  1. Re:Context on Red Hat is Planning To Deprecate KDE on RHEL By 2024 (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    They are putting sendmail to bed. Finally. Long live Postfix.

  2. Nonsense. RH offers RHEL Desktop and RHEL Workstation for desktop use.

  3. https://www.reuters.com/articl...

    "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department late on Sunday filed suit after California Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation to restore open internet protections known as net neutrality in the state after the Trump administration repealed the rules in December 2017."

     

  4. Re:I hate Evernote on Evernote Slashes 15 Percent of Its Workforce (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    Your screencaps are telling. Thanks for sharing them. I want our old Evernote back!

  5. Re:So ... on Evernote Slashes 15 Percent of Its Workforce (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    It may be time to resurrect fuckedcompany.com

    Oh hell yeah. That site keep me laughing during the entire dot-bomb era. My employer at the time even made an appearance on it. That site was priceless. Was sorry to see it fade away.

  6. Re:It's simple.. on Why Is American Mass Transit So Bad? It's a Long Story. (citylab.com) · · Score: 0

    ... So, no, congestion won't get worse, because congestion is a result of human behavior...

    Wish I had some mod points for you. Well said. Too many people don't realize that simple fact that "stop and go" is a human problem - not a technology or engineering problem. We are sitting in traffic because the poor drivers in front of us follow too close, can't merge, can't say within the flow of traffic, don't signal, etc.

    We can try to engineer around the problem but as long as humans are at the wheel, congestion is a fact of life.

  7. Re:Blue Screen While Upgrading on Ask Slashdot: Any Idiosyncrasies of the New Windows 10 April 2018 Update? · · Score: 1

    Any self-respecting programmer knows there is no holy grail OS, not Linux, not Windows, not OS/X or whatever OS you can think of.

    Well said! (and I'm a Red Hat guy) None of them are perfect and each has their own place and target market.

  8. Re:The year of Windows? on More Unix Tools Coming To Windows 10 (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Knowing Microsoft, we will soon see "Client Access Licenses" for this too.

  9. Re:Cloudy with a chance of rain. on Cloud-Based Repository Leak Exposes 123 Million American Households (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    This is what I'm talking about:

    "Default security settings for S3 buckets usually allow only authorised users to access the contents; however, UpGuard reports the bucket was configured via permission settings to allow any AWS "Authenticated Users" to download its stored data."

    Alteryx or whatever the fuck their name is set moron permissions and exposed their sensitive data. Amazon can only do so much to engineer around pure stupidity.

  10. Re:Cloudy with a chance of rain. on Cloud-Based Repository Leak Exposes 123 Million American Households (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    This one isn't on Amazon. These rank amateurs at Alteryx didn't configure their shit properly. Morons don't understand how to protect their data then they poo-poo reports of the severity of the breach. They really don't know what the hell they are doing.

    This company needs to die.

  11. Re:Not a big deal on New 'Illusion Gap' Attack Bypasses Windows Defender Scans (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Nonsense. The OS has done its job. If the end-user chooses to bypass a security warning, the onus is on the end-user, not the operating system.

  12. We aren't talking about artists making a living. We're talking about the availability and popularity of streaming services. Stop trying to shovel your agenda into this thread.

  13. Agreed. Between services like Spotify, Apple iTunes, Amazon, Digitally Imported, and others, music is available on-tap and for pocket change.

  14. Johnnie Cochran calls your "Trial of the Century" preposterous and intends to sue. Also, OJ wants to have a word with you.

  15. Disable ad-blocker for a paragraph of twitter crap on Google Chrome Engineer Says Windows Defender 'the Only Well Behaved Antivirus', Cites 'Tons of Empirical Data' (onmsft.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    I clicked on the link, get a popup asking me to disable my ad-blocker...fine. Done. Turns out the article is about a paragraph and just regurgitates some twitter garbage. Utterly useless site.

  16. Wish I had some mod points. You seem to be the only one who actually understands wtf is happening here.

  17. Not your father's NASA anymore on NASA Signals Interest In Extending Commercial Spaceflight To the Moon (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    What a crying shame. This agency is rapidly working its way towards extinction. Or at best, will become some Washington DC "space committee" that rubber-stamps private ventures into space. They might as well start selling off or spinning off their successful ventures now. Maybe they can sell naming rights to the KSC or MSFC too.

    So damn sad.

  18. Steam down ATM on Millions Of Steam Game Keys Stolen After Hacker Breaches Gaming Site (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Related or no? I'm unable to access any Steam functions other than games at the moment. No discussions. No store. No community page. Can access other sites fine though.

  19. OP should get a blog on I Want a Kindle Killer · · Score: 1

    This is slashdot, damnit.

  20. Glitch? GLITCH? on Blue Light of Death Plagues PlayStation 4 · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's a little more than a "glitch" when the unit don't play games, display output, or otherwise do what it's supposed to do.

  21. Re:too little, too late on Mark Shuttleworth Apologizes for Trademark Action Against Fix Ubuntu · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Quit being such a drama queen. The company screwed up. He screwed up. Everybody apologized. Life goes on. One mistake does not a Microsoft make.

  22. Re:Yeah, right ... on Facebook Comment Prompts Arrests In Cyberbullying Suicide Case · · Score: 1

    That's no damned excuse. This kind of behavior by children is unacceptable. If the parents neglect their duties then law enforcement has to step in. So now my tax dollars are paying for your neglectful parents. :(

  23. Re: Not News to Fox on Why DOJ Didn't Need a "Super Search Warrant" To Snoop On Fox News' E-mail · · Score: 1

    Nonsense. Rosen reported that the DPK was going to detonate another nuke. That isn't sensitive material. Rosen didn't go into the means and methods in his reporting. Just that a detonation was coming up. BFD..

  24. Re:The Slashdot Trifecta on Why We Should Celebrate Snapchat and Encourage Ephemeral Communication · · Score: 1

    You've got my vote. Where can I send my slashdot subscription fee?

  25. Did Snapchat write this story? on Why We Should Celebrate Snapchat and Encourage Ephemeral Communication · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This "stories" has all the hallmarks of some marketing dribble written by Snapchat. It has the right buzzwords, is full of itself, and touts some silly app as the future of the Internet.

    When did Slashdot sell its soul and start accepting stories from companies?
