  1. Re: Who did you sell to? on Time Warner Cable Warns 320,000 Customers of Possible Compromise (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they mean "other companies that have been breached, to which our customers were also registered". As in someone was registered with, for example, Adobe when they got breached, and they used the same email address and password for their TWC account.

  2. So it's not unlimited, then... on T-Mobile Starts Going After Heavy Users of Tethered Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm starting to get tired of this mentality from service providers that, just because someone is using their services in ways they didn't expect, they're somehow 'abusing' the service. If you advertise the service as unlimited, it should be unlimited. You shouldn't care that I'm using it to torrent or do whatever.

    If you can't provide a truly unlimited service, don't advertise it

  3. Not the only problem on Anonabox Accused of Lying About Its Product Being Open-Source On Kickstarter · · Score: 5, Interesting

    the problem isn't just the fact that the code and hardware isn't open-source, it's the fact that the developers openly lied on their Kickstarter campaign. Not only is the hardware not open-source but it wasn't even designed by them, it's a cheap Chinese knockoff of a tp-link 3G router! On top of that after looking through the firmware they've found that it's not custom software, but a badly configured OpenWRT build with a standard root password (set to "developer!"), an unsecured wifi ssid and sshd installed and running by default! The scale to which these jokers have deceived their backers is ridiculous, and this Kickstarter needs shutting down.

  4. Re: social security? wtf on Kmart Says Its Payment System Was Hacked · · Score: 1

    I'd like to know what has actually been leaked, since everything in that list is generally stuff that would be leaked in a breach of a payment system.

  5. Re:Time to fork Git? on Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment · · Score: 2, Insightful

    GitHub relies on Git, not the other way around. There is nothing stopping you (apart from technical expertise) from starting your own GitHub clone.

  6. Re:It just did! on Australia and NSA Gain Comprehensive Access To Indonesian Phone System · · Score: 0

    I got the same error when trying to sign up, but the second attempt went through. I also keep getting "No data received" errors at random times when browsing, but hopefully it's going to become more stable as time goes on.

  7. Will it scale? on New 25-GPU Monster Devours Strong Passwords In Minutes · · Score: 1

    If he's able to attain numbers like this with four machines, how will it perform as a cluster of eight? Or sixteen?

    That's Phonographic

  9. So it begins on UK ISPs Asked To Block More File-sharing Websites · · Score: 1

    Imagine if you will, a country where any company or group can have any website blocked because they don agree with the content.

    Better start setting up some fast VPNs, guys, because it won't be long before this gets out of hand.

  10. Just when I thought on Injured Bald Eagle Gets New 3-D Printed Beak · · Score: 0

    That 3D printing couldnt get any more awesome, something like this comes out of nowhere an proves that, yes, it can! What implications does this hold for humans?aube we could get 3D printe false teeth with A faster turn-around than current moulding techniques.

  11. Re:Why Jailbreak? on iOS 6 Beta 3 Jailbroken Already · · Score: 1

    Because some people don't want to pay for apps? That's the only reason I can think of. All of those people saying they have done it for 'stability reasons' are talking out of their asses. I moved from an Android phone to an iPhone, and I have never regretted it. You guys may use the "It just works" slogan mockingly, but it's true. I've had my iPhone for three months now, and I haven't needed to reboot it once (after all of the first-time installation stuff). Mean-while, during the two years I had my Android device, I had countless issues with it. Some of the problems, admittedly, were hardware issues, but a large number of them were software issues.

  12. Simulator on New Modeling Algorithms Bring More Detail to Google Earth's 3-D World · · Score: 1

    Now someone needs to make a driving simulator based on this technology. Imagine, being able to play GTA in your own town or city!

  13. Re:I get the feeling... on Timothy Lord Looks at Gas and Electric Smart Cars (Video) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Only in this case, "Smart" is the name of a company who makes cars.

  14. Re:Yeah but still. on Vizio Plans To Undercut The Market For All-In-One PCs · · Score: 1

    How about blowing the dust off that wallet and getting the little lady something newer?

    Typical Apple user, once something is s few years old, replace it. What's the point in replacing something if it still works fine, don't you people realise how wasteful you are?

  15. Re:Does that make any sense? on Oracle Demos New SPARC T4 Processor · · Score: 2

    No, I don't think they won't ever succeed.

    Sooo... You think that they will succeed?

  16. Dumbed down on Microsoft Curbs Wi-Fi Location Database · · Score: 1

    Seriously, why are posters putting up such dumbed down summaries. First the article about networking LEDs, now this crap "Every Wi-Fi device has a unique I'D, somtimes called a MAC address" This is slashdot, I'd hope most of us know what a MAC address is.

  17. Re:iPhone SDK comparison on Microsoft TouchStudio Uses Phone To Program Phone · · Score: 1

    But this will provide a way for end users to write code on their phone without having to void their warranty.

  18. Re:iPhone SDK comparison on Microsoft TouchStudio Uses Phone To Program Phone · · Score: 1

    But that's jailbroken, not stock iPhone, so it doesn't count. Seriously I wish people would stop comparing jailbroke iPhone to stock Android, Windows and other phones, It's a stupid, unfair comparison.

  19. Re:My Kingdom for a Datagrid Element! on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 1

    When's the last time you laid out a site without a table element on every page?

    I don't know about anyone else, but when I design website layout I try to avoid tables unless I really have to, like for displaying data correctly. For all of my design work, I use CSS and div tags, it's much easier to maintain and much more customisable.

  20. Re:Java and not javascript on Mac OS X Users Vulnerable To Major Java Flaw · · Score: 5, Informative

    Though I'm not sure why this whole discussion is under the title "Mac OS X users vulnerable..." when as the submission says the issue affects everybody. Other than to start yet amother boring FUD/flamebait war, of course.

    Maybe it's because everybody else has patched it

    FruitWorm writes in with word of a vulnerability in Java that has been patched by everyone but Apple.
