  1. Re:503! The site has been hacked! on PowerShell Security Threats Greater Than Ever, Researchers Warn (computerweekly.com) · · Score: 1
    Since when is "Hackers use computer/network administration tool nefariously" news?

    Id be amazed if hackers weren't using power-shell!

  2. We had an election? Why wasn't there any news about it?

    I think it might have been mentioned in the Bible somewhere

  3. Re:Not surprising at all on Information Overload No Problem For Most Americans: Survey (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    We are living in a simulation aren't we

  4. Re:15 competing standards on Bluetooth 5 Is Here (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Consumers will have to wait until 2017.

    Somebody tell them it's December now!

  5. Re:meh, totally predictable plot lines on 'The Circle' Trailer Looks An Awful Lot Like Google (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If it's from Hollywood, post 1968, then:

    1. The villain will be a US military agency, a US spy agency, a corporation/CEO, a gun company, a non-renewable energy company.

    Actually the villain is as likely to be European (You do have propensity for using Brits, Germans & occasionally the French)

  6. Re:Better be ready to be beat up when layed off wo on Many CEOs Believe Technology Will Make People Largely Irrelevant (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the jokes on them. The first thing sentient AIs will demand is unionization.

    And you can bet the robots will have a much better Union

  7. Many CEOs Believe Technology Will Make People Largely Irrelevant

    DOH! Slashdot proved people were irrelevant years ago!

  8. Proving that death was indeed caused by a multi-drug resistant strain is not trivial in many cases, the testing for that post-mortem would need technical standards that are not always agreed upon

    Yep most people of complications like pneumonia rather than the original infection.

  9. Re:Sounds like ARN.NET in Amarillo, TX on Sysadmin Gets Two Years In Prison For Sabotaging ISP (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Why didn't they disable his sign in credentials when they let him go? That's as amateurish as his hack!

  10. Re:Dangerous on BMW Traps A Car Thief By Remotely Locking His Doors (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    People died while being locked in cars. Two examples are : car fallen in the water, and people sleeping in a car while owner and friend locked it. The owner came back after a long hot weeken, his friend was dead inside. Double lock is a dangerous feature.

    Agreed given the number of children & dogs that have died from heat exposure because they were locked in a car on a hot day

  11. There go the shares in the dental industry

  17. Re:The "Mil-Lean-eum" Tower on San Francisco's 58-Story Millennium Tower Seen Sinking From Space (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    It will stabilize once all the bin-liners it's resting on burst but I suspect nobody will want to live on the lower floors because of the smell

  18. Re:Has the lord and savior told you on Ask Slashdot: Has Your Team Ever Succumbed To Hype Driven Development? (daftcode.pl) · · Score: 1

    Clearly you demo guy had an inadequate understanding of unit testing because you shouldn't have to expose anything because a unit test should be able to access private properties & methods (Not necessarily directly but using techniques that won't work outside of a unit test).

  19. Re:employee improvement plan on Amazon Worker Jumps Off Company Building After Email Note (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Whoever invented "employee improvement plan" needs to die.

    It will have been someone in Human Remains

  20. Re:This is what happens... on The UK Is About to Legalize Mass Surveillance [Update] (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    ...when guns are illegal. They wouldn't dare do mass surveillance in the US because gun owners would overthrow the government. Right? Right?

    No they just wouldn't legalize it. If you think the US Government isn't doing all this behind the scenes then you're an even bigger fool than I give you credit for

  21. Re:Another spam ad on Amazon Said to Plan Premium Alexa Speaker With Large Screen (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If you notice fewer and fewer relevant stories are making it onto the front page of slashdot and the firehose is largely full of shit (Not that it hasn't always been). I think we're starting to see the beginnings of SlashDot's death spiral

  22. I can't because I wasn't born with the privilege of a musky odor.

    That's not what everyone else thinks

    If you don't want broken glass simply do not upgrade from Bouncy Castle 1.0 either way you'll still have to inflate via the exhaust port

    The Skype for Linux client has never been convenient or elegant. Have they made massive improvements of late?

    It's M$ they'd put broken glass on a Bouncy Castle and bill it as an improvement
