  1. Linux with telemetry on Microsoft Releases New Tool To Get More Distros on Windows (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Telemetry, that's what is missing on a pure distro. I definitely feel safer if I know that there is a bigger entity that control my system and that can upgrade it without my saying anytime for my safety. Finally a Linux with advertising in the main menu....

  2. Re:this is why... on Leaked Files Show How the NSA Tracks Other Countries' Hackers (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have governments that are less obsessed with weapons of mass destruction and that are looking to reduce their stockpile. That would give me more trust. I do not think that there is really anyone that is enough "qualified" to be in charged of such powerful monstrosity. Especially the ones currently in charge.

  3. Re:this is why... on Leaked Files Show How the NSA Tracks Other Countries' Hackers (theintercept.com) · · Score: 0

    You trust your government with nukes ?!?! I guess coming from the only country in the world who ever nuked another one , it might make sense to you.
    Also for regulations; I do not now if you follow the news but your current government is working very hard to deregulate a lot of things. But do not wonder about what I mean just stay in your "trust" comfort zone ; everything will be fine.

    I would leave it at : "governments can't be trusted"

  5. Moved to Affinity. on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On Forced Subscription-Only Software? · · Score: 1

    This is the reason that I moved to Affinity designer and photo. Reasonable price and it won't stop working suddenly if you don't pay.
    I hate the subscription model. I understand why they do it, but as a dissatisfied customer my only voice possible is to buy alternatives.
    Affinity Photo is one of the best selling app in the Mac Store and I am sure that this is not estrange to the Adobe new model.

  6. Re:Snake Oil?!? on Cisco Can Now Sniff Out Malware Inside Encrypted Traffic (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I agree with you; if there is recognizable patterns, that means that current encryption methods are not strong enough....

  7. Will it include a retro version of Superfish?

  8. Evolution is just a theory..... ;-)

  9. Re:At least he can admit it on The Man Who Wrote the Password Rules Regrets Doing So (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    What we do at work when a password change is required, we change it five times in a row and end up with the original one which is then accepted.

    I have the same password since three years.

  10. Free to Make on Slashdot Asks: What Books Are You Reading This Month? · · Score: 1

    Pretty good so far; if you are interested by the maker movement.
    https://www.makershed.com/prod...

  11. It should include a little dose of cyanide to enforce a non-disclosure agreement clause in case of termination.

  12. Swift or Obj-C ? on An 81-Year-Old Woman Just Created Her Own iPhone App (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    If Objective-C ; did she use ARC or she went old school manual reference counting...... If she didn't use arc, she's a hardcore granny. Respect.

  13. Am I the only one that get scared with that stuff ? I must be getting too old. I used to think that S. Hawking was an alarmist when he said that AI might end mankind... Not so much anymore.
