  1. sometimes hard to change title on Should Younger Developers Be Paid More? · · Score: 1

    Say you are the senior guy, an expert at perl, sql and java or something. You take a weekend to learn ... and a few hours
    at work to install the environment. But your title still is 1990s tech guy. And they still hire somebody who is supposed to be an expert in .
    But he actually hardly knows it any better than you since its so new.

  2. $99/year is too much on Amazon, Not Developers, Will Set New App Store's Prices · · Score: 1

    Why should there be any charge! Not nice to small developers :(

  3. Testing on The Care and Feeding of the Android GPU · · Score: 1

    It sounds like the Google engineer is taking the sane approach. He is trying stuff and testing the speed. Sounds like he'd try GPU if it helped.

  4. akamai on BT Content Connect May Impact Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    Sounds like Akamai

  5. super on IBM Makes a Super Memory Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    That's super-doubleplus good.

  6. acronym explained! on The DNSSEC Chicken & Egg Challenge · · Score: 1

    Did I just see an Slashdot article summary that explained the acronym ??!!!

  7. Two userids on Android Phones Get Virtualization · · Score: 1

    This sounds like overkill. How about two userids. The employer has the password the user "work" only.

  8. really? on Amazon Web Services Launches DNS Service · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "A reliable, cloud-based DNS service has been one of the most requested offerings by our customers" ... really?

  9. Re:Well, we've finished with the hard part on Sahara Solar To Power Half the World By 2050 · · Score: 1

    No kidding. PV panels on your roof seem WAY more sensible. You don't have to pay some utility. Sure the sun isn't constant in, say, Germany like the Sahara. But there are no transmissions losses or politics.

  10. Re:Web directories on Google Faces EU Probe Over Doped Search Results · · Score: 1

    I agree. I still like dmoz.

  11. page rank of *.google.com on Google Faces EU Probe Over Doped Search Results · · Score: 1

    You'd think the page rank of and *.google.com domain would have a pretty good page rank. Lots of links to it.

  12. Re:Yes on Apple, Microsoft, Google Attacked For Evil Plugins · · Score: 1

    Java's behavior is weird and annoying. I can only guess that they keep old versions just in case some website request it. But that seems unlikely. Hopefully they only keep they last, N, version of Java on your box and eventually start deleting.

  13. Re:Missing the point on Who Will Win Control of the Web? · · Score: 1

    I am pro freedom. Facebook users trade away some freedom when they use it. They probably aren't aware that they are. Its a tricky problem... banning people from Facebook doesn't promote freedom either. (Why is Facebook bad? It is growing so much it may soon "be the internet". Once company should not control the internet.)

  14. Re:Missing the point on Who Will Win Control of the Web? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hope Facebook dies.

  15. Re:How do we make sure? on Who Will Win Control of the Web? · · Score: 1

    Good idea!
    (really)

  16. LightPeek on New MacBook Pros To Sport Light Peak Technology · · Score: 1

    LightPeak is reportedly nearly as fast as the LightPeek protocol which is currently use for transmitting "peeks" of cleavage in close proximity. Common applications include viewing plumber butt-crack and looking at the waitress's cleavage as she leans over the wipe the table.

  17. Web App on Google, Microsoft Cheat On Slow-Start — Should You? · · Score: 1

    Well, this guy discovered something but wasted time he should have been working on his web app ;)

  18. Re:Please on Open-Source Social Network Diaspora Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I kinda agree... here are some others
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_social_network

    But, heck, if Diaspora has the mindshare maybe we should go with it... even if its not technically the greatest?

  19. Re:Doubt it on Open-Source Social Network Diaspora Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I saw The Social Network too.
    But now the main reason to join FB is because your cousins/colleagues/etc are there.
    That can change!

  20. Unmorph on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 1

    Its pretty easy to take a fun house image and unmorph it back into a the source image.
    Once somebody does the work and makes the first program that does it, anybody can unmorph.
    People would like to see the scans of celebs.

  22. Re:Benchmarks on Internet Explorer 9 Caught Cheating In SunSpider · · Score: 1

    Shows a problem with benchmarks in general. Too easy to game.

  23. Re:It's not mined out. on The Ascendancy of .co · · Score: 1

    Yes, its frustrating. I am trying to come with the a .com name and most of the a names are squatted (Registered but no website or godaddy.com website.)

  24. Re:Isn't that three-letter acronym taken? on CDE — Making Linux Portability Easy · · Score: 1
  25. Re:But outside the US? on Google Says 3rd Parties Would Be Liable For Java Infringement · · Score: 1

    Just curious, what do you use?
