  1. Re:Con-artist on Flat Earther Fails To Launch His Homemade Rocket -- Yet Again (facebook.com) · · Score: 1

    But he's only conning other Flat-Earthers...It's hard for me to get upset about it.

  2. Re:What is NPM? on Which JavaScript Framework is the Most Popular? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    npm is the most popular java script dependency manager.

  3. Re: Psychopath on Kansas 'Swat' Perpetrator Charged; Faces 11 More Years in Prison (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The fact is anyone can turn to into mr.hyde, and thinking it can't happen to you or someone you know well is why people always say they are shocked when a neighbor or family or whatnot commits an atrocity.

    Citation required. Everything I've read says psychopathy is basically set before people graduate HS. This is much different to me than, my neighbor could just randomly become a psychopath.

  4. Re:Physical access on Linux Has a USB Driver Security Problem (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    secure environments do all that and more: 1) reduce physical access 2) in software blacklist the entire usb chain with the exception of keyboard/mouse. This means no driver will even be loaded no matter what you put in...

  5. Where your data ...

    wait, whose data?

  6. Re:FTFY on Microsoft and Canonical Make Custom Linux Kernel (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    AWS is awesome, but- there is always a business fear of becoming beholden to a single provider. Because of that, any business that has a mature cloud-based usage is thinking, "hmm, what is my plan-B" ?

  7. Unions on Are America's Non-Compete Laws Too Strict? (nrtoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Screwing over large amounts of your work force is how unions start.

  8. Re:So it's not just me on 24 Cores and the Mouse Won't Move: Engineer Diagnoses Windows 10 Bug (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    Hah, you sound like you work in security. I swear, my security team would rather have me just sit and stare at a powered off machine than get any work done,

  9. Re:It will always be better to share on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    If I want to be off grid I need to: ...Have enough power in my batteries to power all my appliances at once.

    LOL, why?

  10. Re:Lack of negative testing - extremely common on Intel's Remote Hijacking Flaw Was 'Worse Than Anyone Thought' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    One of the many reasons people have gone to TDD ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... )

  11. And what if the Cost of living is greater than your income level?

  12. Re:VMWARE is the future? on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Working Environment For a Developer? · · Score: 1

    I love docker containers, but I've never met anyone who develops INSIDE one. I develops a pipeline that PRODUCES them though. How would you even user something like eclipse inside of a container? By that time you'd have pulled in all the things you were able to strip out of the base image.

  13. Re:Yeah, we should have driverless cars on the roa on A Rogue Robot Is Blamed For a Human Colleague's Gruesome Death (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    ...kill the kid in a way that no human would have ever done, unless high on drugs.

    Or falling asleep, or distracted by texting, or messing with their music, or...- The computer doesn't have to be perfect, just better than us, which seems quite easy at this point.

    it is no more than the sum of its programming or the reliability of its sensors.

    And neither are you or I.

  14. Re:FUCK LINUX on Litebook Launches A $249 Linux Laptop (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If you are someone who needs RHEL, why do you care what init system it uses? Has it hurt you in some way?

  15. Re:Let's take a second and think about this. on Female Engineer Sues Tesla, Describing a Culture Of 'Pervasive Harassment' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    this is always a possibility, only provable with larger data sets. Most companies don't want to release this data. The ones people have been able to compile seem to indicated the average pay of women is less for equal work.

  16. Meetups on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Care About Tech Conferences? · · Score: 1

    I goto meetups. They are cheaper, takes less of my time and in my area. There it is easy to both find people who are interested in your area (since meetups can be quite focused) and find people who are hiring. You are also more likely to get an interview from a meetup (IMO) because most of the time only people ACTUALLY interested in that field (and not just a paycheck) go to meetups.

  17. Re:Against TOS on US Visitors May Have to Hand Over Social Media Passwords: DHS (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    These laws do not apply at a "border" which is all of customs.

  18. Re:Systemd, WTF? on Interviews: Ask Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst A Question (redhat.com) · · Score: 1

    yes. If that is the debate cool. It seems a lot of people are still in love the the bash scripting hell that is /etc/init.d/ (SystemV?)

  19. Re:Self-fulfilling Prophecy on Some Colleges Have More Students From the Top 1 Percent Than the Bottom 60 (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Renting is cheaper than owning in the long run - since of-course you'd have to take out a loan to buy a house,

  20. Re:Systemd, WTF? on Interviews: Ask Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst A Question (redhat.com) · · Score: 1

    I like systemd. I can write service scripts in seconds as opposed to hours. It supports dependencies.

  21. Re:I dont know what all the hate is for on Bad Reviews For Super Mario Run Are Sending Nintendo's Stock Tumbling (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    The entire lineage of Mario? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  22. Re:Maybe he does support those values on IBM Employees Protest Cooperation With Donald Trump (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    I've probably watched 100 episodes of the Young Turks. I would not call them "shouting heads". They are just normal people talking about the news they find.

  23. Re:Waaah! on IBM Employees Protest Cooperation With Donald Trump (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    No, we don't have to pretend that. But please acknowledge that the chance that someone working for IBM today also worked for IBM in the 30's is basically 0.
