  1. Re: No constitutional amendment? on Supreme Court Rules States Can Require Online Retailers To Collect Sales Tax (npr.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The constitution doesn't grant states power, it *limits* federal power.

  2. Re: This is highly misleading. on Facebook Will Harass You Mercilessly If You Try To Break Up (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    You have clearly never tried to delete an FB account recently. You can delete your account without waiting weeks and you absolutely *will* get hounded by them.

  3. Re: I still get emails on Facebook Will Harass You Mercilessly If You Try To Break Up (slate.com) · · Score: 2

    Spoken like someone who knows how it *should* work with no idea how it actually *does* work.

  4. Part of the process in trying to delete your account is to not log in for an extended period of time. Facebook has decided that if I tell them to delete my account I probably meant keel it active and keep nagging me to log back in. I have tried several times to delete my account but they refuse to actually delete it.

  5. Re: Bamboozlement on Facebook Will Harass You Mercilessly If You Try To Break Up (slate.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    He isn't making it up. I tried to delete my account last year and had the same experience but worse. After not logging in for over a month one day I clicked on a link from a Google Search that was someone's FB account and I got automatically logged into my account that they were supposed to have deleted weeks earlier. There is basically no way to ever delete your account with the GUI following their instructions. I'm guessing if you contact customer support you *might* have better luck.

  6. Re: Yoga is not meditation on People's Egos Get Bigger After Meditation and Yoga, Says Study (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm by afraid you know little about Yoga as well as having a weak understanding regarding what exactly does and does not qualify as meditation.

  7. Re: Hard wired and behind a firewall is the ONLY w on Kickstarter Bets On 'Wired' Arduino-Compatible IoT Platform · · Score: 1

    Hardwired does provide improved security, but if done correctly wireless can be almost as secure.

  8. Re: CAN bus on Kickstarter Bets On 'Wired' Arduino-Compatible IoT Platform · · Score: 1

    TCP/IP also has "zero security", but this isn't a problem because security happens at higher layers of the software communication stack.

  9. Re: Slashvertisement brought to you by.. on Kickstarter Bets On 'Wired' Arduino-Compatible IoT Platform · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is 100% in the spirit of the original Slashdot I assure you. The fact that you have no interest in such things suggest that you might prefer other news sources.

  10. Unless you tried a known good Atheros chip based NIC of the same model and manufacturer you don't know if it was a driver issue or a hardware issue. Most of the times my drivers were "having issues" it turned out to be hardware issues. That obviously doesn't mean this isn't a driver issue either.

  11. Re: You need zenstates on Linux 4.18 Preparing Many New Features While Dropping 100k+ Lines of Code (phoronix.com) · · Score: 0

    Your comment suggests that you have never seen any Linux / Unix configuration files but mistakenly thought you had a great troll. You got it backwards though. The lie that trolls try to sell it that they *aren't* human readable. Better luck next time!

  12. Re: Article is much more interesting than summary on The End of Video Coding? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    That is really the problem with movies in general; they are always considering how humans perceive them. It is almost as if that were literally all that matters.

  13. Re: Life of author of work for hire; Bridgeman v C on Copyright Law Could Put End To Net Memes (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That was awesome. Excellent concise explanation of US copyright!

  14. What are you going on about? Microsoft doesn't provide the compiler unless you decide to use theirs. No self respecting security expert would use Microsoft's compiler to build secure code. It's gcc or llvm, which are also open source.

  15. You don't seem to understand how git works or any SCM tool works. It is trivially easy to see what has changed and look closely at those changes. So no they won't be "rotating" intentional flaws.

  16. If my trust in Microsoft could be quantified it would be a large negative number. I trust the code however as it is available on github and I have zero doubt it will be reviewed by experts more qualified than anyone who works at Microsoft. Microsoft knows this as well and even they aren't so stupid as to chance getting caught trying anything unscrupulous in this case.

  17. Re: User land == not kernel on Zip Slip Vulnerability Affects Thousands of Projects (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I have done so many times. It is very easy to do if you actually put the effort into learning it, which again, takes minimal time and effort.

  18. Re: Why do they want us to not type? on The Asus Project Precog is a Pioneering Dual-Display Laptop, Due in 2019 (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Somebody should invent USB keyboards!

  19. Re: No doubt... on Apple Deprecates OpenGL and OpenCL in macOS 10.14 Mojave · · Score: 1

    Mmmm ... delicious negative Covfefee!

  20. Re: Standard Operating Procedure? on FCC Emails Show Agency Spread Lies To Bolster Dubious DDoS Attack Claims: Gizmodo (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Kim Jong In mocked Trump with a huge envelope to poke fun at his tiny hands and then stated that they will still pursue nuclear capability but might open up a burger chain as a concession. The fact that you think there is now peace in Korea isn't surprising, since you have to be so slow as to not pick up on these things to support Trump almost by definition.

  21. Re: User land == not kernel on Zip Slip Vulnerability Affects Thousands of Projects (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Luckily having your system compromised because you are too lazy to spend the minimal effort involved in learning how to use SELinux isn't inconvenient at all.

  22. Re: NOW the iWatch has Automatic Workout detection on watchOS 5 Brings Automatic Workout Detection, Walkie-Talkie Mode, Podcast App To Apple Watch (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    It is nothing like the Fitbit if it is actually accurate. I guess you missed the memo that their fitness tracking is (or at least was) highly inaccurate

  23. Re: Treat your phone number like your email on Why No One Answers Their Phone Anymore (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I have contact entry titled "scumbags" which is set to send callers directly to voicemail. I answer unknown numbers if I am not otherwise occupied and when it is a scam / unsolicited sales call I just add them to the scumbags entry. I don't know how many times they call again but I *rarely* receive said calls anymore.

  24. Re: It certainly casts Trump's refusal... on Signs of Sophisticated Cellphone Spying Found Near White House, US Officials Say (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't get it ... why are you evening Slashdot if you are so technically clueless that you think that's the issue?

  25. Re: Future failure... on Dell is Reportedly Working on a Dual-Screen Windows ARM Device (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Fedora Linux can be installed on secure boot enabled systems, and IIRC there are a few others that do as well.
