  1. Re:BINGO! on Ask Slashdot: What's the Biggest Open Source Project of 2015? · · Score: 1

    Whenever I have people come brief and they mention sharding, I always look around to see if I'm the only immature one in the room.

  2. Re:A good way to get kids interested in tech on Teaching Kids Engineering By Building Cartoon Tech (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Ok... and now that they do suck?

  3. Re:Salespeople making salespitch on Microsoft To Teachers: Using Pens and Paper Not Fair To Students · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Modern artists use MS Paint! The pinnacle of graphic design.

  4. Re:H-1B News? on Facebook Wants to Skip the Off-Site Links, Host News Content Directly · · Score: 1

    Won't be the case for all those internet.org users ten years from now.

  5. I'm not quite on board with this.

  6. Re:No, This Is Important for People to See on Wellness App Author Lied About Cancer Diagnosis · · Score: 1

    So on the other end of the conspiracy spectrum, are we to assume wholefood companies had nothing to do with the success of any of Gibson's work?

  7. Re:HTTPS needs to be the default on EFF: Wider Use of HTTPS Could Have Prevented Attack Against GitHub · · Score: 2

    I didn't get your comment until further down... HTTPS does provide security, it just doesn't guarantee it. Especially where China could probably install any client they want on many many computers.

  8. Re:LAPD Police? on LAPD Police Claim Helicopters Stop Crimes Before They Happen · · Score: 1

    Don't move to D.C. or Arlington, V.A. Military helicopters galore.

  9. Re:Typical Blame game on Google Error Leaks Website Owners' Personal Information · · Score: 1

    For WHOIS info?

    He said D.C.

  11. Re:Simple answer... on Colorado Sued By Neighboring States Over Legal Pot · · Score: 1

    Do you mean the D.C. that voted to legalize and were told to shove off by the congress critters from other states that the rest of the country elected?

  12. It's only worth it on Will Lyft and Uber's Shared-Ride Service Hurt Public Transit? · · Score: 1

    In Arlington VA I take the bus every day. It's not only faster (it takes HOV on 395 which is 10x faster than the regular travel lanes), but I don't have to pay for parking either. The only better alternative I could use for commuting would be to ride my bike, but I really don't have a good solution for my suit. WMATA has its huge flaws, but the buses are usually on schedule, clean, and safe.

  13. Also a large portion of personnel working in that environment, even in the federal buildings are contractors. Only difference between that and this, is the location they're working. Which as you said, has to be vetted facility wise to meet the same standards as federal spaces.

  14. Re:What will happen to their physical condition on NASA Eyes Crew Deep Sleep Option For Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    Armageddon?

  15. Re:Security through Antiquity? on US Nuclear Missile Silos Use Safe, Secure 8" Floppy Disks · · Score: 1

    I think you're really not giving enough credit to those in charge of security auditing in the DoD. First, this may be the way the general likes to explain it, but I don't think it's entirely true, that their tactic is based on security through obscurity. Second, I don't believe those in charge of the auditing would let something as simple as not having the right device to read an old floppy foil their intrusion attempt. It may be old, but I'm willing to bet it's just as secure now as it ever was.

  16. Viable Replacement? on Dyn.com Ends Free Dynamic DNS · · Score: 2

    Anyone have a recommended replacement service?

  17. Re:Liking my old cars more and more. on Government To Require Vehicle-to-vehicle Communication · · Score: 1

    Not sure if you're aware or not, in Vegas they are piloting a system that does this for taxi drivers. As soon as the cab gets close enough to anything in front of it, the driver's seat vibrates to hell. (x10 if it's a pedestrian in front) It's annoying even as a passenger. Especially if you're sitting behind the driver and your knees have to touch the seat.

  18. Re:Edge Cases on Google Planning To Remove CSS Regions From Blink · · Score: 1

    Well isn't it theirs to do with as they please?

    The training is for the benefit of the trainees;

    Well that's pretty universal isn't it?

    2TB USB HDD connected directly to the WDTV.

  21. Re:What I would prefer... on Roku Finally Adds YouTube To Its Iconic Media Player · · Score: 1

    I like mine too. The only actual complaint I have is that you can't navigate through music menus by Artist > Album > Songs. Only either Artist > Songs, or Album > Songs. The UI could be a little less sluggish but for what I paid I'm pleased.

  22. DHS Kill Switch? on Court: Homeland Security Must Disclose 'Internet Kill Switch' · · Score: 2

    Can someone explain to me the benefit of an internet kill switch? And how DHS is the appropriate department for its implementation?

    Damn commies. Totally against the capitalist principals that have made American auto manufacturers so successful over the years.

  25. But this will make cars so much easier to hack! on Auto Makers To Standardize On Open Source · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Doesn't anyone know open source means all the hackers can just go right in and edit your car's source code?
