  1. Re:exactly on Credit Card Chips Have Failed to Halt Fraud (So Far) (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    The economics of it is certainly the crux of it, but you are just supporting what the credit card companies want.

    The amount of fraud in dollars is less than the vig the credit card companies are taking. The credit companies are getting several percent of every transaction made with one of their credit cards. Full stop. This is the credit card companies problem and they would love to have their cake and eat it too. Dont help them. Please stop.

    The true purpose is to increase the number of "cyber attacks" that they can attribute to russians.

    Doesnt sound like fraud to me. The user has not given you a promise to do anything in particular with your advertisement, therefore they are not misleading you when they click but dont visit.

  4. Might I suggest Diablo Immortal. This one is sure to totally not be monetized at all with micro-payments of any kind. Honest.

    The tribe saw that a self-rewarding dialog option was taken, and they want the self-reward too. Some use their mod points to give themselves a little bump.. high on the chemicals that they can induce their brain to generate.

  6. We didn't lose your $130 you see. It was your identity that was stolen.

  9. Re:so the datas not really encrypted on Flaws in Self-Encrypting SSDs Let Attackers Bypass Disk Encryption (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Many people don't even use disk encryption and just assume their computer isn't going to be stolen.

    ...or we dont see the point in encrypting video games and dvd rips, regardless of computer theft rates.

  10. Is this the same Gallup that predicted Hillary would win by a landslide?

  11. Exactly. I live in New England and know NOBODY as described, not at work, not at home, not in the family, not in the neighborhood.

    I only witnessed the media saying it. Yes, the fake media.

  13. Re:ATI tie-in runs deep on AMD Launches Lower Cost 12- and 24-Core 2nd Gen Ryzen Threadripper Chips (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    The GPU integration has me scratching my head. AMD's integrated slaughters Intels in any fair (equal $) comparison. I dont see how the deal with Intel benefits AMD.

  15. A self driving car should protect its passengers first or they wouldn't sell.

    Eventually a self-driving car programmed this way will kill several children. At that point this methodology cannot survive legislation.

    Even better, dont fuck with bind, and simply invent a decent side language for producing bind configurations. This is how unix is supposed to stack up.

  19. Re:Really, is anyone surprised? on New SystemD Vulnerability Discovered (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    This guy doesn't merely write crap code, he has a track record of not playing well with others, refusing to acknowledge bugs, expecting other software projects to work around and make up for his mistakes, and so on, and so forth.

    Exaggerations aside, the key point is that even the best programmers with the best intent cannot reinvent the wheel without consequences. The motivation for reinventing the wheel is that the current code is ugly and hard to maintain. So off they go writing the replacement temple. What happens is that all the stuff that they thought was ugly was a bugfix or in another way necessary. Their temple grows ugly. The bugs were reinvented too.
