  1. 90 minutes?? on US Voting Machines Cracked In 90 Minutes At DEFCON (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    They were probably not in best shape

  2. Ask Slashdot: Should Average Consumers Install An Antivirus Program On Their Windows System, Nowadays?

  3. And whoever finds a bug in the Edge browser on Microsoft Launches Windows Bug Bounty Program With Rewards Ranging From $500 To $250,000 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    gets a 10 cents reward.

  4. Re:With a bit of luck on Microsoft Paint To Be Killed Off After 32 Years (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Some one should fill you in on just how coloured your views are.

    Maybe because I had to use Paint .

  5. With a bit of luck on Microsoft Paint To Be Killed Off After 32 Years (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    ...Paint will draw the rest of the company with it

  6. Re:NO! on Microsoft Paint To Be Killed Off After 32 Years (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    I still use it in a professional setting! YES, I AM DEAD SERIOUS.

    You must be the one making Microsoft icons!

  7. Re:ethical rules of war ? on Top US General Warns Against Rogue Killer Robots (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Less a question of ethics, than what is being done in Russia and China... We don't want people fighting robots.

  8. Re:Don't worry... on UK To Require Drone Registration And Safety Exams (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    just to name a few

    That's mostly it, actually :-) List

  9. Don't worry... on UK To Require Drone Registration And Safety Exams (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It's only for the Brits, because they drive on the left.

  10. Re:Meaning of "disaster" on Disastrous 'Pokemon Go' Event Leads To Mass Refunds (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Disaster: "a sudden event, such as an accident or a natural catastrophe, that causes great damage or loss of life "

    Maybe some pokemons lost life?

  11. No worries about RAM and CPU on Public Service Announcement: You Should Not Force Quit Apps on iOS (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    I force-quit some apps that are simply bugged, and reopening is a workaround. Even that Weather app (Apple), needs sometimes to be closed and reopened (or it doesn't refresh the weather / location)

  12. Re:This is what happens... on Game of Thrones Pirates Being Monitored By HBO, Warnings On The Way (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    ...when you have a good show, people want to see it.

    Well, GoT gets slightly "walking deaded": the previous season (6) showed what happens when the show and the books take (slightly) different paths, sensationalism takes over the depth and subtlety found in the books, at times (season 6). Not awful - yet. But let's hope season 7 will not ressemble a Marvel recipe.

  13. Show of strength on Navy Unveils First Active Laser Weapon In Persian Gulf (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Looks like new weapons arise to face Russian and North Korean threats. Actually, probably not really "new" weapons - they were kept hidden in case of a real conflict. The new president in charge decided to exhibit them.

  14. The watered sprinkler on Navy Unveils First Active Laser Weapon In Persian Gulf (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    And the target used a mirror...

  15. Before & after on Facial Recognition Could Be Coming To Police Body Cameras (defenseone.com) · · Score: 2

    Before facial recognition: - the guy reminds me a pic from the station, not sure that's him though, let's check first
    After facial recognition: - the camera says that's him and he's dangerous, shoot!

  16. Re:Annoying things that could have been fixed easi on Ask Slashdot: What Software (Or Hardware) Glitch Makes You Angry? · · Score: 1

    why the heck do you buy an iPhone?

    My iPhone is 3 years old and still works great. This is not the point anyway. the point is "Glitches that could have been fixed easily thanks to a bit more testing". And since Jobs was replaced, these annoying glitches are much more frequent. Apple trend is "new features" but it seems the new management lacks authority to prevent the simplest software regressions.

  17. Re:EVERYTHING on Ask Slashdot: What Are The Lesser-Known Roles Of The IT Department? · · Score: 1

    You forgot "giving advice and recommendations on employees own systems"

  18. Re:No unicode on Slashdot. on Ask Slashdot: What Software (Or Hardware) Glitch Makes You Angry? · · Score: 1

    Now slashdot removes undesired characters (basically anything above 0x7f) thanks to a simple regex. Would be more difficult if the whole Unicode scope is available.

  19. Annoying things that could have been fixed easily on Ask Slashdot: What Software (Or Hardware) Glitch Makes You Angry? · · Score: 0

    Glitches that could have been fixed easily thanks to a bit more testing. The iPhone has more and more of these.

  20. What do YOU want? on Netflix Shows Are All Worldwide Hits -- Until They're Not (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    On Netflix (streaming), almost each time we want to watch something specific it's not there . So we settle for something else. It's like going to a pizza, but they don't use cheese. Netflix series are good? A few are. Most of them rely on conventional recipes, and after a few episodes, boring ahead. The bad in this is that Netflix teaches people how to view something they don't really want to watch. Like going to a bakery where you don't like much the bread, but that's the only bakery around, so you buy that bread and get used to it. Do you really want that? What will that become within 5 years? I'd favor streaming where you get exactly what you want to watch, even if the price is per show.

  21. Cash Drawbacks
    - No payment trace
    - Might be stolen (without any insurance)
    - Heavier (than a card), usually
    - Might carry some previous owner's diseases

    Cash Advantages
    - No payment trace
    - Might be easily donated/given
    - Heavier (than a card), usually - you know where it is
    - Might carry some previous owner's fragrance

  22. Re:Red Spot Looks Like a Butthole on NASA Releases Juno's First Stunning Close-Ups of Jupiter's Giant Storm (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're into planetary-scale goatses, perhaps you'd like to check out the north pole of Saturn some time.

    You may even go up to Uranus (or down, depending...)

  23. Re:I think that should win a meterological award on NASA Releases Juno's First Stunning Close-Ups of Jupiter's Giant Storm (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    "We'll have a clear sky after the tropical storm, in another few hundred years"

  24. Re:Translation on Amazon May Give Developers Your Private Alexa Transcripts (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Translation: "Amazon Has Already Given Developers Your Private Alexa Transcripts"

    Considering the huge amount of data, to be humanly processed by people in order to improve programs, I'd be less worried than automatically processed data by Amazon AI itself.

  25. Don't get it all from the same place on Private Company Plans To Bring Moon Rocks Back To Earth In Three Years (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    or we might get a permanent crescent moon
