  1. Re:Nothing odd here, no sir... on Filmmaker Installed Security Software On a Decoy Phone To Spy On Smartphone Thieves (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    He lives in Amsterdam. He doesn't have to have income - he gets social security!

  2. I made an Adroid app for this once... on 150 Filmmakers and Photojournalists Call On Nikon, Sony, and Canon To Build in Encryption (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It only leaves the public key on the phone, and the private key on your computer (which presumably is in a safe environment), and encrypts the files one-way. You can't even review them on the phone itself. Needless to say, nobody understood what the app was for... so I pulled it.

  3. People want to upgrade on Windows 10 Update Broke DHCP, Knocked Users Off the Internet (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    And fix this bug - but they can't! They don't have an IP address!

  4. The guy's going to have to give up all of his toys and he's never going to qualify for a gun license again in his lifetime, right?

    Hm... maids...

  6. Re: 75% of california's poeple are brain dead on One Third of California's Trees Are Dead (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't have to replace all of it. I doubt the rainfall in the whole of California over the last few years was nil. You may be able to make up the difference.

  7. Re:Censorship has never improved society on German Minister: Facebook Should Be Treated Like a Media Company Rather Than a Technology Platform (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't get it. Are you blaming the radio, the machetes, or the people? Or are you perhaps saying that there are plenty of organizations out there that could kill a million people in two weeks time, but that don't, because they would be held accountable, even if eventually.

    "The Nazis were able to rise in the Weimarer Republic for many reasons, and one of them was that they were able to poison the political climate by extraordinary hate speech and by roaming the streets and beating up political opponents."

    I don't know if you're doing this as a rhetorical trick (that would be ironic!) but your 'and' in this sentence conflates using speech and beating people up (because you seem to suggest that the Nazis used other tricks as well, so this is, as it were 'one item on the list'). Try to keep the discussion pure (hah!) - they are not the same thing. An argument against the one (using speech), is not an argument against the other (beating people up), but you make it seem like it is.

  9. Re:That is a huge proportion on Earth's Plants Are Countering Some of the Effects of Climate Change (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't 'save the earth' by stopping, or slowing, global warming. The earth will be just fine if we don't. A lot of life will be just fine. In fact, a lot of humans might be just fine. So a thermo-nuclear war would be defying the purpose a bit.

  10. Which is worse?

  11. Re:So no one read the fucking article? on Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic To Lead EPA Transition (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    "So no one read the fucking article?"

    This. Is. SLAAAAASHHHDOOOOOT!!!!!!

  12. Re:MAD - and some of you will be on Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic To Lead EPA Transition (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not fair. Germany was, until not so long ago, not even *allowed* to defend itself.

  13. Why wireless? on Brain Implants Allow Paralyzed Monkeys To Walk (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    That has absolutely no bearing to this research. In fact, I'd probably prefer mine to be wired. I'll carry the wire and not the extra battery. And not worry about missing packets.

  14. Re:We Cut Off Our Nose To Spite Our Face! on Donald Trump Wins US Presidency (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought it was already halfway finished?

  15. You know what they should support? Dates. If not mentioned on the page, then filtered out of the headers, the headers of any subsequently loaded material, their EXIF data, yomama, or whatever. I don't know how many times I searched for a solution to a problem on the web, and found one, but then realised that I needed to know the date that such a page was produced at. Because I just couldn't tell whether or not that solution was relevant to me And the date would not be on the page. Terrible!

  16. He's talking about Saint Nicholas, so it's either Belgium or the Netherlands. If he's from the Netherlands, he's talking out of his ass, because emigration figures aren't at all that high (more like 125K/y and no word on their educational status), and most emigrate to Germany and Sweden (i.e. they stay in the neighbourhood).

  17. Re:Not just Southern Spain DGW - Dinosaurs WARMED! on Climate Change Rate To Turn Southern Spain To Desert By 2100, Report Warns (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    "You might have noticed that a lot of them died out during the couple million years they "ruled" the earth."

    They mostly miniaturized and became lizards and birds. Also: 'couple million years'?

  18. Re:You could start by... on Slashdot Asks: How Can We Prevent Packet-Flooding DDOS Attacks? (oceanpark.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, just intranet address ranges are allowed, both source and destination. Or some link-local, or site-local multicast. It's all that these devices want to do anyway.

  19. Re:After watching on Should Journalists Ignore Some Leaked Emails? (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    A system which is based not on several levels of first-past-the-post, but instead on total votes counted for the entire nation, cannot be rigged.

  20. Re:yeah butt... on Should Journalists Ignore Some Leaked Emails? (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    That is beauty on par with Lewis Carroll. I bow to you, sir. Even the last 'all', which disturbs the rhythm of the second sentence, is nicely... disturbing.

  22. Re:Kinda makes you wonder... on Researchers Bypass ASLR Protection On Intel Haswell CPUs (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    Of course it does. ASLR does not just protect you from local exploits, but also from remote ones.

    It's Vodak. V.O.D.A.K. Bloody hell. Are you on the Internet or what?!
