A few years ago there was a Japanese children's show with a character called Mr. Puri Puri, which apparently translates to "turd". He'd pop up out of random toilet bowls and spout non-sequitur but very profound sounding wisdoms. John Dillermand reminded me of that somehow.

I'm SO sick of this 'Fuck Beta' crap.
YOU the /. community are one of most technically-able groups of users on the internet. Therefore, instead of whining about a FREE service that you no longer enjoy, why not group together and build something better? If it's better than /. (not hard...) then your user base will come. A handful of you could throw up a simple blogging system in a few hours, whilst you work on something permanent...
So instead of bitching about it to corporate owners who do not care, get off your arses and build something better.
http://altslashdot.org/ seems to be offline at the time of writing - a good effort but when I did look at it yesterday it seems to be 90% ideas, and sod all development. The best sites on the net, didn't spring into life fully formed, they evolved. The important thing is to just get something up and working as fast as possible.
(Why am I not joining the effort? I'm a Windows guy, my linux foo is simply not good enough else I would.)

Attached to: HTML5 App For Panasonic TVs Rejected - JQuery Is a "Hack"
Seriously, This.
I *hate* JQuery, I also *hate* that every time I ask the internet for how to do X in JavaScript, 95% of search results are actually JQuery examples.
I'm not a pro site builder, I do little projects for fun, I DO NOT need jQuery. It seems to me that so many script-kiddies who have actually NO IDEA how to write JavaScript, bolt-on JQuery by default and then live inside the $ class, using unaltered code lumps ripped from the aforementioned search results.
Until JQuery is merged with the core JavaScript library on most browsers (which is kinda pointless seeing as it's just JavaScript anyway), It CANNOT be considered a 'core' language and is still very much an 'extension' which may or may not be supported in browsers going forward.
Anyway, rant over... :)

Aha thanks. Good reading on that link. I now understand much better what's going on.

Attached to: Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Often-Run Piece of Code -- Ever?
Ignoring the '3 line' thing because that's just dumb, my vote for the most run piece of code on the planet right now would be:
DNS. Either the part that queries or the part that answers.
Think about how many times that's being called at this moment, globally.
(And yes, this Ask /. is the stupidest ever.)

Mind sharing which Honeywell it was that you bought?
I've recently swapped out an old rotary one for a DT90E, and I'm really not happy with it - it keeps flicking the boiler on/off too often :(
Thanks.

I've just scanned the CSV version - they all seem to be US users as well, either that or Snapchat has useless geographical data.

I tried that - then discovered that MS Exchange* will NOT do ActiveSync properly to some devices unless the cert is proper trusted one.
Bloody annoying.
If the world wants https-everywhere, then a) free trusted signed certs must be available for everyone (like StartSSL offers, but with wildcard certs as well), and b) the ability to attach different certs to virtual hosts on the SAME ip must be enabled (IIS on Windows can't do this - can Apache/non-MS-Webservers do it?)
(*And no, I wont swap to a Linux/SendMail/Whatever solution, as I'm a professional MS consultant, so have to eat my own dog food)

Attached to: Ask Slashdot: Mitigating DoS Attacks On Home Network?
You're changing your MAC address? wut? and why?
Because that's a good way to 'force' your ISP to re-allocate you a new IP immediately. Not that I agree with the practice as it's clearly not working in this case.

IIRC, the baddie starship in 'Into Darkness' *IS* a 'Dreadnought' class - so you may be right about that connection.

...code compatible with the most incompatible OS currently available
Also the most widely used on the desktop, which makes your argument invalid.
Unlike Linux, Windows enjoys (typically) a compile once, run anywhere model. Hence the desire from Windows users to obtain pre-compiled binaries - why should I waste time compiling source into the same binary that countless other Windows users have already got?
I want to enjoy using my platform of choice, not waste endless hours watching packages download, and compilers run.

Why is all the good stuff already modded 5, when I have mod points?
This. Pretty much why I don't use my Mod points when I get them any more. I'm a daily /. reader, but even then, everything worth modding is already modded :( It's like the system hands out mod points to EVERYONE all on the SAME day, about ONCE a WEEK...
