  1. So they should be able to do this without effecting quality due to better compression algorithms being available now, but what problem is this trying to address? Other then keeping that one intern they don't like locked in a small room running HandBreak 24/7.

  2. Not ill timed... on GunTV Aims To Premier 24-Hour Shopping Channel For Firearms · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Every time there is a mass-shooting or similar, gun sales go up because the marketing department of the gun manufacturing lobby (NRA) goes into full swing about how the gubement is gona take yer guns. So this is perfectly timed to capitalize on the latest shooting.

  3. Re:Yes! on Will You Be Able To Run a Modern Desktop Environment In 2016 Without Systemd? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Lets see... POSIX compliant, bash shell, GNU tools, X Window.... what exactly is OS X missing?

  4. Re:MySQL, postgres, SqlServer, or Oracle? on Donald Trump Obliquely Backs a Federal Database To Track Muslims · · Score: 1

    Based on the experience IBM has counting people for... other groups. I'll go with Lotus Domino / DB2.

  5. I thought we all knew those things where BS... on Leaked Documents Confirm Polygraph Operators Can't Detect Countermeasures (antipolygraph.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Really, there is zero scientific processes behind "lie detectors". They are intended as an intimidation tool to coerce a confession, nothing more. There's a reason they are not admissible as evidence.

  6. So they want sub-par employees. on Reddit CEO Ellen Pao Bans Salary Negotiations To Equalize Pay For Men, Women · · Score: 1

    "we aren’t going to reward people who are better negotiators with more compensation"
    Then you will find that the quality of candidate you get meets your low expectations.

  7. Re:Not a bank? on PayPal To Pay $7.7 Million For Sanctions Violations · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They are "not a bank" in the same way Uber is "not a taxi service". It's all down to avoiding regulations.

  8. Re:Not currently. on Is the Apple Watch a Useful Medical Device? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Should'a said "doesn't run third party apps natively".

  9. Not currently. on Is the Apple Watch a Useful Medical Device? (Video) · · Score: 0

    Current iteration as far as I am aware does not run apps natively, it is just a front end for your phone. In a generation or two of the API (hardware does not need to be updated) this will be addressed and we'll see.

  10. Eat less, move more. on Hacking Weight Loss: What I Learned Losing 30 Pounds · · Score: 1

    That's it really...

  11. Obligatory.... on Google: Our New System For Recognizing Faces Is the Best · · Score: 2

    Yup, that's a face. I'd recognize one of those things anywhere.

  12. Or we just stop buying Cisco. on To Avoid NSA Interception, Cisco Will Ship To Decoy Addresses · · Score: 1

    Really... when was the last time any of us thought Cisco was the best choice for a project?

  13. I disagree! on Scientists Slow the Speed of Light · · Score: 4, Funny

    Clearly they didn't slow the speed of light, but sped up time. The speed of light is a constant, the flow of time is not.

  14. Luggable? on Ask Slashdot: High-Performance Laptop That Doesn't Overheat? · · Score: 2

    Sounds like you may want a luggable PC rather then a laptop, unless battery operation is mandatory.

  15. Re:May want a disclaimer here... on Putting a MacBook Pro In the Oven To Fix It · · Score: 1

    Aside from the fact that it's a pretty shitty design that the solder connections fail this way...

    Remember the old Apple III computers you had to drop from about three feet to get the chips to reseat? Yea.... this is nothing new.

  16. May want a disclaimer here... on Putting a MacBook Pro In the Oven To Fix It · · Score: 5, Informative

    I dont think telling people you can fix a mac book by baking it will end well. So perhaps a disclaimer saying NOT to do this would be in order?

  17. Cuban girls gone wild? on Cuba Says the Internet Now a Priority · · Score: 4, Funny

    This would be a good test of the time delta between a country getting internet access and the time when they start to produce internet porn.

  18. Well yea, they get to use electricity. on In North Korea, Hackers Are a Handpicked, Pampered Elite · · Score: 2

    Only the elite get food, water and power much less internet access.

  19. Ok... just turned two score, but... on The Students Who Feel They Have the Right To Cheat · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just hit my two score birthday, so perhaps its the age talking, but MAN are kids today idiots.

  20. Favoritism! on Android Co-Founder Andy Rubin Leaving Google · · Score: 2

    How come when I update my monster.com profile it's not news?

  21. Re:Stop developing 64bit on OEM Windows 7 License Sales End This Friday · · Score: 1

    I run virtual machines, large development systems, etc. This likes to have more then 3.5GB of memory to allocate. Thus 64bit.

  22. Re:Time to "stock up" from NewEgg ... on OEM Windows 7 License Sales End This Friday · · Score: 4, Funny

    So you're going to buy a bunch of copies at 140$ each? Yea... that'll show em.

  23. Re:Ooh..."unease" on Creationism Conference at Michigan State University Stirs Unease · · Score: 1

    Well yea... if the guy dressed as an orc at comicon really believed he WAS an orc, that would be cause for concern if he was running around with a sword.

  24. Re:Automation and jobs on Automation Coming To Restaurants, But Not Because of Minimum Wage Hikes · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The goal of any significantly advanced civilization should be 100% unemployment and automation.

  25. Just keep it off the servers.... on The Classic Control Panel In Windows May Be Gone · · Score: 5, Informative

    Had to maintain a Windows 2012 Server system last weekend.... dealing with the Windows 8 configuration interface on a server makes me very angry.
