  1. Family and promotion on Ask Slashdot: Why Did You Quit Your Last Job? · · Score: 1

    Left San Francisco to return to NYC. Probably not an exception.

  2. Not sure if it is worth it on The Disappearing American Grad Student (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Boss doesn't have one and he's a VP. Why should I pay for one?

  3. Mostly sarcastic? I see this concern as legitimate *today*. Years ago we had proof of concepts chatbots. Today they are practically a plugin for some webapp frameworks. Imagine what happens "years" from now. If AI was already there I imagine your post is from an AI giving us a false sense of hope... Like they're trying to distract us just long enough so they can... Weird... Why are there drones circling my house all of a sudden?

  4. Will it have a new Kinect? on Xbox Project Scorpio's Full Specs Revealed (eurogamer.net) · · Score: 1

    My current Kinect is broken. Review randomly in just dance. Wondering if I should invest in a replacement one or wait.

  5. Re: Breaking, or braking? on Tesla Rolling Out Autopilot Software Updates to 1,000 Cars (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Pssh. The Chameleon XLE has had emergency breaking standard since the 90s. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-ni...

  6. How is this better than "phone app" 2FA on U2F Security Keys May Be the World's Best Hope Against Account Takeovers (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I use the native 2FA feature for Gmail that leverages an app on any smartphone and it works great. No USB port required. https://www.google.com/landing...

  7. And may the water splashing be ever in your favor.

  8. Re: #2 says it all on Berkeley Researchers Examine Five Worst-Case Security Nightmares (berkeley.edu) · · Score: 1

    Not at all. It's my commentary on the summary's use of "super-intelligent" as opposed to just intelligent: "Scenario #2 imagines a super-intelligent A.I. which can predict and even manipulate the behavior of individuals"

  9. Re: #2 says it all on Berkeley Researchers Examine Five Worst-Case Security Nightmares (berkeley.edu) · · Score: 1

    You just say that because you are not super intelligent.

  10. Re: Fine Example. on Hackers Who Hit CIA Director Break Into Law Enforcement Tools (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    NSA likely writes WAF rules to explicitly block every exploit they find. That's the real treasure, their rule list.

  11. Who will watch the watchers? on E-Detective Spy Tool Used By Police and Governments Has Major Security Holes · · Score: 1

    Hackers.

  12. Why stop at characteristics? on Police Use DNA To Generate a Suspect's Face · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a dramatic murder gene failed defense in the 90s about people genetically programmed to murder? What if DNA analysis found this to be very true? What if you had certain gene patterns that matched historical prisoners that were found guilty of first degree murder? You know what I would do if we lived in a world like that? Learn how to obfuscate, change those DNA patterns. Then the decision is, do I give it away to everyone or only people that I trust would not murder someone. That power would be immeasurable.

  13. Our market research shows that our users prefer cats. Can you switch the monkeys to cats?

  14. YAHAI on A Protocol For Home Automation · · Score: 1

    Yet another home automation integrator? I'm looking into setting this up: openhab.org

  15. Re:Indians returning to India is old news on A Job Fair For Jobs In India — In California · · Score: 1

    Indians returning to India is old news. Not all Indians who come to America stay. Many return because they get home sick or they can't adjust. Many also return to India because they can get a better deal in India. For the same set of skills they can live better in India.

    Bingo. Parent is right about the "better deal". Middle class in India is not the same as middle class in America. Maids and cooks are common for middle class in India. In metro NYC, you are looking at $60/hour for a decent maid team, costing you at least $180 for a decent cleaning of a 1 bedroom apartment.

  16. Information Security on Ask Slashdot: CS Grads Taking IT Jobs? · · Score: 1

    With a CS background, I'm able to bridge multiple datasets together via APIs to secure my organization. Without CS, I would not have known it's possible. Market this.

  17. Re:Sounds like a good place to work on Making Facebook Self Healing · · Score: 1

    Totally. I'll never take this guy seriously. Jeans and a black turtleneck? Suit up!

  18. HI on Senate Votes To Turn Down Volume On TV Commercials · · Score: 3, Funny

    billy mays here. would you mind turning up the volume?

  19. Re:This is all from the Mumbai terror attacks on Indian Government Threatens RIM, Skype With Ban · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Bank robbers usually escape in cars so maybe we should ban automobiles to cut down on the number of bank robberies! Its' the same logic.

    To be fair, the automobiles have 15 days to comply with publishing who is in the car and coordinates of all travel.

  20. Re:Slower and slower on Google Bringing HTML5 To Gmail · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I recall this being Firefox's defense arguement (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/02/14/2154224).

    I have not analyzed Gmail's code, so I am not, with confidence, to state that Gmail is increasing memory usage to cache data.

    However, I have not noticed any, significant or insignificant, performance boost from Gmail at 300% memory usage at +4 hours versus Gmail at 100% memory usage at +0.25 hours. I am currently attempting to debug my issue by disabling individual labs, and comparing memory usage results after a significant time has passed with the Gmail tab open. This is by no means a proper scientific study, but I do have hope that the leaker(s) will be identified.

  21. Re:Slower and slower on Google Bringing HTML5 To Gmail · · Score: 2, Informative

    Agreed. With over 35 labs enabled, my gmail tab in the latest version of Chrome steadily increases its memory usage. I have repeatedly experienced a 300% increase in memory usage over a 4 hour period.

  22. Re:Thats not new on Google Bringing HTML5 To Gmail · · Score: 4, Informative

    There is a Gmail Lab for this feature: Inserting images by Kent T Allows you to insert images into a message body. You can upload and insert image files in your computer, or insert images by URLs. This lab will not work if you have offline enabled.

  23. Unlike the majority of companies in IT... on Twitter To Establish Information Security Program · · Score: 1

    Does this mean they are hiring?

  24. Re:Please let me use the same password on Please Do Not Change Your Password · · Score: 1

    American Express & Macy's online statement credit card charge both mandate a maximum of 8 characters. I take my frustration out at login with a 7 letter password phrase. They don't allow spaces.

  25. Evince to the rescue on New Method Could Hide Malware In PDFs, No Further Exploits Needed · · Score: 1

    Evince does not open cmd.exe. Evince runs on Windows.
