  1. Re:I've seen things at least that strange on Computer Scientists Believe a Trump Server Was Communicating With a Russian Bank (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    McMullin, the name just reaks of the motherland!

  2. Shocking! on Sony Leaks Reveal Hollywood Is Trying To Break DNS · · Score: 1

    It's shocking that an organization like the MPAA is afflicted with such hubris that they would consider such underhanded tactics. In other news, the sky is blue.

  3. Stop reading slashdot for security. on Ask Slashdot: Security Digests For the Home Network Admin? · · Score: 1

    Slashdot was created to tell the world about the fabulous world of super efficient solar cells that never make it to market, not security silly bunny.

  4. Re:Ease up on the hyperbole please. on Space Shuttle Collides With Bridge In New York · · Score: 1

    I don't mind the hyperbole, it's the bathos I fear!

  5. Please let firefly die finally, on Star Trek Luminaries Behind the Fastest Funded Film Project On Kickstarter · · Score: 2

    It's like watching a poor soul on life support begging to be let go. Slashdotters, do the right thing, pull the plug and move on with your lives. Sticking to the topic though, I'm very interested in seeing this movie.

  6. Which scientist can pee farther. on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Most Dangerous Lines of Scientific Inquiry? · · Score: 1

    I've seen these lines of inquiry turn violent!

  7. Re:Anyone want to translate this into dummy speak? on Major OpenSSL Security Issue Found (and Fixed) · · Score: 1

    hehe, I have trouble looking at the changelogs let alone the code :). I guess ignorance is bliss, I was thinking openssl was a nice simple protocol that made everything 100% secure. It's nice living in my bubble where nothing can harm me! :). P.S. I always thought the arc of the Covenant was in AtheOs. :P

  8. Anyone want to translate this into dummy speak? on Major OpenSSL Security Issue Found (and Fixed) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is this a remote exploit? Does this mean my client can be overrun if a server throws me a bad packet or two? I guess my other question is, how can the most utilized utility on a system still have unchecked overflows? It has to have been audited about a trillion times? Please help, half assed linux admins want to know!

  9. Was there a beta sound in place for those years? on Audi Gives Silent Electric Car Synthetic Sound · · Score: 0

    Like a speaker saying "Heeeeeeeeeeeeey Watch Your ASS!!!" repeating until you shut the car down.

  10. That's like asking if the earth should have air .. on Should There Be a Sci-Fi Category At the Oscars? · · Score: 0

    and water. The question is is implicitly answered and thus moot ... next!

  11. Am I the first to call BS? on How Companies Learn Your Secrets · · Score: -1

    Sounds like a typical holywood movie premis.

  12. You might want to check this article out: on How Allan Scherr Hacked Around the First Computer Password · · Score: 1
  13. How about a JS backend? on Ask Slashdot: Which Web Platform Would You Use? · · Score: 1

    Something like node.js, narwhal with wsgi or ringo.js? On a really basic level, coding the front and backend in the same language has really saved my little brain quite a bit of frustration, especially when I'm using plus's to concatinate in php and dots in javascript. I work with node and know that a properly architected event driven server can be wicked fast (not just fast, but WICKED FAST!). There is quite a bit of middle ware available and why not work with mongodb in the backend to create a perfect trifecta of javascript? node is really simple to setup and test with apache bench (ab), narwhal and ringo took a bit longer for me (I was trying to run them in google apps engine though). Curious what you end up going with.

  14. Lets not get hung up on one word. on Gitbrew Releases OtherOS++ PS3 Linux Dual Boot · · Score: 2

    If the word "supercomputer" wasn't there, the article wouldn't be modded up. The point of the post is otherOS++. It's great to get the capability to run linux again AND be able to go online, frag some friends and get all your personal information stolen. Supercomputer, probably not, super cool hack, for sure!

  15. Re:Boosted the efficiency of LOUSY solar cells on 80% Improvement In Solar Cell Efficiency · · Score: 1

    Or at least the slashdot crowd would be intelligent enough to not mod them up ... hehe, I used "slashdot crowd" and "intelligent" in the same sentence.

  16. Do you get paid for that hour? on The Importance of Lunch · · Score: 1

    Lunch is a break, time to get away from the hustle and bustle of work. When at work, you get 100% of me during work hours, the rest is legally mine (at least in my mind :)).

  17. Successful attempt to be slashdotted. on Why Mac OS X Is Unsuitable For Web Development · · Score: 1

    I can't believe this guy is so naive he can't get his free laptop dialed in d00d! Throwing in the emacs quip can only be classified as troll bait. Speaking of troll bait, is it me, or does that guy need a serious de-lousing?

  18. Re:Uptime on Why You Shouldn't Reboot Unix Servers · · Score: 3, Funny

    I bet any slashdotter that he still has a 3 legged table! :).

  19. Scotty, stop trying to be relevant. on Ex-Sun CEO Warns Oracle of Death By Open Source · · Score: 1

    You came, you conquered, landscapes changed, you got conquered and then you and your company tried anything to stay afloat. Personal opinion, but if Sun open sourced Solaris and the Java family when they could compete with the current forerunners, I doubt oracle would p-0wn you guys.

  20. how about openGL? on NVIDIA Announces New Line of Fermi-Based Mobile Chips · · Score: 1

    Will these be openGL 4.0 spec'd also?

  21. Check the thermometer on NVIDIA Announces New Line of Fermi-Based Mobile Chips · · Score: 1

    99% of laptops do not have a cooling solution robust enough to handle a dual core CPU and a proper graphics card going full throttle. I point a fan at my laptop whenever I have to do anything intensive so that it won't throttle back or just shut down.

    Maybe the "apartment" in your mom's basement might be too warm to surf n0rp "full throttle"?

  22. Thanks Larry on Perl 6, Early, With Rakudo Star · · Score: 1

    My unborn grandson's grandson will look forward to a pre-alpha version of perl6.

  23. Re:food on Potato-Powered Batteries Debut · · Score: 1

    NEWSFLASH - not everyone in developing nation is starving and short of food. For some, an alternative power source such as this is appropriate.

    I'm sure they will be at least pretty hungry after mining the non-renewable metals required to actually generate the power. The potato is a red herring here. Am I the only one who had a "two potato clock" stinking up his room as a kid? On the plus side, at least people will be able to eat by a romantic LED light.

  24. Wrong title. on Android Rootkit Is Just a Phone Call Away · · Score: 3, Funny

    Should read: Android rootkit is just a fud call away.

  25. Re:Dangerous on How To Turn a Mini Maglite Into a Laser · · Score: 1

    I would argue that anyone who attempts to make this, without first researching the subject would be the irresponsible ones. Besides, the lesson taught by shooting your eye out with this official red ryder laser cannon would last a lifetime :)
