  1. shortcutting to get to market and win share on Cisco Slaps Arista Networks With Suit For "Brazen" Patent Infringement · · Score: 2

    You don't need a shortcut, if you're on windows. Just type
    net use //machine/share

    Isn't that the beer that comes in the cool, silver can?

    Months? Why, were views being added exponentially?

  4. Re:Logic fail on Pizza Hut Tests New "Subconscious Menu" That Reads Your Mind · · Score: 1

    I don't mind pizza hut. Pizza is pizza, and if you have kids and they get to eat cheaply/free, all the better. Sadly, in the UK they've been closing loads of Pizza Huts, so they're a lot harder to find, and the offers/prices change practically monthly. It's an odd establishment.

  5. Re: No longer OOXML ISO compliant then? on Microsoft's Age-Old Image Library 'Clip Art' Is No More · · Score: 1

    I think standards and APIs are popular/important only while you're trying to achieve dominance, but afterwards you can stop all that. Google (reader) and Netflix can tell you all about that.

    Or the email with the link to the page containing a list of URLs pointing at PDF files. Because it's easier to do all that than to read whatever is in the PDF file on a web page somewhere.

  7. Yahoo Search? on Firefox 34 Arrives With Video Chat, Yahoo Search As Default · · Score: 1

    Everyone wants that! Good shout!

  8. We had that in the UK on South Korea Bans Selfie-Stick Sales · · Score: 2

    You could buy all sorts of devices to plug into your phone line, back when we had a clueless government monopoly running the phone system. Some had green stickers saying "this is good" and some had red triangles warning that it could not be connected to your phone system. Absolutely nobody gave a shit about the stickers and plugged whatever they wanted into their phone system. Eventually the stickers went away.

  9. Re:Antiquated technology on Breath Test For Pot Being Developed At WSU · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There needs to be an "is this person currently capable of driving properly" test. I don't feel any better knowing a loved one died at the hands of someone who's old, or losing their sight etc rather than being under the influence of drink or drugs.

    I don't get it. Is that supposed to be funny, revealing...what?

  11. Re:Microsoft Windows only on Highly Advanced Backdoor Trojan Cased High-Profile Targets For Years · · Score: 1

    You've massively missed his point. Windows has long been a joke. Pop a CD in and it just runs an exe. Pop a USB key in and it just runs an exe. Other OSes are a little more discerning.

  12. Re:I mean this respectfully on Samsung Seeking To Block Nvidia Chips From US Market · · Score: 1

    Why don't we change the law so that when you have a patent you just get to put a little sticker on the box the devices comes in that says "I did this!" so your shareholders and your mums and dads can be really proud! Well done! And if you can win a law suit against someone else, they have to put a stick on their boxes which say "this box contains stuff some other company worked on" and people can decide whether they give a shit or not, and if they don't (clue: nobody cares), they can buy the product, but if they do care, they can go and get the first companies product instead. Let the market decide that way.

    You're a regular systemd truther, huh? Wake up, sheeple! It's a conspiracy to...uh...improve the quality of Linux systems!

    Just not very many people.

  18. Re: Who are you calling "immature twats" ?? on Longtime Debian Developer Tollef Fog Heen Resigns From Systemd Maintainer Team · · Score: 1

    Is a nickname any better than posting as AC?

    Some people are immature twats. Calling them out as such in no way reflects badly on the person making that statement as long as it can be seen to be true.

  19. It's certainly timely, now that Google has retired the Nexus 10, and introduced a smaller model.

    This pointless review completely misses the point that most people use a tablet to surf, watch video, look at photos and play games. I don't care how the screen is used in Hangouts and Facebook.

  20. Re:Why? on Visual Studio 2015 Supports CLANG and Android (Emulator Included) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Visual Studio is a great IDE, and Google's Android emulator is so slow you'd think it was a joke. So even without a additional framework it's great that you can dump the laugable Eclipse IDE (which has "Open Source shit designed by a deranged committee of fuckwits" all over it), and put the excellent but still not quite as polished Android Studio to one side, and develop for Android that way.

  21. Re:Do math instead on Ask Slashdot: Programming Education Resources For a Year Offline? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Unless you're going to be a web developer. All that complicated stuff isn't required for that. Just wait it out; perhaps you'll return to a world where the standards work.

    I wonder if the people who created TOR thought it might be useful to the authorities. (That's a LOL, by the way.)

    I don't understand the point of the reference to Takedown, nor the irony of Mitnick commenting on another book.
