  1. Re:Saudi Arabia on Cyberspies Hijacked the Internet Domains of Entire Countries (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    That was supposed to read Armenia to Albania in the north, and UAE to Libya in the south.

  2. Re:Saudi Arabia on Cyberspies Hijacked the Internet Domains of Entire Countries (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    If the span of countries in that area of the globe spans from Armenia to Albania, then the countries that are missing from the list are Saudi Arabia, Israel, Greece, Qatar, and Bahrain.

  3. Re:Interesting approach on EU Aims To Be 'Climate Neutral' By 2050 (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    And why would we want global temperature to remain under 1.5C? That sounds way too cold.

    Does your video card not have HDMI out?

  5. Re:Waiting for Dave's rant on this on A Device That Can Pull Drinking Water From the Air Just Won the Latest XPrize (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    I've never heard of a place with high humidity that needed clean drinking water, like Puerto Rico after it was hit by two hurricanes in a row that completely devastated its ability to provide clean water to its residents. Bonus points for being able to do it without connecting to the nonexistent power grid.

  8. Re:Remove the permission on Ask Slashdot: Are My Drone Apps Phoning Home? · · Score: 1

    A more common app with the Advanced and Modify System Settings option is Amazon Kindle, so if it's not showing up on Kindle, then you know it's not available on your version of Android.

  9. Re:Remove the permission on Ask Slashdot: Are My Drone Apps Phoning Home? · · Score: 1

    Not all apps have the advanced option, only ones that do things that would be modified by it. For example, most of my apps don't have it, but DJI GO (my drone's app) does, but the only option there is "Draw over other apps."

  10. No, if I have 51% of the money in the US that doesn't allow me to automatically elect the president because I'm the majority. Having 51% of the hashing power does not equal being 51% of the users of Bitcoin.

  11. Re:Don't care, not my card, card issuer's problems on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Keep Your Credit Card Secure? · · Score: 1

    Never bank with Bank of America, there is only one bank with worse customer service in the US, unfortunately for you, it's Wells Fargo. Try and find a credit union with really good online banking, that way you don't ever have to go to the actual branch.

    Anyone else remember the cancelled project Astoria to port Android apps to Windows 10? http://www.windowscentral.com/...

    "That doesn’t mean you won’t be able to download a driver from Nvidia.com — it just means that the drivers on the website will be updated periodically, not on a per-release basis. Nvidia has stated that it will push a new driver through its website at least once a quarter, but it hasn’t ironed out the exact timing details yet."

    It was carrying the contraband on the fishing line, it got tangled up in the prison's razor wire.

    I know people are getting them, the point is to pin down how not to.

  19. Re: Oh, they're a big company, on Windows Telemetry Rolls Out · · Score: 2

    I've been running Win 10 since the week it officially launched, and haven't seen any of these ads. I went to the settings you describe, and Get Office isn't an option.

    If you are on Windows 8.1, Windows Defender. If on Windows 7, MS Security Essentials. And supplement both with Malwarebytes. All free, and very non-intrusive.
