  1. More Videos on GNU/Linux Desktops with No User Knowledge Needed (Video) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's with all the useless video garbage?

  2. Re:The Barbarians are at the Gates! on Microsoft Open Sources Edge JavaScript Code, Plans Linux Port (windows.com) · · Score: 1

    You lose points on your comment because you did not use "M$" or "Micro$loth" as a minimum. And for Neck-Beard Goodness, you should have referred to your computer as "boxen".

  3. Re:cost and benifit on Antivirus Software Could Make Your Company More Vulnerable (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Have a nice day, but please don't come again. Idiot.

  4. Re:Agreed on Alfred Poor Talks About Health Wearables at CES (Video) · · Score: 1

    I have to wonder if you can be forced to wear one of those as a condition of employment?

  5. Re:because MONEY on Google Claims a TOS Violation On RouteBuilder For Using the Map API (medium.com) · · Score: 2

    And why would this be an issue? Google gives away free use of the Maps API under certain restrictions. Why, being the developer, owner, and indeed the host of all the Google Maps infrastructure, shouldn't they be able to restrict people without commercial licenses from competing with their products? Google is not a commune, it's a company.

  6. RouteBuilder does not have a commercial licence on Google Claims a TOS Violation On RouteBuilder For Using the Map API (medium.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    RouteBuilder is not Open Source, the site says:

    Q: I'm building a website that would benefit from some of the features of RouteBuilder. Will you give me the source code for free?

    A: I'm sorry, I'm not interested in giving away the source code behind this website for free. However, I am open to selling a license to use it.

    Free use of Google Maps in applications comes with limits on how you can use it, and how many times you can hit the Google server for free. More than likely RouteBuilder exceeded these limits and Google asked RouteBuilder to purchase a licence, which they declined to do.

    This is not news.

  7. Re:cost and benifit on Antivirus Software Could Make Your Company More Vulnerable (csoonline.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I ran XP and later Win7 with nothing more than Microsoft Security Essentials, and never had an infection. Ran CCleaner and Malwarebytes regularly and never found a thing.

  8. I just called you a WAAAAAAAAAAAAMBULANCE. Should be arriving shortly.

  9. Maybe, maybe not. Survey numbers are often "fuzzy" on Majority of Americans OK With Warrantless Internet Surveillance (ap.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I suppose "technically" 54% is a majority, but it's not a landslide. Also, I wonder if wording of the questions and / or scenarios might change this number? Sure, most people want to fight "terrorists", but get into more detail about the invasiveness of the surveillance, and people might have different ideas.

  10. And yet millions of people do not have that problem.

  11. No story bias here... on Russia Cancels All Moon Missions Till 2025 (sputniknews.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Nice unbiased "story". It's always fun to read the editorials at Slashdot.

  12. Re:How about a link? on Discogs Turns Record Collectors' Obsessions Into Big Business · · Score: 1

    That's because Slashdot "editors" don't know anything about click-bait AstroTurf.

  13. Well Researched Story on Robot Mule Put Out To Pasture By Marine Corps (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The "article" such that it is, is not much longer than the Slashdot "summary". Any chance of some editorial work on these "stories"? More linkies?

  14. No Fly Zones on Drone Ban Extends 30 Miles Around DC, Per FAA (wusa9.com) · · Score: 1

    There are a number of ways to look at "no-fly zones", principally NOTOMs. But for a good FREE visual, go to SkyVector. the maps will show all "TFRs" - Temporary Flying Restrictions, as well as permanent flying restrictions.

  15. That's just stupid on so many layers.

    And that's where the problem with the story is: Who, especially a "black hat" would make such an approach or advise their "marketing" team to do so? I find it difficult to believe.

    Not saying it didn't happen, but I think it's suspect. It's possible that it's a "false flag". Or perhaps it's completely made up by someone at RaspberryPi? Why would they censor the name of the offending company? Wouldn't they want people to know who's doing this sort of thing?

    Too many questions to buy this completely.

  16. Enchaladas? on NASA Rings Out 2015 With Close Looks At Ceres and Enceladus (examiner.com) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I like enchiladas...

  17. Delivery 30 days after awarding of contract...

    Good luck with that.

  18. I attended Reed College in Portland (http://www.reed.edu/) and obtained my Masters at the University of Oregon.

    I assume you attended the University of Phoenix...

  19. Isn't the whole point of thesis work that you find some novel solution to a problem through your own research not enlisting others to do it for you?

    No.

  20. Mozilla has lost its way. on Mozilla Document Shows Firefox OS Tablet, TV Stick, Router, Keyboard Computer · · Score: 1, Troll

    I'm sorry, but I installed Firefox on my phone just to have browser options and support Open Source, but it sucked so bad, I knew I would never use it, and was afraid its extreme suction would implode my phone. Thus I uninstalled it.

    Mozilla has lost its way.

  21. An idea for Mozilla... on Mozilla Document Shows Firefox OS Tablet, TV Stick, Router, Keyboard Computer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've always wanted a lightweight browser with fast JS and page rendering, good memory management, and a well audited code base. Maybe Mozilla can work on something like this?

  22. Nothing to see. Move along. on Software Error Releases Up To 3,200 Inmates Early (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Folks, most of these "early releases" were around 45 days early. Nothing to see. Move along.

  23. Weed... on Drug Case In Ireland Has Fingerprints of Carnegie Mellon's Attack On Tor · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    By the way, in Washington (where I live), Colorado, and very soon Oregon, you can buy weed in regulated stores in shopping malls and downtown hipster hangouts, take it home and toke to your heart's content, and answer the door to a cop who will tell you to turn your music down and then go away.

  24. Silk Road? on Drug Case In Ireland Has Fingerprints of Carnegie Mellon's Attack On Tor · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The Silk Road dude went beyond the line. He didn't just try (and succeed) at building a "dark market", he tried to have people killed. Now, some may dispute this, and the paranoid conspiracy nutters will say it's all fabricated, but I believe the facts will come out in the trial, and it will be shown that the Silk Road dude crossed over to the dark side and became a sociopathic asshole.

  25. Actually...no. My house is owned by a trust. My vehicles are owned by a corporation. As are my machine guns. You've got to do considerable digging to associate my possessions to me. Even my username isn't real.

    First of all, bullshit. Second of all, the officers of your LLC and trusts (which very well may be YOU) are a public record. Don't think that I can't find you, especially if you pilot your drone into my car on the road, my plane in the are, or crash land it in my yard.
