  1. Re:Enjoy it while you can. on Open Source Router Firmware OpenWRT 15.05 Released · · Score: 1

    Please mode parent up.

  2. Re:easier patch for younger drivers on Tesla Model S Has Been Hacked · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up ! I peed my pants reading that post, congrats.

  3. Re:'armless on Two Gunman Killed Outside "Draw the Prophet" Event In Texas · · Score: 1

    Here I think it is: two harmed gunmen.

  4. Re:What guarantees of longevity? on Facebook Makes Messenger a Platform · · Score: 2

    So you use WhatsApp, Hangout & Viber, depending on who calls you (ou who you wanna call). Chat is awful compared to mail. Almost no interoperability, no easy way to own your data.

  5. Re:What kind of person did they study? on MRIs Show Our Brains Shutting Down When We See Security Prompts · · Score: 2

    There's one answer: CyanogenMod.

  6. Logitech G710+ on Ask Slashdot: Good Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    I've got this gamer keyboard although I'm no gamer, and I like it pretty much. It's mechanical (Cherry MX) but noiseless (rubber O-rings), backlit, with multimedia keys. The only drawback is the strange inverted decoration on some keys, but as I don't look to much at my fingers when typing it's OK for me.

  7. Re:No on Was Linus Torvalds Right About C++ Being So Wrong? · · Score: 1

    Yes and no. I didn't RTFA but I enjoy the "debate" here on /.

  8. Re:Psssssssst! on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 1

    Yes right, this thread is a garbage collection.

  9. Re: So? on Nim Programming Language Gaining Traction · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Rust use refounts?

    By default no, everything is stack allocated (which is of course way faster). But you can also easily use so-called boxed types which are heap-allocated, with various ownership modes. FWIW I'm really sold to Rust's concepts, but a bit less on the implementation: effectively as soon as you do half-complex things your implementation becomes not that readable, and not that easy to code. Maybe it's because I need more experience, I still don't know.

  10. Re: Seriously? on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Prepare For the Theft of My Android Phone? · · Score: 1

    #4 doesn't work on all phones (does it on some ?) and would prevent you from upgrading your rom (so no security fixes) #10 is stupid on many points on flash-based devices, which smartphones are

  11. Re: In other news.. on Delayed Fatherhood May Be Linked To Certain Congenital and Mental Disorders · · Score: 1

    Just leave your kids to their grandparents, so you can still see them as often as you wish. Best of both worlds.

  12. LWN on Ask Slashdot: What Online News Is Worth Paying For? · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://lwn.net/ is the only news source I'm paying for.

  13. Re: Sign the petition on Australia OKs Dumping Dredge Waste In Barrier Reef · · Score: 1

    The problem I see is that fines will darken the water, and coral has a symbiotic algae that obviously needs sunlight to survive and feed its host. No light = dead coral.

  14. Re: Not Culture on France's 'Culture Tax' Could Hit YouTube and Facebook · · Score: 1

    Do you have a reference for that ? I'm genuinely interested.

  15. Re: wow, thanks Timothy on Tapping Data From Radio-Controlled Bus Stop Displays · · Score: 1

    She's in Europe. Have no fear (for her).

    mod parent up !

  17. How about Linux support ? on AMD Sale to Dell Rumored · · Score: 1

    The only thing I'm interested in, is how about the linux support ? AMD has been quite good lately, Dell has been so-so. With Dell buying AMD, I'm fearing linux support will go down.

  18. Re:Sell sell sell on Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance · · Score: 1
    People seem to follow your advice :)

    I've been watching the stock plummet since this morning. Now it's at -13%, steadily going down. http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=NOA3.DE

  19. Re:Time to switch I guess on Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance · · Score: 1

    I think I'll stay with my N900 for a while yet. It works very well for my uses, it starts getting community updates. Maybe I'll try NITDroid when it's working a bit more. Afterwards, well ... how about a GTA04 ? Or some kind of android phone if one appears to be open enough.

    You should definitely enter this contest.

    Not that practical to do on my phone. Please oh please can I have a close button on that stupid sidebar ? Thanks you.

  23. Re:BluRay? Why? on Star Wars Coming To Blu-ray In September · · Score: 1

    Go to your friend's Bluray Player and click "zoom" on the picture. It brings-up details in the movie you can't see on DVD or Upconverting DVD. (Zooming on dvd just shows a blur of MPEG2 artifacts.)

    Oh yes ! Because I like very much stopping and zooming on movies. In fact I always do that each 5mn, so I can watch details, *that* is really much more entertaining - even if my GF disagrees.

    Thanks you for proving it's bullshit.

  24. Speak their language on How Do You Prove Software Testing Saves Money? · · Score: 1

    However you prove the need for a test suite, express it on a shiny powerpoint. That way, even if the people to whom you'll show it are techs, they'll be able to pass it to their PHB and have him understand just what's needed: allocated time slots for tests.

  25. Re:Funny... on BSD Coder Denies Adding FBI Backdoor · · Score: 1

    Whereas you can be sure no one at Microsoft or Apple is coding backdoors for a TLA ?
