certain diseases are reducing in prevalence along with reductions in environmental pollution.

  21. Plex baybee! + Roku, etc. on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Preferred Media Streaming Device? · · Score: 1

    I've been running Plex on a Synology DS1812+ for some years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. I use my various Android devices, PCs, Roku boxes (various models) and a Chromecast to watch my shows, and I just ordered a Fire tv box which I expect to arrive tomorrow. Can't say as I have a preference at the moment - we'll see how the Fire stands up against the Rokus. The Chromecast worked well for me on my last trip, but I don't expect it to see much use outside of that.

  22. I thought this seemed familiar on Shockwave Images Help NASA In Development of 'Quiet' Supersonic Jet (go.com) · · Score: 1
  23. Re:Plex on Roku on Boxee Sold To Samsung · · Score: 1

    I have my Rokus pretty well pimped out - Plex, PlayOn, tons of channels, and a wireless router configured to allow VPN access to virtually any country so I can watch region blocked vids when I want. Plus I'm learning how to write channels for Plex in Python, which is pretty cool. Maybe ActionScript is next, or maybe I'll improve my LUA skills for writing Playon channels (and World of Warcraft add-ons).

    Cord cutting and skills honing, a win-win situation for me!

  24. Re:Firmware? on Broadcom Releases Source Code For Drivers · · Score: 1

    yes and no.

  25. WTF on Broadcom Releases Source Code For Drivers · · Score: 1

    These are the same drivers we've been repeatedly told are a firing offense if we accidentally release them to customers?

    WTF, just WTF.
