    Bjarne Stroustrup and Lennart Poettering have a lot in common....

  2. Re:Hakuna matata on North America Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    not true, firewalls can do wondrous things nowadays to isolate

  3. Re:The addresses are there... but still... on North America Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    Not lack of skill, things are very nice when you can use real addresses for everything. I worked at national lab that is still that way even now

  6. Re: Atomospheric toxins. on First Human Colonies Should Be Among Venus' Clouds · · Score: 2

    Sure 16 cm of borosilicate glass could do the job of holding back 1300 PSI but where is the air conditioner going to dump the heat? And people will go outside through a "lock" in a "suit" to do what on plains of hardened lava? That's a weird kind of hot loving robot's job, exploring the surface of venus.

  7. Re:Really ? on First Human Colonies Should Be Among Venus' Clouds · · Score: 1

    No, some of the Soviet Venus probe lasted more than an hour, some less https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  8. Re:Recycle them, Look online on how to. Gosh on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Empty Toner Cartridges? · · Score: 1

    I would argue that a slashdot article with question is one way to "go check online", one may learn things that do not appear in the first couple dozen ines of a google search.

    Many communities are hosting "recycling" events that not only take electronics but also printer cartridges, for example. My town has those in late spring and summer. I don't see that in first few pages of google search.

  9. Re:How do we know we've only discovered 1% of NEAs on What If You Could See Asteroids In the Night Sky? · · Score: 3, Informative

    data from impact areas on moon, discovery rate, increase in counts with improvement in instruments are some factors:

    indeed, twitter is twats tweeting to twits

  12. Re:plastic is for junk on Ask Slashdot: For What Are You Using 3-D Printing? · · Score: 1

    Bad news, manufacturers found some of those parts got too hot and cracked in the late 90s to mid 00s, so had to redesign some of those parts to have metal areas in them at higher cost

  13. Re:plastic is for junk on Ask Slashdot: For What Are You Using 3-D Printing? · · Score: 1

    yes and as I mentioned some of that stuff had problems cracking with age and so manufacturers had to redesign putting metal in certain areas of those parts, e.g. Fords infamous ABS manifold problem of late 90s to about 2004

  14. Re:plastic is for junk on Ask Slashdot: For What Are You Using 3-D Printing? · · Score: 1

    As manager of engineering group that did rapid prototyping as part of our design process I had such working for me.

  15. Re:Um.. we don't see it as advancing our career on The Programmer's Path To Management · · Score: 1

    Nonsense, old people with heavy industry experience (insurance, trading, e-commerce) who know the Java or C++ can make serious coin.

    Also former pure developers who can bridge development and operations and architecture can make big money; that's what I'm doing and I'm over 50. Yes you have to keep current.

  16. Re:Moment of silence on SMS Co-Inventor Matti Makkonen Dead At 63 · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of everyone should send each other 160 characters of spaces, texting silence

  17. Re:Couldn't summarize it in 140 characters? on SMS Co-Inventor Matti Makkonen Dead At 63 · · Score: 1

    Many services (like Twitter) reserve 20 characters for user address

  18. Re:Who cares? on Security Oversights and Complacency Set the Stage For Killers' Escape · · Score: 1

    conviction in a court of law AND proper appeal process that doesn't drag, that's is due process. News for you, the Founding Fathers were ok with due process that ended in death sentence.

  19. Re:Nude == Rude? on Detecting Nudity With AI and OpenCV · · Score: 1

    Your knowledge of the real world fails, I can assure you strict conservative Christians have extra-marital sex and unwanted pregnancies.

    Typical geek, you are

  20. Re:Clearly bitcoin is the answer on Greek Financial Crisis Is an Opportunity For Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    That's the point, there are three or more options when a foolish person thinks there are only two given him

  21. Re:plastic is for junk on Ask Slashdot: For What Are You Using 3-D Printing? · · Score: 1

    Eh, did just that and could "fix" small errors in prototypes the olde fashoined way, cutting and patching and grinding etc.

  22. Re:plastic is for junk on Ask Slashdot: For What Are You Using 3-D Printing? · · Score: 1

    true not immediately liquid, it doesn't have a true melting point but goes more and more to jelly.

    well we can talk about nylon intake manifolds, Ford made them for quite a few years but customers found they'd crack. So Ford replaced them with one that had aluminum in a few strategic places. cost reduced crap, that's what our civilization is all about.

    flawed conclusion, the sex ed was given to "puritans" and non-puritans alike. it says nothing about puritan's rates

  24. Re:plastic is for junk on Ask Slashdot: For What Are You Using 3-D Printing? · · Score: 1

    You can just give the prototyping shop a file, don't need to make a plastic model.

    As for making enclosure for abs plastic thing that broke, that's largely nonsense. The cost comparison for just ordering normal molded replacement vs. the time to CMM out and print a thing is enormous. Try making even a "skin" for your cell phone and get back to me.

  25. Re:plastic is for junk on Ask Slashdot: For What Are You Using 3-D Printing? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    you're funny, with its 105 degree C transition temperature ABS can't even be safely used for a stove knob or a light fixture or under the hood of a car.

    Makes great yoda heads though, or other toy models
