  1. Re:alt: guys who built iphone know how it works. on Apple Can Extract Texts, Photos, Contacts From Locked iPhones · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sorry, I was too brief. Apple doesn't include a file manager because thy want to try to control the experience. (Bad enough). MS doesn't include a file manager because they can't do it without totally destroying security on the device. At least that is their official story. I think the real answer is much worse.

    MS on the other hand, really don't know how to build a filemanager for their phone, so they gave up.

  3. Re:I don't understand big cities - off topic on In SF: an App For Auctioning Off Your Public Parking Spot · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Culture is the guy who PLAYS the violin. People that scurry around in ovecrowded cities arguing over parking spots and the regulations thereof is... something else.

  4. long range planning always uses 3 generations. on Electromagnetic Noise Found To Affect Bird Navigation · · Score: -1, Troll

    WWII is finally over as german scientists reject jet engines and embrace the mystical world of the spotted owl. Still, I am slightly uneasy about this and now support U.S. efforts to develop superior spotted owl drones.

  5. Re:getting real sick of this on First Transistors Made Entirely of 2-D Materials · · Score: 1

    How many 2 dimensional "plates" can you stack on each other before they occupy a third dimension? I would say, "quite a few". See? you can always use sufficiently complex explanations to hide behind cleverness. But if you can't answer a question a five year old can reason out, then you're just being clever. Now you will object, and say "I said CAN not MUST" and I will say, oh, aren't you a clever idiot. That's what theoretical physicists do when they aren't doing anything.

  6. Why are you teaching yourself to code? on Ask Slashdot: Beginner To Intermediate Programming Projects? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You don't *know* anything. Neither do the 100,000 other lame "programmers" who taught themselves to code. If you take a couple of really good courses you have a chance of making pretty good money fixing their crap.

  7. Re:Comcast doesn't care on Comcast: Destroying What Makes a Competitive Internet Possible · · Score: 5, Funny

    Comcast wasn't your only choice. You could have voted NO. Even a commie Russian gets to vote NO.
    But Americans? Nope. Bend over and take it.
    I've had dial up instead of Comcast. I've had nothing, for short periods of time. I've thrown Comcast out of every property I've ever owned.
    Hell I even ordered Comcast just so I could return the equipment the next day and keep the batteries.
    Comcast is the Edith Keeler of the internet.

    This is just another example of STUPID that can easily be fixed by adding a few more lines of shit code and a couple million dollar layers of incompetent beureaucracy. I feel bad for the NSA on this one.

  14. the old customer vs consumer confusion again on Verizon and New Jersey Agree 4G Service Equivalent to Broadband Internet · · Score: 2

    Customers, have the responsibility to know what they want and be willing to shop somewhere else.
    Consumers open wide and ingest whatever is shoved down there throats.
    Then of course there is New Jersey. I can't help you with that.

  15. Re:Lemme guess.... on Intentional Backdoor In Consumer Routers Found · · Score: -1, Troll

    What's with all the NSA stuff already? Your ISP is tired of sending out techs to swap your perfectly good leased router that the tech from india was unable to talk you into resetting, because you would have lost your pirate bay port forwarding setup. Just because the tech from india is following a script, doesn't mean your not stupid.

  16. Re:"just like physicists!" on The Limits of Big Data For Social Engineering · · Score: 1

    Sure, but ultimately we are talking about predictive behavior, and oddly enough the problem becomes binary, thusly:
    In an easily controlled environment a person will be given 2 options, or choices if you will. One will be relatively innocuous and maybe even related to the subject at hand. The other will be a horrendously stupid choice that may result in damage to life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness.
    There will be a large warning banner on the top of the screen advising participants: Do not look directly at the screen when making your choice.
    Nature insists on allowing for the possibility of humans to correctly interact with her - and bets against them.

    FUD? I didn't even know we had a Congressional EMP Commission. I feel much better now. I think we should all vote to re-elect all our congressmen so they can continue their great work. What do the rest of you dumbasses think? Wait for the next election, to get the punchline.

    I think it's incumbent on the original project to rename itself BrokenSSL. Just to avoid confusion.
    OK, not to avoid confusion, just to give them another chance at adopting a freakin convention held by others. Besides, BrokenSSL flows off the tongue much better than - Steaming_Pile_of_Shit_OpenSSL.

  20. Re:Ye Olde "drill bit through the platters?" on Where Old Hard Disks (with Digital Secrets) Go To Die · · Score: 1

    Not if you are counting on the disk spinning. But if you are seriously going through the trouble because your data *is* really sensitive, (even a HIPPA breach is a serious liability), then i suggest to you that all the sections of the disk without holes are pretty much readable. So, the long and short of this is, if you have a real need to destroy data, better not leave it up to the kid with the Ryobi.

    but i've come to expect it from the same people that don't believe in God. Most of the advice and sentiment and argument i see here is really lacking on both sides because they worship money. And they don't even know why. just for the record, i prefer being rich. but it's probably due to enjoying what i work for. some of the best times of my life were on a very low budget.
