    ... working on a score for a Harrison Ford movie at the time.

  2. MongoDB? on MEAN Vs. LAMP: Finding the Right Fit For Your Next Project · · Score: 1

    All I know about it is that it installed with Debian on my laptop. And from time to time, when everything starts to bog down, its MongoDB that is hogging CPU cycles. So I sudo kill `pidof mongodb` and all is well. Nothing stops working or loses functions. So I can't figure out what the fuck MongoDB was doing clogging up my system.

  3. Hunter-gatherer on General Mills To Drop Artificial Ingredients In Cereal · · Score: 1

    Arguably, all of our agricultural produce is artificial to one degree or another. You want 'all natural' cereal for breakfast? Your box of cereal will contain a woven grass basket with instructions to go out and collect it yourself.

    This.

    And if I want to ram some police cars, I'll just steal a dump truck.

  13. Re:Sigh. on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 2

    My neighbor has a howitzer. No problems. But I do check occasionally when I drive by that it's still pointed the other way.

    Nope. Can't use Wayland. It's not network transparent. We need native Xlib clients that can interoperate with remote X Windows servers.

  19. How is ... on Reasons To Use Mono For Linux Development · · Score: 1

    ... Mono support for Xlib?

  20. Re:Wait a friggin minute... on Russian Troops Traced To Ukrainian Battlefields Through Social Media · · Score: 1

    a strongly enforced ban on military member participation in social media.

    Which, I suspect, wouldn't work.

    I suspect that OPSEC leaks via social media will be easier to identify and deal with than through traditional means. The classic HUMINT methods involving buying a soldier a drink, hooker, or pile of blow were difficult to detect. Social media, by comparison, is easy to scan automatically. And mentions of Crimea or Ukraine (or Yemen and Iraq) are easily detectable and passed over to the security department.

  21. Take a lesson ... on USAF Cuts Drone Flights As Stress Drives Off Operators · · Score: 1
