  1. wrong on Why Your IT Department Needs To Staff a Hacker · · Score: 1

    my company is not going to pay someone to fix the problems it already knows about but decides not to fix to save money

  2. hash the usernames as well on Lessons Learned From Cracking 2M LinkedIn Passwords · · Score: 1

    why not has the usernames as well? however even using salts is weak in this manner. You have to do more than just add salt and hash to have a decent measure of security. If you use only one algorithm you really do not care about security

  3. bargain on Cost of Pre-Screening All YouTube Content: US$37 Billion · · Score: 1

    "but pirated content costs a gazillion so this is a bargain" - RIAA

  4. logical conclusion on Overheated Voting Machine Cast Its Own Votes · · Score: 2

    well this can't be right the toaster won in a landslide

  5. here's an idea on Iranian Military Says It's Copying US Drone · · Score: 1

    create a drone with all types of computer virus' in its chips, lets it "crash land" in iran, then reap the rewards ?

  6. as long as the asteroids don't mine us , I am ok with it

  7. logic conclusion on Whistleblower: NSA Has All of Your Email · · Score: 0

    this means they have the largest collection of viagra spam emails in existence. I am guessing they collect this information for the secret service

  8. their own fault on 24-Year-Old Asks Facebook For His Data, Gets 1,200 PDFs · · Score: 0

    no one makes you use facebook, if you are dumb enough to just give your information to strangers maybe you deserve it

  9. I went there once on Pop Artists Support Megaupload; Universal Censors · · Score: 1

    I went to megaupload once and the main page tried to install a virus, luckily sandboxie prevented any damage

  10. if you have to ask... on Has Apple Made Programmers Cool? · · Score: 1

    then no

  11. troops vs drugs on Weaponizable Police UAV Now Operational In Texas · · Score: 1

    the us troops should be brought back from Iraq and Afghanistan and sent to the borders, especially Mexico to fight drug war

  12. people don't pay attention to privacy on Dolphin, a 3rd Party Android Browser, Relayed URL Data · · Score: 1

    I am always shocked at the number of android users (possible apple too - I don't know) that just install apps without any worry about what the apps actually do. I have seen simple battery monitor apps that want internet access and access to your contacts. Come on people, pay attention !

  13. give me a break... on When Having the US Debt Paid Off Was a Problem · · Score: 0

    the world can survive on its own, the U.S. is not the center of the universe or the world. The idea that debt is a good thing can only be a stupid idea. I must have missed those news reports around the country where they thank the U.S. for their debt so they can survive another day

  14. weak case ? on Samsung Ordered To Hand Over Unreleased Designs To Apple · · Score: 1

    they must have a weak case, you can not be held liable for unreleased or proof of concept products

  15. I think on Easily Distracted People May Have 'Too Much Brain' · · Score: 1

    well I think that is

  16. Re:No Correlation with Reality on Why the New Guy Can't Code · · Score: 1

    some good points, normalization however is overrated in the real world (but always needed to some degree), sometimes is best to duplicate some columns to cut down on number sql calls and for some reporting needs

  17. off the mark on Why the New Guy Can't Code · · Score: 1

    this article is so off the mark, I worked 40+ hours at full time job and went to college at the same time, where would I find time to code an android app or such? today I spend all my coding time for my job - which I can't just take and show other employers. I dont have any content to put on a website. If I did have time to code apps I would be making money off them and not need to work for your company

  18. charities ? on Judge Reveals Secret Righthaven Copyright Contract · · Score: 0

    I thought copyright didn't apply to charities in most cases

  19. my interest on Ask Slashdot: Where Is the Universal Gesture Navigation Set? · · Score: 2

    when I first got into computer science my interest was at its all time high, years later the lack of standards (especially web development), have annoyed me so much I really don't want to code at all or look at code outside of work. Why can't we code once for all browsers? why can't database queries be more standardized? Why couldn't ms / *nix use common EOF and other attributes since they have known about each other for decades now? why do I need a 68 in 1 card reader ( I suspect to get more money out of me than a 5-1 in card reader) Why does every electronic device needs its own adapter? I could go on and on as it seems everything invented has to have its own connectors and way of doing things. Seriously coding would be so easy with some real standards

  20. DOS Attacks on FBI Raids Texas ISP For Anonymous DDoS Info · · Score: 0, Troll

    DOS attacks can damage the economy and cost a people jobs and/or limit new job growth, these actions only hurt people. They belong behind bars.

  21. that's nothing on Next Generation of Algorithms Inspired by Ants · · Score: 1

    put a group of politicians in a maze and tell them to find the money as fast as possible, .................. bingo - best algorithm ever

  22. a small rant... on One Expert Pegs Yearly Cost of IT Failure At $6.2 Trillion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    how about uniform standards and less versions of sql, less browsers, less version of unix/linux, and maybe even standards in linux so that installations and menu additions and gui stuff was easier like windows. Yes linux folk open source 1000 different distros is not helping linux take over the desktop. And must windows really move stuff around each version just to confuse people and make them relearn again? But most of all why must applications be given so much freedom in terms of operating system. Can't the os keep more of these details in the kernel and limit the damage applications and viruses do to the pc. I don't think windows or linux are the future, I think someone has to create a new secure operating system that is easier to use than windows or linux and maybe doesn't let developers and users run free like the wild west. As much as I like all the insane things I can do with C++ memory/pointers , and changing the os and windows start text to anything I like there is no need for this to be open to users. The os needs to be more like a vault with bank security guards controlling it. And do we really need so many programming language, Sun wouldn't give MS java freedom so they create C#; etc. ruby , perl, smalltalk, etc.. is this really helping? And last why is javascript allowed to do stuff like control my back button , etc.. it has been years and no one can deprecate this dangerous behavior??

  23. I do it all the time on Music While Programming? · · Score: 0

    I listen to music all the time, if your developers are that bad at programming that music will slow their productivity then you should get new developers. Also what about time it takes the server to load, time wasted due to anti-virus scanning every file you are using - which when your a developer is HUGE. And all that time wasted in meetings which turn out to be irrelevant. Sounds like you have a boss that is ignorant and just doesn't get it. But thanks now I have a new question to ask potential employers, if they don't allow music I will walk, what is this prison - a job is a two way contact not a one way relationship.

  25. question on CIA Manual Thought Lost In 1973 Available On Amazon · · Score: 0

    I am confused as to how google and amazon got rights to all these books. Doesn't this violate copyright laws. If I create a book will google and amazon get it without my knowledge.
