  1. Werid on WPA2 Wireless Security Crackable WIth "Relative Ease" · · Score: 1

    This article is a really takes a really roundabout way to tell you computers are getting faster...

  2. Re:Not replacing virtualization... on Docker Turns 1: What's the Future For Open Source Container Tech? · · Score: 1

    Your comment was more interesting than the article, can you just write posts instead of timothy posting things?

  3. Re:Subjects suck. on Docker Turns 1: What's the Future For Open Source Container Tech? · · Score: 1

    That's so you'll look it up and then be "in the know" by having "discovered it yourself". It's just a thinly veiled spam story.

  4. Re:Generic Hardware on Microsoft Dumping License Fees For Windows Phone? · · Score: 1

    Ever since the tethering settlement the open access rules require Verizon to allow any device on their network (the 700Mhz LTE block that is).

  5. Re:It does let you read faster... on Bringing Speed Reading To the Web · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just need to build a good interface. I'd like to see a "clutch" - a button I hold down to read and let go to stop. Then easy rewind/forward. Maybe a button that moves back to the last punctuation mark? I think SOME of the problems we could solve with good UI design.

  6. Re:If you want to hoard bits... on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    You'd need 25 tapes (800GB) and a full backup or restore would take 3.8 days (peak theoretical 60MB/s). Depending on the rate of change this may not be viable.

  8. Re:Legal strategy? on Apple Demands $40 Per Samsung Phone For 5 Software Patents · · Score: 1

    It's just a bargaining position. Samsung will counter with something lower and they'll meet somewhere in the middle.

  9. Tell that the the families of passengers on Flight MH370.

    Ok, I'll tell them: Sorry we're too cheap to foot the bill and this is an obvious puff piece by a PR company to convince us all we need to spend millions (billions over time) to outfit every commercial plane with this device.

  10. Re:And yet apple sells more tablets than anybody on Android Beats iOS As the Top Tablet OS · · Score: 2

    It's garbage $100 tablets, or less. Resistive and very low resolution screens with sub 1Ghz processors. Things that are given away as gifts or used once and never touched again. Just cheap shit being cranked out in China.

  11. Jesus H Christ on Ask Slashdot: Modern Web Development Applied Science Associates Degree? · · Score: 2

    Not everyone building C.R.U.D. web apps needs a fucking degree. It's practically a trade skill. What we need is a mass of "good enough" programmers to do 90% of the grunt work out there and do it CHEAP.

    This must be really awkward for you.

    Yes, you would use host headers in IIS.

    I don't know what that is, but do you have an actual source for this? It's an interesting fact, I'd like to see something that actually backs it up.

    Great and from that Google search exactly which results shows an actual scientific study that proves his post?

  17. Re:sequential transfer on Intel's New Desktop SSD Is an Overclocked Server Drive · · Score: 1

    Well, SATA Express and NVMe will be here soon and we should see a pretty massive jump in sequential throughput.

  18. Re:oh yeah well wait until the hear about SNMP on Yes, You Too Can Be an Evil Network Overlord With OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    Yeah I don't get it, NetFlow is news? We (and everyone else) has been using this in production environments for about 20 years.

  19. So what you're saying is ... on Rolls Royce Developing Drone Cargo Ships · · Score: 2

    The plot of the movie "Hackers" is actually going to be real??? Finally!!!

  20. Re:IPv6 should have been entrenched before TLD pro on ICANN Considers Using '127.0.53.53' To Tackle DNS Namespace Collisions · · Score: 1

    New TLDs shouldnt necessarily drive any real increase in IP address space usage. We've had vhosts for a long time.

  21. Re:Open source games on Louis Suarez-Potts Talks About Making Money with FOSS (Video) · · Score: 1

    I think you're discounting the freemium model. Free game but you pay for other things within the game. I'd like to see someone develop a game like this. Then maybe you run the login servers but each installation can "shard" their own server. Maybe you only charge them if they have more than X number of logins per month? I don't know, I think we're not thinking creatively enough. And there's just no reason to choose open source vs closed really.

    We tried that, it didn't go so well.

  23. Re:To hell with "slow", just give me "cheap"!!! on Why Is US Broadband So Slow? · · Score: 1

    Was just about to reply with the same thing, there are no more unlimited plans. But, to be fair, I don't think his mother is going to hit the 2 or 5GB data cap on a verizon wireless plan checking her e-mail.

  24. Re:Population density on Why Is US Broadband So Slow? · · Score: 1

    That's really not true at all. Many major metro areas have DOCSIS 3 cable Internet service at 100Mb/s+ available or even Verizon FiOS.

    Since when is Provo, Utah a major metro area?
