    still better than not scanned.

  2. Re:Why "only"? on Google App Verification Service Detects Only 15% of Infected Apps · · Score: 1

    clamAV is a scanner, analysing files. the google service is afaik like a dns rbl ... it just checks for known bad hashes. Flip a bit, and it won't recognize the virus.

  3. Re:Unity on Ubuntu 13.04 Will Allow Instant Purchasing, Right From the Dash · · Score: 1

    but its still nothing, worth paying ubuntu for amazon-searches (which would just take place on the website, if there was no amazon-lense) and noise.

  4. Why "only"? on Google App Verification Service Detects Only 15% of Infected Apps · · Score: 1

    It detects 15% of malicious apps, which would otherwise go undetected. Thats better than not having this service.

  5. Re:Unity on Ubuntu 13.04 Will Allow Instant Purchasing, Right From the Dash · · Score: 1

    why should amazon pay for this? IF the search is intended, it would be made on the amazon website, if there was no unity dash. And if its unintended, stuff like "gnome-terminal" is only noise for amazon.

    and where should they profit from? They search online, to make you buy something. not for the sake of searching itself.

  8. Re:Why do we need a desktop client? on Ask Slashdot: Current State of Linux Email Clients? · · Score: 1

    no, its only your imap-client, which is confused. A e-mail is deleted, when you delete it. Even when it has 9000 labels.
    But a imap client is not aware of the label concept, and thinks there are serveral copies of the mail, so it does not instantly notice, that all copies are gone, when you delete one. So you would just need some protocol, which can offer label support instead of creating label-folders for the client.

  9. Re:Answered in reverse order on Ask Slashdot: Current State of Linux Email Clients? · · Score: 1

    do you know, some email clients even support threads? for example a mailing list is something you cannot display linearly.

  10. Re:German Privacy Laws on Facebook Sued Over App Center Data Sharing In Germany · · Score: 1

    there are quite different opinions and implementation for ip anonymization, but there is at least a law, which enabled your customers to demand that you inform them what data you save about them, and they can require you to delete it.
    Because of this, facebook eu is in ireland and not in more privacy friendly countries like germany.

    isn't youtube built in python?

  12. Re:That is why I supported fully static builds on Valve Begins Listing Linux Requirements For Certain Games On Steam · · Score: 1

    and a very unclean one. It would be like a postinst script, which means the files are still not tracked by dpkg.
    if its in the rules script, then it would mean, that you package your local files from pip, but do not use pip on the install-system, so nothing is gained.

  13. Re:LGPL is not viral ... on Valve Begins Listing Linux Requirements For Certain Games On Steam · · Score: 1

    are you sure? LGPL says, you need to redistribute the changes on the project itself. So its not "viral" when you link dynamically. But if you link statically, your project becomes part of the lib/the lib becomes part of the project, so its one project as result. Then you may be required to give access to the source.

  14. now amazon can close their datacentre in ireland on Researchers: PATRIOT Act Can 'Obtain' Data In Europe · · Score: 1

    because the main reason for servers there was, that most eu companys need to ensure, that their data is not accessed from countries without reasonable data privacy laws.
    But it will freshen the cloud market, because eu companies will get a bigger share, which will lead to more competition.

  15. Much of the socialweb is based on broken copyright on Orphaned Works and the Requirement To Preserve Metadata · · Score: 1

    Go, look at soup or tumblr. How many users have the right to distribute even 1% of their "stream"?

  16. Re:Too much metadata. on Orphaned Works and the Requirement To Preserve Metadata · · Score: 1

    no, in many cases such metadata would be good. if you show photos from some nice place, its a good feature, when the next user can just see the place on googlemaps. Who explicitly DOES NOT want it, can click the "strip place information" option.

  21. most pseudonyms are not sure to stay anonymous on Bluetooth Used To Track Traffic Times · · Score: 1

    there was this case, when aol released search data together with a pseudonymous user-id. Many people got uncloaked, because first they searched for their own name or some other identifiying information, then for something like sex toys.

    So the bluetooth-data isn't anonymous, too. Now they have the MAC and your traffic pattern, and when you have your device with you when you're alone somewhere i.e. in a police office, they may collect your MAC and connect it to your full name. When they later get access to the "anonymous" traffic database ... it isn't very anonymous anymore.

  22. oh, yet another javascript improvement on Firefox 18 Beta Out With IonMonkey JavaScript Engine · · Score: 1

    its not like javascript were the problem of any current browser, but all of them work on improving the js engines instead of taking a break from the x-th js improvement and build a better browser ui. For example mozilla should fix stuff like menubar, favicon, statusbar, ... all the "we need to look like chrome" stuff. hey, if i want something which looks like chrome, i use chrome. If there weren't all the extension fixing this crap, maybe i would be a chrome user for a long time, since firefox gave up its own identity and started to clone chrome.

    it IS a friend-to-friend network. a bit like freenet in the "darknet" mode.

    there are laws, which enforce the seperation of ads and content for redactional media. Maybe this does not apply on your blog, but some ad-supported newspaper-sites are bound by these rules.
