  1. Re:This just in... on Hundreds of New TLDs Coming — Question Is When · · Score: 1

    ICANN has more domains?

  2. Re:Personally I believe it depends upon if you're. on Should You Be Paid For Being On Call? · · Score: 1

    Yes, but a C level executive gets a whole other level of benefits.

    I also kinda question the feasibility of a "a CTO" with the nick Assmasher, but that's another kettle of fish...

  3. Re:Checks on Deposit Checks By iPhone · · Score: 1

    Incorrect. United Services Automobile Association; you pooched the second word.

  4. Re:External and Online on Best Home Backup Strategy Now? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, because work is going to complain about the hard drive in my desk drawer.

    I also keep a pair of shoes there as well; my manager's never complained about that either.

    Unless you work for a fast-food type company, I'd imagine most places are cool about this.

  5. Re:freelegoporn.com is not cybersquatting on Domain-Name Wars, Rise of the Cybersquatters · · Score: 1

    Most definitely correct. This issue may become more and more relevant as soon as ICANN-has-more-domains.

  6. Re:No big loss! on The Imminent Demise of SORBS · · Score: 1

    There have been multiple occurrences of Barracuda blocking mail from legitimate senders, then offering their whitelist service to those senders to "ensure uninterrupted delivery."

    It's a nice little extortion racket...

  7. Re:Sounds like a TRAP on The Imminent Demise of SORBS · · Score: -1, Troll

    Stay classy, Slashdot.

  8. Re:No big loss! on The Imminent Demise of SORBS · · Score: 1

    Actually, Barracuda's "whitelist" is far worse in this regard.

  9. Re:Parts: The Clonus Horror on Apple's Obsession With Secrecy Grows Stronger · · Score: 1

    Disagree. "Medical Problems" more than cover it. If the shareholders disagree, they're welcome to attempt to replace him...

  10. Re:Parts: The Clonus Horror on Apple's Obsession With Secrecy Grows Stronger · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I (sorta) see where you're coming from; the problem is one of "just because he's a CEO doesn't mean he's not entitled to privacy about medical matters." It was announced that he was having "medical problems;" past that I don't really see as it's the world's business. If it was, we'd not have things such as HIPAA in place.

  11. Fascinating... on Bozeman, MT Drops Password Info Requirement · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Interesting that they declare the passwords they've already received to be the "property of the city."

    Bodes not well, that's for sure-- and it shows that the city still doesn't "get it." They likely just know that a lot of people got very upset, and figured they'd back away from something they just don't grasp...

  12. Re:Lies, damn lies. on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    That's likely to really hurt when you wind up with a missing file / data corruption that went undetected for three weeks...

  13. Re:the sad thing is on News Corp Will Charge For Newspaper Websites · · Score: 1

    Even if porn *is* involved, www.nakednews.com thought of it first...

  14. Figureheads on Pirate Bay Court Loss Won't Stop the Flow of Files · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All the Pirate Bay is really, is a symbol; I'm not convinced this spectrial was ever about combating P2P, but more about a clash of ideologies.

  15. Re:Sigh on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    Speaking as someone whose biggest problem with Apple is their userbase, I have a hard time granting that this is necessarily a chink in the armor.

    If we're accepting that this is a "virus," then so is

    #!/bin/bash
    echo 'Optimizing! Please wait...'
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024
    echo "All done!"

    if I can convince you to run it with sudo. In other words, "You should be smarter than that."

  16. Re:Apparently the final benchmark is still underwa on Parallels Desktop For Mac Vs. VMware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Gee, who would have thought that spreading your article across TEN BLOODY PAGES would increase the load on your servers? Idiots and their ad impressions...

  17. Re:They're setting themselves up for a lawsuit on How To Handle Corporate Blackmail? · · Score: 1

    Excuse me? If I call up an pretend to be an HR droid, the former company will give me your Social Security Number?

    What planet are you living on?

  18. About time... on Google and Friends Release Net Neutrality Measuring Tools · · Score: 1

    ...it's nice to finally have an automated way of testing this, particularly a method that shows aggregate statistics.

  19. Re:Just give up? on Why Mirroring Is Not a Backup Solution · · Score: 1

    Your sig is hilariously appropriate for this article...

  20. Re:Dear Every Corporate Tool in the Universe: on Why Mirroring Is Not a Backup Solution · · Score: 1

    They do. :-)

    Take a look at a packet capture for www.google.com sometime...

  21. Re:Constitutionality on Sex Offenders Must Hand Over Online Passwords · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sure, for values of "rape" that include a 19 year old porking his 17 year old girlfriend...

  22. Re:News? on Plethora of New User Space Filesystems For Mac OS X · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not that I would ever be interested in having sex with a computer anyway...

    Well, SOMEBODY'S in the minority on Slashdot...

  23. At least this time... on Online Billpay Provider Loses Control of Domains · · Score: 1

    ...someone (apparently) didn't manage to socially engineer Network Solutions. That's happened at least a few times that I can recall...

  24. Re:man in the middle on Zimbra Desktop Vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle Attack · · Score: 1

    There's always DNS cache poisoning...

  25. Re:Phorm reads your Email? on Zimbra Desktop Vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle Attack · · Score: 3, Informative

    The first post is redundant? Odd.

    Anyhoo, no-- Phorm couldn't read it unless they're attempting to MITM SSL by default-- which would get the living crap sued out of them by just about everbody...
