  3. They'll be back... on LulzSec Announces That It Is Done · · Score: 1

    Though "LulzSec" has disbanded. the members will probably merge back into Anon or start another group.
    So expect a release on Monday as planned. It will just have a different name attached...

    They think if they change their name it makes it harder for "the Suits" to catch up with them.

    They may be right..........

    BASIC Gorilla tactics 101:
    10 Come together in a small group
    20 Make a few big Bolshie attacks

    Hah! love to see you hack/crack my XP install...

  8. Re:he says he kept the SIM card in his mouth? on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 3, Informative

    Think the reporter meant that:
    The person who recorded it does not want to post it till he gets compensation
    but morally the reporter feels the person should release it NOW for everyone to see...

  11. In all of the posts here... on Doctors Are Creating Too Many Patients · · Score: 1

    ...Where was the Nurse's / Nurse practitioners?
    They are usually the first line in dealing with patients.

    They should be trained up enough to weed out the time wasters (those with the 24h bug, small burn, a simple strain/sprain or something that is best left alone to fix itself, like a cracked rib)

    The nurse usually has the ability to diagnose minor ailments and if unsure or they think it's something more major they can then get the Doctor in.
    either way if any prescriptions are required then a Doc is always called in to consult and make the final diagnosis.

    The patient is happy since they have been seen by 2 medical professionals, The doc is happy since he has more time with those that are really ill.

    Though the nurse's taking my blood pressure last time thought i was headed for a heart attack due to the high pressure, p.s. the nurse was HOT!!! ^_~
    Explaining the reason for my high pressure was a great way to get a date...

    Used it for over a year.
    Never had a problem with them.

  13. Re:How does it differ? No difference to discern. on Steve Jobs: 'We Don't Track Anyone' · · Score: 1

    You will need root access to the device to read this directory." Which means you can't do that with an app.

    Unless your Android device is rooted, which is common. Which means you can. Oops! Your bad.

    But even with a rooted Android device, the app still needs the user to give it "Superuser" permissions.
    So any old app won't have root access unless you specifically give it.

    If any app asks for superuser permissions a bloody well make sure I check it out first!!

  18. In a word... on Ask Slashdot: Do I Give IT a Login On Our Dept. Server? · · Score: 1

    "YES" give them limited access. (you can always remove the account after they have done the scan)

    Otherwise you're opening yourself to a multimillion $ law suit if there is ANY breach of the system due to your server being on the network.

    If you let them check it over then subsequently there's a breach, then it's the hospitals problem.

  22. Good first Episode. on New Film 'Zenith' Now Available For Free BitTorrent Download · · Score: 1

    But has the same flaw as most of the shows like this, it's a bit slow, But at least they didn't fall back on badly done effect shots.
    Acting is good from the main cast. The others is a bit off (can't put my finger on it).

    Will watch the next episode (if they ever make it...)
