  1. Been using OpenBSD since 2001 on Ask Slashdot: Migrating a Router From Linux To *BSD? · · Score: 1

    It's my gateway and router, and as it's not just a pfsense install it also serves as a web development platform, file storage, etc. etc. There's just nothing as flexible, powerful and intuitive as OpenBSD's PF for facilitating the router portion.

  2. The solution to their debt is to just not pay it on China's Engineering Mega-Projects Dwarf the Great Wall · · Score: 1

    Really, what is any other country going to do about it? At some point they will stop lending them money, but at that point China has already had half its nation reconstructed for free.

  3. AFTER the taser? on LAPD Orders Body Cams That Will Start Recording When Police Use Tasers · · Score: 1

    At the very least, it should start recording when the taser is released from its holster - and ideally, the camera should be recording before the weapon is even out of its holster.

  4. This is just psychological warfare on NSA Says They Have VPNs In a 'Vulcan Death Grip' · · Score: 1

    No more.

  5. Re:yep. I provide security to some ofthe listed si on 13,000 Passwords, Usernames Leaked For Major Commerce, Porn Sites · · Score: 2

    And you decided to go with salted hashes instead of scrypt/bcrypt/etc. why?

  6. Re:Is the word "and" copyrighted? on 13,000 Passwords, Usernames Leaked For Major Commerce, Porn Sites · · Score: 1

    Slashdot headlines annoy the eff out of me.

  7. Re:Wonder what 0 days are in use... on Lizard Squad Targets Tor · · Score: 4, Informative

    They haven't been kicked down. LQ set up 3000 new rogue nodes.

  8. Headline is wrong and sensationalistic on Lizard Squad Targets Tor · · Score: 5, Informative

    They haven't taken over 3000 Tor relays - they have set up 3000 new relays of their own, thus having control of over 50% of the available relays.

  9. Re:Can this be disabled? on Apple Pushes First Automated OS X Security Update · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yes, the automatic updating is a controllable setting, and to contrast one detail against Window: In my 9 years of using OS X, it has never done an automatic REBOOT during OS update, no matter if I've had automatic updates enabled or not.

  10. It should be noted that... on Apple Pushes First Automated OS X Security Update · · Score: 4, Informative

    ...while "automatic", it does not install automatically unless you've enabled automatic software updates. If you haven't, it takes the same form regular updates do: a little dialog pops up in the corner of the desktop alerting you about the update, asking what you want to do.

  11. Re:At a guess . . . on Study: Light-Emitting Screens Before Bedtime Disrupt Sleep · · Score: 2

    It's about light at the blue wavelength - the intensity obviously plays a part, but the wavelength is the primary cause. When the optical nerve receives EM at this wavelength the brain tells the pineal gland to not produce melatonin.

  12. Re:I had this problem, then I got f.lux. on Study: Light-Emitting Screens Before Bedtime Disrupt Sleep · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Same. I'm on 3200K during evening, 3000K before bed. Using the laptop before bedtime no longer affects my sleep, not even the least. The problem with blue light preventing melatonin production is long gone.

  13. Re:The AES String on Pirate Bay Domain Back Online · · Score: 1

    Third character from right, I mean... 0Cz.

  14. Re:The AES String on Pirate Bay Domain Back Online · · Score: 1

    You made a mistake there. The last "O" (third character from left) in the image is actually the number zero, not the letter O.

  15. I don't understand why you... on Ask Slashdot: Workaday Software For BSD On the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    ...think you wouldn't be able to find a modern browser, media player or window manager for FreeBSD; Firefox, mplayer and XFCE are all available there. It's as if you think the BSD family is something completely different and incompatible with the rest of the UNIX world.

  16. About as little as... on Do Good Programmers Need Agents? · · Score: 2

    ...programmers need to be referred to as "engineers" or the currently growing and even more retarded title, "architects".

  17. Re:Bitcoin... on Online Payment Firm Stripe Boots 3D Gun Designer Cody Wilson's Companies · · Score: 2

    Not sure I understand your response. He isn't dealing with cash, he is dealing with bank transfers, which are the complete opposite of anonymous. But the problem here isn't about doing anonymous transaction - this guy is after all not trying to be incognito; quite the opposite - the problem here is that banking and comporations have control over these traditional payment solutions. In contrast, they have absolutely no control at all over Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin etc.

  18. Bitcoin... on Online Payment Firm Stripe Boots 3D Gun Designer Cody Wilson's Companies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...and other cryptographic currencies. This is one out of many reasons why we need them.

  19. Re:I thought the lower receiver is the weapon.. on Online Payment Firm Stripe Boots 3D Gun Designer Cody Wilson's Companies · · Score: 2

    Depending on country, various parts are classed as "vital". In Sweden for example, barrels and slides ("upper receiver") demand licenses, but a lower receiver doesn't.

  20. It stands out clearly that... on Ask Slashdot: Can You Say Something Nice About Systemd? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ...for better or worse, quite special conditions have to be met in the engineering department of a user's brain in order to like systemd.

  21. Re:all on Which Android Devices Sacrifice Battery-Life For Performance? · · Score: 0

    I get between 4 and 5 days (which includes ~4-5 hours of total use) per charge on my 3 years old iPhone 4S, with 3G enabled. If I play and surf a lot more the time obviously drop; if I don't do much more than handle calls on it a charge gets me one week.

    I took this screenshot yesterday for an "Android friend" who refused to believe any smartphone would reach into a 2nd day on a charge: http://i.imgur.com/YxZjboT.jpg

    Any idea where those can be bought?

  25. Re:Did Apple screw GTAT? Or vice versa? on Apple Sapphire Glass Supplier GT Advanced Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    It may be that the yield or the quality/specs/durability/etc. didn't meet the request.
