  1. Re:Hmmm... on ICANN's Plan To End Commercial Website Anonymity Creates Real Problems · · Score: 1

    There are two points in your post, but they are not related at all.

    1) ICANN destroys anonymity
    2) people can (sometimes) ruin you with rumors.

    But there is no reason, why a non-anonymous domain leads to false accusations.

    maybe the ".com" = US should shift to ".us" = US?

    of course they do like different agencies would like to have the internet.
    ICANN should be a organization of different countries of the world, who want to create a free internet.

    And Features like hello and pocket are IDEAL candidates for extensions. you can argument, if stuff like a social api should be an extenstion (then other extensions may need a dependency system), but hello can be packaged seperate without any problem. and preinstalled by default, if they want to, as long as i can disable it.

    is 31.x here and afaik built on the latest ESR release. you're using backports, that's a different deal (like ubuntu PPAs).
    And iirc backports have no guarantee for security patches, but just ship the new version (with new fixes and new bugs)

  7. Simple reason on Click-Fraud Trojan Politely Updates Flash On Compromised Computers · · Score: 1

    Current browser activate click-to-play for insecure flash versions. This prevents auto-clicking. So the trojan horse* need recent flash.

  8. real? on How To Design Robot Overlords For "Robot Overlords" · · Score: 1

    What makes a robot make look real?

    Maybe the fact, that there is no such thing in Reality like the typicial movie robot, so that they are free to do whatever they like?
    Okay, after some Movies came for example the ASIMO, which looks familiar with typical humanoid robots, but how does e.g. a terminator (after some skin was removed) look like a "real robot" or not?

    yes.

    It is in most countries that way.

  10. Google should not give in.
    The sites hosting the stories should.

    If somebody had his penalty and it ends, then he should have a chance again. If you do not think so, you should not wish him bad google hits, but wish for a law providing a longer penalty.

    downloading is always no problem, the redistribution of content is. So they have the problem. you still have it, if your client redistributed something. They might have legal backing by the labels, you do not.

  14. Re:Oh boy! on Firefox 39 Released, Bringing Security Improvements and Social Sharing · · Score: 1

    This is a feature, not a bug. Chrome uses system proxy, password manager, etc. This is why the chrome passwordmanager is more safe when a better passwordsafe (i.e. kwallet instead of windows' implementation) is used.

    Bullshit. SLAAC hands out public space most the time, sometimes private space. Link local is only the route to the gateway, which is intended that way.

  20. Forget Android on Ask Slashdot: Keeping Cloud Data Encrypted Without Cross-Platform Pain? · · Score: 1

    Mobile platforms are inherent insecure. Not only the OS is not designed to be secure (against what you're fearing), the manufacturers are not your friend (you already said "hello google"), but the apps are per default spyware as well. if you have installed a security framework, you will know, that 9/10 apps access data they do not need to function as very first action after being installed. Stuff like calendar, contacts, call log, android serial, active/installed apps ...
    So on a mobile device almost everything is your enemy. you do not want to access sensible data there.
