  1. You are basing your calculations on heavily taxed fuel and not so heavily taxed electricity. Countries will do bancrupt unless they cover their losses if fuel tax income goes down, I have a suspicion on how they will solve that problem.

  2. Dupe from many years back. The Itanium is well dead and buried since long, the zombies were only for extra fooled customers.

  3. Comal, for the COMPIS.

  4. Vote with your wallet on Why American Farmers Are Hacking Their Tractors With Ukrainian Firmware (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Stop buying limited rental products!

  5. Re:Come on guys, isn't this a bit rediculous? on Sony Launches Phone With World's First 4K HDR Screen; Nokia Brings Back the 3310 Handset (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Homeopathic pixels get more noticeable the smaller they are.

  6. Re:A better summary on Study Reveals Bot-On-Bot Editing Wars Raging On Wikipedia's Pages (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Sometimes the most important thing is not what is swritten, but is omitted.

  7. Yay for legacy appliances on Oracle to Block JAR Files Signed with MD5 Starting In April (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    It is a joy for IT to keep around a bunch of old java client environments to access old printers, NAS, switches, kvm switches, motherboard controllers (iLO etc), blade server management all "conveniently" accessed through a web browser (and requiring an old obsolete java and old insecure java features).

  8. Stick a vlan capable switch in front of it and tag two VLAN inside and outside. It will be faster than most consumer grade router/firewall even if it does share 1Gbit for bort in and out.

  9. Re:Why can't this be detected on Crooks Need Just Six Seconds To Guess A Credit Card Number (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1
    I makes business sense for them to be sloppy.

    If the card does not go through (due to some minor mistype or similar) I just buy the stuff somewhere else.

    As long as their share for the fraud cost is lower than revenue on extra sales for being convenient, they will continue being convenient.

  10. Re:3D editing is hard on Why MakerBot Didn't Kickstart A 3D Printing Revolution (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    For me it is way faster to program the objects in scad than trying to understand how a CAD UI works.

  11. Re:HP LaerJet on HP To Buy Samsung's Printer Business For $1.05 Billion (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    HP did not make those, that is why they are good, they put their logo on them.

  12. It is just bought ad space on IFA 2016 Award Winners (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Usually places in these "Top ten", "Best in show" etc. are bought with ads (sometimes with real money), just like in score of 95% in Computer Games Magazines, and the page of "Cool expensive tech stuff you need right now" in the in flight magazine. Until there is a way to verify the legitimacy of these lists, I will treat them as ads (i.e ignore them)

  13. Re:Contrasting anecdote on 8TB Drives Are Highly Reliable, Says Backblaze (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Warranty is only used as an indicator on how the producer values their product. We have stopped doing RMA on failed disks, as the refurbished ones we get back are crap and usually fails within a year (often within a week), with the work that causes and considering the cost of labor, it is cheaper to buy new drives, and scrap the broken ones.

  14. Truth in Advertising on Uber Doesn't Decrease Drunk Driving, Finds New Study (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Just like politicians they will bend the truth and say whatever they like.

  15. If all the facts are as truthful as the ones that are obviously false, this whole presentation is a fraud and real fraud in the legal sense. Dear KPMG are all your fundraising campaigns of this caliber or have you just recently started hiring scam artists from the MLM sector?

  16. botnets on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Want a 'Smart TV'? · · Score: 1

    I want a smart tv so that I too can unknowingly contribute with a node in a botnet. In the expected life time of a TV the "smart" stuff will be relevant for at most 30% and it will be safe to put on the internet for 0-10%

  17. The real meaning of IoT on Atari Is Going To Build IoT Devices (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    I am collecting more fitting expansions for the acronym, my current favorites are:
    "Internet of Terror"
    "Insecure Online Things"
    "Insecure Omnipresent Technology"

  18. in other news on Uber Knows Exactly When You'll Pay Surge Pricing (yahoo.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    In other news, your phone now gets mysteriously hot when you leave the home.

  19. Re:They are addressing the wrong problem on Phone-Friendly Movie Theaters For Millennials Could Be Reality Soon (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, please.
    And Beer.
    And cheesy nineties action movies.
    And cheering when the bad guy falls onto pointy object is mandatory.
    I need this, I also do not need it for atmospheric movies.

  20. Re:I'd love to see the SNAG... on Ask Slashdot: Is It Time To Shrink the Ethernet Connector? · · Score: 1

    Snagreducers are already dome well:
    MPS588-C is very nice, I have used these a lot: http://z-martbd.com/networking...
    Primus ones looks like they can work too: http://www.primuscable.com/sto...
    The standard boots you are talking about are horrible, in a cold server room they get so hard you need pliers.

  21. Yay. something good for under the TV on Intel Teases Skull Canyon Gaming NUC: Core i7, Iris Pro Graphics, Thunderbolt 3 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I would rather have this than some walled garden xbox or playstation.

  22. Re:Oh boy! on Fine Brothers File For Trademark On Word "React" · · Score: 1

    We need heavy fines on false use of DMCA.
    Fine the [not so] Fine bros.

  23. Fuck you and your click bait headlines on Why Legal Experts Are Up In Arms Over a Trade-Secrets Bill Microsoft Loves (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Slashdot needs better story moderation. By using click bait language you are poisoning my neural network to actually try to deciper the sentence rater than just ignore it as normal ads. Please do not do this.

  24. Re:And finally VNC support? on Fedora 23 Released (fedoramagazine.org) · · Score: 1

    Try x2go instead of vnc. Cant remeber is I tried gnome, I run LXDE daily.

  25. Eiffel tower on How Someone Acquired the Google.com Domain Name For a Single Minute · · Score: 1

    Hey, I just bought the Eiffel tower.
    Yet another article on bogus crap.
