  1. SlashAd on OKCupid Experiments on Users Too · · Score: 0

    Is that some sort of advertisement?

    I see no other reason to "jump in" with that kind of information.

  2. Re:Great! on Plaintiff In Tech Hiring Suit Asks Judge To Reject Settlement · · Score: 1

    That only works if you have billons of dollars in a bank. Otherwise it is 6 month in jail and/or fine.

  3. Re:Active countermeasures required. on UN: Renewables, Nuclear Must Triple To Save Climate · · Score: 1

    Nah, professor Wernstrom.

  4. Re:So no more .net redistributable? on .NET Native Compilation Preview Released · · Score: 0

    Maybe you mean C++ Redistributables? These have nothing to do with .NET, but rather C++ standard library.

  5. Re:We already have enough police officers on Chinese Firm Can Now Produce 500 Cloned Pigs Per Year · · Score: 1

    Why do they make remake for movies that do not require remakes? Thanks for showing it.

  6. Re:But... why? on Cairo 2D Graphics May Become Part of ISO C++ · · Score: 1

    You can do whatever projects you like with Qt (commercial or open source alike). You need to buy a commercial license only if you want to do static linking to the library.

  7. USA Today on USA Today Names Edward Snowden Tech Person of the Year · · Score: 5, Informative

    And yet by the government he is named as traitor and fugitive.

  8. Re:Fallout Zone? on The Japanese Mob Is Hiring Homeless People To Clean Up Fukushima · · Score: 1

    Well, to avoid one they had to do some gas venting and coolant leaking.

  9. Re:What an idiot. on Convicted Spammer Jeffrey Kilbride Flees Prison · · Score: 1

    I've always heard that the minimum security prisons are the worst. Too much abuse since the prisoners have too much freedom to wander around and not being watched. In maximum security you are locked up most of the time and monitored.

  10. Re:Why? on Google's Plan To Kill the Corporate Network · · Score: 0

    I do not exclude this possibility. On average probably. All this political shit about "everything equal and everyone the same" does not mean it is true. The are extraordinary people, and I know by far more extraordinary men then women.

  11. Re:Why? on Google's Plan To Kill the Corporate Network · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wrong! Dogs are dumb, just easier to control and teach "tricks", since they are pack animals. Anyway, the cat's brain got twice the count of neurons than the dog's brain got.

  12. Re:How nice of them! on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 0

    I love this kind of videos! Gives my chills :) Can't wait to open one myself! And I have to say that everything is packed really nicely in it.

  13. Re:Overprivilaged Apps Security Risk... on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 1

    I think the grand parent sees root as a risk 'cause it introduces additional level of complexity which could contain potential exploits. Superuser app is not bulletproof and may contain bugs. There is also a human factor. How many of us managed to dismiss a dialog box without actually reading them? I know I did not because I click everything, but because those thing may popup at most inconvenient time, when you want to click on something else.

    To keep root or not to keep depends on users' needs. I just wanted to point out that it is not necessary to keep it once the job is done and it is no longer required.

  14. Re:Hooray on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 1

    True that, I guess I missed it because it was just one paragraph at the end. However app disabling still seems to be the main focus of the article.

  15. Re:Overprivilaged Apps Security Risk... on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 4, Informative

    It is possible to root the phone, remove the crapware and then remove the root. No need to keep it.

  16. Hooray on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some guy found new button in application management settings... good for him! However the summary is misleading, it does not get the crapware off, it just disables the applications.

  17. Re:My question on David Craddock and Two Blizzard North Co-Founders Answer Your Questions (Video) · · Score: 5, Informative

    +1 for transcript. Hate videos as well.

  18. Ehm... on Making a Case For Cyberwar Against Syria · · Score: -1, Troll

    What a load of horseshit

  19. Re:Already seen this on CSI on Aging Is a Disease; Treat It Like One · · Score: 1
    I've heard something similar, only it was:

    "Live is a disease, with a 100% mortality rate."

  20. Re:Improvements to Dolphin performance? on KDE Software Compilation 4.11 Released · · Score: 1

    Just tried out of curiosity. Takes the same amount of time to spawn any window. If opening in an existing window it takes less then a second by far. Test was done on Fedore 19 in VM on standard 5400rpm HD. So yeah, I think the man either trolling or got some ancient piece of hardware.

  21. Re:Again? on Version 2.0 of 3D-Printed Rifle Successfully Fires 14 Rounds · · Score: 1

    I've never sad there were too many 3D printer articles. I said I was tired of 3D printed guns articles. So what if they fire? there already have been guns that fire. It is neither news nor achievement. Those guns are simple technology. Anything special about them are that they make of plastic that may explode in your hands.

    On the side note I have never used the word "slashvertisement". Nor do I get too irritated over the persons trying to spread the word about their product on Slashdot if it is compelling to the crowd.

    And finally "ZERO" does not fit the criteria to be an answer to either my or your questions.

  22. Again? on Version 2.0 of 3D-Printed Rifle Successfully Fires 14 Rounds · · Score: 2

    Is there gonna be a story each time a 3D-printed gun fires?

  23. Re:Why not a VM? on Ask Slashdot: Hardware Accelerated Multi-Monitor Support In Linux? · · Score: 1

    VMWare supports dual monitor on guest Linux OS just fine. I am unsure about three monitors however.

    How the fuck is this insightful?

  25. Re:always on Why JavaScript On Mobile Is Slow · · Score: 1

    If the language leaks memory (without any misdeed by the programmer) I consider it to be a bad language. Actually I was exactly talking about dead/bad references, caching and frequent re-allocations.
