  1. Re:Control of RF on Google To Test Build-It-Yourself Ara Smartphones In Puerto Rico · · Score: 1

    all you'd need is a third party module that breaks out the bus on to your traditional IO pins.

  2. The solution is... on Google To Test Build-It-Yourself Ara Smartphones In Puerto Rico · · Score: 1

    SystemD! done and done!

  3. Re:Tell me it ain't so, Elon! on Tesla To Produce 'a Few Million' Electric Cars a Year By 2025 · · Score: 1

    It depends how the pricing works out. If you could compare Tesla to the company Apple, when Apple started selling their devices at places like Walmart and Bestbuy, I thought here is a bad idea but then I noticed these vendors were selling it a lower price. I don't know how that came to be but who doesn't love lower prices. If the same pricing model holds, I welcome these dealers.

  4. more like a chevy DOLT on Chevrolet Unveils 200-Mile Bolt EV At Detroit Auto Show · · Score: 1

    that is one derpy looking front. is it that hard to make a decent looking face?

  5. Re:Here's a brilliant idea... on South Korea Says Nuclear Reactors Safe After Cyberattacks · · Score: 1

    It sounds like they did: "The control system of nuclear reactors are separated from external networks, and hacking into the system is fundamentally impossible," the presidential office said in a statement quoted by Yonhap news agency."
    I'd be more concerned with a Stuxnet type of attack.

  6. Re:Rubbish on Why Lizard Squad Took Down PSN and Xbox Live On Christmas Day · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not quite. It wouldn't be a truck. It would be other people's trucks, stolen, owners unaware, repeatedly circling the parking lot, maybe takes a ticket but backs out and go around for more.

  7. good news for ECC memory makers on Many DDR3 Modules Vulnerable To Bit Rot By a Simple Program · · Score: 1

    as for me, i'll wait for some real world examples of this possible exploit before i switch to ECC memeory, which would mean a new MB on top of the more exp memory.

  8. Re:Power from the human body on Texas Instruments Builds New Energy Technology For the Internet of Things · · Score: 1

    It ends just fine. we get free shelter, food and entertainment. it's like you never left your parent's place.

  10. Fight fire with fire, just TORRENT THE FUCKER on Top Five Theaters Won't Show "The Interview" Sony Cancels Release · · Score: 1

    and here is why we need an outlets like TPB to do the things that corporations and governments won't or can't do.

  11. Yey on Small Bank In Kansas Creates the Bank Account of the Future · · Score: 1

    Hackers can now get that instant access to stolen cash!

  12. Do or die time on Microsoft To Open Source Cloud Framework Behind Halo 4 Services · · Score: 1

    It's do or die time for MS's .Net and Azure so they need to throw down any and all incentive to get people to get on board. I applaud the new CEO's aggressive switch over to open source but it's a little too late. That moment has come and gone. My previous work place experienced this first hand. Potential buyers loved the product but not the platform that it was written in. They wanted linux/java, not MS/c++/c#.

  13. what more proof do you need? on "Barbie: I Can Be a Computer Engineer" Pulled From Amazon · · Score: 1

    the software industry is the way it is because of shit like this. companies and media is at the source of the problem.

    this is one industry that you'd think would be an equal playing field (ie. physical strength nor testosterone needed) and we have to drive them out with these stereotypes. sad really.

  14. Re:*Spoiler alert* on "Barbie: I Can Be a Computer Engineer" Pulled From Amazon · · Score: 1

    and then deals with sexist gamers threatening her livelihood and life for being a feminist game developer. too early?

  17. Re:Or just practicing for an actual job on Duke: No Mercy For CS 201 Cheaters Who Don't Turn Selves In By Wednesday · · Score: 1

    Much as I appreciate chemistry, I got a big fat C in Chem201... so, I'll try to bring it back to CS. [off topic, why in the hell did they make a CS student take chem? physics... I can really appreciate what with 3d games and such.]

    I think your "McCabe-Theil" would be in line with data structure/algorithm's Red-Black tree. I learned it, I even appreciated it but have I ever implemented it outside of school? hell no. Every language I use has it in their library.

    But it is important that we know how it works and know when and how to best apply it.

    I for one gives much shit as it could lead to my ass getting that 2am sev1 call. And it's because some jackass used an array and when there are billion inserts being done, leading to resizing delays.

    who are spending gobs of money on these ass hats.

    these guys are also the ones showing up at interviews and not able to answer simple questions like "what's the difference between a linked list and an array?".

  22. Re:Home storage - not for everyone on Denmark Faces a Tricky Transition To 100 Percent Renewable Energy · · Score: 1

    Look, I live in a semi-urban area and I really like the fact that I have natural gas and electricity being piped in. Less stuff in my house to break down and to have to maintain on my own. This is the same reason the "cloud" services are the rage. We like it when somebody else takes care of things for us. And if they can do it better than us and cheaper, even better.

    these things all shape a kid's perspective in life and what they end up pursuing. for me it was watching movies like war games that really got me think this is what i want to do. I wonder.. if the main character was a girl... would I not have pursued it?
