  1. Plausible. on Our Early Solar System May Have Been Home To a Fifth Giant Planet · · Score: 1

    But as plausible as the rogue planet theory as well. there is zero and I mean ZERO evidence. not even any mildly compelling observations. It's 100% wild speculation.

  2. More Bullshit "hacking" on Hackers Remotely Cut a Corvette's Brakes · · Score: 3, Informative

    Can we stop with these fake "researchers" that make claims that are stupid as hell?

    They did not hack anything, they compromised the car by having physical access and sent service code activation commands.

    Basically if there is a smelly guy wearing a trenchcoat under your dash, you might be hacked.

  3. Re:yes, stop sending reports on Oracle Exec: Stop Sending Vulnerability Reports · · Score: 1

    Actually for everything, post it in multiple locations anonymously.

    Only fools try and get credit for it, because the lawyers and feds love to punish good deeds.

  4. Re:Piss off on Oracle Exec: Stop Sending Vulnerability Reports · · Score: 4, Insightful

    She should, and Oracle should stop hiring incompetent rich idiots for executive positions where they should actually know something about Security and Programming.

    This is the biggest problem, The trend over the past 15 years, Executives in many american corporations are drooling morons when it comes to knowing anything about what they are supposed to be in charge of.

    CSO should have a frigging clue.

  5. East to block most malware on Firefox 40 Arrives With Windows 10 Support, Expanded Malware Protection · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't allow any downloading from any link that is flagged as an "AD" on google.

    99% of the time I have to clean someone's computer it's because, "I searched for XXX and installed it from the first link from a google search."

    Google sponsored links from a search needs to have dark red borders around them with "WARNING DO NOT CLICK ON THIS"

  6. Re:Radical idea... on Finnish Politician Suggests Embedding Chips In Citizens To Protect the Welfare State · · Score: 1

    Prison? Public execution on prime time TV.

  7. I prefer Tagging and tracking politicians. on Finnish Politician Suggests Embedding Chips In Citizens To Protect the Welfare State · · Score: 1

    Politicians need to be tagged and monitored. Bonus points if you can build remote shock capability into the tags.

  8. Re:Not really a story. on Manipulating Microsoft WSUS To Attack Enterprises · · Score: 2

    Dont need to be ON your network, I just need to be somewhere between you and Microsoft. That gives me a LOT of locations to choose from. Hell some ISP's and backbone operators simply have small sheds out in rural areas that are easily broken into without setting off alarms. Or if you did set off the alarms you have plenty of time to install a small device to do your MITM for you and leave making it look like some kids got bored tipping cows.

  9. Sugar and carbohydrate content. on Coca-Cola To Fund Research That Shifts Blame For Obesity Away From Bad Diets · · Score: 1

    No way around it. IF you ask people that have a clue, AKA Doctors, they all will tell you that eating more than 15-30 grams of carbohydrates per meal is bad for you and will cause your body to convert sugars to fat.

    so yes, if you are drinking 3-6 cans of soda pop daily, you are making yourself fat. So stop with the Pancakes covered in syrup, the Bagel and Coke. and eat frigging meat and veggies.

    and no Potatoes are not veggies, those are carbohydrate bombs.

  10. I add adblockers to everyone's PC I touch. on Study: Ad Blocker Use Jumps 41 Percent · · Score: 1

    At work we block ad's company wide. Allowing online Adverts is a giant security flaw.

  11. Re:Every customer of mine on Many Australians Forced To Pay For "Unbreakable" Cryptolocker Ransomware · · Score: 1

    Which blows my mind that windows allows to begin with.

  12. Re:Silly bogans... on Many Australians Forced To Pay For "Unbreakable" Cryptolocker Ransomware · · Score: 1

    Sounds exactly like the United States.

  13. Re:Solution on Anti-Piracy Firm Sends Out Wave of Takedown Notices For Using the Word 'Pixels' · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I prefer corporate death penalty. The company is instantly dissolved Loses it's corporation status and opens up all Board and executive members to be 100% liable and suable.

    Government agents then dismantle the company and sell it off for it's assets within 30 days of the ruling.

    That right there will overnight make all corporations stop acting like assholes.

  14. Re:Now that's just evil on Windows 10's Privacy Policy: the New Normal? · · Score: 2

    Maybe for you at home. At work the IT department made several new firewall policies that completely neuters all of windows 10 information gathering and sharing.

    I am all for it as it s finally forcing people and companies to pay attention to security and that information leaks can be built into your OS.

  15. Re:My weapon of choice would be on How To Shoot Down a Drone · · Score: 1

    Then your RC boat is not going fast enough.

  16. Re:Garden hose on How To Shoot Down a Drone · · Score: -1, Troll

    You must live in a civilized country.

    here in the USA the cop will bust down the door and taze you 5-10 times while screaming at you at the top of his lungs.

    They also do that if you accidently park with a tire touching the terrace grass.

  17. Re:a paint gun 'does nothing' but on How To Shoot Down a Drone · · Score: 1

    They are quite effective on security cameras. so yes they will work on a RC quad copter camera.

  18. Light Bulb? on Underwater Chemical Garden Powers a Light Bulb · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    It powers a single LED very dimly.

    I really suggest the summary needs to be corrected as it's WAY WAY off an horribly misleading.

  19. Re:I'll believe it when I see it. on One Night In the Hotel Room of the Future · · Score: 1

    You are lucky to get a mid-level owner to clean the carpets. Hotels are pretty scummy.

  20. The Future? on One Night In the Hotel Room of the Future · · Score: 1

    Everything in that hotel room is horribly out of date. Holy cow my company was installing that stuff 5 years ago.

    Remember kids, the "future" is already obsolete by the time journalists find it.

  21. Re:Gen1 was unencrypted on At Black Hat: Square Reader To Credit Card Skimmer In 10 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Gen 2 and 3 were still cracked. you still did the same trick you plug it in and use a audio record app. send that audio to your guy that pays you $10.00 for each audio file and use PC software to decrypt.

    Even the Paypal one was cracked a long time ago.

  22. Re:Another indication of the failed war on drugs on Drone Drops Drugs Onto Ohio Prison Yard · · Score: 1

    Yes if they act like thugs? yep. if they talk to you and say, you are drunk, I am not letting you drive, but I will call you a cab.

    THAT is being a public servant and not scumbag street thug the typical cop loves to be.

  23. Black Hat for Noobs now? on At Black Hat: Square Reader To Credit Card Skimmer In 10 Minutes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The square reader to skimmer trick has been around for YEARS. Cripes all you had to do was record the audio and send the audio files to your skimmer.

    Pretty sad that Black Hat has turned into a n00b conference. Was there also a talk on how you can use keyloggers?

  24. Re:What did you expect? on Parts of SOPA Hiding Inside a Boring Case About Invisible Braces · · Score: 1

    Yep, they forgot to set a date on the calendar to kill the rich all over again once they got snooty.

  25. Re:Another indication of the failed war on drugs on Drone Drops Drugs Onto Ohio Prison Yard · · Score: 2

    Or how about cops get off their asses and do their jobs and hang around the parking lot. Spot drunkard dave walking to his car, stop him.

    Take away their cars and guns and force them to be civil servants they took an oath to be. So few cops get killed in the line of duty each year there is NO reason for them to be armed at all times.
