  1. Please Tweet at @SamsungMobile about it on Samsung's Upcoming Galaxy S8 Flagship Smartphone Won't Have a Headphone Jack: Report (sammobile.com) · · Score: 1

    We still have a chance to stop the stupidness... I'm tweeting to @SamsungMobile with #keeptheheadphonejack and letting them know I'll be switching to LG. Maybe public embarassment is enough to stop the madness.

  2. I'm just amazed a drone has enough on Alphabet Partners With Chipotle To Deliver Burritos Using Drones (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm just amazed a drone has enough lift to carry a 17lb burrito.

    So basically... back to LXC containers? Or am I missing something. Time to RTFA

  5. Stupid. Sensationalist headline. on Trump Calls For Russia To Cyber-Invade the United States To Find Clinton's 'Missing' Emails (gawker.com) · · Score: 0

    I encourage everyone to actually go watch the context of what he said. I'm a Gary voter BTW, if that matters.

  6. It's really important to *NOT* Minify the BOR on 'Fourth Amendment Caucus' Aims To Fight Government Surveillance (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    It is EXTREMELY important not to minimalize the Amendments. At some point, we began to make concessions in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Amendments, weakening the entire document and eroding our rights. The 1st was attacked by politically correct morons, the 2nd was attacked by history-illiterate liberals, and the 4th was attacked by overbearing conservatives. Even if you disagree with the provisions, WE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION via amendments. Until such things are passed, the Constitution and Bill of Rights should be heralded as the Ultimate Law of the Land, or we'll continue to have our rights eroded away!

  7. It's Heartbreaking you're not in Jail on Clinton: It's 'Heartbreaking' When IT Workers Must Train H-1B Replacements (computerworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's Heartbreaking you're not in Jail.

    Obviously executive management has no clue how to grow their business.

    I don't know whether or not someone is threatening me with... safe sex or not?

  10. But does the "Pro" model have an ethernet port? on Apple To Launch Thinner, Lighter MacBook Pro Models With OLED Touch Bar, Touch ID In Fall (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple's war on ports is annoying. There's not enough wireless spectrum for me to transfer files at gigabit speeds in anywhere but the middle of a wheat field.

  11. So essentially he's saying he's already better tha on Facebook Promises It Won't Mess With Voters' Minds (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    So essentially he's saying he's already better than CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC who DO filter stories that don't fit their political agendas..

  12. Just because you disagree doesn't mean you silence on Why Does Twitter Refuse To Shut Down Donald Trump? (vortex.com) · · Score: 1

    Just because you disagree doesn't mean you silence someone jackass. That's immature. If your argument is valid and true, then make your point, and don't whine about the other person getting airtime.

  13. Really need SIDH ECDSA ASAP on Quantum Computer Security? NASA Doesn't Want To Talk About It (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Really need SIDH ECDSA ASAP... Nothing seems to have been officiated as of yet though :/

  15. Traffic Lights that aren't as stupid on Ask Slashdot: What Single Change Would You Make To a Tech Product? · · Score: 1

    As I approach an empty intersection, the light should turn green! I can't imagine the amount of fossil fuel this would save.

  16. Doubling the number of executives 1/x^2 on Microsoft Invests $1 Billion In 'Holistic' Security Strategy (darkreading.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Applying the inverse square law... means 1/4 of the productivity.

  17. Re:Awesome, now stop the War on Ports on Tim Cook: Apple Won't Create 'Converged' MacBook and iPad (independent.ie) · · Score: 1

    Well... On the left side. Definitely on on the lid. Probably not in the middle of the keyboard.

    Plenty of manufacturers have figured out how to do this, certainly Apple can.

  18. Awesome, now stop the War on Ports on Tim Cook: Apple Won't Create 'Converged' MacBook and iPad (independent.ie) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Just bought a MacBook, because OSX is the ultimate Unix development platform. But I also had to buy a Gig-E dongle, and if you buy a MacBook Air, you have to buy a USB-C dongle, and an Ethernet Dongle, and none of your thunderbolt accessories work anymore.

    The dudes at the Apple store say, "everything will be wireless eventually" well that's a great theory, but 1) It's not wireless right now 2) Even if it were, in a high density office environment, there is simply not enough wireless spectrum allocated in the USA for 200 users in a 35,000 ft^2 space to have a Gig-E wireless connection.

    So stop the stupidity. Gig-E ports should be standard on your "Pro" models. Consumer or Home models, I understand the philosophy, but not on the Pro.

  19. Dog + Shotgun on Ask Slashdot: Linux-Based Home Security · · Score: 1

    When you are *present* on your property, a dog and a gun are simply the best protection for the price. A dog is equivalent to an advanced machine learning system that can tell when things are out of the normal. A pump action Mossberg has an incredibly low mtbf. The best approach to security is layerd: Dog, shotgun, emergency plan, and basic security system. Don't try to overcomplicate it!

    Not to be "that guy" but I thought airliners cruised about 600ish mph... which is about 1000kph.
