  1. Yes. on Ask Slashdot: Are Interactive Computing Devices Addictive? · · Score: 2

    Anything can be addictive if you like it.

  2. Oh no! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! on Monsanto Leaks Suggest It Tried To Kill Cancer Research On Roundup Weed Killer (rt.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm holding all of you responsible for letting Monsanto get away with this for so long.

  3. Now both projects are exactly half as relevant to their purpose. Good job guys.

  4. SIGH. So fucking obvious I'm getting tired of it. on FCC Says Its Specific Plan To Stop DDoS Attacks Must Remain Secret (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    They don't have any plan to stop or even mitigate DDOS attacks. I bet most their "expert" IT staff barely even knows what one is, and the rest of them are the ones actually carrying out the DDOS attacks in the first place.

    Nothing more to see here. This country is finished. Move along.

  5. Braindead conclusion. on HackerRank Tries To Calculate Which US States Have The Best Developers (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 0

    The truth: Competent developers in Wyoming wonder to themselves "Why the fuck do I live in Wyoming if my skills are in such high demand in Silicon Valley? I wonder if I could hack it somewhere exciting and pleasant to live. Maybe I should take some online tests to see how my skills stand up against people NOT in Wyoming."

    Meanwhile, developers already living in California have better shit to do with their weekends than volunteer for market demographics research.

  6. Re:Dumbasses. on Congress Asks US Agencies For Kaspersky Lab Cyber Documents (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    sigh...

    You may be right.

  7. Kapersky can't be involved. That would be way too obvious. This has got to be a distraction. I fear it will be a costly one too...

  8. Re:Doesn't this describe ALL exchanges? on US Indicts Suspected Russian 'Mastermind' of $4 Billion Bitcoin Laundering Scheme (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Something to do with getting caught doing it, nothing more.

  9. Re:Get a cheap PC that 10 years old, add PFSense on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Avoid Routers With Locked Firmware? · · Score: 1

    I'm highly skeptical, after hearing the same thing assumed about the original and finding out that the "USB 2.0" connectivity was effectively constrained to USB 1.0 speeds due to the bus it was attached to.

  10. Global network of labs will... on Global Network of Labs Will Test Security of Medical Devices (securityledger.com) · · Score: 1

    ... all soon receive cease-and-deist orders.

  11. If you're gonna quote fake bible passages, at least get the syntax right.

  12. Re:"simply be held a data-hostage" on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For a Touring Band With Mobile Data? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Fun fact: Finding things rich people don't want to waste their time figuring out and letting them just throw money at it instead is a great way to get paid way more than you're worth.

  13. Re: Abandonware or an escaped experiment? on Mysterious Mac Malware Has Infected Hundreds of Victims For Years (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Or, maybe the initial infection got them the information they were looking for right away. Mission accomplished, fledgeling bot-net abandoned.

  14. Re:Get a cheap PC that 10 years old, add PFSense on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Avoid Routers With Locked Firmware? · · Score: 1

    Capping out at ~10 megabits of throughput is a non-starter for some.

  15. Re:Capacity planning on Disastrous 'Pokemon Go' Event Leads To Mass Refunds (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, as far as I can tell.

  16. Re:Denial Of Service Attack eh? on FCC Says It Has No Documentation of Cyberattack That It Claims Happened (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    "tripped"

  17. You don't need A.I. for that. on Researchers Have Figured Out How To Fake News Video With AI (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    Call me when they can get the A.I. to reliably produce real news broadcasts.

  18. HBO GO is only like $15/month, which in most of the first world is less than the value of the time you'd spend trying to find a pirated copy of every new episode before your co-workers spoil it for you.

  19. Well, yours sure was! Next time set the timer for a bit longer.

    Hilarious.

  20. Re:It makes sense. on Oregon Passes First Statewide Bicycle Tax In Nation (washingtontimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Why only $200 bikes with 26" wheels? Why a one-time sales tax?

    If you have to ask that then you didn't think of the children.

  21. Re:We put everything in AWS on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Developer Secrets That Could Sink Your Business? · · Score: 2

    I've seen this with every single attempt to use AWS for cost savings.

  22. You didn't hire me. on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Developer Secrets That Could Sink Your Business? · · Score: 1

    You hired someone who wasn't smarter. They just seemed smarter because they were a lot better practiced liars. Additionally, the person inside your company who hired them is also themselves a liar. You should watch your back around both these people. They bear you and your company ill will.

  23. The real problem isn't the A.I. on Elon Musk Warns Governors: Regulate AI Before It's 'Too Late' (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    The real problem is we already have humans blindly following their orders.

  24. Re:Evergreen State on In America, Most Republicans Think Colleges Are Bad for the Country (chronicle.com) · · Score: 1

    There's no way he's actually even really a US citizen. Though, I do believe he desperately wishes he could be a Republican I doubt he even owns a MAGA hat that's not in a shitty low-res jpeg.

  25. Somehow I always knew it would end like this.
