    essentially because I agree with the comment "He's right"

  2. luckly we got the blogger to tell us the truth on Terrible Advice From a Great Scientist · · Score: 0

    ... and that infamous father of sociobiology lie to us. Why should people believe what the blogger says? I'm very curious.

    I don't think pirates could get past YMCA here

  4. there are a lot of good suggestion here but.. on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 0

    My personal experience is that, if you work hard and give respect to your coworkers, You'll be Welcome anytime, despite any bad traits you may have.

    You're on the right track because You are asking yourself how to get better at work, do that with your colleagues and you'll be good! "What can I do to help You with that?" often do the trick, if you are looking for a starter motto.
    After 12y in this I actually have two mottos:
    1- that above, the standard one
    2- "Sounds impossible to me" if I don't like the project/ideav

    nice score, with SP1 they'll aim to 10 out of 10 - 100%

  8. Re:How long ... [WIMAX?] on Free Wi-Fi For the Residents of Venice, Italy · · Score: 0


    Metropolitan areas are very likely to be served by 802.11n and also WIMAX, which also benefits from greater area coverage ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX#Competing_technologies )... but I definitely agree with You.. no wires in the future!
    not even power line wires (not a news but, for reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer ).

  9. e-gondola broadband on Free Wi-Fi For the Residents of Venice, Italy · · Score: 0

    With WIFI area coverage all over the famous lagoon city it won't take long for services like "e-gondola", a new service dedicated to people all over the world, mostly lovers but also curious, for their chance to do a [not very] cheap trip under famous Venice bridges and channels... in total relax from their home, wherever they live.

    Someone want to invest in such a good idea? ;-)

  10. learn the lesson on Professor Gets 4 Years in Prison for Sharing Drone Plans With Students · · Score: 0

    There are a bunch of things to think about here. I can't believe he ignored a security rule such that... so there must be something else.

    I see three main reasons:
    - he got money for that, thus making him a spy or a country traitor (and that's a bad thing)
    - he thought that such a project was too powerful for a single nation and thus shared it as much as possible, but that's difficult to believe and wouldn't solve anything
    - he wanted low-cost engineering help to get some extra-$ in the deal
    - he tought the rest of the world is just a suburb of US

    I can't believe this man to be just as 'stupid' as it seems!

  11. will they add clippy? on IBM Releases Open Source Machine Learning Compiler · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems like You're computing a spatial Hash! Would You like to use the fastest subroutine I know or use your own?

    seriously... this post talk about machine learning optimization, will it be like "more stuff You compile, better luck with resulting machine code" ?

    It's like a new GPS navigation software thats not only capable of route optimization but also capable of destination suggestions. "It sounds like You're going to a grocery store to buy pizza... there's a pizza hut round the corner!"

    fantasy quotes: "... air conditioner in building have to work harder to cool air when people with black shirt, tuxedo, heavy socks and high boots enter the building, thus all these stuff will be forbidden!".

    May seems funny (or just weird) but that's what japanese did, first in the world, a bunch of years ago introducing 'less formal' wears in the office to lower air conditioner power consumption.

    mmmh what else.. super-tax for heavy cpu.consuming games and applications...

    I'm looking for a business mate to market black stuff from california to alaska, marketing back white stuff from alaska to california!

  20. ET, secure, phooone hooome on Do We Need a New Internet? · · Score: 0

    "...the current Internet might end up as the bad neighborhood of cyberspace. You would enter at your own risk and keep an eye over your shoulder while you were there."

    like porn sites!

    seriusly: various projects built a net in the net (see freenet, tor), so no news here.

    If (they? we?) want to build a secure internet over the current one, and having net neutrality as baseline, I think this can just be of the same interest as freenet or tor.

    Tor and Freenet did a good job to let You surf as anonymous, and so We may need just the opposite: a secure network where to surf with a strong identity.

    I also rememeber a bunch of years ago they told ipv6 would solve typical ipv4 security issues, but I may have confused with ipsec! ;-)

    Now that You mention it.. most website warn You with something like:

    I didn't read such things on slashdot.org so it must be OK: my CC is 5465... huh.. mmh.. let me send it via private message!
