  1. Re:Which Encryption Scheme is Safest? Can we tell? on Yahoo Encrypting Data In Wake of NSA Revelations · · Score: 1

    No. They'd only need to control DNS for completely bogus keys.

    Now. How'd they pull that off?

    Beside which, getting real private keys hasn't been hard for them, it seems. Got PEM?

  2. Re:Which Encryption Scheme is Safest? Can we tell? on Yahoo Encrypting Data In Wake of NSA Revelations · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah. SSL/TLS. That's just as effective against a determined state actor, with access to the telecommunication infrastructure, as a Kleenex Condom.

  3. Sony RELEASED PlayStation! on PlayStation 4 Released · · Score: 1

    Even after swearing that this time, IT WOULD KILL AGAIN!

  4. Re:Where's the torrent file? on Britain's Conservatives Scrub Speeches from the Internet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I dunno, but I'm guessing none of these politicians have ever heard of the Streisand Effect.

    I dunno, but I'm guessing none of these politicians have ever heard of 1984.

  5. Re:clemency? on Feinstein and Rogers: No Clemency For Snowden · · Score: 2

    Feinstein is real "Game of Thrones" material. She'll have Snowden's head, impaled at the gates...

  6. Re:How hard can that possibly be? on A Math Test That's Rotten To the Common Core · · Score: 1

    MONEY can't buy you excellence, in a corrupted society.

  7. Re:Do they need to go metric on this ? on Google's Barge Is a Marketing Showroom · · Score: 2

    Standard size of shipping containers are 20ft and 40ft, yes, imperial feet, not meters.

    Is there a need to stick to metric system no matter what ?

    How many cubits is that?

    Mycenaean? Or Old Kingdom?

  8. Re:Nanny state crap on Google Chrome Is Getting Automatic Blocking of Malicious Downloads · · Score: 1

    Spirit of GPL, letter of GPL. Through the eye of that needle, Google has made a fortune, while contributing a pittance.

    It is a form of license exploitation, bordering on theft.

  9. Re:Nanny state crap on Google Chrome Is Getting Automatic Blocking of Malicious Downloads · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well. There goes your downloads of TOR and Transmission... What's blocked next?

    Maybe XBMC. Those plugins are GATT and SOPA problems just waiting to happen.

    If people want to cut the cable? Just wait for Google to "steal" the XBMC source for GoogTV, like they raped Linux for Android.

    The moral of this speculative fable? Google should be making software, not policy decisions.

  10. SNOWDEN IS NEW BOFH! on Edward Snowden's New Job: Tech Support · · Score: 1

    Call the Register!

  11. BREAKING THE LAW IS NOT AMORAL on Edward Snowden's New Job: Tech Support · · Score: 1

    save the arguments about moral superiority. it's not really a meaningful argument to claim that something didn't live up to whatever expectations you put on them based on faulty perceptions.

    Ask George Washington, Mohandas Gandhi and Oskar Schindler.

  12. Re:Hum on Slashdot Asks: What Are You Doing For Hallowe'en? · · Score: 0

    I have some of Hitler's DNA. We were gonna try and have a go at replacing the chromosomes in a donor zygote, but we may just get drunk and watch The Boys From Brazil, instead.

  13. Re:Only one more step left... on Dell Is Now a Private Company Again · · Score: 0

    F*ck Dell, and their crap boxes. Now they are private? Then we know exactly who to blame for shoddy packaging and miserable IO performance.

  14. SNAKE! on Did Snakes Help Build the Primate Brain? · · Score: 1

    Apple. Garden.

    'Nuff Said.

  15. Re:So what should the family do? on How an Astronaut Falling Into a Black Hole Would Die Part 2 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He'd die of old age.

    The nearest black hole is 1600 light-years away. If our astronaught started to journey thence, at the beginning of the Bronze age, it would be conceivable that he'd arrive there sometime in the next couple hundred years - using the fastest of feasibly extrapolated propulsion technologies. This of course, supposing those could have existed after the retreat f European ice-sheets.

    Any other planned method to acquire more rapid proximity to a black hole, probably wouldn't work out, either...

    Obama had one reply to Merkel, like Superman to Lois Lane:

  24. Re:45 years ago... on 5-Year Mission Continues After 45-Year Hiatus · · Score: 1

    This "un-boot" has everything of the original - except for the charm of the premise, the ethic of storytelling, and the charisma of the players.
