  1. Re:Truce on Push Email Suspended On iPhones In Germany · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The weirdest thing about this is, that there are no software patents in Germany.

    I guess that said software patents might qualify as "regular" patents since there are phones involved.

  2. Re:This should be an APP on Transparency Grenade Collects and Leaks Sensitive Data · · Score: 1

    Next time you "see a police beating" throw a bloody hand grenade at them. Great idea. At least you last seconds will be broadcast (hopefully). Sure going to be a bummer on YouTube.

  3. Cool looking but brain-damaged design on Transparency Grenade Collects and Leaks Sensitive Data · · Score: 1

    Sure looks cool. But the "grenade" design might cause you a lot more trouble (including getting shot) than the transparency thingy itself. Think about "panic", "terror", "obviously armed with...". So it's by definition an example for bad design. Even the worst possible design, to be more specific..

  4. Your post frightened me so much, I had to replace all doorlocks, need to change my phone number, my name and will have to spend the rest of my life in a lead-shielded radiation bunker with no internet. Where can I send the bill?

  5. So culture is on Outgoing CRTC Head Says Technology Is Eroding Canadian Culture · · Score: 1

    So culture is all about controlling access? Hmmm... There's some nasty truth in it. Basically that's what Nietzsche said...

  6. The question is on Microsoft Announces ReFS, a New Filesystem For Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    will filesystem specs again be handled as a "trade secret"? If so it is another basically unusable filesystem that I am forced to use on at least one critical machine. At least there is native NFS client support in Windows now. It really helps preventing the worst as the built-in backup option still sucks.

  7. Nothing to fear on DHS Monitors Social Media For 'Political Dissent' · · Score: 1

    unless you're a fscking thought criminal.

  8. Re:I'm honestly confused... on LG To Pay Licensing Fees To Microsoft For Using Android · · Score: 1

    Yes - and it is this kind of simply unacceptable things becoming "common business practice" that make me feel the whole system is rotten to the point from where the decay proceeds exponentially. Such practices -and many others esp. in the financial sector- were considered clearly criminal 20 years ago - almost everywhere in the world. Not for moral reasons, but because the would destroy the system itself. Now, look where we are going...

  9. Re:Right to submit future domains, but on Dutch Court Forces ISPs To Block the Pirate Bay · · Score: 2

    Except that it's only limited to one site

    until BREIN decides that they want another one banned.

  10. Re:Not only domains on Finnish ISP Forced To Block the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. Blocking EFF is likely to backfire. And don't forget that EFF was one of the initiators of the TOR project...

  11. Re:Not only domains on Finnish ISP Forced To Block the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    It does. And it is -besides pseudo-anonymization- exactly what TOR is made for. I guess TOR will gain a lot of popularity in certain parts of northern Europe soon.

  12. Impossible! on TSA Interested In Purchasing Dosimeters · · Score: 1

    There's absolutely no evidence of any relation between exposing people to radiation for silly reasons and cancer! Oh, wait...

  13. Re:Linux vendor? on Shareholder Fight Threatens Mandriva SA · · Score: 1

    And Linux itself does not provide *any* UI. Polished and intuitive or not. So you, Sir, are obviously talking about something that does not even exist. Catch 22, indeed.

  14. Re:Apple is filing this? on Apple Threatens Steve Jobs Doll Maker With Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    It definitely is. I want one!

  15. Re:That is like suing Ford on Spanish Court Rules In Favor of P2P Engineer · · Score: 2

    Transmission.

  16. Re:Internet at home on A Quarter of the EU Has Never Used the Web · · Score: 2

    I don't get it. Why is everybody so pissed off of him? If he doesn't like the world outside, he doesn't like it. Valid attitude. Not mine, but also not my problem. What do you want anyway? Force anyone to like you - by offending them? Great idea. .

  17. Try to write down everything on 24-Year-Old Asks Facebook For His Data, Gets 1,200 PDFs · · Score: 1
    • Try to write down everything you know about yourself.
    • How many pages did you fill
    • less then 1200?
    • repeat

    Now ask yourself one question: might 1.2k pages not be a little bit excessive after all?

  18. Re:And money changes hands... on Adblock Plus To Offer 'Acceptable Ads' Option · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes. One might wonder what he's doing for a living...

  19. Re:Fraudsters? on The Ups and Downs of Being a Twitter Fraudster · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
    Church Of SubGenius

  20. GNOME 3: Man of the year... on GNOME 3 Wins Linux Journal's Readers' Choice Award · · Score: 1

    ...1938. These good, old "XY-Of The Year"-stories just never get boring.

  21. According to Google it won't on Will Firefox Lose Google Funding? · · Score: 2

    Heise (German only) just reported that Google officially denied the rumors they were about to drop Firefox.

  22. Re:Old news on Researchers Say Carrier IQ Isn't Logging Data, Texts · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Fact is: They sold you a phone with a rootkit installed that could record and transmit anything without your notice or your consent. That's still fucking bad enough for me. Claiming that "it wasn't activated by default" doesn't change a bit of it.

  23. Re:Good thing nobody hates the French on Greenpeace Breaks Into French Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    I don't give up hope that there are people out there who know about the origin of sabotage from reading (p.e. Gibson/Sterling's The Difference Engine) instead of Star Trek marathons.

  24. Re:"Security" on Discouraging Playstation Vita Details · · Score: 1

    The difference with Gillette is that they sold you a product that did exactly what you wanted it to.

    Yes. They did. Somewhen in the 1980s. But maybe I just had less beard, then...

  25. Re:Twitter instead of RSS feed on Tracking Censorship Through Copyright Proposals Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Yes. But that means that another entity is between them and the public. And there already were demands for social networks to censor user generated content even from the "free" world. Any third party that might tamper with your content -and collect your subscribers' data- should be avoided.
