  1. I don't believe this. on Samsung Takes On Apple Pay By Acquiring Mobile Wallet Startup LoopPay · · Score: 1

    "Our goal has always been to build the smartest, most secure, user-friendly mobile wallet experience"

    Always or only since Apple released ApplePay?

  2. Re:Hey Apple, here's some free consulting on Apple Said To Be Working On a Pay TV Service · · Score: 1

    You can pass over ads in printed media or online. On TV or radio it eats up your time.

  3. Nah, I'm pushing 50 :) School decades ago.

  4. Re:As a parent, which requires no testing or licen on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 1

    Hey man, he saved one whole byte doing that.

  5. LOL on Alan Turing's Notes Found After Being Used As Insulation At Bletchley Park · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    So I've been in meetings all day, then finally get home and I saw this story on /.'s feed. I thought, "ah, it'll be good for some immature homo jokes"

    Thank you, /., you did not disappoint. I'm crying from laughing so hard at the from the inane, puerile jokes that I seek out at times likes these.
    If you don't like that, well fuck you, too.

  6. Misleading headline on Inside the Largest Virtual Psychology Lab In the World · · Score: 1

    I was expecting this to be about slashdot.

  7. Re: What did you expect? on Google Handed To FBI 3 Wikileaks Staffers' Emails, Digital Data · · Score: 3, Insightful

    PGP/GPG is much easier to use these days than it was in the 90's. Plugins exist for many mail clients that do the heavy lifting in the background.

    Friends and family are surely tired of my tinfoil hat, they just do not seem to care about their privacy. Many say the "I have nothing to hide" line.

  8. Re:sounds great... on Scientists Slow the Speed of Light · · Score: 2

    Slower photons in fiber optics means a slower, more relaxed pace for my web browsing.

  9. And they found... on Interior of Burnt Herculaneum Scroll Read For First Time · · Score: 0

    ... the oldest goatse in history.

  10. Re:short on Archive.org Adds Close To 2,400 DOS Games · · Score: 1

    Excellent! It took me straight to The Black Hole game. Thanks!

  11. Re:OpenBSD on Ask Slashdot: Migrating a Router From Linux To *BSD? · · Score: 2

    I should have added: If you are serious about your security, move your samba service inside to another box. Keep this machine as a device to move packets securely.

  12. OpenBSD on Ask Slashdot: Migrating a Router From Linux To *BSD? · · Score: 3, Insightful


    OpenBSD. Feel free to look at the others, just don't get distracted by shiny bells & whistles and GUIs and the like.
    OpenBSD does what you want and does it very well.

  13. Thanks but no thanks. on SystemD Gains New Networking Features · · Score: 1

    I'm sticking with OpenBSD. At least with that OS, features are well thought out and not jammed into every release because "it's teh l337!"

  14. Re:Eh, minor bug on Glitch In OS X Search Can Expose Private Details of Apple Mail Users · · Score: 1

    This is about OSX mail, not iOS mail.

  15. Re:Mathematics on OpenBSD Releases a Portable Version of OpenNTPD · · Score: 1


    I have ten servers for which the 100 millisecond accuracy of OpenNTPD is perfectly fine.

    That's nearly a tenth of a second!

  16. Well... on Over 78% of All PHP Installs Are Insecure · · Score: 0


    I guess the Perl-loving neckbeards at /. were right all along.

  17. Theo de Raadt on Slashdot Asks: The Beanies Return; Who Deserves Recognition for 2014? · · Score: 4, Funny


    Theo de Raadt for no other reason than he is Theo de Raadt.

  18. Re:May want a disclaimer here... on Putting a MacBook Pro In the Oven To Fix It · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is all from memory, but as I recall, the actual problem is in the solder manufacturers are forced to use for ROHS compliance. It is less flexible than the old lead-tin solder of the olden days.

  19. Re:Someone has on Keurig 2.0 Genuine K-Cup Spoofing Vulnerability · · Score: 3

    We have refillable Keurig coffee cups and grind our own beans. Our own setup is virtually trash free other than the empty bags of beans.

  20. Re:Condirmed on Canadian Supreme Court Rules In Favor of Warrantless Cellphone Searches · · Score: 1

    Harper is the finest PM this country has had in years.
    I hope he gets another majority next election, too. Trudeau Jr. would bankrupt the country,

  21. Re:Could be a great update! on FreeNAS 9.3 Released · · Score: 0

    I ran FreeNAS for ages and also moved to NAS4Free. Scanning over the changes I still don't see any compelling reason to switch back.

  22. Any one know? on Dad Makes His Kid Play Through All Video Game History In Chronological Order · · Score: 2


    I'd like to know how the kid fared on E.T. for the Atari 2600.

  23. Re:Don't laugh... on Peter Sunde: the Pirate Bay Should Stay Down · · Score: 1

    PVR hard disk is dying and I refuse to pay a bunch of money to Shaw for another. Easier to torrent/usenet TV shows and not have to suffer through commercials.

  24. Re:Don't laugh... on Peter Sunde: the Pirate Bay Should Stay Down · · Score: 1

    Thanks, forgot about that. Still, auto-torrenting to the server to the Y&R folder is just easier.

    We're in Canada, CBS only works in the US. :(
