  1. It's basically an advert for the guy's book. He's probably right, though.

    It's OK my sig is also a lie.

    Another guy likes to go onto porn sites, told him to use RedTube instead if he really needs to see boobs bouncing.

    That's fucking weird.

    In what sense is 'redtube' not a porn site?

  4. There's no doubt you get a certain security through obscurity from using such an unfashionable OS. Following your logic though, your should probably be on BeOS or TempleOS.

    Does mayo work? Asking for a friend.

    Mayo is made from eggs, vinegar, salt and lemon juice. Do not put this on your dick, you'll give yourself a yeast or bacterial infection which could even make its way into your bladder.

    That digressed quickly.

    None of them were Linux companies.

    All of them own or lease structures featuring at least one SINK. Join the dots people.

    This isn't anti-virus. So not really that great an example of anti-virus being anything.

    Go back to reddit and rant about foreigners, moron.

    Funny, I see a LOT more ranting about foreigners on slashdot.

    I suspect your assertion that corporations mainly use old 32 bit computers is largely bollocks. It's 2017.

    Russia are engaged in low-intensity warfare with the US. They're funding and inciting extremes at both ends of the political spectrum. It's working a treat, and the President can't get his tongue far enough up Dear Leader Vlad's ass.

    I fully expect them to be behind both this and Equifax, and numerous others. And you can be sure that whoever challenges Trump in 3 years will have plenty of relevatory 'hacks' at inconvenient times, right on schedule.

    A fucking pathetic effort, to be honest.

    Sorry, but most people who are aware of Trump's unlimited limitations would agree that this comment is a bucket of shit written by an idiot.

    an algorithm with a novel quantum solution, or some other machine that the NSA already has functioning, would make any "version" of the techniques just as susceptible to cracking.

    perhaps the quantum machine is actually made easier as the encryption becomes "more powerful".

    you're all idiots.

    Gotta love the guy who comes out with a load of fucking gibberish and proceeds to call everybody else idiots.

    NASA has credibility mate - you, a shit-talking dumbass AC on slashdot, don't. Remember that when you're telling people who to trust.

    Now, I know what you're about to say: "That's a bit of a stretch Squiggie, I mean, it's probably just a coincidence."

    Close. It's actually a big pile of bollocks. There are lots of opinions flying around about strong AI right now. It's a good time to have the conversation because it's still a good way off.

    If it does get created, you don't want Dear Leader Putin to have it first. Seriously.

    There are a lot of weird laws in England that relate to ownership and rights relating to various tiny sections of land.

    Events in the article take place in Scotland, which is clearly pointed out on numerous occasions, and it's also pointed out more than once than in Scotland you are allowed to be in people's fields. Other than that, 10/10 comment.
