  1. Popups on Google Wants Online Ad Improvement Within Months, Not Years (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What grinds my gears, are these fucking pop up ads that appear on every fucking news article I click. Who is the retard that thinks that shoving a huge fucking modal html window over top the fucking article im currently trying to read is going to make me stop reading and focus on their shitty ad? Stop this fucking bull shit right fucking now. Put it at the top or on the side, and I'll probably see it eventually. But pop this in my face, and piss me off and theres no way I'm even considering buying your product, even if I'd actually want it.

    To be fair, I didnt pay attention to any of the class, and just did my thing the whole time.

  8. Re:It's been going on for years on UK Computing Teachers Concerned That Pupils Know More Than Them · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ya, me too. I had an assignment where I used arrays in solving the problem. I guess the class didnt cover arrays yet, and so I failed the assignment. The teacher has one solution that she was expecting to see, and when it wasnt that, I failed. So, I was somehow supposed to guess what they wanted to see for a solution in that class based on what was taught to that point. Granted, I wasnt really following the "lectures" at all. I'm pretty sure the teacher was basically 1 week ahead of the students, learning it herself.

  9. Homeseer on Ask Slashdot: Options For Cheap Home Automation? · · Score: 1

    I'm using homeseer software. Its pretty good, and they have a program called hstouch that I run on the tablets that I customized for each room. I think it was like $300 for the pro version which included hstouch. Then, I'm using zwave wireless protocol for all my lighting modules, hvac, security, blind control, etc. I found zwave to be an extremely reliable protocol. Stay away from X10.

  10. Uh, no on White House Touts Obama's 1-Liner as 2014 Tech Highlight · · Score: 0

    Uh, no he didnt write a line of code. The line he wrote was:
    moveForward(100);
    and I'm sure someone told him what the function was called to move forward. Thats not really writing a line of code.

  11. Why? on TrueCrypt Website Says To Switch To BitLocker · · Score: 1

    I didnt see anyone ask this yet. They say it is unsecure and to download an alternative. But why is it unsecure? Do they explain anywhere why they think it is unsecure?

    What kind of idiot orders presents on dec 23 and thinks for sure it will get there? I go by dec 17 at the latest. I mean, every year UPS gets a backlog at this time, so a delay should be expected.

  17. Mixed on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 1

    I do like the design, the top menu, and the styling. But as others have mentioned, the width doesn't scale to my full HD screen which wastes tons of space. For this type of website, that's isn't good especially when viewing the comments. So that being said, just leave it the way it is, or just update the styling to look better than the current ancient looking crappy styling.

  18. startmail? on Silent Circle Follows Lavabit By Closing Encrypted E-mail Service · · Score: 1

    I don't know a lot about it, but the owner of startpage is forming startmail for private mail...probably similar to these guys. I wonder if startmail is going to face the same problem? From what I understand, the government basically comes in an puts a rack server in your rack, and the server basically listens to all the traffic, and send it back. Totally unconstitutional, and you cant deny them to do this. That's why lavabit just said no and turned their service off.

  19. Re:Concrete reality on Encrypted Email Provider Lavabit Shuts Down, Blames US Gov't · · Score: 1

    I heard the woman who runs startpage is forming startmail, a secure private email site. I might check it out when its up.

    Private property, yes. But the TSA are government employees. So, they are bound by the constitution, specifically the 4th amendment. Right?

  22. Outrageous on TSA Orders Searches of Valet Parked Car At Airport · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This country is out of control. We have no more 4th amendment. Pretty soon the TSA will be expanding their highway searches from commercial trucks to every passenger car. Your freedom is gone. That being said, I would never trust my car to a valet. I park it myself. You are just asking for trouble otherwise.

    Whats with this attitude on this article? I overclocked my 3ghz i7950 to 4.2ghz with a better cooler and a couple nights of testing. Now 2 and a half years later, the machine still performs very well. And I do a lot of development, video editing, and audio recording. I have not once had a overtemp, blue screen, crash, freeze, nothing.

  25. Re:Semi agree on Australian Police Move To Make 3D Printed Guns Illegal · · Score: 1

    Why does the world need less guns? How does more good guys having guns not dissuade bad guys from committing crimes? How do laws stop the criminals from printing them? Why should anyone be denied their right to defend themselves?
