    Then go off and move to North Korea. Then you don't have to worry about getting access to encryption or people having pesky civil rights.

    And yet as we have found out, despite claims to the contrary to scare people most criminals and terrorists are not actually using encryption.

    That 90% clearance rate also includes numerous false arrests and convictions so it's a meaningless number.

    No, if I'm dead I wouldn't care. That's sort of what bein dead means.

    The numbers are a global average. Do you understand how averages work?

  7. Re:Car Tech? on Samsung To Acquire Connected Car Firm Harman For $8 Billion (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    No it appears you don't. According to their most recent quarterly results out of $1.7 billion sales that:

    "Connected car" = $797 million
    "Lifestyle audio" = $568 million
    "Professional solutions" = $240 million
    "Connected services" = $167 million

    So, no, their "car stuff" is not the smallest part of their business. It is the largest part at 45% of their quarterly net sales.

    So basically no difference to what we have now?

    Exactly this just reeks of someone making spurious conclusions to start a PR campaign. How exactly did System76 verify that all this traffic was from "Apple loyalists"? Did these supposed "loyalists" have to submit proof of identity and take a test?

    90% of the world's websites can handle UTF-8 just fine without the silly bugs of Slashcode. It clearly can't be that hard to do it correctly.

    Explaining someone's joke always makes it funnier.

  15. Oh how generous of them! We should all bow down at their graciousness to *gasp* fix their shitty products!

  16. Your claim about hindsight with respect to default passwords might be true if this was still 1998. Having your devices using a default password that can be found by simple web searches in this day and age is simply gross negligence. And secondly, one of the flaws being attacked in their products is a bug in OpenSSH that is around 12-years-old now. They get no kudos for only now fixing long-ago discovered flaws in the software they ship.

  17. You're impressed that they've done the bare minimum after having had insecure products on the market for years? You must be easily impressed.

  18. If they were really taking things seriously, it would've recalled or patched these products a long time ago when the security problems were first identified. Their statement just reads as PR spin.

    The question is why the NFL didn't anticipate this and buy them ruggedized laptops.

    There are about 400 million reasons.

  20. Re:Is the one for Rasperry Pi 3 64-bit? on Fedora 25 Beta Linux Distro Now Available For Raspberry Pi (betanews.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    The focus for Fedora 25 with the limited time and resources available, was to provide a polished experience with a single disk image for both the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3. At the time the work started it wasn't clear whether the aarch64 kernel support would land upstream in time. The intention is to officially support the Raspberry Pi 3 as an aarch64 device in Fedora 26. There has been significant enabling work in Fedora 25 but there is still quite a bit more work to do to finish the aarch64 support at time of writing.

    Well it's just that we can't all pack as much innovation into our posts as Samsung did into the Note 7.

  23. Bullshit. In Texas, first degree murder can carry a death sentence and if you don't receive that it's often a life sentence without parole. Where exactly did you get that 10 years nonsense?

  24. People get multiple life sentences for murder all the time.
