    Yes and here comes the resurrection of large crime syndicates: Murder inc, Maffia Families etc...

    From the moment of conception, the unborn are human beings,

    Where is the scientific agreement on that ? I don't consider a blastula a human being.

  3. Expectations on Nat Geo Writer: Science Is Running Out of "Great" Things To Discover · · Score: 1

    Science has always been mostly incremental improvements. For every world changing paper
    there have been thousands of minor ones.I guess it's just time for the nobel committee to stop expecting grandiose stuff.

  4. Selfphone insurance on Smartphone Kill-Switch Could Save Consumers $2.6 Billion · · Score: 1

    Why ? This is ridiculous. Why insure a 300 $ device ?

  5. Friend with room on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    What I would do is build a second NAS.
    Do an initial backup of it and move it to a friends basement/rack and sync it up every week or so.

    You forget about expertise and experience.

    Why type bufPtr when p will do.

  8. Re:So on Report: Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) Scans Your DNS History · · Score: 2

    No it does not, most vm software implement a virtual network card at a low level.

  9. Captain obvious on The Human Body May Not Be Cut Out For Space · · Score: 2

    In a Russian experiment in 2010 and 2011, six men agreed to be sealed up in a mock spaceship simulating a 17-month Mars mission. Four of the six developed disorders, and the crew became less active as the experiment progressed. 'I think that's just an example of what could potentially happen during a Mars mission, but with much greater consequence,' says Dr. Beven. 'Those subtle changes in group cohesion could cause major problems.'"

    That happens on earth as well, it's why you have vacations or risk a burn-out.

    Fair(er) pricing.

  11. Re:Despite it's name on AMD Announces First ARM Processor · · Score: 0

    IIRC Ibm's power 6 architecture outperformed intel's then current offering.

  12. Re:Amazing how times change. on Who Makes the Best Hard Disk Drives? · · Score: 1

    So Hard-drive water cooling ? Isn't condensation always an issue when you freeze ?
    You're not filling the baggy with silicagel or something like that, so frozen crystals inside will melt when taken out.
    What about putting tape on the electronics (pcb) and condoms/hoodies for the connectors ?

    They also have an "encrypting circuit boad" that fails very easily, leaving your data encrypted. Don't buy the MyBooks !

    Is this the birth of Godzilla ?

  15. Re:What is this? on Ask Slashdot: Command Line Interfaces -- What Is Out There? · · Score: 1

    It's also hard to gauge the opponent's level, especially since expertise isn't a stepped ladder but more of a gradient.
    We don't know how high up we are and we don't know how low the others are.

  20. Re:UPS on Power-Loss-Protected SSDs Tested: Only Intel S3500 Passes · · Score: 1

    The bigger question, though, is WHY THE FUCK can't we either disable whole-drive encryption, or at least set it to a key WE control, with some means to read the bits from even a drive that's totally nonfunctional SATA-wise (JTAG, SPI, whatever) and reconstruct it offline?

    Can we do that with mechanical drives ? As someone who has to do quite a lot of data recovery recently (thank you WD 3TB Green)
    I'm very interested in knowing how, also the WD Mybooks come with a hardware encryption PCB.
    Has anyone had success of bypassing/cracking those, since they fail fairly often and the data on the disk is "scrambled" without them.

  21. Re:Hard to believe on What Would It Cost To Build a Windows Version of the Pricey New Mac Pro? · · Score: 1

    How do you really know what you need? Which specs are really relevant?

    The easies method: You open a taskmanager and have the user recreate its troubled session.
    Then you look at what is starved (memory, cpu, IO) and by whom and you upgrade hardware
    and tweak/replace the software if possible.

    Sometimes you need to do this over a longer period then it's time to write some scripts to poll /proc, performance counters via WMI.

    What about hibernate/resume ? On one NVIDIA card I got it locking up (gt 610) and on another two
    (9800 gt, 660 gtx) I can get them to resume but with the following issue. When I resume, I get a black screen, I can switch to the X tty (Ctrl-Alt-F7)
    a few minutes later it switches back to a black screen. I can switch again and now it doesn't do it anymore.

    I use slackware64-14.0 with alien's multilib packages.
