  1. Until protected by law, encrypt older emails. on IRS Can Read Your Email Without Warrant · · Score: 2

    Just a little googling and I found: IMAPCrypt

    Looks like a decent utility to automate running daily... it will go through and encrypt (via PGP), emails over any age you specify.

    Then when they go in, tada. Encrypted! Now they have to go request the backups, if there were any going that far back.

    Another option would be a script or filter that moves everything to your local folders at home.

  2. Glad there are 2 lessons to this story. on SendGrid Fires Employee After Firestorm Over Inappropriate Jokes · · Score: 1

    1) Be appropriate when on the clock, and...
    2) Twitter / Facebook / Social Media shaming is a childish act.

    The guy should have been respectful and appropriate, not made the comments.

    But sorry, she's just as bad here. She could have spoken to them, or gone and told a representative directly to have them dealt with. But publicly shaming them, with photos, while *she* was on the clock, too... Not appropriate either.

    Sorry lady, two wrongs do not make a right. Shouldn't have shamed them on twitter in the first place, and certainly not done so on the job.

  4. Suggestions: on Australian Spy Agency Seeks Permission To Hack Third-Party Computers · · Score: 4, Informative

    * Run a BSD or Linux system. - Secure it. If you don't know how to do this, do your home work.
    * Use a snapshot capable filesystem, and take snapshots (ZFS / BTRFS). - You can use these to identify file that have changed.
    * Use Tripwire or a clone like AIDE. - This is a second level of checking for file changes.
    * Manually audit your system regularly.
    * Use OS repositories from outside Australia.

    And the list would not end there.

  5. What if these guards were on their map / list? on Newspaper That Published Gun-Owners List Hires Armed Guards · · Score: 2

    Did they check to see if any of these armed guards were folks they'd outed with their map of addresses? Don't want any of the people you victimized being your protector...

  6. Home addresses of these naughty reporters: on Newspaper That Published Gun-Owners List Hires Armed Guards · · Score: 1
    Guards at work, good idea. But what about all their home addresses that have been uncovered in response?

    The author of the article actually removed himself from the list. So yes.

  9. Try fmylife on Ask Slashdot: Undoing an Internet Smear Campaign? · · Score: 1

    This really should have been posted on FML, not Slashdot.

  10. Barney had this first... on LG's 84-inch 3840 x 2160 Television Doesn't Come Cheap: $17,000 · · Score: 1

    Lilly: It burns my eyes.
    Barney: Yeah. That never goes away.

  11. Nope. Not from that app store. on And Now, the Cartoon News · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd prefer to read it on my Linux PC, Windows PC, Android phone, and even yes... my Mac laptop. But never if it comes through their app store and it's apps.

  12. Programmable license plates. Finally! on Buttons That Morph Out of Your Touchscreen · · Score: 1

    Maybe now we can have realistic looking morphing license plates.

    Let those red light cameras, meter maids, and automated license plate readers be damned.

  13. Sony Fails... on Sony Projects Record Losses of $6.4 Billion · · Score: 1

  14. What's it going to take? on BT Ordered To Block Usenet Binaries Index · · Score: 1

    I have nothing constructive I can say that won't get me locked up for life.

    Yes! I was thinking when I read the OP was, "Oh shut the f*ck up and bring me my coffee!"

    Scripting in VB still doesn't make you a programmer. :P

  19. Cable TV is out dated. on Ask Slashdot: Are You Streaming-Only For Home Entertainment? · · Score: 1

    Between Hulu, Netflix, and specific news/sports/comedy sites, I get just about everything I want without the cable TV bill. Anything else I can download from [not sayin]. I'm on a business level account with Comcast, so I never hit any bandwidth caps, and I download and stream a ton. Use a particular VOIP provider for phone, too. So all I need is my Internet. Depending on if the kid has the TV in use or not, I can watch content with my HD Live, Xbox, or go to my room and watch everything on my big monitor on the PC. With this setup, I regularly watch: House Big Bang Theory How I Met Your Mother Smallville Craig Ferguson Bleach (Subbed) The Daily Show Plus all those old shows I go back and re-watch. and more... Oh yeah, and movies, too!

  20. Re:Nether kinda on Ask Slashdot: Are You Streaming-Only For Home Entertainment? · · Score: 3, Funny

    My girlfriend lives in Canada, so I set her up with a Tomato-USB based router, got her a cheap OpenVPN service from the United States, and now her entire NAT is all sharing a US based IP. Works like a charm. Hulu, Netflix, Comedy Central, Pandora, etc etc all work great for all the devices in the apartment, even the iPhone and Android. I highly recommend this setup... Plus, the router has USB, so it serves as a cheap NAS and wireless print server, too.

  21. That's because it still blocks content. on Flash On Android Fails To Impress · · Score: 1

    The entire reason I wanted flash on my phone was to be able to watch Hulu at the gym while on the treadmill. But surprise! They enabled Hulu to selectively choose which Flash clients to allow... and they chose not to allow phones. Typical ass hat maneuver. Why should it matter if it's my PC or my phone? I already had a Youtube app... so without Hulu, what's the point?

  23. Re:No stickers in the UK on Road Rage Linked To Automobile Bumper Stickers · · Score: 1

    I turn on my windshield spray and keep it on long enough for the tailgater to get their window quite wet. Most times they back off. Sometimes it takes two doses for them to realize it was on purpose, but then they get the hint and either back off or go around. In all my years of doing it, I've only had two reactions. One person passed me and did it back. The other was a motorcycle rider with no face mask or goggles, he flipped me off as he passed. Guess he didn't realize it was the only safe method I had to warn him he was risking his own life. I mean, you don't tailgate when you're riding a motorcycle, that's suicide! I know, I sometimes ride one myself. The only downsides are having to refill that reservoir more often, and it doesn't do anything to help you in the rain.
