  1. Re:Look outside of Africa, too. on Oldest Fossils of Homo Sapiens Found in Morocco, Altering History of Our Species (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    I think it is more likely that the method used for dating these discoveries is horribly inaccurate. For decades we were using inaccurate methods, and we might still be.

  2. Dianetics on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Books You Wish You Had Read Earlier? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Dianetics. I had money before I read it.

  3. I think Slashdot users are intelligent enough to hate people who were successful because they got lucky, while people who actually make a contribution to the world get ignored. I have more respect for someone in IT making $50,000 in Silicon Valley protecting our country, than some loudmouth who got lucky selling out during a dotcom bubble.

  4. People didn't want what Cuban produced. It was a failure. He just got lucky selling it to stupid Yahoo for $5.7 billion which then shuttered it. He was in the right place at the right time in the middle of a bubble.

  5. Why would you donate any money to a tech company? They are rolling in money.

  6. That does under the "duh" file too. You don't think tech board members actually do any work do you? They are just riding the wave of money that is in tech.

  7. Duh. They aren't doing it for fun.

  8. Re:Cause and effect... on Moderate Drinking Can Damage the Brain, Claim Researchers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Red meat is a poison too, but I always see you stuffing a burger in your face.

  9. Truly the "social sharing" generation!

  10. Re:Seems reasonable. on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 1

    What is wrong with "watching what you say"? Didn't your Mom teach you that when you were a kid???

  11. That isn't... on Can Twitter Survive By Becoming A User-Owned Co-Op? (salon.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That isn't a Co-op. It is just trying to sell stock to individual investors. These people have no idea how public companies are run. Unless you own a significant portion of the shares you aren't changing anything.

  12. Re:No bug tracking on Ask Slashdot: How Does Your Team Track And Manage Bugs In Your Software? · · Score: 1

    I used to do that. Now I just ignore them. It is much easier!

  13. Re:Bugzilla on Ask Slashdot: How Does Your Team Track And Manage Bugs In Your Software? · · Score: 2

    Eh, that is fairly typical with software development. The truth is that no one really knows how to do it right. That is why the methodologies switch around every few years.

  14. Re:and a unicorn could've flown out my ass last ni on A Lake On Mars May Once Have Teemed With Life (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You won't get funding for your next mission unless you dangle the "well there could have been life there" card.

  15. Bugzilla on Ask Slashdot: How Does Your Team Track And Manage Bugs In Your Software? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Bugzilla. It sucks. But that is what it is there for.

  16. Pinboard subscription on Pioneering Link-Sharing Site Del.icio.us Shuts Down (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll bet Pinboard makes upwards of $0 per year on subscriptions.

  17. Like AI on Toyota Demos A Flying Car. It Crashes. (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Like AI and autonomous cars, flying cars are right around the corner. And since I had a C64 in my youth, and now my computer today is 10000x faster, computers in the future will be even more powerful than today. After all: progress is inevitable.

  18. Re:Original maybe, ingenious really? on CIA Malware Can Switch Clean Files With Malware When You Download Them Via SMB (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    That probably explains it, and also the 800MB file limit they mentioned.

  19. Re:Surprise, surprise! on CIA Malware Can Switch Clean Files With Malware When You Download Them Via SMB (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you can install software on a computer it makes that computer instantly insecure. It really has nothing to do with SMB being secure. You could do this with any protocol, but API support for this in SMB makes it easier.

  20. It is Windows only for now, but we are working on a Linux version. Don't tell anyone though.

  21. Re:Original maybe, ingenious really? on CIA Malware Can Switch Clean Files With Malware When You Download Them Via SMB (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm still trying to figure out how it only supports 20 files max. I am suspecting variable names like "filename1", "filename2", etc.

  22. Re:Sucker that I am... on JRR Tolkien Book 'Beren and Luthien' Published After 100 Years (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Lots of people like chicken. Not just me, snowflake.

  23. You are responsible for security at a 3 letter government agency and you earn $50,000 in Silicon Valley?

  24. Re:Sucker that I am... on JRR Tolkien Book 'Beren and Luthien' Published After 100 Years (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I probably will buy it too. What do you think about that?

  25. I thought we were all going to Mars. It turns out the rich just want to deliver more satellites. What a waste of time. Use a regular rocket, Paul.
