  1. After the 4th release on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Lies Programmers Tell Themselves? · · Score: 1

    It's only a demo ....

  2. He should charge them on NSA Contractor Indicted Over Mammoth Theft of Classified Data (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    For off-site data backup storage.

  3. Let me get this straight .... on Donald Trump Signs Pledge To Crack Down On Internet Porn (pcworld.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He has one demographic he's ahead in, white men, and he wants to end internet porn? It's official August 1st Donald Trump conceded to Hillary Clinton.

  4. Microsoft helps? on Microsoft Will Help Iowa Caucuses Go High-Tech · · Score: 1

    So 2 cognitive dissonances in 1 headline.

    Microsoft will help. That's just a strange phrase to me, not quite an oxymoron, but close. Or maybe it's help like mercury "helped" syphilis.

    Microsoft High-Tech. Well, not dissonance, that phrase is just anachronistic. It would be just fine to have said that in 1988.
     

  5. This 'Post' on 25% of Charter Schools Owe Their Soul To the Walmart Store · · Score: 1

    Why are there so many 'single quotes' in this 'Post'?

    Are 'double quotes' just for rich people? Or are we telling the interpreter to 'ignore' and special characters inside them?

       

  6. Gilcee prints on acid free paper behind UV acrylic on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For Printing Digital Photos? · · Score: 1

    I feel obligated to mention these guys. I wrote the image processing workflow software they use. (They also do the printing and framing fulfillment for the framed paper and canvas products for some of the other big image print players mentioned in other posts above, but I can't tell you which ones.)

  7. Re:In other words on 'Peak Wood' Offers Parallels For Our Time · · Score: 1

    Surely anything -anything- is preferable to losing the large majority of world population ?

    Uhhh why is that again? You've met people right? People suck.

  8. I can suz google? on Google Indexing In Near-Realtime · · Score: 1

    I remember when I worked on this back in the turn of the century, it was called GridIR back then. http://www.gir-wg.org/index.html A subscription based indexing/search/collection engine.

  9. Re:Permanently disabled geeks also exist on Better Tools For Disabled Geeks? · · Score: 1

    I lost the use of one my arms in a motorcycle accident at 22. I've found something like this along with one handed keyboard settings helps a lot: http://gamingmouse.com/weapon.php?pid=31

  10. Re:from TFA on Saudi Arabia Begins To Realize Supercomputer Ambitions · · Score: 2, Funny

    A supercomputing center with no women? It's the same in the US!

  11. Fault Tolerance on Browser Extension Defeats Internet Eavesdropping · · Score: 1

    Sounds like we are going from the "Two generals problem" to the "Byzantine generals problem" (or more specifically the "Commander and Lieutenants" solution to that problem) the latter of which can let a certain amount of generals be compromised and still have the desired outcome. Hey, math wins again! Was Charlie involved?

  12. Re:Sweet on The Beginnings of a TLD Free-For-All? · · Score: 1

    Or how about my dreams of a .cowboyneal TLD? Tell you what you can have cowboyneal.isgay and I'll take isgay.cowboyneal. Yours is for most normal folk while mine is for the Yoda speaking /. crowd. And for the 80 year old crowd? cowboyneal.isAgay
  13. Re:Criminal prosecution? on Cracking a Crypto Hard Drive Case · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our Octuple-ROT-13 overlords.

  14. Re:Unravelling or being unwoven? on Portrait of an Identity Thief · · Score: 1

    This has been around forever. Even the Romans had the phrase, "ubi non accusator, ibi non judex." But then again their empire did fall...

  15. Re:password... Cartoonified .... on Just How Paranoid Are You? · · Score: 1
