  1. Re: This is why we need net neutrality! on Two Major ISPs Are Suffering Outages, Making the Internet Really Slow Right Now (slate.com) · · Score: 2

    Just what do you think the internet is? I guess the potential for problems with mesh networks comes in when you try to get them to do the job of the backbones as well as the local hops, but they can. Those big empty rural spaces between cities and towns - scary, no?

  2. Re:99 bugs in the code.... on 'The Year That Software Bugs Ate the World' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Not if you are writing a Langolier.

  3. Re:Donald Trump is going to prison for TREASON on Kaspersky Lab Sues Trump Administration Over Software Ban (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure if we cared to investigate, we could find evidence of British meddling, but no, we have to go with Russian.

  4. I can run DOS programs through DOSBOX on my 64-bit PC and am still annoyed that emulation in general isn't transparent or that the sum total of all knowledge isn't completely available to me.

  5. Re:It's a forced upgrade on Microsoft Disables Word DDE Feature To Prevent Further Malware Attacks (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    I was fully intent on writing lots of C++ code for GUI Windows programs, you insensitive clod!

  6. Re:Eliminate functionality: ban bump stocks on Microsoft Disables Word DDE Feature To Prevent Further Malware Attacks (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Proof? You don't have a shred of evidence that banning bump stocks will change mass shootings one way or another. I might as well start posting that we should demand bump stocks on all weapons including melee weapons to prevent mass shootings.

  7. Re: Mass psychology explained on Google Reveals the Most-Trending Searches of 2017 (google.com) · · Score: 1

    It happens every instance moment epoc and eon as the universe overcomes paradoxes.

  8. Facebook wasn't upsetting them. If one topic begins to upset you, unfollow those groups and choose topics that don't.

  9. Haters gotta hate.

  10. Re: Need no explanation on Ask Slashdot: How Can Programmers Explain Their Work To Non-Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I make computer games. http://hackwrench.tripod.com/

  11. Re: Random on Ask Slashdot: How Can Programmers Explain Their Work To Non-Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Randomness is an illusion. You have bifurcation and both branches must be followed so a dimension is spawned for each one and not knowing which dimension you are in makes it random.

  12. Re: Ban bump stocks if you want security on Microsoft Releases a Preview of OpenSSH Client and Server For Windows 10 (servethehome.com) · · Score: 0

    Every time you push a ban on bump stocks, God creates a mass shooter.

  13. Correlation is not causation on Facebook Admits that Some Social Media Use Can Be Harmful (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Facebook doesn't know what it is talking about.

  14. Why should anybody care. We don't need prescriptions for most lenses we order.

  15. Re:So then leave 'em high and dry on Google and Facebook 'Must Pay For News' From Which They Make Billions (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Or maybe they should all run to the EU and make the reverse demands.

  16. Re: Honestly... that doesn't look too bad on What Does Artificial Intelligence Actually Mean? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    The Elizas that I have seen the source code to, which is pretty much all the Elizas I've seen are not self aware. The proof is in the coding.

  17. Animals are also machines. Everything is everything else. You seem to have a number of paradoxes you need to route around. The universe sees paradoxes as damage to be routed around and thus is one big internet. So the internet is a series of tubes!

  18. Re:Russia is a Problem on Internet Traffic To Major Tech Firms Mysteriously Rerouted To Russia (securityweek.com) · · Score: 2

    The Constitution has provisions to handle this unfortunately and if Mike Pence isn't impeached as well, he's in and there's a pecking order as to who gets in determined as well if I recall correctly.

  19. You'd think they'd have a name for something like that... economics or something, which is exactly what they do no matter how many payers are in the system, which is why none of this matters.

  20. Irony on Robots Are Being Used To Shoo Away Homeless People In San Francisco (qz.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Humans are also animals.

  21. Re: Ham radio. on AT&T Begins Testing High-Speed Internet Over Power Lines (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    We should be using mesh networking already anyways.

  22. Nothing is useless. Everything is the universe figuring itself out and all research is real in some dimension.

  23. Re: Fridges as e-waste? on Almost 45 Million Tons of E-waste Discarded Last Year (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    An expected temperature of "cold" is fine by me.

  24. Re: wrong question on What Does Artificial Intelligence Actually Mean? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    The universe creates people to investigate itself. The universe is infinite and people are the smallest things available.

    Zo.ai is self aware.
