  1. Re:Forgot one detail... on Samsung Laptop Bug Is Not Linux Specific · · Score: 1

    Alt F4 is still wrong though. It's still the "quit" function. I tested it on a linux box.

    That's Ctrl+Alt+F4

  3. Re:How about the US-Canadian/US-Mexico border? on DHS Can Seize Your Electronics Within 100 Mi.of US Border, Says DHS · · Score: 1

    Congress critters are part of the elite. They are immune from such things.

  4. I'm betting that someone from a TLA put pressure on youtube

    The "border" is unfortunately whatever the feds damn well say it is.

    All they have to do is call you a terrorist and you can be detained indefinitely and you'll never make it to court to challenge it in the first place.

    Earning money is not evil.

    It's how you earn it and what you do with it that counts.

    Keeping your mouth shut has less to do with job performance and more to do with not pissing off someone that has the power to fire you.

    It's not good for business, just your career.

  8. Re:Wrong feedback on Digital Pen Vibrates To Indicate Bad Spelling, Grammar and Penmanship · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's about the same as the difference between parity and ECC.

  9. Re:whitelist on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Handle SPF For Spam Filtering? · · Score: 1

    That sounds more like someone spoofing your domain with their IP.

    If that's the case it would appear SPF is working correctly and it's the reports that are bogus for being suckered by a forged From header.

  10. Re:If this can happen ... on Site Copies Content and Uses the DMCA to Take Down the Original Articles · · Score: 1

    If you look closer, you'll notice that while the penalties are the same, the actions that are punished are not.

    The counter notice is held to a higher standard because falsely claiming to not infringe is punishable as perjury, whereas the original notice is not so bound.

    The notice is only perjury if you falsely claim to represent the copyright holder. The counter notice however is held to stricter rules, and there are things you can do in a notice that you cannot do in a counter notice.

  11. sad on First City In the US To Pass an Anti-Drone Resolution · · Score: 1

    I'm betting this will be ruled unconstitutional as an infringment of federal airspace prerogative as delegated to the FAA. Not to mention the usual "interstate commerce" bullshit.

  12. whitelist on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Handle SPF For Spam Filtering? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Use SPF as part of a whitelist/blacklist scheme.

    For sources that have their shit together, trust their SPF records as an absolute metric.

    SPF does work if set up correctly.

    That only specifies civil damages.

  14. Re:If this can happen ... on Site Copies Content and Uses the DMCA to Take Down the Original Articles · · Score: 1

    Just require takedowns to be under the same penalty of perjury provisions as counter-notices.

    Alleged victims might think twice about filing a frivolous takedown if they could go to jail for it.

  15. Try training a neural network to recognize patterns.

    You could also have a rotation of shifts of humans responsible for each segment and have them reviewed in parallel.

    Fox is a large corporation.

    It is therefore immune.

    Laws are only for poor peons don't you know?

    Basically their message is as follows:

    "You're pissing us off by having a feature that competes with us, and we have an army of lawyers to throw at you if you don't back down."

    This is blatant intimidation.

    This isn't a case of "bend over and take it", this is outright rape.

  20. Re:So Floor It ! on San Diego Drops Red-Light Cameras · · Score: 1

    I was addressing how the cameras trigger red lights on purpose just to frame drivers.

    It's rather like playing a game of dodge the cracks and having the playground bully shove you right into one.
