  1. Why is this even possible? on Equifax Website Hacked Again, this Time To Redirect To Fake Flash Update (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Any private citizen who would commit a tiny, insignificant fraction of this kind of blunder would be behind bars, with his assets seized. What is so special about a company that should have been shut down weeks ago?

    And why is that CEO still at large?

    Virgin.... Slip-n-slide... water lubrication.... backyard...

    I swear, when I was in my teen years, I would instantly have though of a fitting joke. I'm getting old...

    I cannot really tell whether this is informative, insightful, a rather ingenious attempt at trolling or you forgot to take your pills...

    Well done. *golfclap*

    It's been a while since I've read anything remotely that wacky at /.

    Read TFS again (don't even need to read TFA, I didn't either). She only has a "private" profile. Not one of her "professional" service. Only one where she is Mrs. Normal living a normal life, with a normal job, normal friends, normal hobbies...

    People filming themselves having sex and then posting it online? That's unpossible.

    If that existed, how could you possibly sell porn, there'd be pages where you can watch people shag for free.

    No! Are you crazy? I won't delete my Facebook account.

    I'll keep it in the empty state it is now, lest someone creates one in my name and abuses it to slander me.

    Both are real problems.

    The US space program suffered from something that's part of the system it is sitting in. While there was competition with the Russians for the moon, money was no issue. But it was obvious the nanosecond Armstrong set the foot onto that rock, the game was over and the support for spending money on it was gone. We did it, we one-up'ed the Commies, now stop wasting money on it.

    Anything that happened in the US space program after 1970 was basically inertia. The time it took for the space program to REALLY fall apart is testament only to just HOW much money was blown into it before the moonshot.

    And of course Uranus had to have large gas clouds. But you have to hand it to him, he's a really good sport and doesn't even take the jokes about his name with good humor, no, he goes out of his way to make them possible!

    Last time I flew with Delta I felt like I stepped into a time machine. The seats looked like out of a 70s airplane catastrophe movie and the beehive hairdo of the attendants didn't really comfort me either.

    When that tech looked at the engine shook his head and went away I wanted to get off.

    I know, I know, but try to argue that with the TSA idiots. No clue about statistics but think they're king of the airport.

  21. Re:Neuromancer on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your Favorite William Gibson Novel? · · Score: 1

    The point is that if you even tried to put the content of Neuromancer into a single movie, it would run far, far longer than anyone would be willing to sit through. What I could see is it being turned into a TV series like Bab5, you take the basic plot and spin a few subplots around it to stretch it to 26-30 episodes. That could work.

    Seriously, if something like this came up in a cheesy 80s action show I'd switch channel.

    Once you realize you install it on Windows 10, you start to relax again. It's like having a ticking bomb in a plane that lost its tail and is plummeting towards the ground with a few 100 mph. Does it matter that there's a ticking bomb next to you?

    Are we safer now from terrorists than we were 15 years ago? I keep hearing that there is this huge terror threat and when I look around Europe, I can't help but see things blow up every now and then.

    So what purpose does it serve to eliminate more and more freedoms when there is exactly ZERO gain to show for it?
