  1. This is one reason on Android Phones Can Be Hacked Remotely By Viewing Malicious PNG Image (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    let's get real: Even if your Android still receives security updates, there's no telling how long it will be before manufacturers and carriers get it together to push out the patches

    ...I still prefer an iPhone.

  2. Re:Good - Forget Mars on Mars One is Dead (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Didn't know one can make a comment and be automatically modded 3 (+2) ... usually it's 2 (+1).

  3. The total mass of insects is falling by a precipitous 2.5% a year, according to the best data available, suggesting they could vanish within a century

    But 0.975^100 ~ 8% not 0.

  4. using CSS... unbelievable.

  5. Did you try... on How Many .com Domain Names Are Unused? (singaporedatacompany.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...prefixing with 'www.'?

  6. "Cry me a river" in the 21st century on Lawyer Sues Apple Over FaceTime Eavesdrop Bug, Says It Let Someone Record a Sworn Testimony (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's kind of obvious the guy is only interested in (trying to) make a (huge) profit from the lawsuit while he probably didn't "suffer" much from the bug.

  7. Re:Skeptical of the quality of his contributions on Meet the Man Behind a Third of What's On Wikipedia (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Edits might be a simple typo fix. I suspect the guy fixed typos one by one, publishing each time in between, to increase the count.

  8. It's Starcraft. Was not obvious maybe.

  9. Re:So, not the mona lisa at all on 'Mona Lisa Effect' Is Real But Doesn't Apply To Leonardo's Painting (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That was true in 1956. Modern photography has ways to render a realistic Mona Lisa from a given point of vue, provided that the viewer is looking at the picture from the same angle / distance as was the camera when it took the shot, and the same lighting.

  10. How will they call the next one?

  11. Re:Such a huge $2 price hike on Netflix To Raise Prices By 13% To 18% (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    This summary does a very good job at making a $2 per month price increase appear very dramatic.

    No. But 18% is.

  12. To where? register.com?

  13. The thing is, many people chose GD a long time ago, then just extend.

  14. Re:Address space collisions... on German Police Ask Router Owners For Help In Identifying a Bomber's MAC Address (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    you can either hide them behind different switches

    As long as it's on the same LAN, that won't work (as the IP layer is not reached, only the data-link layer) unless you separate the LAN via VLANs, this is done thanks to L3 switches (that use the IP address, like a router without really routing, just pass the packets to the right ports).

  15. Re:Address space collisions... on German Police Ask Router Owners For Help In Identifying a Bomber's MAC Address (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Doubt that, how would that work on the same LAN?

  16. Re: Seriously? on 'Two Years Later, I Still Miss the Headphone Port' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh you always have one file per drive?

  17. Re: Seriously? on 'Two Years Later, I Still Miss the Headphone Port' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but does that USB drive make that unforgettable tick-tick-tick sound when you use it?

  18. Re:Seriously? on 'Two Years Later, I Still Miss the Headphone Port' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Or... (s)he purchased the no-jack phone to, then, realize how important it is to hum (her).

  19. Re:Superheros on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Movies and TV Shows of 2018? · · Score: 1

    At the time, my favorite was "a trip to the moon" by Méliès.

  20. Re:Superheros on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Movies and TV Shows of 2018? · · Score: 1

    It is like everyone regressed to being a 12 year old boy.

    Not so sure. When I was 12, movies were of better quality than these lets-make-a-quick-&-crappy-pre/sequel-to-keep-licensing-alive.

  21. BCS & GoT on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Movies and TV Shows of 2018? · · Score: 1

    Not a surprise, I presume, but the 2018 seasons of Better Call Saul, and Game of Thrones were great.

  22. Re:Bohemian Rhapsody on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Movies and TV Shows of 2018? · · Score: 1

    Oscar of the "less likely actor to embody Freddie Mercury"?

  23. Re: What does problematic mean? on A Woman on Twitter is Abused Every 30 Seconds (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1
    Actually

    People: 7.7 bn
    Women (half): 3.850 bn
    Women online (half): 1.925 bn
    One woman abused every 30 seconds: one particular woman is to be abused, on average, every 30 x 1.925 bn seconds
    Or every 1830 years.

    That's not so bad, after all.
