  1. Re:Well duh on The Open Office Is Destroying the Workplace · · Score: 3, Informative

    Good open-plan uses more space than closed. You need to put space between the pods for noise reduction and traffic flow as there's no pre-defined 'corridors'. You also have to add space for break-out areas and extra meeting-rooms. You won't win on real-estate.

  2. Re:Does a Cop or Computer Issue a Ticket? on Out With the Red-Light Cameras, In With the Speeding Cameras · · Score: 1

    They use mobile cameras here, moved a couple of times a day. At one point they had to put a cop with the camera so charges would hold up. They changed the laws and an approved tech can sit with the camera now.

  3. Re:May want a disclaimer here... on Putting a MacBook Pro In the Oven To Fix It · · Score: 5, Funny

    Violins is OK but sax is evil.

  4. Re:I'll toss in some predictions myself... on What's the Future of Corporate IT and ITSM? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, MS are already covering these with Intune. Given the BYOD (Support your own crap) fad, they're already looking after non domain-joined devices running multiple OSes. Apple and Google don't need to get on board.

  5. Re:How do people survive at 75 degrees? on Being Colder May Be Good For Your Health · · Score: 1

    I'd be happy if they'd specify if 0 degrees is east or north, then I'll know which way to rotate the house.

  6. Re:International translation on Being Colder May Be Good For Your Health · · Score: 1

    I'll be happy if it drops below 25 by midnight. Dropping to 19 means sealing the house and cranking the AC to 11. Then again, we have a cool change, 39 today and 29 tomorrow. A low of 18 should let things cool down overnight.

  7. Re:So Windows will be shipping with THREE browsers on Microsoft Is Building a New Browser As Part of Its Windows 10 Push · · Score: 1

    Immersive IE, the metro/ modern / Windows 8 store style Windows app version is slated to go away in Windows 10, so there'll only be two browsers. Given MS and their complete inability to name things I expect the difference will be IE / IE for business or IE / IE Express but I probably need more coffee to get more confusing.

  8. Re:Start over = new bugs + old bugs on Microsoft Is Building a New Browser As Part of Its Windows 10 Push · · Score: 1

    Last month's security update that broke dialogue boxes in older SharePoint sites comes to mind. Mission critical web-app that nobody wants to pay to fix forced a roll-back.

  9. Re:WHY GOD WHY on Microsoft Is Building a New Browser As Part of Its Windows 10 Push · · Score: 1

    I'd say Linux is the most used OS, specifically the Android distribution. Ignoring that, variety is good as long as people stick to standards. Microsoft is no longer the clear number one, so they have to play along as well. Even they don't insist on Windows these days. Look at the supported platforms for Office.

  10. Re:WHY GOD WHY on Microsoft Is Building a New Browser As Part of Its Windows 10 Push · · Score: 1

    For the same reason they developed WebKit in the first place when Trident had 'won' the browser wars. It prevents a mono-culture and makes everyone play by the standards. Do you want WebKit to be the next IE6?

  11. Re:Escort on AirAsia Flight Goes Missing Between Indonesia and Singapore · · Score: 1

    In addition, the escort might (given ROE / oversight) be able to deal with external threats. For on-board problems all they could do is watch.

  12. Re:Escort on AirAsia Flight Goes Missing Between Indonesia and Singapore · · Score: 1

    North or west of Australia but still closer than Ukraine.

  13. Re: Lulz whut?? on AirAsia Flight Goes Missing Between Indonesia and Singapore · · Score: 1

    The computer reported an imbalance.

  14. Re:Escort on AirAsia Flight Goes Missing Between Indonesia and Singapore · · Score: 1

    I can only think of two. What was the third lost in Asia?

  15. Re:why Facebook? on Facebook Apologizes For 'Year In Review' Photos · · Score: 1

    You can filter out 'authors' but not subjects. There's not a lot of point now. For example, everything today was done by Timothy. Filtering authors is the only reason I'm not still an AC.

  16. Re:why Facebook? on Facebook Apologizes For 'Year In Review' Photos · · Score: 3, Funny

    To filter Jon Katz stories, why else?

  17. Re:International Copyright on Quickflix Wants Netflix To Drop Australian VPN Users · · Score: 1

    More likely it was Adobe products. Cheaper to fly to LA, buy a copy and fly back than buy it locally.

  18. Re:It's too slow. on Ask Slashdot: Best Way to Learn C# For Game Programming? · · Score: 1

    everything is faster than java

    Especially your mom.

    Naturally, she won't do garbage collection.

  19. Re:Sounds awesome except.... on Patent Troll Ordered To Pay For the Costs of Fighting a Bad Patent · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You're also expected to be a subject-matter-expert on every application that crosses your desk. And remember, you have 2 minutes to review an application written by lawyers paid to write confusing applications.

  20. Re:but on Patent Troll Ordered To Pay For the Costs of Fighting a Bad Patent · · Score: 2

    Coffee hot enough to give 3rd degree burns to the genitals will probably get a lawsuit anywhere. That case gets trotted out as a negative example every time, but if you take the time to read up on it, it's the opposite.

  21. Re:"we provide network access as part of rent" on Ask Slashdot: Taking a New Tack On Net Neutrality? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. This is a technical solution to a marketing / admin issue. This should be handled by the suits, not at the network level. Probably some sort of group discount with the landlords / pimps getting a kick-back.

  22. I also have an alternate calendar on Terran Computational Calendar Introduces Minimonths, Year Bases, and Datemods · · Score: 2

    How about we have a meeting? I'll send you a request in Outlook.

    They had to provide redundant copies in case a module failed.
