  1. I am so sick of big-conspiracytheorists paying for this crap. You are all sheeple!

    In all honesty though, the article just seems to mention some minor inconsistencies in the work, not that it was all completely wrong. Clickbaiting much, slashdot?

  2. Re:$3000!? on Microsoft Leaks New HoloLens Details (mashable.com) · · Score: 2

    Well, this one works with both eyes, so twice the cost!

  3. Re:You get what you pay for on Cheap Web Cams Can Open Permanent, Difficult-To-Spot Backdoors Into Networks · · Score: 2

    There is that but this is old old old news.

    https://youtu.be/B8DjTcANBx0

    And back then it was even big, high quality (and price tag) cameras that were at fault.

    Basically, these sorts of things must be on their own vlan and cut off from all access that isn't to the monitoring station/area.

  4. Re:Future legislation will require... on California Legislation Would Require License Plates, Insurance For Drones (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah I really don't see this being bad, it is strangely coherent for legislators.

  5. Re:Competing is for Cows on Porsche Is Building a Tesla Competitor (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    Haven't seen you in the last few stories I have poked into. Good to see you mooing again :)

  6. Heh, sorry then, my humour must have missed a beat today.

    Ahem, they just want to double down on the fun...

  7. Hypocrite on France Using Emergency Powers To Prevent Climate Change Protests (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They are just joining in on the fun, America, UK, Australia have all been abusing legislature regarding terrorists for many many years now. France will not be denied their piece of the totalitarian pie.

  8. Re:Go back on Yahoo Denies Ad-blocking Users Access To Email (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    I checked, their ad-free version is not available in my region and, even if you have that, it only disables the sidebar ads, not the ones that are in your mail feed.

  9. Just get a license and buy a gun? Seems rather simple...

  10. Re:A really effective response on Australian State Bans Possession of Blueprints For 3D Printing Firearms (computerworld.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Parliament is in ACT, not NSW.

    As for the topic at hand, just have the file stored on an overseas server, mount it over SSH. Or you know, get a gun license, buy some guns.

  11. Re:How about this... on Ask Slashdot: Securing a Journalist's Laptop Against a Police Search? · · Score: 1

    I don't know what I expected. Clicking random youtube links on slashdot is like playing russian roulette with your mood.

    About halfway through the first video, very very interesting stuff.

  12. Re:Why did NASA lie about it being destroyed? on Junkyard Owner Saves Lunar Rover Prototype (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    RTFA, it was purchased at auction from NASA, then rotted in someone's yard, then they tried to scrap it to get some cash. Scrap-yard owner decided it was worth saving and has done.

  13. Re:Serves you right... on Windows 10 Upgrades Are Being Forced On Some Users (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    No, you are the idiot. If that were the case then it has already installed and you CAN'T turn it off (in windows 10).

  14. Re:Serves you right... on Windows 10 Upgrades Are Being Forced On Some Users (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    No, just go into optional updates, select the windows 10 install update and right-click "hide update".

    Bam, it won't auto-run.

  15. Re:Here you go... on Scandal Erupts In Unregulated Online World of Fantasy Sports · · Score: 1

    I know right!

    It wasn't until halfway into TFS that I realised this wasn't about the new BloodBowl PC game.

    However, it is good they are finally admitting that pro sports and in particular betting on them and hoping to win, is a fantasy.

  16. Re:America on DHS Detains Mayor of Stockton, CA, Forces Him To Hand Over His Passwords · · Score: 1

    Not 'Merican' at all. But I know a few high-functioning psychopaths and a little lack of fear/anxiety might be a good change for your leaders.

  17. Re:America on DHS Detains Mayor of Stockton, CA, Forces Him To Hand Over His Passwords · · Score: 1

    Actually a good, well-focused psychopath would likely do a much better job of it than the people you have been voting in.

  18. Re:Well, news? Yes, but for Nerds? on UK Man Gets Britain's First-Ever Conviction For Illegal Drone Use · · Score: 1

    A 3D printed drone that connects to the IoT and has iPhone connectivity with an app that hacks cars!

  20. Hardware Access on Android Lollipop Can Be Hacked With Very Long Password · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, if you have hardware access to a device you own it. Nothing new to see.

  21. Re:EV conversion on Porsche Unveils Its First Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Well, technically, his prototype for the Tiger tank was a hybrid diesel-electric. Powerplant drove a generator which ran electricity to two big electric motors that drove the wheels, kinda like what the new CAT 'dozers use.

  22. Re:Given that Air Force brass hate the A-10... on F-35 To Face Off Against A-10 In CAS Test · · Score: 1

    Heck, the A-10 might even out-dogfight it...

    Jk, really. But yeah, they are going to bias the tests for whatever outcome they want. Then the guys who know all this will ignore the tests and submit a request to have the A-10s maintained for another umpteen years. Then the guys at the top will ignore that and issue them whatever gives the most kickbacks.

    This one do? Okay, that is a fair chunk of Christians covered right there, not sure where the rest stand.

    We just leave him go. Whenever he misses his meds he tends to do this.
