    Sorry... Resistance was futlie

  3. Re:broader market decline? on Sony Warns It Will Take $1 Billion Writedown, Blames Slowing DVD Sales (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Disc sales get cannibalized by streaming services, digital sales, and rental markets.

    Well, I hope Sony knows what to do then. But if they want to make physical discs relevant again, they might want to remove some or all of the licensing restrictions that plague them.

  4. broader market decline? on Sony Warns It Will Take $1 Billion Writedown, Blames Slowing DVD Sales (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    That's funny! Somebody should tell Disney

  5. Re:Open source it !!! on Let Us Now Praise MacroMind Director (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    Why software has to die? Open source it !!!

    I agree. They should lose their copyright protection if they don't make it available. We need to put relevant conditions on copyright.

  6. Re: Don't bother RTFA.. on Let Us Now Praise MacroMind Director (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe I should write an article asking people to praise IE or maybe Netscape

    IE, no, Mosaic... And I still use Netscape. There's still no better.

  7. Re:Trump is what he said he was on The US Border Patrol Is Checking Detainees' Facebook Profiles (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    the Senate will likely stay under Republican control after the 2018 election

    Just as well, the democrats did squat while they had control. This is all the voters' fault. They reelected 97% of congress and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

  8. Re:Brave new world on The US Border Patrol Is Checking Detainees' Facebook Profiles (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Hardly matters, somebody else will share it for you, and not enough people care to effectively prevent it. Hell, nobody cares that he is defying the court order to release them.

  9. Re:Not "continuously" in the geek sense of the wor on Server Runs Continuously For 24 Years (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    This article is really just an ad for Stratus.

    Or Phil Hogan's résumé

  10. Re:Employment is not the goal on Solar Energy Now Employs More Americans Than Oil, Coal and Gas Combined (computerworld.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The goal is profit. Energy is the means.

    We don't build factories and plants to keep people busy...

    Right, we create bureaucracies, public and private, for that

  11. Re: Public masturbation of 783565 on Donald Trump Is Sworn In As the 45th US President (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Spreading your perverted fantasies around a bit these days, eh?

  12. Re:Take a note of who is doing the requesting on Top Security Researchers Ask The Guardian To Retract Its WhatsApp Backdoor Report (technosociology.org) · · Score: 2

    The list is a whos-who of the most reliable sources of information on security.

    That's part of the problem. Real security people don't expose themselves to the public, much less talk to the press.

    These people here just serve big business and have every reason to whitewash the report.
    Nice bit of propaganda there:
    *a defensible user-interface trade-off* The threat is remote, quite limited in scope, applicability (requiring a server or phone number compromise) and stealthiness (users who have the setting enabled still see a warning; "even if after the fact). The fact that warnings exist means that such attacks would almost certainly be quickly detected by security-aware users.... Telling people to switch away from WhatsApp is very concretely endangering people... (??!)
    Say whaaa? A little dramatic and self serving, no?

    The problem that it exists.

  13. Protecting the data is part of the show.

  14. Nonstate actors? on ISIS Is Dropping Bombs With Drones In Iraq (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    Count de Monet...

  15. Yes, we need protection from all malicious actors, not just the script kiddies.

  16. When law enforcement acts maliciously we need to protect ourselves, but maybe that goes too far over your head for you to understand.

  17. It won't stop a warrant or a subpoena...

  18. Re:Boeing or not going on Flying Car Prototype Ready By End of 2017, Says Airbus CEO (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Cities where the added noise pollution might not be noticed all that much.

    Take another look at the picture. Those tiny little fans will drown out the gunfire.

  19. Once a twerp, always a twerp

  20. fewer practical vectors for open code on Will The Death of the PC Bring 'An End To Openness'? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, that is the goal, isn't it? Keeps power out of the 'wrong hands'.

  21. Heavy-handed over-reaction. 10 years?!

    It has great propaganda value.

    The FBI/DEA/DHS/etc would love to hire him, but he wasn't smart enough to evade capture

  22. "I feared no one would care. I was wrong." on Petition With Over 1 Million Signatures Urges President Obama To Pardon Snowden (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    He needs at least 60 million people who care to affect the outcome. 1 million is just noise to politicians who serve their financiers and still win the vote.

  23. Still going to be the perverted twerp, eh? Appeal to authority and making excuses for one and ad hominems for the other. Oh well, at least people get a glimpse of the true you this way.

  24. Hot flaming perfume, ignited by the iPhone, dripping behind the instrument panel.

    How's that for bad haiku?

  25. Exactly. Denying there's a backdoor while acknowledging there is a backdoor, but they *promise* not to use it.. Hardly reassuring, and a pretty lousy rebuttal.
