  1. Better Talk from the NCWIT conference on Chelsea Clinton At NCWIT: More PE, Less Zuckerberg · · Score: 1

    Don't let Chelsea's out of touch talk throw off your opinion of NCWIT. Here is what probably should have made slashdot from conference: http://www.ncwit.org/video/201...

  2. Because of Google Play Store on Why Does Amazon Want To Sell Its Own Smartphone, Anyway · · Score: 1

    I cannot stream Amazon Prime on any of my devices without having to side load Amazon Prime Video. That is 20 mil (in US) devices Amazon is not actively on right now.

  3. Re:Did this really happen? on Inside the Stolen Smartphone Black Market In London · · Score: 1

    The point is that they performed illegal actions to generate a story. They did not find a story, they are the story.

  4. Re:Did this really happen? on Inside the Stolen Smartphone Black Market In London · · Score: 1

    in 2009 the BBC paid a call center worker, who was assigned to the US, to take 3 calls for the UK queue and write down the callers CC number. The three callers were working for the BBC. They then published a story that "you cannot trust call centers in India", because they will take your number, and they pulled in the three "victims" to say on camera that they were appalled.

  5. Did this really happen? on Inside the Stolen Smartphone Black Market In London · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    BBC has been known to have a fake player x and fake player y to create a story. So formula goes: Player X contact Player Y to do something illegal-> Player Y agrees to do something illegal + adds good sound bite -> BBC only reports from Player X point of view and uses "sound bite" to make Player Y, as representative industry,which now look deplorable to the common reader. Thus, this report should be taken with a grain of salt.

  7. Re:What did you expect? on 'Obnoxious' RSA Protests, RSA Remains Mum · · Score: 1

    Did you RTFA? They only turned away people who PAID to be at the conference. "Expo Only" passes, I.e. plain old tech people, were allowed access. It is also worth noting that you are attempting to claim something as a "tech conference" and blatantly ignoring fact that it is a SECURITY CONFERENCE. How many free lunches has RSA given you? is probably a better question, seeing all of your pro-rsa talk on these topic.

  8. Re:What lie? on 'Obnoxious' RSA Protests, RSA Remains Mum · · Score: 1

    This argument is very valid when you consider RSA is not directly in the encryption business, they only repackage other peoples ciphers, and have no one on staff who could verify anything. Oh wait...

  9. Lots of options! on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Manage Your Passwords? · · Score: 1

    http://www.quest.com/privilege... http://www.liebsoft.com/ http://www.thycotic.com/produc... All of these support multi-user / groups of users access. That is what you actually want. And yes, they cost money, but if you are in IT and need password management, and don't want to pay any money, find a better employer!
