Have they come up with an alternate method of doing pit stops without getting out of the car completely and changing cars mid-race? If not, I'm not interested.

This has been going on for at least 2 years. I'm surprised it took SlashDice so long to figure that out.

Sorry, I'm not actually familiar with DICCS. TFS makes it sound like the owner is using Github as their personal Pastebin.

I could totally understand if Github told DICCS to move their stuff to another website. The purpose of github is to share files related to OSS. Toilet humour isn't exactly software.

You are a bad person. You don't discuss, you argue because you like attention. I like the truth, and discussion. Fuck off.

I wish I could +1 this into infinitum. BarbaraHudson (and her army of alt accounts) are trolls that just won't go away.

We don't care that you're different. Must be a soft news day at Slashdot... Oh wait. It's always a slow news day at Slashdot.

First off, fix Caller ID so people can't spoof their phone numbers. Even if people use the private number feature, the phone company knows who made the call. Secondly, monitor exchanges for both high outgoing volume and high incoming volume (and especially sequential dialing) to find potential robocallers and telemarketers. Problem solved.

Submission + - How the New York Times Gets Made - With and Without Dead Trees

Submitted by schnell on Sunday February 15, 2015 @11:03PM

schnell writes: Popular Mechanics has an in-depth profile detailing how the US paper of record, the New York Times, gets produced on a daily basis, from the newsroom conferences to the details of running the printing presses. Interesting tidbits include the Times's R&D lab that is charged with thinking 3-5 years down the road, and develops projects regardless of their profitability (like the first Google Glass newspaper app); how the newspaper offers its reporters classes on why and "how to tweet;" and how the paper's new focus on its digital future has led it to label not just reporters but also developers, graphic designers and video editors as among its 1,300-strong team of "journalists."
