  1. Re:not exactly, see Firefox screenshot on LastPass Vulnerable To Extremely Simple Phishing Attack (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    You could have LastPass remember your e-mail and autofill it for you when it prompts you for the master password. A phishing site typically won't know your e-mail, unless they asked you for it (as a part of registration process, for example). I suggest using different e-mail than the one you use for your LastPass Account for every site that requires a password. If you're on Gmail adding "+[domainname]" to your Gmail username is enough, since Gmail ignores everything after a plus sign.

    No, that was David Warner, a.k.a. the Master Control Program and Chancellor Gorkon. Their voices have a similar quality, which is probably why you confused them.

    I know what a "Plane" is, but how do you Thunt?

    Seriously though, your post has good info.

    And here I was thinking that Planethunter is a mixture of words "Plan" and "ethunter"...if I didn't read your post, I would remain ignorant for the rest of my life.

    Pure coincidence that they'll mostly end up 'catching' dissidents and whistleblowers

    And chances are they might "find" a huge collection of child porn on their computers by a greater "coincidence" still.

    And, most disturbingly, an average Joe voter will be satisfied because The Gov't found a perfect scapegoat.

    If you place a frog in a hot water, it will immediately jump out. But if you place it in cold water and slowly raise the temperature, the frog will end up boiled.
    Apparently it isn't much different with humans. And I'm not talking just about global warming, this is also how we're losing our freedoms.

    QUIT USING THE SUBJECT LINE AS PART OF YOUR COMMENTS!! It was a bad idea when the first person started it and it's still a bad idea!

    Don't blame the commenters, blame the Slashdot editors for introducing subject lines to begin with.

  9. Re:Maybe because the movies were not that good? on Why More 'Star Wars' Actors Don't Become Stars · · Score: 1

    If anything, Guinness hurt his reputation as an actor for being in Star Wars. I've heard that he was relieved to see that Obi Wan dies since he grew tired of saying one-liners, although Lucas convinced him to appear as a ghost in future movies.

  10. Re:OK, but... on Mike Godwin Interviewed · · Score: 3, Informative

    And yet that's exactly how most Godwin invokers act. It's enough for you to mention Hitler, no matter the context, and they'll immediately scream "Godwin's law, you lose the argument" like little spoiled brats.

  11. Re:This Godwin sounds like an arrogant prick on Mike Godwin Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Knowing average Slashdot user's intelligence today, it's far more likely your post will be modded as funny (or perhaps Slashdot trolls with mod points are doing that on purpose).

  12. Hey Mike, go suck Hitler's rotten cock on Mike Godwin Interviewed · · Score: -1, Troll

    Mike Godwin is a piece of shit and his so-called law is nothing more than a subtle form of censorship. People who invoke it as a means to discredit other person's point of view deserve to be drowned in their own shit.
    Fuck them and fuck Godwin!

    Yet there's plenty of non-anonymous trolls on Facebook. Did Facebook made the world a better place? I don't think so. Trolls will be trolls, even if you strip them off their anonymity.

    And imagine someone beating your skull in with a 2x4 while you were getting into your car in which you were going to get into a fatal 18 car pileup on the highway, causing something that would still happen less than an hour later.

    Assuming I was getting into my car with the purpose of injuring or killing myself? I don't see a difference either. Furthermore, if my plan involved colliding with other cars and endangering lives of others then the person beating my skull should be applauded (and if not, they still save some property and prevent environmental damage).

    But your argument didn't seem to come with such preconditions, Mr. Strawman.

    Well I agree with you that the problem lies in the legal definition, but laws declaring what's legal or illegal also shape people's perception. Woman deciding to perform an abortion isn't doing anything illegal and is not a story that you'll hear on the news, but now imagine media and people's reaction if someone kicked the very same woman in the guts while she was on her way to the abortion clinic, causing something that would still happen less than an hour later.

    We've had enough stories about teachers who had (totally consensual) sex with her student, yet the media and the authorities were screaming "sex abuse" just because the so-called victim wasn't 18...back in my high-school days we could only dream about our sexy teacher giving us a blowjob.

    Paedophilia itsef is a slippery slope as well. There is a drastic difference between having a sex with a 5-year old and a 15-year old, and yet both of those gets you placed in a jail (from what I know about laws on the matter at least).

  21. Re:People Are Such Babies on Facebook Apologizes For 'Year In Review' Photos · · Score: 1

    I can say with great confidence that the algorithm indeed sucks since the stupid images didn't even load for me - I've tried with different browsers and all I see when I click on "My Year in Review" is a slightly darker viewport.
    Facebook didn't apologize to me but chances are that they don't even know that I have a problem since I don't have a blog a lot of people follow, I didn't write on my wall about it and I only tried to inform them through the generic report a problem feature that nobody seemed to read.
    Of course, my life won't be at loss because I've never seen what would be on "My Year in Review" (after all, I've seen all the images that are meant to be there before) so I didn't made a big deal out of it and I didn't care enough to try to figure out why the images aren't loading, or inform people who might want to that that.
    But regardless, fuck you Facebook for not giving me an apology.

    Also, I'm not sure how you give credit to Constantine for founding Christianity; I thought that honor went to Jesus, or perhaps Paul or even Peter.

    But none of them was a warlord so it kinda ruins the message. Stop ruining the party for anti-theists, parent! You're supposed to correct them by quoting some silly shit from The Old Testament, not by mentioning something they just don't pretend to know!
