  1. Re:Ancient Greeks invented thermometers on The Galileo Thermometer Was Not Invented By Galileo · · Score: 2

    It does not count: they had not patented it.

  2. Re:The width of a virus on Florida Researchers Create Shortest Light Pulse Ever Recorded · · Score: 1

    7.90791129 × 10-7 inches!

  3. Re:So what's the plan, Theo? on OpenBSD's De Raadt Slams Red Hat, Canonical Over 'Secure' Boot · · Score: 2

    A manual could get lost. What's about printing the key on M/B itself, like they do it with MAC ID? It better be some kind of bar code (RSA-4096 wold be tough to type in). Or (and?) BIOS/EFI could have a dedicated page where it shows the whole key in a hand-help scanner friendly format. But in this case the snapshot could leak to the internets.

  4. Vickie Mendoza Diagonal for SSDs on Hybrid Drives Struggling In Face of SSDs · · Score: 1

    http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/05/the-hot-crazy-solid-state-drive-scale.html

    To quote the above:
    Thing is, SSDs are so scorching hot that I'm willing to put up with their craziness.

  5. Yes, kinda, sorta.... on Minecraft Mod Adds Emulated 6502 Processor · · Score: 1

    It can run Terminator.

  6. Yay! Virtual Schwarzenegger! on Minecraft Mod Adds Emulated 6502 Processor · · Score: 1

    Has Arnie's code been open sourced yet?
    I woul to run it in this emulator.

  7. Re:a great OS with a piss-poor text editor on Emacsy: An Embeddable Toolkit of Emacs-like Functionality · · Score: 1

    Writing a good editor for Emacs... Sounds like a good project!

  8. Re:anyone see the flying pigs outside? on Microsoft Releases ASP.NET MVC Under the Apache License · · Score: 1

    BSD?

  9. New Slashdot on Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to SlashdotTV! (Video) · · Score: 1

    Now with blackjack and hookers!

  10. Re:A Brave New World on 'Of Course We Are In a Post-PC World,' Says Ray Ozzie · · Score: 4, Funny

    You don't have a small kid, do you?

  11. Coming soon to a TSA booth near you! on Sheffield Scientists Have Revolutionized the Electron Microscope · · Score: 2

    We want to see your electron clouds

  12. Be a real Jedi, do CLFS instead on Linux From Scratch 7.1 Published · · Score: 2

    ... and do it in Cygwin targeting x686. I've done it :P

  13. Re:Microsoft doesn't want Android to fail on Windows Phone Homebrew Hits a Snag · · Score: 1

    Finally! Now we can designate Android fanboi as M$ Shills!

  14. Re:every developer needs a 32-core NUMA system on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 1

    Let's say 1K to 1.1K. 10% gain in division's revenue is not something to sneeze at even if that PC costs $40K.

  15. Re:every developer needs a 32-core NUMA system on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 1

    Yes, if that developer makes > $1K/hour for his company he may have nice toys.
    How much do you bring in, personally?

    P.S.
    NUMA is not a privilege but a bane and an unfortunate consequence of 128 cores (32 cores is so 2009!) fighting for RAM

  16. Re:Windows 7 can do _so much more_ than Windows XP on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 0

    Yes, it can. For example Win7 can use > 32 threads (cores). It can also work with NUMA RAM. Win XP can't do either.
    Now please go back to your IT hole and play Solitaire on your stable i486 while we developers keep the company afloat and prosperous.

    To the rest of devs: when going with dollar numbers to management, don't use salary numbers ($/hour), use revenue numbers instead.
    $1K per hour per developer is not anything special in a good company.
    And when an IT dipshit makes a developer to loose an hour (ie our company looses $1K) I make sure everybody knows that.
    Works wonders.

    -- Yes, you're right, I "love" IT --

  17. It's kinda scary on A Kindle Fire Review For Those Who Plan To Void the Warranty · · Score: 1, Troll

    that in almost 2 years the whole industry can't catch-up with Apple.
    It was OK back then but two years without any bright, no-rooting-required competitor?
    The technology, software and know-how is there but the whole *package* has been delivered by Apple only so far.
    Google probably does disservice to its platform by targeting it to telcos and not to consumers.

  18. Re:Woot! on OpenSUSE 12.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Nope. 3 again: I got back to SUSE from Debian.

    Harry Potter movie was in the next auditorium. A lot of good looking chicks.
    Our C&A auditorium: No chicks whatsoever. A lot of gray neck-bearded geeks. Bleah.
    I am shaving my gray beard ASAP.

    The movie was OK. Not great but passable.

  21. Dihydrogen Monoxide on BlackBerry Code Signing Server Outage · · Score: 1

    You are not very technical, are you?
    Code signing is a malware protection feature, not HDCP.

    Or we can assume that the CDC is already infected by zombies.

  25. Wrong weaponry dynamics? on Animated Series Uses Kinect For Motion Capture · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The gun is supposedly heavy. The body shields and the helmets are too.
    In the video I see dynamics of a Styrofoam toys.
    And it's not about this particular video.
    Now-days I see wrong dynamics in almost all of multi-million mega-busters too.
    In my time [insert a lengthy rant here]
