  1. Litigation on Interviews: Ask Fark Founder Drew Curtis a Question · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hi Drew, what was the closest you ever came to shutting down FARK, due to litigation, threats from idiots you made famous, boredom, $$$ shortage etc?

  2. systemd rules!!! on Ubuntu 15.04 Released, First Version To Feature systemd · · Score: -1, Troll

    I don't know what all the fuss is about. If you approach it with an open mind it makes perfect sense.
    The unreasonable spoilt tubby pasty basement dwellers who spew poison over systemd need to live in the real world for a while.

    We've adopted it on an increasingly large scale and we are seeing the rewards already.

  3. Re:Warning!!! on 'Let's Encrypt' Project Strives To Make Encryption Simple · · Score: 2
    lol. Thats exactly what I thought when I saw the logos on the right hand side.

    Cisco: hey guys whatcha doin. listening to music huh? Yeah I love me some hippedy-hop music.

  4. Re:Encryption done right isn't simple... on 'Let's Encrypt' Project Strives To Make Encryption Simple · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Making it simple will go a long way to avoiding PEBCAK problems. Simpler processes give less opportunity for human error.

  5. Warning!!! on 'Let's Encrypt' Project Strives To Make Encryption Simple · · Score: 5, Funny

    Having conversations that your government can't eavesdrop on is tantamount to terrorism.

    You have been warned.

  6. Like Scientology... on Developers and the Fear of Apple · · Score: -1, Troll

    Criticize apple and you will be hounded. It may not come back to bite you today or tomorrow, but you are marked, and they are patient.

  7. Hes talking shit, as usual on Gabe Newell Understands Half-Life Fans, Not Promising Any Sequels · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The only reason we would go back and do a 'super classic' kind of product is if a whole bunch of people internally...

    Yeah never mind the gamertards out there waving their dads wallets at you begging you to empty them.

  8. Google is an advertising company on Google Code Disables New Project Creation, Will Shut Down On January 25, 2016 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Everything else is just an attempt to grab personal data. What did you think would happen?

    All their products should be thought of as experiments with a shelf life.

  9. 128 GB ought to be enough on Intel Announces Xeon D SoC Line Based On Broadwell Core Architecture · · Score: 2

    What advantages would this CPU have over say... a train, which I can also afford?

  10. Re:Our local time capsule... on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 1

    Whomever put the laser disk in the time capsule thought they were being all futuristic and stuff.

    Then can you tell me what data storage method will still be in use in 50 or 100 years time? Without "being all futuristic and stuff".

  11. Re:only ancient encryption not breakable by fast c on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 1

    There is no physical law that ties energy consumption to computing power. Efficiency increases, new concepts etc will take care of the that.

  12. Re:Happy Saturday from The Golden Girls on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 0

    I'm pretty sure you are confusing "Golden Girls" with the comedy "Benson" that ran from 1979 to 1986.

  13. Re:That is what VM's are for on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 1

    lol. That put a smile on my face. You are either a jibbering fucktard or a comedy genius.

  14. Re:Not everything is worth saving on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 1

    And its up to future historians to decide what was worth preserving. You seem confused over the point being discussed.

  15. Re:Cerf on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 2

    Nothing to do with DRM. If the DRM scheme/keys are preserved then whats the difference. And besides in 50 years time refrigerators will have more computing power than todays data centers and devices will crush todays DRM like it was nothing.

  16. Re:Not everything is worth saving on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Not everything needs to be preserved for future historians

    With respect, what is and what isn't worth preserving is up to future historians to decide. A bit chicken and eggish but there you are.

  17. Our local time capsule... on Vint Cerf Warns Against 'Digital Dark Age' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I remember our Mayor presided over the opening of a 25 year old time capsule put there by the local schools. Inside was a lazer disc. When he asked to view the contents of it, nobody could find a device to play it. Vint is right. And its not just a DRM thing, its a lack of standards thing too.

  18. Would French not have worked? on Paramedics Use Google Translate While Delivering Baby · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No. Apparently the lady spoke Swahili not French. Did you even read the summary you moron?

  19. Bullshit Samsung on Samsung Smart TVs Injected Ads Into Streamed Video · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It was an accident? So all this ad injection tech was a typo by some developer? lol. Why is it that the more popular a tech company gets the more of a dick it becomes? Is that some sort of business law? Samsung's trustworthiness is zero as far as I'm concerned.

  20. See what you did Slashdot? on LinkedIn Study: US Attracting Fewer Educated, Highly Skilled Migrants · · Score: 1

    In my experience (as a dev team lead and interviewer) foreign workers are generally more educated, more productive and more willing to got the extra mile than the local self-entitled bunch.
    Now because of your whiny "teamstering" here on Slashdot, the visa numbers wil probably go down, hurting US business.

  21. Wouldn't time be better spent... on Cops 101: NYC High School Teaches How To Behave During Stop-and-Frisk · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... teaching the cops how not to alienate the people?

  22. Why is it that.... on After Silk Road 2.0 Bust, Eyes Turn To 'Untouchable' Decentralized Market · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Some people think that because its on the web then it ahs no real world effects. Unfortunatly a lot of privacy types here are quietly rooting for these silk road guys, the guys who deal to anyone, kids included. They don't care who buys their stuff. But if a dealer was standing outside a school dealing to the students they would go crazy and call the cops, and rightly so.

  23. What did you expect.. on New Crash Test Dummies Reflect Rising American Bodyweight · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ... from our country that now judges food quality in calories per dollar?

    Its disgusting seeing my nation turning into a bunch of blubber-pods.

  24. Re:Who cares about the W3C on It's Official: HTML5 Is a W3C Standard · · Score: 1

    Uh No. Sure Google and MS etc have seats on the board, but it does not consist entirely of browser vendors.

  25. Who cares about the W3C on It's Official: HTML5 Is a W3C Standard · · Score: 1

    They are always the last to recognize standards. Everyone else has moved on. The W3C is run like a government bureaucracy, too slow, no real-world pressures on them to up the pace, and no accountability. Who gives a shit what they elevate or recognize any more.
