  1. Re:You used what to write what? on Trend Micro Flaw Could Have Allowed Attacker To Steal All Passwords (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    You're letting your web app developers write security software now? How is Trend still even in business?

    Underwritten by the NSA. In light the Juniper scandal, I mean this seriously.

  2. They also claim the code to be 100% thetan-free.

  3. If anything, the problem now is Grease THEIVES, swiping it to use in their own diesels or fencing it.

    The degree of law-breaking by a federal agency is proportional to the level of pathetic bullshit offered as cover.

  4. If NSA employees can listen to all telephone calls, do you think that none of them notice an increase of traffic at a company and listen to the recordings to find stock tips?

    Bingo. Through this abuse, the NRA is now self-funding (at least for off-shore executive 'bonuses').

  5. You know what? on Should the US Change Metal Coins? (networkworld.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    but you know what? The vast majority of Norwegians pay by card anyhow

    You know what? The vast majority of Norwegians can be tracked in real time by their card purchases.

    What an efficient cage.

  6. I'd never expect any FedGov entity to stick up for US consumers about this abuse, but I'm surprised not to have read anything about the EU even looking into this (yet), but perhaps I've missed it.

  7. Puritanism on Why Do Americans Work So Much? · · Score: 1

    Puritanism pretty much covers all of the sicknesses that define the USA: sexuality (assigned, condemned, controlled, and judged by heterosexual men), employment (you don't have a job (or two, requiring you to use meth to stay awake)? you're a bum), violence (justified only for whites and LEO, but I repeat myself), drugs (have a beer, you pussy. weed? LOSER), holiday time (a day off? well, maybe we don't need you at all, then), religion (screw Separation of Church and State, but lie, cheat, and steal during business hours and only occasionally repenting on Sunday when the NFL isn't on), and politics (I know these billionaires have my best interests at heart).

    Looking at the state of things in the harsh, cold light of day, I'm not sure this noble attempt at representational democracy is worth (or even capable of) saving.

  8. Bonus on DoD Award To Recognize Drone Operators (securityweek.com) · · Score: 1

    Entitles the bearer to a half-off discount on La-Z-Boy purchases for the rest of their lives.

  9. Very Related on Time Warner Cable Warns 320,000 Customers of Possible Compromise (csoonline.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How often should we change all our unique passwords? Once a quarter? Monthly? In real-time, like changing phaser modulation when attacking the Borg?

  10. Rich bias on Free State Project 93% Towards Goal (freestateproject.org) · · Score: 2

    Moving to another state with a real likelihood of no equivalent employment just for an ideological cause, by definition is self-selecting for the upper reaches of the UMC or even higher. Now this crowd will instantly pipe up: "I code from home so no problem". How much _real_ broadband is available in New Hampshire? Where it is available is probably not too cheap, cost of living-wise (see first point).

    Libertarian: one with the enough luxuries of time and money to take a bold political stance.

  11. Umm on Uber In Retreat Across Europe · · Score: 1

    but that's not how things are done here in Germany," says Muller. "Everyone must respect the rules."

    ......

  12. Efficiency on The 3D Printers of CES: Extruders, Nozzles, and Metal Medium (hackaday.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    The printers are now so efficient, they only need one z.

  13. Whew! on Google Fixes Rooting Vulnerabilities In Android (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Just in time! I got the Lolipop update with the Stagefright fix on my Verizon Moto G two months ago.

    Since then I was starting to get the DTs from not having any Android vulnerabilities. Thanks all around!

  14. Expect on Entering the Age of Body-Worn Police Cameras (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    We can all expect a lot of sudden EMP-like interference that wipes out the most important parts of the cop *and* citizens' cam recordings.

    Not that it will have _anything_ to do with the little black box in the cops' other pocket.

  15. Majority of Americans on Majority of Americans OK With Warrantless Internet Surveillance (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    are easily-led fools - in many cases, intentionally so. I'm not really sure the lofty, albeit for most only hypothetical, goals of what the US should be is worth trying to save. Save it for who? The misogynists? The racists? The mouth-breathing open-carry folk? The greed-is-good crowd? The pants-wetting helicopter parents that want their offspring to remain weak, vulnerable, and dependent for all their lives? I think I'll just be an Internal ex-pat from here on out.

  16. Craigslist on New York Begins Public Gigabit Wi-Fi Rollout (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Kiosks might work in trendy, well lit, low crime areas. With cameras. And regular patrols.

    Like Craigslist purchases, all this stuff should be in police / sheriff office lobbies.

  17. I can guess one city on the current list on Cold War Nuclear Target Lists Declassified For First Time (gwu.edu) · · Score: 1

    Mecca, with the Kaaba at 0,0,0. Probably added on 9/12/2001.

  18. You're close on TSA Body Scanner Opt-out No Longer Guaranteed (slashgear.com) · · Score: 2

    Maybe when people buy houses they should all be required to have surveillance cameras installed.

    What will be next is real-time analysis of waste streams from peoples' homes (hey, it's a public utility, so...). Evidence of booze, drugs, diabetes, etc. will be shared with the police states' partners in the health insurance industry.

    The frog-boiling will start with those in public housing / assistance, because eff the poor, right?

  19. I was listening to NPR, and the interviewee mentioned that her research showed that for 40% of American children, the TV was on, and visible, during all three meals.

    Dinner tables in most US homes are no longer used for the designed purpose; I suspicion many folk don't even have one any more. But if they do, they share a room with a TV.

  20. Either way on Report: Google Partners With Ford To Make Self-Driving Cars (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    It isn't clear whether Ford would design a purpose-built vehicle for Google or supply a standard production car fitted with the sensors and computers that the car needs to guide itself down the road.

    Either way, the odds are good the Ford front end will yet again be cribbed from the Aston Martin style book.

  21. Playing into their hands on A Proposal For Dealing With Terrorist Videos On the Internet (vortex.com) · · Score: 2

    The West is still running all the plays in Bin Laden's playbook, I see.

    The very idea of censoring them proclaims our hypocrisy even more loudly than their crimes against humanity: Freedom of Speech (TM) is only allowed for White Christians. Even worse, it lends credence to their conceit that such videos can easily destroy the very concept of a secular, open, democratic society (although even that concept is fraying badly due to self-harm allowed by power-mad fascists). Cowardice, plain and simple.

  22. We're auditing our code on Cisco Systems Will Be Auditing Their Code For Backdoors (cisco.com) · · Score: 1

    Trust Us

  23. One interesting find was some of the big windmill turbines with real-time monitoring and everything. People installing this stuff really don't understand what they're doing.

    "WINDMILLS SHOULD NOT WORK THAT WAY!!"

  24. Tried watching that on HTTP Error Code 451 Approved For Censored Web Pages (mnot.net) · · Score: 0

    I tried watching Halt and Catch Fire, but I couldn't get past the one dude's eyebrows. I mean, short of using a machete, no one could.

  25. Debate? on Tim Cook Calls Apple's Tax Questions 'Political Crap' (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Other than Bernie Sanders pointing out the glaringly obvious (and thus, being assiduously marginalized by corporate-owned media), who the eff is having a 'debate' about stopping democracy-destroying corporate tax dodges?
