  1. Re:Seriously? Android Bounty? Android Twix? on Android 4.4 Named 'KitKat' · · Score: 1

    Most key lime pies I've had do not have the meringue. LMP filling is lemon curd (lemon juice, egg yolks, butter, starch, sugar) whereas KLP filling is key lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks. They're really quite different. So, different fruit, different taste, different mouth feel, different pie.

  2. Re:Work Hard? on How Gen Y Should Talk To Old People At Work · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself. I tell my kids how much drugs I did and how much ass I got. I encourage them they can get as fucked up (literally and figuratively) as they want as long as they invite me along. They're fucking squares, man. Maybe I can adopt kids that like to party.

    Unless you're an NSA whistleblower, in which case you are fired and prosecuted.

    Previous NSA whistleblowers (Thomas Drake, et alia) have stated that the NSA investigated SC justices before they were confirmed.

  12. Wrong approach on Transportation Designs For a Future That Never Came · · Score: 5, Funny

    We don't need boondoggles and fanciful transportation methods that don't pan out. All we need is: the power of our mind.

    Close your eyes. Pretend you're surrounded by pretentious rich assholes. Bingo, you're in LA. Total cost: $0. Total time: 15 seconds.

    Ok, now close your eyes. Pretend you're surrounded by hipsters and leather deviants. Bang. San Francisco. Ding Ding, you can even hear the trolley and smell the homeless guy peeing.

    Yeah, and the funeral director tells me how sorry he is.

  14. Fool me once.... on Google To Encrypt Cloud Storage Data By Default · · Score: 5, Informative

    Given what we know about the NSA, NSLs, and Lavabits, " [we do] not provide encryption keys to any government" is a worthless statement. With an NSL, Google will turn over everything and won't be able to say anything about it. With an NSL, Google will be required to lie (like claiming data is encrypted when it's not). Lavabits received an NSL and chose to shut down rather than honor it and sell out their customers. Google compiles with their NSLs.

    You cannot trust Google or the cloud with your data.

    . . . it would essentially follow major highways, such as I-75 in California.

    Let the record show that TFA correctly states "I-5". Somebody in Michigan needs to watch his typos.

    You can't stick it up their arse -- they don't have a storage slot.

  17. Re:they need to backport it to ios 6 on iPhone Hacked In Under 60 Seconds Using Malicious Charger · · Score: 1

    They went overboard on the flat effect. Have you seen the icons? It looks like a south park construction paper iPhone.

    With the changes in UIControls, apps that aren't upgraded look like a bag of ass. Or are non-functional (the navigation bar is now larger and covers the view underneath by default).

  18. they need to backport it to ios 6 on iPhone Hacked In Under 60 Seconds Using Malicious Charger · · Score: 0

    Some people are jizzing their pants over iOS 7 but I think a lot of us will refuse to "upgrade".

    Github. They recently (re-)added downloads as "releases" -- they're tied to a specific git tag, which is a pretty good approach.

    Simple: I anonymously post a message on slashdot about "hypothetically" selling a working exploit for a million dollars. Two hours later, the NSA shows up with a bag of cash.

    You can write your entire application in java and use GWT to convert to javascript for the browser. You can write your entire application in anything that supports llvm (c,c++, objective c, brainfuck, haskel, etc) and use emscripten to convert it to javascript for the browser. You can write your entire application in Dart and convert to javascript for the browser.

    There's also java in the browser and .net in the browser.

  24. Re: I think..Typescript is the answer on Ask Slashdot: Node.js vs. JEE/C/C++/.NET In the Enterprise? · · Score: 1
    Coffeescript is the worst parts of python combined with the worst parts of ruby. (IMO :-)

    Typescript is a superset of javascript (legal javascript is legal typescript) with additions like static typing and some ECMAScript 6 support (classes, modules).

    If you're allergic to ;{} characters, stick to coffeescript. If you like ruby or python, stick to coffeescript. If you like c-style (C/C++/C#/Java/Javascript) languages, use Javascript, TypeScript, or Dart.
