  1. Re:$500 mil? what about routine maint. on Heartbleed Pricetag To Top $500 Million? · · Score: 1

    Yup, it is similar to trying to add up the cost of the Malay plane search in the Indian ocean. The Aussie defence force is paid for anyway, they just happen to spend time in one spot for several weeks.

  2. Re:...news for nerds.. on In a Hole, Golf Courses Experiment With 15-inch Holes · · Score: 1

    Golf is a non-sport if ever there was one. It is indeed 'a good walk, spoilt' and walking is an activity, but it is not a sport.

  3. Re:Text file - Ed on Ask Slashdot: Professional Journaling/Notes Software? · · Score: 1

    So I take it that you use ed, since it is the standard UNIX editor.

  4. Re:Still need pipes on Obama Delays Decision On Keystone Pipeline Yet Again · · Score: 1

    Sure, but the reserve number never goes down. It always stays at 30 B or rises even more. Therefore, hundreds of billions of barrels is likely correct.

  5. Re:Build refineries in ND on Obama Delays Decision On Keystone Pipeline Yet Again · · Score: 1

    Just put the refineries and the filling stations in North Dakota. Then people can drive 2000km from Texas to fill up...

  6. Re:Build refineries in ND on Obama Delays Decision On Keystone Pipeline Yet Again · · Score: 1

    The oil companies may eventually decide to break the idle refineries down and move them north to Dakota and Canada.

  7. Re:Translation : We need a new gig, how about this on 3 Former Astronauts: Earth-Asteroid Collisions Are a Real But Preventable Danger · · Score: 2

    People die all the time. It is not necessary to kill people in a war or otherwise, to reduce the population. All that is needed is contraception.

  8. Re:Since when is every search engine Google? on New 'Google' For the Dark Web Makes Buying Dope and Guns Easy · · Score: 1

    ...and before TOR, there was gopher.

  9. Re:Modern security model horribly broken. on Heartbleed Used To Bypass 2-Factor Authentication, Hijack User Sessions · · Score: 1

    SELinux or Apparmor will prevent that, but it is usually not installed on embedded systems.

  10. Memory implants on Minerva CEO Details His High-Tech Plan To Disrupt Universities · · Score: 2

    What we need is memory implants. That will make both the ivy league and Minerva obsolete.

  11. Re:Yawn. on Microsoft Plans $1 Billion Server Farm In Iowa · · Score: 0

    Nah, this is for hotmail. It will run BSD. So only about 5 bearded gurus and a coffee and donut shop is required.

  12. Why 1.1 billion? on Microsoft Plans $1 Billion Server Farm In Iowa · · Score: 1

    Why is the price tag more important than the technical details? A diamond and gold encrusted Raspberry Pi in a large warehouse could cost 2.2 billion...

  13. Re:Not sure about the recovery test on SpaceX Launches Load to ISS, Successfully Tests Falcon 9 Over Water · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, this is the commemorative weekend for an ancient Israeli dude who reportedly could walk on water, died and turned into a zombie. So, if that was possible, who knows, maybe Space-X can stand their rocket on water.

  14. Axe on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Products Were Built To Last? · · Score: 1

    This is the original axe of my great grandfather. The handle was changed 3 times, the blade once and it is still the best hacking tool ever.

  15. Re:Demographics problem on Detroit: America's Next Tech Boomtown · · Score: 0

    Sure, they are success proof, but fortunately they are twice as natural as the rest of the population.

  16. Re:Internet of things on The Internet of Things and Humans · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I have wondered how many people bought a smart TV and never bothered to plug it into anything.

  17. True for crap software on Bug Bounties Don't Help If Bugs Never Run Out · · Score: 1

    Not true for software that was written properly, reviewed, unit tested and system tested.

  18. Re:Which is why the smart grow underground on Criminals Using Drones To Find Cannabis Farms and Steal Crops · · Score: 1

    I've been wondering why someone don't just dump a sack of seed in a river and then all pot heads can harvest it for 2000 km all the way to the sea. After all, it is called 'weed' for a reason.

  19. Inflation on Survey: 56 Percent of US Developers Expect To Become Millionaires · · Score: 1

    Every day, it is becoming easier to reach that target. To 'retire' on rental income, you need to own 4 or more apartments and that is already over a million bucks.

  20. Don't hit back, walk away on Student Records Kids Who Bully Him, Then Gets Threatened With Wiretapping Charge · · Score: 1

    Then wait for your chance when the bully is not expecting it and then let him have it so hard that he and his whole gang will forever keep clear of you. For example, when you are on the upside of a steep incline, or he is standing on the edge of steps or something that you can hit him off of. Use the advantage of the terrain.

  21. Re:Technically if an NSA backdoor existed on First Phase of TrueCrypt Audit Turns Up No Backdoors · · Score: 1

    "They haven't started herding people into camps or anything" Uhmmm... never heard of Gitmo?

  22. Re:u wot m8 on Microsoft Confirms It Is Dropping Windows 8.1 Support · · Score: 1

    Nope, you got it all wrong. It is:
    # yum upgrade -y

  23. Even a caveman can do it on Climate Scientist: Climate Engineering Might Be the Answer To Warming · · Score: 1

    Climate engineering works so well, even a caveman can do it. After all, how else can we explain the end of the last ice age?

  24. Re:Ex Post Facto Law on IRS Can Now Seize Your Tax Refund To Pay a Relative's Debt · · Score: 2

    So, he'll chuck you in the slammer for destroying evidence.

  25. Re:Joke's on you feds on IRS Can Now Seize Your Tax Refund To Pay a Relative's Debt · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, the Blues Brothers are on a mission from god and will pay the debt of the orphanage.
