  1. Re:Report + Judgment on Anonymous Goes After Miami Police Officer Who Doxed An Innocent Woman (softpedia.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Cops can straight up murder someone and receive no punishment. I'm sure this guy will get the book thrown at him for misusing department computers.

  2. I should have added, on Chrome.

  3. Re:What's the breakdown on IBM Added 70,000 People To Its Ranks In 2015, And Lost That Many, Too (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    That or 70,000 were making too much money so IBM decided to replace them with fresh college graduates making 1/3 the previous salary.

  4. I use uBlock and Disconnect and a handful of other extensions. I never have issues with ads or javascript.

  5. Re:We've heard this before... on Next-Gen Ultra HD Blu-Ray Discs Probably Won't Be Cracked For A While (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    That was with 40 bit encryption. The MPAA learned this lesson and BD+ is way more complicated.

  6. Re:The university could also do it just because on Carnegie Mellon University Attacked Tor, Was Subpoenaed By Feds (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    There is no "breaking into" TOR. They ran enough fake exit nodes to deduce the path of traffic. But I do suppose that really putting TOR to the test is a good thing.

  7. Money talks and bullshit walks. You don't get anything by writing letters.

  8. Re:WhipslashPleaseGetRidOfSubjectsInComments on Linux Mint Hack Is an Indicator of a Larger Problem (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    I like the subjects in comments, douche nozzle.

  9. robots.txt on Baidu Browser Acts Like a Mildly Tempered Infostealer Virus · · Score: 1

    This whole idea of robots.txt is dumb. Its based on the honor system. Imagine if the rest of internet security worked like that. Plenty of awesome sites have gone away and not been archived because of robots.txt.

  10. Re:Crome on Baidu Browser Acts Like a Mildly Tempered Infostealer Virus · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I keep hearing this. Where are the packet dumps showing what info is collected?

  11. ffserver on Multimedia Powerhouse FFmpeg Hits 3.0 · · Score: 1

    Did they add any kind of authentication to ffserver yet? That's what I'm waiting for.

  12. I'm glad those drivers licenses stop cars from running into people.

  13. Ever wonder why your current computer seems to run as fast as one from a decade ago? Shouldn't everything load much faster and be more responsive?

  14. Don't even waste your time on TP-Link Begins Lockdown of Firmware In Response To FCC · · Score: 1

    I tried OpenWRT on a cheap TP-LINK router and it barely managed 1/3 of the throughput of the stock firmware.

  15. The world is more like the movie Brazil. Trying to be like 1984 but failing due to incompetence.

  16. Nobody cares on Sci-Hub, a Site With Open and Pirated Scientific Papers · · Score: 0

    Who really reads any of these papers? They are dry as hell and of no use to anyone unless you need to cite sources for your own paper. Yeah it's nice they are out there but come on these site probably get more google spider hits than real users.

  17. Re:Too late on SourceForge Eliminates DevShare Program (sourceforge.net) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This site really is a magnet for autistic neck beards. They scare women away with their creepyness and then blame it on social justice. Yeah some people on the other end are a bit "off" but you guys start up with death and rape threats further proving their point.

  18. Who fucking cares? on Twitter Launches Trust and Safety Council To Help Put End To Trolling (thestack.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Twitter is a free service. Don't use it if you don't like their policies.

  19. Re:More nation-wrecking idiocy on Are Roads Safer With No Central White Lines? · · Score: 2

    How was this conclusion drawn? Were there studies and provable data to back this up? Otherwise its just bored idiots in positions of power.

  20. Re:More nation-wrecking idiocy on Are Roads Safer With No Central White Lines? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've been trying to institute that law for a while now. Anytime someone mentions SJW they either sound like a blathering lunatic or the replies come from blathering lunatics. The real gamers are too busy playing games to argue Social Justice.

  21. How are you going to verify the silicon? Does the NIC send a few random packets to an ip address? You'd never know without auditing every packet sent.

  22. What the fuck on Why Facebook Really Shut Down Parse (medium.com) · · Score: 0

    Is the aaS business?

  23. The fact that they even put thought into this proves their point.

  24. Original power supply on Ask Slashdot: Surge Protection For International Travel? · · Score: 0

    What the hell are you talking about? Buy several dollar store USB chargers. If one burns up throw it away and use one of the spares. Maybe you want to lug around a Tripp Lite power conditioner with you?

  25. Re:Monero on Ask Slashdot: Time To Get Into Crypto-currency? If So, Which? · · Score: 1

    I wish I would have bought up bitcoins when they were worth pennies.
