  1. Nvidia turn around? on Linus Torvalds Will Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Since the video, has Nvidia tried to turn things around and do better?

  2. Rule 239 on Bing Now Nearly As Good As Google — Says Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Rule of Acquisition 239 says: Never be afraid to mislabel a product.

  3. Privacy law disagrees on Universities Agree To Email Monitoring For Copyright Agency · · Score: 2

    Except in Canada you have to give them the right to monitor email or internet traffic as you do have reasonable expectation of privacy.

    Simply have to refuse to sign any paperwork which gives them the right to monitor. If they do monitor and try to do anything then they are basically providing evidence that makes your lawsuit very easy.

  4. Re:Is there a gender check in GIT? on Tackling Open Source's Gender Issues · · Score: 1

    I was pointing out that there's no gender check. They can feel free to submit under their names and nobody is going to decline patches just because you have a girl's name.

  5. Is there a gender check in GIT? on Tackling Open Source's Gender Issues · · Score: 1

    Is there a gender check in GIT? Is there a gender check in subversion? If I submit code under nothing more than a pseudonym then I have contributed to open source and taken part without a care in the world as to what my gender is. If I then get on freenode to talk to the developers; there's still no gender test. There's no gender test on reading the 'learn programing language X in 30 days'.

    So there's absolutely nothing stopping women from joining open source; so why then is there 'issues' and 'problems' doesnt sound like a problem to me. Simple fact is that women arent in open source because the $ is better elsewhere. Engineering and drafting scholarships worth $25,000 for women; large corporations with 'hiring quotas' that give women any wage they ask for regardless of skill in the fields they are considered lacking. Sexism in other fields draw technical women away from open source and getting open source into the same sexist $ offering to draw women is just absurd.

  6. Tin foil hats on Aerospace Corp Pays $2.5m To Settle Rogue Software Dev Case · · Score: 1

    ---Aerospace Corp. oversees many of the nation's most classified programs.

    ---Hunter died in August 2010 of natural causes while under criminal investigation, Daniels said. He was 56.

    ---The company said it discovered the fraud in 2008 when a third company inquired about Hunter's security clearance.

    Natural causes at 56 while living nicely? Oh ya?

  7. If brown people... on Greenpeace Breaks Into French Nuclear Plant · · Score: 0

    If brown people did it they'd be labelled terrorists and any associated organization would be a terrorist organization. Frankly I would agree with them as well. Yet I bet these fellas wont be in trouble.

  8. Nobody notices what I do until I dont do it. on Does Telecommuting Make You Invisible? · · Score: 1

    People in the office aren't be acknowledged for what they are doing neither; at best the person being interrupted by their boss asking if they are working, gets to point out what they are doing.

  9. Secunia doesnt pay anything. on So You Want To Be a Zero Day Exploit Millionaire? · · Score: 1

    Secunia's program doesn't offer any $ so why the fuck give them anything. ZDI offers basically nothing.

    There are a few places which offer decent cash and there are a few ebay-ish places which let you sell but they aren't that popular.

    Amazon says they want to offer everything... they should allow it and all we need to do is put them up there.

  10. Bipolar antarctica? on Cracks Signal Massive Iceberg Forming In Antarctica · · Score: 1

    Bipolar antarctica sad about recent news.

    Vendor lockin for the win?

  12. supply vs demand on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 1

    In the grand supply vs demand world. If they got rid of the student loan system there would be ridiculously fewer people getting an education and therefore less demand. So theoretically they would lower the cost of post-secondary by lots. Though at the same time that also means far fewer professors and far less research from universities. Far few educated people... in a growing world economy which has larger and larger demand for skilled workers.

    What a smart idea for the usa to do. I support ron paul but sadly i dont live in the usa and hope we socialize post-secondary.

  13. The past week on SAIC Loses Data of 4.9 Million Patients · · Score: 1

    Long story short my current job blows very badly. I have been looking at job postings for computer security positions. In the last week I have been seeing lots of SAIC postings.

    Please excuse short url below.

    Looks like they are hiring security people at a coincidental time. I wonder who got fired or if there was anyone to even get fired.

  14. Re:What other products on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 2

    Government isn't mandating that you buy health care -- just that you have it.

  15. Re:What other products on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    There are many examples of mandatory 'products' but how about the USA joins the rest of the 1st world countries and not have health care be a for-profit product but rather a non-profit service?

  16. Re:UEFI on Demystifying UEFI, the Overdue BIOS Replacement · · Score: 1

    The majority of mobo vendors have a line of mobos with uefi. It proves that they can do it and have the experience but the fact its so closed the neckbeards wont get behind it and they dont sell.

  17. UEFI on Demystifying UEFI, the Overdue BIOS Replacement · · Score: 2

    The only reason UEFI is overdue is not because they are slow in development. It's simply the fact that UEFI isn't an open standard. If UEFI was made an open standard every new computer in a month would all have UEFI.

  20. Re:A thought on IBM To Unveil Secure Open Wireless At Black Hat · · Score: 1

    As far as I understand WPA2 actually has a mechanism that disallows reading what is sent between each user and you need to rely on broadcasts and such to manage.

  21. A thought on IBM To Unveil Secure Open Wireless At Black Hat · · Score: 1

    What if you used proper WPA2 wifi but gave dhcp subnets of like 255.255.255.255 and then specifically set it such that you couldn't get routed between users. Should be pretty secure then?

  22. Re:What are you in for? on Swede Arrested For Building Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    In my nerd hope Prisoner 2 would be considered so awesome that nobody would pick on him.

  23. Human Resources on Have American Businesses Been Stranded By the MBAs? · · Score: 1

    The problem isnt the MBAs or the technical/production people. It's HR who don't have a clue what people need to be hired. They hire MBAs who cant function at their job. They hire CS majors as programmers and sysadmins when CS degrees have nothing to do with either functions.

    Dont blame the MBAs and dont blame the cs majors. Blame HR for being such failures. Headhunter and placement agencies are covering up HR failure. What businesses need to do is fix their HR hiring processes.

  24. Digital media on Copyright Common Sense From Telecom Ericsson · · Score: 1

    Fashion industry never got copyrights. Why? They were so easy to copy. If the fashion industry did get copyrights and "counterfeits" were banned. You basically would have everyone wearing armani $5000 suits. So those in power said... 'you are too easy to copy so no copyrights for you'

    Back then... songs and stuff were hard to copy... now they arent. Good by copyrights. Though admittedly this would be a hard sell. So it's a fair compromise is gross commerical copyright infringement stays illegal. Warez becomes legal.

  25. Open Source on RIM Responds To an Employee's Open Letter · · Score: 1

    If RIM would open source everything blackberry. How fast would RIM turn around? I bet 1 year time they'd push infront of iphone.
