  1. DevOps is dead, SRE is the future on Opinion: DevOps Is Dead (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    SRE, or Site Reliability Engineering, is the future of asking a team of engineers to handle a production environment. In fact, Google literally just released their book on the subject. https://landing.google.com/sre...

  2. Udacity Nanodegree on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Into Machine Learning? · · Score: 1

    If you really want to be employable then I recommend getting a nanodegree in Machine Learning through Udacity. https://www.udacity.com/course... One of the things that makes their program stand out is that they use project based learning. Upon completion you have projects that you can present to perspective employers.

  3. Re:Oh dear on Massachusetts Boarding School Sued Over Wi-Fi Sickness · · Score: 1

    Or if they appended '5G' to the end of their 2.4G SSID. :)

  4. Re:Idiots on Aereo Embraces Ruling, Tries To Re-Classify Itself As Cable Company · · Score: 4, Informative

    They can end free OTA broadcasting... they just need to give the wireless spectrum back to the US Government. Not going to happen.

  5. Go Aereo! on Aereo Embraces Ruling, Tries To Re-Classify Itself As Cable Company · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The cable companies simply want to put Aereo out of business using whatever means necessary. The SCOTUS ruling might actually be a blessing in disguise. If they can legally be classified as a cable company, and therefore obtain a compulsory license to the content, they will be able to rearchitect their entire system to make it more efficiently able to serve a large number of customers. Even after paying for the compulsory license I believe they will still be able to keep the costs way down and provide a great and inexpensive service to their users.

  6. Create a work/study program on US Tech Firms Recruiting High Schoolers (And Younger) · · Score: 1

    Tech skills are in high demand so it makes sense that large tech companies will begin targeting high schoolers. Having a college degree is not necessary, however it would prove incredibly useful in the long run.... especially as one tries to advance their career or move to a different company. The solution for these large companies is to come up with a work/study program so that these young tech workers have the opportunity to attain a college degree while working at the company. This works out advantageous to both the company and the employee; the company gets a skilled college-educated worker and the employee gets a college education. Furthermore, if the company pays for the program then the young employee doesn't need to take out any loans to pay for the exorbitant cost of college... making it a win/win! A little background on myself; I attained my Bachelors degree as a full-time student and when I entered the job market I was able to negotiate into my hiring contract that my employer would cover my Masters degree as I continue my education part-time. This worked out great as I am currently taking my final course and will have my Masters at the end of August.

  7. What happens when... on Scientists Build Wireless Bicycle Brakes · · Score: 1

    ...someone figures out how to send a brake command to other people's bikes from a laptop? Even better yet, just send the brake command to people's front brakes... flipping them over when they least expect it! I imagine sitting by the window in a coffee shop while all the bikers who attempt to ride by are in for quite a surprise.

  8. You are getting sleepy... on P2P Alarm Clock Service · · Score: 2

    "You do not want your head to leave the pillow... Your eyelids are growing heavier.... ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" I can't imagine how many people will be late to work because of this.

  9. Why download music.... on P2P Music Downloads At All-Time Low · · Score: 2

    when Pandora and Grooveshark can satisfy all your music needs through the cloud? A drop in media piracy likely has little to do with copyright enforcement and much more to do with cloud streaming services that offer content for free.

  10. Bashing the wrong target... on PayPal Freezes Support Account For Bradley Manning · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We need to stop pointing our fingers at PayPal and start pointing them at the US Government. I am sure political powers put a tremendous amount of force on PayPal to shut down the account.

  11. Re:Android + WiFi Analyzer on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 1

    Great suggestion! Recently my wifi at home kept dropping so I changed the channel and all the problems went away. I will use this to find the optimal channel to use in my condo. Thanks!

  12. Re:In my case: cordless surround sound speakers on Tracking Down Wi-Fi Interference? · · Score: 1

    I have the same situation with my own surround sound system. It is highly plausible that the posters neighbor comes home and watches TV at night and unknowingly causes all his neighbors WIFI networks to come down. I live in a condo and only use my surround sound system to watch movies now because of this bug.

  13. Encrypt it on Company Laptop, My Data — Can They Co-exist? · · Score: 1

    http://www.truecrypt.org/ Encrypt the entire hard drive. Now not only can your company not access the data, but neither can a thief if the laptop were to be robbed.

  14. Re:Python on Best Introduction To Programming For Bright 11-14-Year-Olds? · · Score: 1

    I use Python all the time at work and I remember my boss telling me he taught his 8 year old daughter Python. It's an incredibly useful language that is simple and easy to learn.

  15. Printing? on Textbooks With EULAs · · Score: 1

    What's stopping people from printing the books before the EULA expires? I wouldn't be about to print a 500 page book onto paper, but I would surely print it to a PDF file without any access restrictions on it. The idea of having e-books used in classes actually sounds nice. It would allow for me not to bother with those heavy text books. Of course, if something like a PDF could be made from the book (which it probably can) then it could easily be copied between students.

  16. Re:CAUTION!!! VOLTRON SPOILERS FOLLOW!!! on Voltron Coming To The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa....

    I just can't stop laughing at your post... and I'm at work too. XD

    "and I'll form the head!"

  17. Re:Zzzzzzz on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1

    Good to know I'm not alone. I just can't sleep well when there's no noise from computer fans. :P Now the neon blue lights on my brand new computer case... that's a different story... :/

  18. Re:What's the big deal? on NASA Scrubs Launch Due to Faulty Fuel-Tank Sensor · · Score: 1

    I hope you don't ever get rear-ended with gasoline in your trunk.
