  1. Re:First they came for the nav buttons... on Apple's Next Year iPhone Won't Have the Home Button: NYTimes · · Score: 1

    Try swiping the front face of your Android phone while the screen is turned off.

    Does nothing on my Nexus 6P. Please elaborate.

  2. Re:Only needs to be *sold* without encryption on California Bill Would Require Phone Crypto Backdoors · · Score: 2

    Heh, reversibly encrypt the call log data. They already have access to the call log through the mobile service provider.

  3. That's just our Internet down here. Too many sheep blocking the road when you're late for church. It's very frustrating at times.

  4. Re:Ok, I'll stick my neck on the chopping block on Amazon's Delivery Drones Will Be Able To Track Your Location · · Score: 1

    Are you implying theft of goods and the drones by people with nets, or that the drones are purely for tracking people.

  5. Re:VanillaJS Framework on JavaScript Devs: Is It Still Worth Learning jQuery? · · Score: 1

    Slashdot using it isn't really an outstanding endorsement. I mean, they can't even get their comment system working right. So Vanilla JS doesn't help much there.

  6. Re:Missing the point. on Silk Road Journal Found On Ulbricht's Laptop: "Everyone Knows Too Much" · · Score: 1

    Ok my morning routine:

    1. Wake up.
    2. Murder my neighbour.
    3. Have a shower.
    4. Have breakfast.

    See, nothing illegal there.

  7. Re:what kind of hardware requirements? on Stephen Hawking's New Speech System Is Free and Open-source · · Score: 4, Funny

    Probably won't matter. I'm sure someone will get it all working on a Raspberry Pi.

  8. Re:And to allow the NSA/Austrailian gov access to on Australian Post Office Opens Mail Forwarding Warehouse In the USA · · Score: 1

    It would allow the Australian NSA access without violating those pesky laws they're supposed to follow...

    Australian Security Intelligence Organisation or ASIO.

  9. Re:Why is he worried on Elon Musk Warns Against Unleashing Artificial Intelligence "Demon" · · Score: 1

    But...NO2 got turned into some weird NCO thing.

  10. Re:Yay :D on If You're Connected, Apple Collects Your Data · · Score: 1

    What do you lose in Safari and Spotlight?

  11. Re:Need a big leak on The Executive Order That Led To Mass Spying, As Told By NSA Alumni · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If it's just Facebook, then it'll be claimed as a Facebook security breach and not anything related to NSA.

    You would want some sort of release of data that collates Facebook accounts to traffic offenses and something to do with cellphone data.

  12. Re:I get it. on Comcast Tells Government That Its Data Caps Aren't Actually "Data Caps" · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, it is closer to 15 years ago. This is in 2001. ADSL wasn't common enough in New Zealand until about 2004.

  13. Re:I get it. on Comcast Tells Government That Its Data Caps Aren't Actually "Data Caps" · · Score: 1

    I remember dial up plans that were capped at like, 150 hours of usage. So unlimited time based access isn't something I would have thought of as weird about ten years ago.

    ADSL came along and it shifted from time based restriction to data cap.

  14. Re:I get it. on Comcast Tells Government That Its Data Caps Aren't Actually "Data Caps" · · Score: 1

    I didn't even mean it that way. But it works.

  15. I get it. on Comcast Tells Government That Its Data Caps Aren't Actually "Data Caps" · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have access to unlimited amounts of petrol because I am allowed to purchase as many tanks as I need.

  16. Re: Isn't this pointless? on Google Is Backing a New $300 Million High-Speed Internet Trans-Pacific Cable · · Score: 1

    So really, it's cheaper to lay new than to upgrade existing.

  17. Re:In Germany on EFF Releases Wireless Router Firmware For Open Access Points · · Score: 1

    How does it bypass that?

  18. Re:Where the fault lies? on Avast Buys 20 Used Phones, Recovers 40,000 Deleted Photos · · Score: 1

    But how many people actually reset phone and reset data? I'd imagine a lot of people simply manually delete their photos and unhook their Internet accounts from the phone. Hardly a wipe.

  19. Re: hmmmmm on Windows 9 To Win Over Windows 7 Users, Disables Start Screen For Desktop · · Score: 1

    ok.

  20. It's when most of the time they are only divisible by itself (and one), and only when the number feels like it will it be divided by another number.

  21. Re:Hydrogen? on Toyota's Fuel Cell Car To Launch In Japan Next March · · Score: 1

    Hey, don't we all want flying cars?

  22. Re:Just imagine "if" on Congressman Asks NSA To Provide Metadata For "Lost" IRS Emails · · Score: 5, Funny

    National Storage Archives.

    Type 'Google' into Bing bar to get Google to search for 'Hotmail' to look at their email and then forward it to their grandchildren.

    Oz Can Suck Us is what I read every time.
