    the new Apple car uses spider legs.

    I'm no Apple fanboy but where do send my check for this.

    Weird, I just saw a similar (or same) SSID in my neighborhood... Do you live in Denver?

  6. In a way they are going after the manufacturers on FTDI Reportedly Bricking Devices Using Competitors' Chips. · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Most people won't have any technical knowhow to understand why their device bricked, just that it bricked. Bricked devices will be blamed on the device manufacturer not the chip supplier.

  7. Are they saying... on Europol Predicts First Online Murder By End of This Year · · Score: 5, Funny

    That monitor mounted, usb powered (web) gun wasn't the best purchase?

  8. Conflicted view on this... on Vax, PDP/11, HP3000 and Others Live On In the Cloud · · Score: 3

    Having been in a small/medium business consulting realm I have seen many companies go far to long using old technology because "it works". The issue being of course that there is no support from any vendor when something doesn't. Usually my best argument for companies to get off these old systems is that the hardware will certainly fail and spare parts are increasingly difficult to find and expensive. Its great to have an option of emulation of this sort to allow companies to not have to have the huge burden of being forced to use a modern tool with most likely some considerable amount of downtime due to waiting to the last second. On the flip side of that the hidden long term costs of limping by with old, unsupported software will be even more challenging to present to those with the checkbook.

    Indeed, we can easily double that with indifferent machinery.

    Anytime I run desktop software on my phone it seems to be very buggy no matter who the manufacturer is.

  15. Quitting is not an option? on Ask Slashdot: Development Requirements Change But Deadlines Do Not? · · Score: 1

    How is quitting not an option? Incriminating photo's? Doorknob too complicated?

  16. Re:Glad to see some real pushback on Google Asks Government For More Transparency, Other Groups Push Back Against NSA · · Score: 1

    So what do I do when my Congressmen already publicly appose these tactics yet I have the suspicion that they privately support them? The two party system is working out well for the US. Either vote someone in who publicly discards your privacy or vote someone in who will denounce the very thing they're doing.

    Supposedly he as arrested for making false statements to his probation officer. Is that something that a normal person would be jailed for?

    Yeah, typically. You also go to jail for violating terms of your probation too. Lying to your probation officer, depending on the lie will typically get you a few nights in jail. Violating your probation terms typically means you go back to jail for a considerable amount of time.

    As a fellow dog owner. I'd keep an eye out for the one who modded this informative.

  23. Re:Herman Miller Aeron... on Best Chair For Desktop Coding? · · Score: 1

    I bought a SteelCase Think chair with all the bells and whistles

    http://www.steelcase.com/na/think_products.aspx?f=11845

    Its designed to adjust automatically to the user so it only has minimal adjustments. I didn't really notice how nice it was until I fractured one of my vertebrae this winter. Sitting in it actually made my back feel better. With everything I wanted accessory wise it cost me the same amount as an Aeron but it was well worth it.
