  1. Re:Joke? on Ask Slashdot: Sounds We Don't Hear Any More? · · Score: 2

    What's the joke about the typewriter song? I'm aware of the song, but I didn't think there was any kind of joke associated with it.

    You're kidding, right?

    Maybe not - probably you're just too young to know.

  2. Nothing is as it seems. on North Korea Denies Responsibility for Sony Attack, Warns Against Retaliation · · Score: 1

    Anybody remember this:

    The Pirate Bay 'Moves' to North Korea (Updated)
    The Pirate Bay admits to North Korean hosting hoax

    So before you make any accusations, you better be very very sure. Otherwise you risk another Iraq/Afghanistan/etc. disaster.

  3. Implant. on The Cashless Society? It's Already Coming · · Score: 1

    It's bulky. It can be forgotten, or lost.

    Unless you have your Apple iPhone or iPad implanted into your body, it can be forgotten or lost as well.

  4. Re:Video chat without ZRTP? on Firefox 34 Arrives With Video Chat, Yahoo Search As Default · · Score: 1

    That's what you get for putting a phone into a web browser.

    Use Linphone and get a proper VOIP phone (with ortp/zrtp).

  5. Re:Okay, this is a great idea on Debian Forked Over Systemd · · Score: 2

    If a site needs javascript just for displaying a little bit of text, then you need to fire the webdeveloper.

  6. Re:News at 11. on Four Dutch Uberpop Taxi Drivers Arrested, Fined · · Score: 1

    To all of you above - Thank you for proving my point.

    As a foreign visitor to NL - you're fucked.

    Now compare this to Switzerland - at the train station you can buy train tickets with cash at a ticket machine. And more importantly - you can upgrade your train ticket to include unlimited local public transportation for one day at the destination. With a simple click of a button.

    To me that makes Switzerland a very visitor friendly place.

    or take the train

    How? You can't even buy normal tickets anymore in The Netherlands.

  8. Re:Time to retire bash! on Bash To Require Further Patching, As More Shellshock Holes Found · · Score: 1

    The latest version of scsh is 0.6.7, released May 16, 2006.

    bash is actively developed. scsh is a dead project.

    Next time you recommend something, I strongly suggest you look at the date of the last release and the date of the last commit first.

  9. webdav & encfs on Dropbox and Google Want To Make Open Source Security Tools Easy To Use · · Score: 1

    If dropbox and google would support webdav, then this would be a non-issue.

    Mount WebDAV resources with davfs2 and secure it with encfs:

    Neil Operations & Checkout?
    Operations & Armstrong Checkout?
    Operations & Neil Checkout?

    Who knows? It doesn't say anywhere.

    And yes - I did RTFA.

    No disrespect, but for crying out loud - if you report on something, do it properly.

  14. Filter for EU searches. on Thousands of Europeans Petition For Their 'Right To Be Forgotten' · · Score: 1

    The links are not actually deleted from Google, but only filtered for searches done from the EU.

    So searches done from outside the EU can still see these links.

    So this is actually worse than what we had before. Now Google is filtering ... uh ... censoring search results for some countries.

    http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt...

    From the internet this content but do not disappear with it. Also just Google users should get displayed the filtered results in the European Union. Users outside the Member States, ie approximately in the United States should continue to get displayed the complete hit list. In this case, Google will note the language setting of the user.

    Google Translate is bad, but you get the gist.

  15. duh. on Study: Earthlings Not Ready For Alien Encounters, Yet · · Score: 2

    Bozeman, Montana on 5 April 2063.

    49 years from now.

  16. Re:Subjects suck. on Docker Turns 1: What's the Future For Open Source Container Tech? · · Score: 1

    Yeah - when I first read the subject line, I thought this was about containers.

  17. Re:As an inhabitant of EU it is simple on German Chancellor Proposes European Communications Network · · Score: 1

    Guess you never heard about:

    http://www.orsn.org/

    All root servers are located in Europe.

    And my guess is you never heard about this one either:

    http://www.opennicproject.org/

    Oh yeah - I forgot. For Germany's Angela Merkel this is all "Neuland" - Undiscovered Country.

  18. And don't forget. on New Home Automation? · · Score: 2

    Copper wire mesh - to keep the radio signals out.

  19. US Requirement??? on US Requirement For Software Dev Certification Raises Questions · · Score: 1

    http://it.slashdot.org/story/13/12/30/1646227/the-startling-array-of-hacking-tools-in-nsas-armory

    US "Requirement"?

    This is a joke, right?

    You have lost your moral high ground. You are not in a position anymore to demand or require anything from other people or other countries. And this includes certain western european countries as well.

  20. Wargames. on Snowden Used Social Engineering To Get Classified Documents · · Score: 1

    Well - the only way you're gonna get 100% security is ... to take the men out of the loop.

    And we all know what happened after that.

    Obama must be jerking off in front of a poster of Richard M. Nixon while reading this news.

    You think so? I find it more probable that Obama is jerking off in front of a poster of Erich Mielke.

  24. Of course. on Microsoft Is Working On a Cloud Operating System For the US Government · · Score: 1

    If things keep going the way they are going, then the US govt will soon be their only customer. So of course they are "working" on this ...

  25. Re:Another experiment gone bad. on NSA Firing 90% of Its Sysadmins · · Score: 1

    It's the orders they get from the politicians that make things messy, but you take an oath to trust and execute.

    That's what they said in the German military too before and during World War 2: "Befehl ist Befehl.".

    That is no excuse.
