  1. They're not auditing the code. They're auditing the process, to find the root cause as to why the software flaw wasn't detected.

  2. Until a few years ago, I owned what (I suspect) was the only manual/stick Camry in existence.

  3. Re:I'd pay extra to not compete with Netflix binge on PSA: Comcast Doesn't Really Support Net Neutrality (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    And Google/Netflix/whoever paid their ISP for an insane amount of bandwidth as well. Why should they have to pay Comcast?

  4. Slashdot has become Facebook.

    I can't count the number of times I've seen this question/meme on my FB newsfeed.

    And yes, I can count, I was a math major waaaay back when before I became a CS major.

  5. TFA clearly states that this will be an optional feature

    Until it isn't.

  6. Was I the only one who liked the 3.1 "Program Manager" feature? I used to group all my docs/applications/etc... into one program group per project.

  7. Re:Superuser access on Two Major Cydia Hosts Shut Down as Jailbreaking Fades in Popularity (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    This is EASIER than Net Neutrality...

    It's a case of "Think you own it? You don't."

  8. Uh... he was appointed by Obama. Trump just made him the chair.

  9. Re:Fencing comes to mind on Why Do Left-Handers Excel at Certain Elite Sports But Not Others? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    When I had been fencing for about a year, I broke my right arm. I wound up learning how to fence left handed... not very well, but yes, it did give an advantage.

    However, since I had learned right handed, I almost had no advantage because I wasn't USED to defending left handed.

  10. Congratulations, msmash! on Devs Working To Stop Go Math Error Bugging Crypto Software (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You have composed what may be the world's most incomprehensible headline!

  11. Re:An unpopular opinion on Facebook To Show Users Which Russian Propaganda They Followed (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I like the fact that big, heavily-populated states (California, New York, Texas) don't get to set the agenda for the rest of us

    So instead a few "battleground" states (PA, OH, FL) get to set the agenda for the rest of us.

    I don't see the difference.

    No, the punishment for ATTEMPTED suicide is a death penalty.
    The punishment for successful suicide is a life sentence.

  13. Objective-C without the C... on Google Is Working On Fuchsia OS Support For Apple's Swift Programming Language (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    So, SmallTalk, then?

  15. Re: So in other words... on Yelp Ordered To Identify User Accused of Defaming a Tax Preparer (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Way to miss it, dude.... The correct spelling is you're golden. "Your" is a possessive.

  16. Re: So in other words... on Yelp Ordered To Identify User Accused of Defaming a Tax Preparer (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    And my golden what?

  17. Inconceivable!!!

    Me three. No graphics for me because I had a 1200 baud modem at the time. I was stoked when I went to 9600.

    Meh... GEnie is where it's at.

    I agree with this.... [a shadow seems to pass over sconeu's face]. I would say more, but a shadow seems to have passed over my face.

  21. Re:The most retarded thing... on US Airports Still Fail New Security Tests (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah. I flew from Europe to LAX via Minneapolis. They made us redo the security screening. The only rationale I can think of is that we had access to our checked baggage (customs) before going to the connecting flight.

    or what happens when the reality of war sets in and the Federation can't hold on to its rules and ideals

    Sisko straight up assassinated a Romulan senator. Easily one of the greatest episodes to ever come out of Trek.

    Especially after the two-parter "Past Tense", where Bashir asks Sisko what he thought would happen if the Federation ever got pushed to the limit, would they abandon their ideals; and then Sisko replies with some platitude.

  23. Dammit... Forgot to preview...

    Our front door keys, the combinations to all our safes, and the keys to any and all safe deposit boxes that we have.

  24. Why don't we all give you our front door keys as well? That will make things easier for you too!!!

    Given that the engines on the Falcon 1 were Kestrel, and the BFR engines are Raptor, I'm going with "named after the bird"
