  1. Save the trouble and our tax dollars on How Astronomers Will Take the "Image of the Century": a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    Here, I got your work cut out for you:

  2. Re:The Myth of Rags to Riches on Woz Downplays the Significance of Apple's Startup Garage · · Score: 2

    If you simply showed up at the Telco, demoed your invention, and expected to walk out with a big check and a contract, you did it wrong.

    You should have patented your invention, then have the big bad Telco sign an NDA, then show them your invention.

  3. Re:Doesn't apply to Google on Android Policy For Nexus and Google Play Devices Updated To Excuse Carrier Delay · · Score: 1

    Get the image straight from Google as TFS suggested and flash it manually.

  4. Re:Doesn't apply to Google on Android Policy For Nexus and Google Play Devices Updated To Excuse Carrier Delay · · Score: 1

    You have to clear the data/cache from within recovery. Look it up, as I use CWM recovery and don't know how to do it in stock recovery.

  5. Up next, tulip bulbs from Mars on Conglomerate Rock From Mars: (Much) More Precious Than Gold · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think I've seen that movie before...

  6. Re:I always liked the guy... on The Man Who Made Tetris · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but I love the way he spelled Romney as Rmoney.

  7. Competition on How Facebook Is Influencing Who Will Win the Next Election · · Score: 1

    > protect users from third-party apps collecting too much of
    their information.

    Right, because Facebook hates competition from third-party apps that collect too much user information.

  8. So can anyone with Pro Tools... BFD. on Polyphonic Overtone Singing Explained Visually With Spectrograms · · Score: 0, Redundant

    With the advent of technology, anyone can sing or play any instrument like a pro.

    Outside of a live performance, does it really matter?

  9. Intel lost the ARM wrestling then on Intel Announces Major Reorg To Combine Mobile and PC Divisions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is Intel basically admitting defeat in the mobile space. It's good they don't feel so cocky anymore. Competition is good for everyone.

  10. Physical Access = Game Over on Popular Smartphones Hacked At Mobile Pwn2Own 2014 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Haven't we learned by now that physical access to a device steamrolls every security measure put in place?? Why are we still shocked and awed by headlines like these?

  11. NdGT on Black IT Pros On (Lack Of) Racial Diversity In Tech · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What does Neil deGrasse Tyson have to say about racial diversity in astrophysics?

    That's right, nothing, so who fucking cares??

  12. Repeat with me on Gridlock In Action: Retailers Demand New Regulations To Protect Consumers · · Score: 0

    Regulations protect corporations!!
    Regulations protect corporations!!
    Regulations protect corporations!!
    Regulations protect corporations!!

    Say NO to regulation!!!

  13. "Approacheable FPS" on Blizzard Announces Overwatch, a First-Person Shooter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hmmm, let's see:

    - Autoaim
    - Regenerating HP
    - Tons of ammo
    - OP weapons
    - HUGE hitboxes

    Thanks, I think I'll pass...

  14. Re:I don't watch discovery any more on Discovery Claims It Will Show a Man Being "Eaten Alive" By an Anaconda · · Score: 1, Informative

    And let's not forget the History channel.

    - Pawn shop guys
    - Restoration guys
    - Alien shows
    - Ancient civilization shows
    - Anti-Nazi propaganda

  15. Re:Concern or convenience? on Some Virgin Galactic Customers Demand Money Back · · Score: 2

    I'm fairly sure the contract they signed with Virgin Galactic upon purchase of tickets clearly outlines the procedure against buyer remorse and refunds. It's a significant sum of money, so the company simply can't afford to let custmers get away like that.

  16. Sweet!! on Internet Archive Launches Arcade of Classic Games In the Browser · · Score: 5, Funny

    Goodbye productivity!!

  17. Re:Firefox better get their act together on YouTube Opens Up 60fps To Everyone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is Google favoring their own browser. There's nothing Mozilla can do about it.

    If you don't like this attitude, don't use Chrome.

  18. Did he leave or was he invited to leave? on Android Co-Founder Andy Rubin Leaving Google · · Score: -1, Troll

    Given the fact that Android, despite its technical progress, is still playing catch up to mainstream iOS, I wouldn't be surprised if he was invited to "pursue other interests."

  19. Re:Retro computers as DIY kits? on Apple 1 Sells At Auction For $905,000 · · Score: 1

    No, there isn't, or else some shrewd businessman would've opened up a shop already.

    At the risk of being modded Troll, I'll say that most people interested in these ancient relics, other than museums, want the software that ran on them, and there are several emulators for that.

  20. Re:Telsa's lobbiest crashes on Michigan About To Ban Tesla Sales · · Score: 1

    Did you realize who posted this? Worse than little Jimmy, but at least it wasn't Millhouse.

  21. It's all about cost, not physical space. on Making Best Use of Data Center Space: Density Vs. Isolation · · Score: 1

    At most places I've worked, the situation described was requested / imposed by the PHBs and bean counters to save costs, reliability and isolation be damned.

    Lack of physical room was NEVER, I repeat, NEVER an issue. This ain't Tokyo we´re talking about. If your office building doesn't have a spare room, you'll have other major issues down the road when ytour company expands its business.

  22. Re:WTF? on Ask Slashdot: Why Can't Google Block Spam In Gmail? · · Score: 1

    Then you click "This is not Spam" and Gmail immediately learns. And any SIMILAR messages (i.e. similar subject, same sender, etc.) are no longer treated as spam.

  23. WTF? on Ask Slashdot: Why Can't Google Block Spam In Gmail? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Spam folder in my Gmail catches 99.9% of all spam I receive.

    As a bonus: it's also excellent about learning what I mark as spam, and dealing with false positives.

  24. Re:What A Weapon on The CDC Is Carefully Controlling How Scared You Are About Ebola · · Score: 1

    Ebola would be a terrible bioweapon for the simple reason that it isn't airborne or waterborne.

    Don't you guys play Plague, Inc???

  25. Re:but useful software is not cheap to make on The Malware of the Future May Come Bearing Real Gifts · · Score: 1

    Worse.

    A friend of mine worked on a customer's machine that had some uber virus in it. He told me all the tech details, but thanks to one to many Hoegaardens I forgot them. He was only able to isolate the virus by hooking up the customer's HD to a Linux box and fix it.

    Long story short, he innocently contacted Cnet to tell them that software XYZ had a virus in it, ony to be told something along the lines of "yeah, we know, but we get paid to put them there, so there's nothing we can do about it."
