  1. I find it fascinating when a corporation "encourages" its employees to a certain political action and helpfully provide them a script.

    And of course they probably track everyone using the "script" and will penalize those that choose not to.

  2. Better hope the AIs never hunt people for sport in order by Slashdot ID.

    Well, hopefully they will start in reverse order. :P

  3. Lol. Nice.

  4. The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps on Slashdot Asks: What Books Are You Reading This Month? · · Score: 1

    The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win by by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, and George Spafford.

  5. Re: never heard of it on RIP Kuro5hin (kuro5hin.org) · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember it basically died and nobody cared for it anymore around 2002-2004 or thereabouts.

    That's around when I stopped paying attention. Just too many other options and not enough time.

  6. Re:Surely not the ones for sale below? on 90% of All SSL VPNs Use Insecure Or Outdated Encryption · · Score: 1

    because I don't have the money to pay for a nice VPN

    Not sure how much money you have but I highly recommend CryptoStorm. Very inexpensive, plenty of payment options, and they even have a free, limited to 128kbps, option you can use if you can't afford the higher. Read about their unique token-based authentication that separates the user account/payment information from the company.

  7. Re:Lying scum on Judge Orders State Dept, FBI To Expand Clinton Email Server Probe · · Score: 1

    According to an earlier story, the server was apparently set up for Bill during his presidency. That begs the question, what did Bill have on there before?
    Although that was a very early story and could have just been a false story attempting to cover up the truth.

  8. Favarite advancement on Ask "The Fat Man" George Sanger About Music and Computer Games · · Score: 1

    Mr. Sanger,
    If you could point out just one favorite advancement in gaming audio, be it hardware, software, or something else in your experience what would that be?
    Thank you.

    Well, I do not know about "Ginger" but Mary Ann sure revolutionized my life!

  10. Re:What's the big deal? on Creationism In Texas Public Schools · · Score: 1

    Since charter schools aren't required by the government, your arguments are, and have been, illogical.

    But we are required to pay taxes to said government that ends up funding the religious dogma in those charter schools. It is irrelevant that we have the option to have our children attend the charter schools, paying for them is not.
    Therefore, illegal.

  11. Re:Maybe Snowden Stole a Honeypot on RSA Flatly Denies That It Weakened Crypto For NSA Money · · Score: 1

    in fact, it is so irresponsible to give one person access to so much secret information that either the NSA is completely incompetent or it would have a reason to permit one contractor access to so many documents.

    Have you even read anything about how Edward Snowden came to be in possession of said documents? Nothing was GIVEN to him. He used other peoples accounts that DID have access to said documents via social engineering and other means.

    Well, I will be amongst friends.

  13. Re:Shocked on Germany: We Think NSA May Have Tapped Chancellor Merkel's Cell Phone · · Score: 3, Funny

    Really? Would you say its safe to assume Germany is tapping the white house?

    This has been done for hundreds if not thousands of years. Even Bill Clinton was accused of secretly tapping at least one of his interns.
    --- Nothing to see here, move along.

  14. Re:Pirate bay on Tor Usage More Than Doubles In August · · Score: 1

    Yep. I know of numerous people that downloaded it and started using it the day it was released. Not that I'm absolutely convinced it doesn't have any NSA claw marks in it though.

  16. Usable on a motorcycle? on Programming a Wearable Android Device · · Score: 1

    I'm a bike rider (Motor, not foot powered) and I can think of many uses this would be handy for when on a cruise around the country side. The standard email/speed/weather apps would be handy. But how about adding a rear, wide-angle camera view that I could glimpse at without turning my head around. That would be pretty useful.

  17. Re:Cryptocloud VPN services on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Trustworthy VPN Service? · · Score: 1

    Forgot to mention in my post above:

    Crossplatform: Compatible with Windows (XP, Vista, 7), Linux and Mac OS X
    Mobile: Compatible with iPhone, iPod, iPad and Android in both 3G and WiFi modes!

  18. Cryptocloud VPN services on Ask Slashdot: Finding a Trustworthy VPN Service? · · Score: 1

    I've used Cryptocloud for many years with very good success. Not the cheapest option out there. But they have many options for connecting, numerous countries in which to connect to, and many different payment options. They take security/privacy seriously if that is a concern. They do no bandwidth throttling and no logs are kept on the VPN appliances. Well worth checking out.

  19. Re:Profit & Lies on YouTube Identifies Birdsong As Copyrighted Music · · Score: 1

    I want to thank you for that answer.

    That has to be one of the best responses I have read here on /. in many years. (And I've been here for a quite a few).

    Pointed and non-inflammatory IMHO.

  24. Re:Two eyes are better than one on Combining Two Kinects To Make Better 3D Video · · Score: 1

    This could be solved by replacing the IR source in the 'projector' (actually a point source and a pinhole grid) with one of a different wavelength, and adding appropriate filters to the IR cameras in each Kinect.

    Or maybe timing the grid light to be off while the other camera is on and vis-versa. Alternating back and forth quickly like the 3D LCD 'shutter' lenses. This way the grids would not interfere with each other. Don't have to turn off the cameras, just don't use the 3D grid data from those frames where the opposite grid is being used.

    Just my .01 worth. :)

  25. Re:Think of the constitution. on US Supreme Court Upholds Indefinite Confinement · · Score: 1

    Consider, do you need to be convicted by a jury of your peers to be confined to quarantine if you have a dangerous infectious disease? Is quarantine of those with infectious diseases punishment?

    What if that person has been diagnosed with something like HIV? Should they be quarantined against their will since they poses a risk to public safety?

    It's a slippery slope with shoddy breaks.
