  1. Re:Ground down on Misogyny, Entitlement, and Nerds · · Score: 1

    Take a look at construction workers or the military. I have close friends working in these sector, I'm being told women there have it a lot worse. I'd say IT is generally kinder for women, compared with other men-dominated sectors. So misogyny exists in IT, sure, but you have other horses to beat first. This outrage is misguided and deserves the cause.

  2. Re:Wheel-well traveling 101: on Experts Say Hitching a Ride In an Airliner's Wheel Well Is Not a Good Idea · · Score: 3, Informative

    Your points 1. and 2. are wrong. Have you read the article ? Hypothermia and hypoxia preserve the body during the flight.

  3. Re:Waste? on MIT Designs Tsunami Proof Floating Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    So you prefer certain atmosphere and aquifer contamination to a little bit of radioactivity. I suggest you document yourself on nuclear waste storage and fly ash storage. The first is a fear-driven, over regulated and technologically advanced process (see Areva), the latter is the kind of self contamination garbage humanity has been doing for centuries.

  4. Re:d20? on Physicists Discover Geometry Underlying Particle Physics · · Score: 1

    Classical AD&D initiative was a d10 roll !

  5. Re:I always thought Auction house is what make Dia on Auction Houses To Be Removed From Diablo III · · Score: 2

    They fixed that in the console version. Good loot actually dropping when playing the game, instead of Auction House requirement for everyone. The console version is, for this very reason, the superior version of the game. Apparently, they want to shift the PC loot system to something similar to console version with their "Loot 2.0" system.

  6. Re:Hate labor laws? on How European Startups Are Battling Labor Laws For Developers and Programmers · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, it's not impossible to fire people in Italy nor in France. Companies just have to pay adequate compensation for breaking employment contracts. The keyword here is contract, binding both parties (employee not getting unemployment benefits if they are the ones breaking it). Of course most are too cheap to pay.

  7. Re:Windows has no future on Microsoft Developer Explains Why Windows Kernel Development Falls Behind · · Score: 1

    Each and every point you make is bullshit, Stop reading hardware news websites.

  8. The no-reselling is FUD on Google Forbids Advertising On Glass · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind the glasses are currently only distributed as a developer device, much like an SDK. Not a consumer device. The no reselling restriction present in the EULA is very similar to those applicable to SDK in other markets.

  9. Re:No-win situation on Build a Secret Compartment, Go To Jail · · Score: 2

    You forgot: 3) Commit suicide. 24 years behind bars or one's familiy murdered ? Seriously.

  10. Re:Wait I have seen this one from Microsoft on Microsoft: 'Unlikely' Credit Card Details Lifted From Xbox 360s · · Score: 1

    In the infosec community, triggering a BSOD is considered a PoC, a working exploit means arbitrary code execution. AFAIK there is no public working exploit for MS12-020 atm.

  11. Re:Macs don't get hacked on Flashback Trojan Hits 600,000 Macs and Counting · · Score: 0

    Low slashdot ID can correlate to senility.

  12. Re:It's time to re-invent the web on Eric Schmidt: UN Treaty a 'Disaster' For the Internet · · Score: 1

    Try I2P. It's not as slow and a lot more versatile than Freenet.

  13. Re:My ass on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With University Firewalls? · · Score: 1

    Do not advertise the VPN provider who sold his customer to law enforcement last year. Bustmyass.com it is.

  14. Darknets on Canadian Govt To Introduce Massive Internet Surveillance Law · · Score: 1

    I guess i2p/tor/freenet and other darknets will see another surge of users soon. All these bills do is promoting the use of heavy cryptographic solutions by average citizens and bad guys alike.

  15. Comprehension fail on Japanese Use Wild Monkeys To Track Radiation · · Score: 1

    Most posters don't seem to grasp the fact these are local wild monkeys. Not captured monkeys from elswhere released in the irradiated area. And now I bet the next suggestion will be deporting all wildlife from the irradiated area or forcing an anti-radiation suit on them...

  16. Re:Torchlight 2 on Diablo III Beta Begins · · Score: 1

    You're not a diehard fan. Face the truth, you're not even at fan level. The fact that you even think of this tiny detail proves it.

  17. Re:Incredibly important things. on CERN Ups Antimatter Confinement Record to 15+ Minutes · · Score: 1

    Energy being on of the most important problems of years to come, it deserves the investment, even in economic crisis times. By the way, Europe still has money, as China is currently buying their debt. Same as the US, broke and living on the credit.

  18. Re:they only send 100 notices this first time on French ISP Refuses To Send Out Infringement Notices · · Score: 1

    Why would they shape sslv3 over sslv2 ? Makes no sense to me. The differences reside in cryptography during the handshake step. Inspecting handshakes would prove a little too intensive imho.

  19. Re:Where are the parents? on French ISP Refuses To Send Out Infringement Notices · · Score: 1

    True only for administration top management, "haut fonctionnaires". At least before the politically-tainted level. Completely false in the private sector, where business schools such as HEC and engineering schools such as Polytechnique trust the top management.

  20. Re:Government is just an excuse on R.I.P Usenet: 1980-2008 · · Score: 1

    Quite the contrary. Getting people to download all their warez from an internal Usenet server costs NOTHING compared to huge peering bills that comes from P2P usage. For an ISP, internal traffic is negligible. Your bittorrent client however happily connects to the other side of the world, and moves data a lot more inefficiently through the net...

  21. Re:This is riduculous on The World of Competitive Gaming · · Score: 1

    I disagree. This reaction was very common also in the high level maths courses I took. Many people thought that they could beat the best if they spent as much time on the subject, but the truth is they are just unable to do it, unable to focus enough on the subject and make the necessary sacrifices. Being able to spend (I would say to dedicate) a huge amount of time to training a subjet is an ability as good if not better as being naturally gifted in it.
