  1. When are they releasing the Windows 2000 patch? on NSA Exploits Ported To Work on All Windows Versions Released Since Windows 2000 (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    This could turn into a big issue unless Microsoft releases a patch for all those older versions.

  2. Re:GoFund Me Turtle One on Flat Earther Fails To Launch His Homemade Rocket -- Yet Again (facebook.com) · · Score: 1

    Would you need a space suit? The turtle has to be breathing something.

  3. Have your camera connected to your smart phone via an SD Wifi adapter. Automatically transfer the photos and delete them on the camera as they are taken.

  4. Good idea!

  5. Re:Encryption doesn't sell cameras on Camera Makers Resist Encryption, Despite Warnings From Photographers (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Correct. Camera companies are in competition to sell cameras. Adding an expensive option that very few people would want to use would just handicap that company in the sales competition.

  6. Re:SD card feature? on Camera Makers Resist Encryption, Despite Warnings From Photographers (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think SD cards have a whole lot of processing power. I may be wrong.

  7. Re:Robert Rackstraw is Amazing on Investigators Crack DB Cooper Code, Identify Suspect With Possible CIA Connections (seattlepi.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but when you were 28, were you ever mistaken for 45?

  8. Re:Robert Rackstraw is Amazing on Investigators Crack DB Cooper Code, Identify Suspect With Possible CIA Connections (seattlepi.com) · · Score: 1

    He was also 28 at the time, and the suspect was reported to be in his mid-40s. You can tell the difference.

  9. Also one code was for the Washington Post, and one for the LA Times. NY Times and Seattle Times were TBA. Hell of a code.

  10. Re:The War is already over. You lost. on DuckDuckGo CEO: 'Google and Facebook Are Watching Our Every Move Online. It's Time To Make Them Stop' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    He's right. People have given up.

  11. The Onion on Ask Slashdot: Which Tech Company Do You Respect Most? · · Score: 5, Funny

    The only source for news.

  12. Then what will real programmers use? on Insect Die-off: Even Common Species Are Becoming Rare (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    If there are no more butterflies, what will real programmers use? :https://xkcd.com/378/

  13. How about Windows 11? on Microsoft Office 2019 Will Only Work on Windows 10 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Will it work on Windows 11? I hear it's 1 louder.

  14. Re:No recovery, but they did soft land on SpaceX Successfully Launches Satellite Into Orbit On a Used Falcon 9 Rocket (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Outstanding

  15. No recovery, but they did soft land on SpaceX Successfully Launches Satellite Into Orbit On a Used Falcon 9 Rocket (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I guess they do this to obtain data, but they go through the landing procedure even if they don't plan on recovering. The first stage did its reentry burn, landing burn, deployed the landing legs and soft landed into the water. You can hear the call outs in the video.

  16. Now if my phone charge would last on T-Mobile Commits To 100 Percent Renewable Electricity By 2021 (cnbc.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It would be great if they sold me a phone where the battery would last me a couple of days, instead of running out of juice each evening.

  17. Where are they getting the money to buy it? on Drug Firms Shipped 20.8 Million Pain Pills To West Virginia Town of 2,900 (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    This is not a hotbed of economic progress. How are they affording to pay for it?

  18. Since it won't react to other people's voices, there is no way for South Park to play jokes on it.

  19. Buy a VCR on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Build a Private TV Channel For My Kids? · · Score: 1

    Record a tape of those shows, and pop it in. Then all your kids have to do is hit "play". Sometimes old tech is better.

  20. Saw an article on how the military was stationing drones all over the country to spy on people. It just corresponded with all the various Army and Air Force bases. Where else to you think they keep drones when not deployed. They have to train somewhere.

  21. Re:Robots can't do delivery on 'No Drones or Driverless Trucks', Demands Teamsters Labor Union (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought drones were going to deliver them to my porch.

  22. Teamsters originally drove teams of animals on 'No Drones or Driverless Trucks', Demands Teamsters Labor Union (cnbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If their contract still protected animal drivers, none of them would have a job.

  23. Re:Sho e make vse e iunak on Scientists Discover the Oldest Human Fossils Outside Africa (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Except that Alexander the Great guy.

  24. My license plate was just deported on ICE Is About To Start Tracking License Plates Across the US · · Score: 1

    ICE agents just pulled my car over and seized my license plate. Apparently it didn't pass inspection. It's in the mail back to Canada now.

  25. Surgeon General warning on the side? on Facebook Should Be 'Regulated Like Cigarette Industry', Salesforce CEO Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Are we going to have to show our driver's license before we log on? Put warning labels on it? Tax it heavily? Run anti-Facebook adds on TV? "Here is your brain. Here is your brain on Facebook. Any questions?"
