  1. plastic is for junk on Ask Slashdot: For What Are You Using 3-D Printing? · · Score: 0

    most anything truly useful you'd make would be out of wood (and BIG) or metal. Forget a 3D printer and get some wood or machining gear. You could then make plastic things too

  2. Re:IE? on HP Researchers Disclose Details of Internet Explorer Zero Day · · Score: 1

    I have to use IE on windows every fucking working day, because certain "enterprise" vendors only make management shit (with flash, of course) that runs on windows. And what's funny is these companies products either use open source OS or core open source services on their products, without fail.

  3. Re: Lot of test. on Students Win Prize For Color-Changing Condoms That Detect STDs · · Score: 3, Funny

    the Domination community also has that problem, and you AGREE with Me DON'T YOU, You Little Sniveling Twink

  4. Re:systemd on Interview: Ask Linus Torvalds a Question · · Score: 0

    Your false fantasy gets modded "informative"?

    No, Poettering and other systemd developers are butthurt by Linus' criticisms of their crappy code recently.

  5. Re:It just makes the router worse. on Wi-Fi Router's 'Pregnant Women' Setting Sparks Vendor Rivalry In China · · Score: 1

    Parting fools from money not pointless at all, I have a bigger demographic in mind with my idea, the "Testicular Safety Mode", because chicks love guys that can "cum like a porn star", I have spam proving it

  6. Re:DHCPv6 is NOT a central component of ipv6 on IT Pros Blast Google Over Android's Refusal To Play Nice With IPv6 · · Score: 1

    DHCP doesn't update your DNS server, it's not a part of DHCP. Things such as Dynamic DNS for example can do it, as does Microsofts DNS Client (which often double dips assignments I've found in every place I've ever worked that used it, by the way)

  7. IE? on HP Researchers Disclose Details of Internet Explorer Zero Day · · Score: 0

    some people still use that crap?

  8. DHCPv6 is NOT a central component of ipv6 on IT Pros Blast Google Over Android's Refusal To Play Nice With IPv6 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    DHCPv6 is a bad bolt-on, IPV6 always had superior solutions designed since the 90s (when it had another name)

  9. Re: Doesn't matter, so why do it? on June 30th Leap Second Could Trigger Unexpected Issues · · Score: 1

    nothing arbitrary about it, compliance auditing for various standards exists already. you are complaining about a solved problem and a standard way of keeping time.

  10. Re:Who cares? on Security Oversights and Complacency Set the Stage For Killers' Escape · · Score: 0

    I don't want to spend the money to keep such a person, just kill that kind and reform the appeal process so that kind of garbage disposal is very cheap

  11. Re:is it breakthrough or not... on An Extra-Large Nanocage Molecule For Quantum Computing · · Score: 1

    the other problem is that we don't know how to properly set up presently intractable problems on a quantum computer; they *might* be a breakthrough for problem solving

  12. Re: UK needs to be run by corporations like Americ on Where Is Europe's Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    The SUV didn't exist when they started their decline with the import flood beginning 1969

  13. Re:At least they got one thing right.. on Kim Jong Un Claims To Have Cured AIDS, Ebola and Cancer · · Score: 1

    We cannot know, as Kim Jong-Un's rod is well protected by adipose tissue against the elements and against viewing

  14. Re:Zombies or fail over? on 1 In 3 Data Center Servers Is a Zombie · · Score: 3, Informative

    yes, but these researchers were ignoring traffic below a certain threshold.

  15. Re: UK needs to be run by corporations like Americ on Where Is Europe's Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    Wrong, Detroit designed cars that people didn't want to buy, nothing downstream of that made any difference.

  16. Re:3 page "paper" not all that insightful. on 1 In 3 Data Center Servers Is a Zombie · · Score: 1

    Moreover the idle power of systems vs. under normal load can be three to one.

    Besides failover there are "swing" servers where virtual machines or services are migrated while upgrades done elsewhere. There are "staging" servers that become busy while new software being rolled out but might otherwise be idle for months.

    Note the power draw of an idle server can be a third or less what the normal load is.

    The twats that wrote this paper obviously aren't in the business.

  17. Re:Zombies or fail over? on 1 In 3 Data Center Servers Is a Zombie · · Score: 2

    wrong, you don't understand how it's usually done these days

    it only need have the ability to access a SAN where replicated information from the primary server exists

    you will not see any data movement to the machine

  18. Re:Inevitable escalation of a broken philosophy on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 1

    Much of that superior firepower would lead to severe backlash if used on home soil, not to mention dissension in the ranks if ordered to fire on mass of citizens. once even ten percent of the armed forces disagree, it's over the government.

  19. poster child on Kim Jong Un Claims To Have Cured AIDS, Ebola and Cancer · · Score: 5, Funny

    The medicinal herb also cures diabetes and morbid obesity; just look at the chiselled energetic body of the leader!

  20. Re:Depends on your perspective and tastes on Jimmy Wales: London Is Better For Tech Than "Dreadful" Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    oh please, the cuisine is the London is non-existent, they don't have any. The weather varies from sucky to horrible. The beer is mediocre except what comes from other parts of the UK, ditto for other liquor. The government run television and radio is hardly a bastion of culture.

  21. Re:Ignore Time on June 30th Leap Second Could Trigger Unexpected Issues · · Score: 1

    Only photons get to say that; or they would if their birth, existence and obliteration didn't happen in the same instant in their reference frame

  22. Re:Doesn't matter, so why do it? on June 30th Leap Second Could Trigger Unexpected Issues · · Score: 1

    Not nonsense, time accuracy to milliseconds is indeed important in financial and database applications. More to the point, keeping systems in sync well enough for that is a long solved problem.

  23. Re:Nope. Your argument is a historical fallacy. on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 1

    Eh? High powered rifle, $250 or less. Ammo, $80 per 100 rounds. Cleaning kit, $20.

  24. Re:NO, NO, NO, NO, this is a BAD idea on Should Nuclear Devices Be Kept On Hand To Protect Against Near Earth Objects? · · Score: 1

    Vaporizing a part of asteroid with surface detonation or below surface penetrator would produce thrust

    Orbiting objects is a solved problem. So is orbiting objects for long period of time.

    Soviets did design nuclear weapons that could stay in orbit indefinitely as part of their FOBS system

    We have thousands of nuclear weapons in this world on standby, your so-called pit intact and read for arming and launch in minutes.

    Surface detonations on earth produce massive amounts of fallout. Those in atmosphere do not. There is a particular range of altitude where EMP is a concern.

  25. Re:Always include on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Search Engines Left That Don't Try To Think For Me? · · Score: 2

    if computers become self aware, maybe one benefit will be if enough people put a minus in front of a celebrity tart's name Skynet terminates them
