  1. Re:If PHP was a horse in the prog language race on PHP Next Generation · · Score: 2
  2. Re:Git? on Linus Torvalds Receives IEEE Computer Pioneer Award · · Score: 2

    Besides Git we have Mercurial and Bazaar. All born around the same time so solve the same problem.

  3. Re:No jurisdiction on American Judge Claims Jurisdiction Over Data Stored In Other Countries · · Score: 1

    Except that the Microsoft servers in Ireland are owned by a different legal entity, Microsoft Ireland (or something), and not the US Microsoft.
    It works for taxes... so it must work for other government thingies, right?

  4. Re:eight hours isn't very long on First Glow-In-the-Dark Road Debuts In Netherlands · · Score: 2

    Won't the lights of the cars passing by charge the lines a bit and thus extend the duration?

  5. Don't trust any single entity with your future on Why No One Trusts Facebook To Power the Future · · Score: 1

    especially not entities who's focus is profit

  6. Nice job obfuscating the key on AWS Urges Devs To Scrub Secret Keys From GitHub · · Score: 0

    When posting screenshots containing secret keys, just remove a large part of it. Don't use blur or swirl like filters, these can be reversed quite well.

    The blurred key posted by itnews is pretty much reversible with the naked eye.

  7. Re:Betteridge's Law in effect... (Answer = No) on In the Unverified Digital World, Are Journalists and Bloggers Equal? · · Score: 2

    It's more rule than exception that the quality of the professional is on the same level of the amateur. Both in "journalism" and "software development".

  8. Re:Privacy nutjobs take note on Facebook's Face Identification Project Is Accurate 97.25% of the Time · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't have a facebook account. So how I can disable the option of my face being recognized and tagged by facebook in pictures uploaded by others?

  9. Briefcase!? on Transformer-Style Scooter Lets You Ride Your Briefcase To Work · · Score: 2

    Really... it's 2014. A Briefcase?!

  10. The new manager will be less of an idiot on Lies Programmers Tell Themselves · · Score: 3, Funny

    n/a

  11. Obviously on Confirmed: Earth's Oldest Rock In Australia · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The old stuff is always at the bottom of a pile.

  12. No on Can Wolfram Alpha Tell Which Team Will Win the Super Bowl? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Of course not. This is just as stupid as asking if you could calculate somebody's phone number.

  13. Image/text only ads on Yahoo Advertising Serves Up Malware For Thousands · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This wouldn't be an issue if they could only serve image or text only ads. Possible image based exploits can easily be prevented by re-saving the uploaded image so that the image only contains valid content.

    But no, ad farms want to provide functionality to reach maximum annoyance for the users. You can blame Java all you want, but it's not the source of this problem.

  14. Wasted effort? on Bill Nye To Debate Creationist Museum Founder Ken Ham · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If creationist were open for debate, then they wouldn't be creationist and believe what was written by somebody hundreds of years ago without accepting any revisions.

  15. The manual on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Books Everyone Should Read? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just for once, read the f'ing manual.

  16. Re:Bully! on A Year With Google Glass · · Score: 1

    People stop by and cyber-bully me at my standing treadmill desk.

    If people walk by, physically, in real world, his desk... they send him not so nice instant messages? Can't they cyber-bully him from behind their own standing treadmill desk? You know, outside of his FOV.

  17. Re:Context? on Justine Sacco, Internet Justice, and the Dangers of a Righteous Mob · · Score: 1

    Yes, and this case is a clear example of it. That's why IAC fired her over this incident.

  18. Re:Context? on Justine Sacco, Internet Justice, and the Dangers of a Righteous Mob · · Score: 5, Informative

    Justine Sacco was a PR executive at IAC. IAC being the owner of sites like Ask.com, About, Vimeo, OkCupid, match.com, etc.

    A PR exec should know that you should not say these things on a global soapbox like twitter.

  19. Internet filter does not work, news at 11 on UK ISP Adult Filters Block Sex Education Websites Allows Access To Porn · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can't say I'm surprised by this.

  20. Re:Good on GitHub Takes Down Satirical 'C Plus Equality' Language · · Score: 1

    If GitHub is not a place of political activism, then explain all the Ruby projects hosted on GitHub.

  21. Re:What about memory use? on Firefox 26 Arrives With Click-To-Play For Java Plugins · · Score: 1

    Except maybe for Links/Lynx, what browser uses that little amount of memory. Firefox has been doing quite well in the more recent versions, it uses less memory than MSIE and Chrome. (No idea about the others).
    Most sites are simply becoming annoying resource hogs with memory leaking javascript all over the place. Gmail has gone to almost unusable on my netbook within 2 years. Even Eclipse performs better than Gmail.

  22. Re:WTF? on Open Source 'Wasn't Available' Two Years Ago, Says UK Gov't IT Project Chief · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not really. You're forgetting the additional support and customization costs which are not covered by the standard contract. And the yearly upgrade/renewal costs.

  23. Re:Pay no attention to the man behind the Back Doo on Microsoft Warns Customers Away From RC4 and SHA-1 · · Score: 1

    Why does the NSA want to know my secrets if they are not going to use it?

  24. Alternate host? on GIMP, Citing Ad Policies, Moves to FTP Rather Than SourceForge Downloads · · Score: 4, Interesting

    sf.net was the only project host which still offered release downloads. Not every project can afford a deviated download solutions for all their releases.
    Now that sf.net has been compromised, what alternative are there?

    It's quite ridiculous considering that the sf.net download mirrors are sponsored.

  25. Oblig Simpsons referenc on Scientists Says Jellyfish Are Taking Over the Oceans · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our Jellyfish overlords.
