  1. Enough Zombies on AWS Terms of Service Offer a Break If Zombie Apocalypse Occurs (windowsitpro.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Seriously, this adult obsession with zombies is just sad and lame. While I'm complaining I'd like to never ever see or hear about another comic book movie again too. Thanks

  2. Re:Shotguns! on Federal Prison System Wants Anti-Drone Technology (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    It would be fun, but not very effective.

  3. Re:I don't get it. on Science Teacher Arrested After Crashing Drone At US Open · · Score: 1

    Quadcopters with flight controllers and other fancy features along with much improved battery technology. A short time ago there was nothing anywhere near as capable and easy to fly at such a low cost.

  4. Re:Does anyone else notice? on Reddit Updates Content Policy, Bans More Subreddits · · Score: 1

    So run your own white supremacist website. Don't cry when the people you inaccurately criticize don't give you exactly what you want, baby.

  5. SJW on Reddit Updates Content Policy, Bans More Subreddits · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If you use this, it's most likely because you are a horrible person and you are counter-attacking someone for pointing that out.

    The irony is that you have also become a "warrior" for your cause. The main difference is that you're defending trolls and sociopaths.

  6. Re:Any professional tools available? on Bug Exposes OpenSSH Servers To Brute-Force Password Guessing Attacks · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. Too cheap to pay for a good admin, get hacked and ask dumb questions about what to do.

  7. Radio jamming could interfere with responders using radio signals.

  8. Re:Step 1 on Samsung Releases First 2TB Consumer SSD For Laptops · · Score: 1

    This has to be one of the more unusual software combinations for a Slashdot user to run in 2015. I always hated IIS and MS SQL server and haven't thought about them since I left a job where I had to support them many years ago.

  9. Join a small growing company on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Find Jobs That Offer Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    That is how I got started, we outgrew our office space and I volunteered to work from home. I made sure to increase my production and do a good job and the change became permanent. My next job after that was offered to me by a former co-worker who was already familiar with my ability to work from home, so there was never any question about it.

    My next position is likely to be running my own operation, which is the guaranteed way to be able to work from home.

  10. Memory prices are crazy on Turing Near Ready To Ship World's First Liquid Metal Android Smartphone · · Score: 2

    How long until all phones and tablets come with a reasonable amount of storage and don't have an insane premium to upgrade it?

  11. Re:you never hear of having USN nuclear problems on Bill Gates Investing $2 Billion In Renewables · · Score: 1

    Remember, you can never put too much water in a nuclear reactor.

  12. My Experience on Chromecast Update Bringing Grief For Many Users · · Score: 1

    The thing is not heavy enough to make an effective paperweight. It just wasn't something that me or anyone in my household used.

  13. Re:Get rid of the fucking adverts completely on How Television Is Fighting Off the Internet · · Score: 1

    Check out Sling. They have some unique restrictions on streaming.

  14. Re:What an opportunity! on Greek Financial Crisis Is an Opportunity For Bitcoin · · Score: 1
    This comment wasn't insightful in 2009 let alone 2015. While it's certainly possible that the end result could be the same for investors, the idea that it's a pyramid scheme has been thoroughly debunked.

    It's a giant ponzi scheme:
    In a Ponzi Scheme, the founders persuade investors that they'll profit. Bitcoin does not make such a guarantee. There is no central entity, just individuals building an economy.

    A Ponzi scheme is a zero sum game. In a ponzi scheme, early adopters can only profit at the expense of late adopters, and the late adopters always lose. Bitcoin can have a win-win outcome. Earlier adopters profit from the rise in value as Bitcoin becomes better understood and in turn demanded by the public at large. All adopters benefit from the usefulness of a reliable and widely-accepted decentralized peer-to-peer currency.

    It is also important to note that Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of bitcoin, has never spent a bitcoin (other than giving them away when they were worthless) which we can verify by checking the blockchain.

  15. 10 Minutes Flight time on AirMagnet Wi-Fi Security Tool Takes Aim At Drones · · Score: 1

    This is going to need to be a very fast attack since the battery on the quadcopter only lasts around 5-10 min.

  16. Re:Backup Power! on New Home Automation? · · Score: 1

    Yes, the NG generator with auto-switchover is the best for most disasters. The supply is susceptible to earthquakes and can't be kept on hand easily, so if earthquakes are a local problem, some other fuel may be better.

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

    Install and Update All Your Programs at Once http://ninite.com/

  18. Anything you type on Facebook Tracks the Status Updates and Messages You Don't Write Too · · Score: 1

    Can and will be used against you.

  19. More Bitcoins on US Light Bulb Phase-Out's Next Step Begins Next Month · · Score: 1

    Use the wattage you save to mine for BITCOIN!
    Everybody wins.

  20. Give me a damn web browser on Google Brings AmigaOS to Chrome Via Native Client Emulation · · Score: 5, Funny

    If I want an emulator, I'll get an emulator.

  21. I had no idea this was law on A Year After Ban On Loud TV Commercials: Has It Worked? · · Score: 1

    Fox didn't get the memo either apparently. The difference in volume between the broadcast and advertisements is at an all time high on Fox NFL Sunday.

  22. Re:Booze Bus on Texas Drivers Stopped At Roadblock, Asked For Saliva, Blood · · Score: 1

    In my anecdotal observations there aren't really a many accidents in Boston especially considering the number of cars and aggressive drivers. I think much of it comes down to people having to get "into the zone" to handle it. They may be speeding and lane jockeying, but they are fully engaged. I lived in a small city in Florida, and I think the per capita crash rate there has to be magnitudes higher in much easier conditions.

  23. Download Any Version of Winamp on Winamp Shutting Down On December 20 · · Score: 5, Informative

    How do you connect it without hacking a usb plug just like they're selling or otherwise altering your cable?
