  1. The gunshot you just heard on CNN Plans To Offer Subscriptions for Digital News Next Year (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    ...Was CNN shooting themselves in the foot. Again. Either use a bigger gun, or aim higher. Put yourself out of our misery.

  2. Can you spell s i g n a l i n t e r c e p t? There is no "perfect" security platform. From Murphy's Laws of Combat. "If the Enemy can't get in, you can't get out." The ONLY way to keep a password, of any type, secure is to never use it. Copied data files, intercepted cell traffic, phishing, or some one writing down a pass phrase. And if it looks like perfect security from your end, it still has to sit on some one's server. Just like a lock on a door shows an honest man his limits and keeps out the lazy, stupid, and unmotivated, if some one wants your data badly enough and is smart they will get it.

  3. Re:"Why be selective about who gets it first"? on Apple Limits Lengthy iPhone X Testing for Most Reviewers (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    I love how you said "mind", like it meant something.

  4. Re:Timmah was quakin' in his boots on Apple Limits Lengthy iPhone X Testing for Most Reviewers (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Butthurt Apple fanboi detected! Needs moar salt!

  5. The "You are not spending enough money on pointless solution problem." That way, our corporate overlords can sell us a "security solution" at the front door, and any one with enough money can rent the bypass out the back. Mo Money, Mo Money!

  6. "Own best interest" means "voting for some one who called me a deplorable human, and sold missle technology to China." Right....Keep thinking that, Champ. And no, my opinion doesn't change. And thanks for proving my point!

  7. When a person shows up to vote, require a state issued photo id and voter card. Run the id. Comes back good, let the vote count. Doesn't, well, the nice officer over there would like to talk to you. Simple and easy. No racial profiling. Massive drop in voter fraud. Which is why it'll never happen.

  8. Oh Nos! All those Special Snowflakes who can't make their own decisions saw Bad Things! We must Reeducate them! Get the accounts list from Faceplant and start up the trucks! Seriously? If you're the kind of person who votes based on political ads, would you please STOP VOTING!? Democracy needs a well educated, involved voter base to work. It's a given that neither side WANTS a well-educated voter base, but surely adults (that want to) can find out things for themselves? Even biased news, once the amount and direction of the lean can be determined, can be informative. But, hey...obviously cat videos and get rich quick schemes have a higher priority over figuring out who to vote for. Scotty, beam me up. There's no intelligent life here.

  9. I've Heard This Before on Can Science Make Alcohol Safer? (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone remember "safer guns and safer bullets?" Sounds just as "smart."

  10. You aren't the target, either for "fake news" or the proposed "solution." The self-centered snowflakes who can't make up their minds what to have for dinner, without checking on social media, are. Sad part is, these people vote and have children. Those who have a spine, two operating brain cells, and realize other people are not just in our heads, know to fact check and avoid known bad actors. Y'know, the kind of people getting kinda hard to find nowadays. Chill out, just sit back and watch the world burn.

  11. Re:Bad at problem solving on San Francisco Just Took a Huge Step Toward Internet Utopia (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin mining by IoT bots? Massive torrent hosts? Goatse sent to all politicians?

  12. Window lickers. The whoe lot. on San Francisco Just Took a Huge Step Toward Internet Utopia (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    ...And the cost to own or rent in Sin City West just shot up. Again.

  13. Re:As long as you avoid perishables this a solutio on Amazon Key Puts Deliveries -- And Delivery People -- In Your Home (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    With this as an option, Amazon just looks like a creepy stalker ex. "C'mon, just let me in, okay?" Save money, don't take the risk of getting a shocking suprise when you get home (delivery driver's friends.)

  14. Re:Get out the flamethrowers on Twitter Plans To End Revenge Porn Next Week, Hate Speech In Two (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Thank you for proving my point.

  15. When princes misbehave on Why Are We Still Using Passwords? (securityledger.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure, it's easy to say that passwords are a bad security method. But, it's like saying we need a better lock, when the walls are so thin bad guys just walk right through. Set the system up right, maintain it, and change when needed. At that point, the damage from easily guessed passwords is minimal.

  16. Get out the flamethrowers on Twitter Plans To End Revenge Porn Next Week, Hate Speech In Two (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    "It's all right to punch a nazi." What. The. Hell? Did all you mouth breathing ignorant sisterfuckers sleep ALL the way through History class? Or is it true that the Constitution is a dead letter? Go back and READ (not just believe what some libtard told you) about the American Revolution and why the First Amendment was so important. And then go and READ the First Amendment. Nowhere does it say that "free speech is only for people we agree with." Or "if I disagree with you I can punch you in the mouth." And, if Nazis REALLY need punching, what gives you the right to take a swing!? Do you truly believe that you have some God-given right to cesnsure what other people can hear? Seriously? Because I know which side says we're all to stupid to run our own lives. If you really want to "fight nazis," the way is simple...make sure everyone hears them. Modern nazis are so far from what they claim as their roots to be laughable. Antifa is nothing more than a group of hired thugs. Look into their history. I know the people who disagree with me won't do any of their own research. They'll just wait for the CNN download, straight to the cortex (what little they have.) Freedom only works, if it's for everyone. Especially the ones we don't agree with and wish would just shut up.

  17. Wha? on Tim Cook Confirms the Mac Mini Isn't Dead (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple makes desktops!? I thought they were a phone company!/s

  18. Re:Embrace it on Body Camera Giant Wants Police To Collect Your Videos Too (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Wish I had mod points.

  19. Unable to use on Body Camera Giant Wants Police To Collect Your Videos Too (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Video from the public? And a truly awe-inspiring amount of cheap and easy to use video editors? What could possibly go wrong?

  20. Why is this even a feature? if I put it on my device, I likely know the artist and album. If it's playing from an online service, they know the album and artist. Or, is having the microphone on all the time the real feature?

  21. Re:Reality Disfunction on Senators Announce New Bill That Would Regulate Online Political Ads (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    What color is the sky in your world?

  22. Simple, and won't happen on Ask Slashdot: What Are Ways To Get Companies To Actually Focus On Security? · · Score: 1

    Make them financially responsible. Your lack of security cost your customers x amount of money, pay 1.5x as a fine. Customers get their money, government gets the .5, companies know what will happen if they get careless, or stop paying attention. Companies want the same rights as individuals, make them take the same responsibilities.

  23. And the right to arm bears?

  24. Mod +2 (Humor), -2 (Headsplosion due to spelling)
