  1. Re:Understanding on Virtual Zuck Fails To Connect (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    actually, this tech leader (whom I don't like for a number of reasons) is doing something to help other people. In fact, he's done more than you have ever done to help other people. I think it's fair to say you just want to bitch about someone famous

  2. Re:See, it's a hoax/ on 'Sooty Birds' Reveal Hidden US Air Pollution (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    uh, you're claiming in 1917 there weren't telephone poles and power lines.....?????

  3. Re:*BSDs are rendering Linux irrelevant. on OpenBSD 6.2 Released (openbsd.org) · · Score: 1

    you might have a router, switch or printer running BSD, or today rode an elevator with BSD controller....more of it out there than most people know

  4. Re:Visual Studio, not Visual Basic on Microsoft Develops New Programming Language For Quantum Computers (cio-today.com) · · Score: 2

    that's the least of my concerns. There are no true universal gate quantum computers, having a language for a thing that doesn't exist is silly. it's even open question whether a useful problem could even be expresseed on the real thing anyway, a UGQC might turn out to be mostly useless as tits on a bull.

  5. Re:Why Not Contrifugal Force?? on Astronaut Scott Kelly Describes One Year In Space -- And Its After Effects (brisbanetimes.com.au) · · Score: 1

    not true, solution is easy, solved decades ago. You have giant hollow ring and spin it. NASA knows this too. It's a money problem.

  6. Re:For those of us that don't know on Linux Now Has its First Open Source RISC-V Processor (designnews.com) · · Score: 1

    actually there really aren't CISC chips any more, the current x86_64 for example really only emulates that instruction set with RISC and microcode

  7. Re:Taking about the weather on 100K Lose Power As America Faces Its Third Hurricane In Three Weeks (go.com) · · Score: 0

    my point is very relevant, this hurricane and its effects on power not newsworthy at all; commonplace, boring even for normal news site and not worthy of tech site

  8. Re:Taking about the weather on 100K Lose Power As America Faces Its Third Hurricane In Three Weeks (go.com) · · Score: 1

    irrelevant to discussion. being ruled by stupid people causes such a situation, maybe no hope for many of those places

  9. this hurricane & 100K losing power not newswor on 100K Lose Power As America Faces Its Third Hurricane In Three Weeks (go.com) · · Score: 0

    storms around cities in the north have left over 100,000 without power too. this is not even interesting as normal news on a news site, why is it on slashdot. boring. trivial. of no import

  10. Re:Taking about the weather on 100K Lose Power As America Faces Its Third Hurricane In Three Weeks (go.com) · · Score: 0

    but that's nothing. here in chicago area a storm in 2015 knocked out power to 113,000 customers. whoop de fucking do

  11. Re:Misconception on New Video Peeks 'Inside the Head' of Perl Creator Larry Wall (infoq.com) · · Score: 1

    forget perl 6, almost no one is using it. Larry had his chance and blew it by doing a 4 year project in 17 years.

    perl 6 is going into the tar pit of history

  12. Re:It's time to consider god's plan on 100K Lose Power As America Faces Its Third Hurricane In Three Weeks (go.com) · · Score: 0

    by your logic, God must really really hate those people with african ancestry in the islands. if it ain't white, God will smite?

  13. Re:Humans can do it with only vision on GM Exec Says Elon Musk's Self-Driving Car Claims Are 'Full of Crap' (smh.com.au) · · Score: 2

    James Fawcette published that quote of Bill Gate in the April 29, 1985 issue of InfoWorld, though Bill Gates later denies ever having said that. However, a person is not stupid if they believed that reference.

  14. Re:Humans can do it with only vision on GM Exec Says Elon Musk's Self-Driving Car Claims Are 'Full of Crap' (smh.com.au) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    you're funny, the list of things computers can't do with any amount of sensors, that humans can, is quite long

  15. Re: GPS Spoofing on Russia Suspected In GPS-Spoofing Attacks On Ships (wired.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    maybe they aren't islands, the GPS spoofing just makes them seem to sit still

  16. Re:Wow, the first quantum computer on Browsers Will Store Credit Card Details Similar To How They Save Passwords (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    state of the art isn't what's in common use though, rsa and elliptic curve crypto use primes and sem-primes

    AES doesn't

  17. you misunderstand, this application requires the Giant Hosts File; your puny little config file is to that as a dart is to an ICBM

  18. the neurotic need to add to the hosts file, to futilely seek the unobtainable comprehensiveness, has been shown to be even more addicting and mentally crippling than smart phone use.

  19. Re:Not very good predictions on Ask Slashdot: Which Businesses Will Go Away In the Next 10 Years? (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    the prediction was about record stores, which are still going away. that vinyl buying is mostly done in other places.

    you're wrong, of course as is your score of only 20%. The vinyl records for example will be for a niche market. so will film for cameras and newspapers. you're comparing gnat farts to a hurricane for most of those

    plenty of NRA people are pro-environment.

    By the way, which is more harmful to the environment, the person getting their meat from supermarket or the card holding NRA guy who gets his meat hunting?

    wrong, I'm over 50 years old and know after decades that nothing will be done for "fixing taste". what a fantasyland you have between your ears. What exaclty do you imagine could be done for "fixing taste" that wouldn't cost tens of millions of dollars a town won't have?
