    Was expecting a "first post" comment to immediately follow article.

  2. Re:Stick one to the side of a big pirnter / copier on Stealthy Pen Test Unit Plugs Directly Into 110 VAC Socket (Video) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Even better if you have one with duel Ethernet ports on it.

    The ethernet ports would fight each other?

    Fun fact, which American President has killed more Muslims via drone strike then GWB? Barack Obama.

    I didn't know either of those guys flew drones!

    Er, apparently it's been moved to Baltimore as noted below.

  5. In Washington, DC on Slashdot Visits the Seattle Pinball Museum (Video) · · Score: 1

    We have on in Georgetown in DC in a mall, but it's kind of small and unimpressive.

  6. Re:Before the rants start... on NYC To Release Teacher Evaluation Data Over Union Protests · · Score: 1

    Paying people more money automatically creates better work? It sure doesn't work that way in IT.

  7. Re:But how do you know if you know? on US Appeals Court Upholds Suspect's Right To Refuse Decryption · · Score: 1

    Duh, that's when you plant the child porn on his computer and proceed as planned to avoid embarrassment.

  8. Re:Monetary insanity on Obama Pushes For Cheaper Pennies · · Score: 1

    What? In most of those societies, the value of the money was based on its metal content. That's not true of modern money in even the wildest fantasy.

  9. Re:Not bleak at all on SSD Latency, Error Rates May Spell Bleak Future · · Score: 4, Informative

    Exactly, this quote at the end says it all: "However, even with TLC flash at 6.5nm, Grupp calculates that SSDs will continue to outperform hard disk drives on throughput, 32,000 IOPS to 200 IOPS, respectively."

    Have you compared it in a double-blind test to placebo?

  11. DropBox? on LibreOffice 3.5 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They don't have their own hosting for this stuff? More seriously, how much RAM does this take up.

  12. Re:Poor Supporting Argument on Google Asks Court Not To Enjoin ReDigi · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "We certainly can't let the law get in way of making money." That's been the RIAA's argument so far...

  13. Re:Florian Mueller? on ITC Throws Out B&N Antitrust Claims Against MS · · Score: 1

    Not usually, but this seems to be a correct statement of facts.

  14. Re:So what? on Mitt Romney, Robotics, and the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 2

    "The SAME people who thought Clinton was a great president decided he was no good anymore because he screwed an intern." What? No. The people who were after him were the REPUBLICANS, who never wanted him to be president.

  15. Re:"It's not the consumer's job to know what to wa on Apple Versus Google Innovation Strategies · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Way to downplay those two items, which are used by millions, and conveniently ignore Android and Google Maps, among others.

  16. Re:Babylon is in Central/Southern Africa? on Recent Discovery Contains Oldest Depiction of the Tower of Babel · · Score: 1

    It's also no coincidence those are the first sounds a baby can generally articulate. The baby made a buh or duh sound? Clearly it is referring to me.

    Silly goose, only the government can use facial recognition!

  23. VirtualBox? VirtualPC? on VMware, a Falling Giant? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The number of people talking about VirtualBox and VirtualPC in this thread is astounding. We're talking about "enterprise" virtualization here, not keeping some dev boxes on your desktop. I think you need to be talking about Hyper-V and Xen, as well as all the competing VDI solutions.

  24. Privacy? on Google Starts Indexing Facebook Comments · · Score: 4, Funny

    I hate it when the information I post on a publicly readable service isn't private.

    You can self-publish to other e-bookstores as well, and most people seem to do at least B&N.
