  1. Re:IANAL - but read this: on School Tricks Pupils Into Installing a Root CA · · Score: 1

    This is widely practiced in the US, I don't see where you are going with this. It is their network, they can do as they please. You installed the software, it's not like they hacked you and installed their CA.

  2. Re:yeah. on School Tricks Pupils Into Installing a Root CA · · Score: 1

    I have no way of knowing, but I can imagine they disclosed it in the agreement that no one ever reads.

  3. Re:Probably not Illegal. on School Tricks Pupils Into Installing a Root CA · · Score: 1

    I think it depends on where you are from. Here in the US this is widely practiced by all sorts of places like work, school, etc.

    Installing the CA's is sketchy, but the users probably didn't read the fine print. Intercepting the traffic is business as usual.

    Do you know what a CA is? Once they leave the network, the school isn't able to decrypt SSL traffic.

  5. Re:why not tie to phone numbers that RS asks for on The Emerging RadioShack/Netflix Debacle · · Score: 1

    Not you per se. I just mean that if a customer is being that much of an asshole that the employee is going to walk out on his job, he should punch the person in the face because it would make the situation better.

    I am sure the people at Canonical are going to be happy to hear that one of their employees is running a news aggregation site aimed with such a strong moral compass.

  7. Re:Bullshit reporting on Should Newsweek Have Outed Satoshi Nakamoto's Personal Details? · · Score: 1

    Your argument would be more believable if this guy claimed to be the real deal, and the known legit twitter account outed him as a liar. For him to deny it, and his twitter account to also deny it doesn't prove anything.

  9. Re:Shazbot! on Vast Surveillance Network Powered By Repo Men · · Score: 1

    How often do you put a cover on your car when parking on the street?

  10. Re:Not MITM on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Employer Perform HTTPS MITM Attacks On Employees? · · Score: 1

    A client does not need to be compromised for a MITM attack to work, I have no idea where you would get such an idea. MITM attacks are network based, and have absolutely nothing to do with the client being compromised.

  11. Re:Yes they did. on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Employer Perform HTTPS MITM Attacks On Employees? · · Score: 1

    Would Joe not be responsible, as he is the end user who accepted the TOS and is the one disclosing the private information to the company?

  12. Re:Kinda funny on Free (Gratis) Version of Windows Could Be a Reality Soon · · Score: 2

    You'd be surprised these days. I took the risk with Ubuntu 13.10, and was quite pleased when everything worked out of the box, flash and all.

  13. Re:But ... FREEDOM! on WV Senator Calls For Ban On All Unregulated Cryptocurrencies · · Score: 1

    Three days to code a PHP implementation of SSHD? Sounds pretty impressive to me.

  14. Re:Obsolete on ICANN Considers Using '127.0.53.53' To Tackle DNS Namespace Collisions · · Score: 2

    Maybe we should start hiding math equations in IPv4 addresses since they use numbers.

  15. Re:Those wondering why 53.53 on ICANN Considers Using '127.0.53.53' To Tackle DNS Namespace Collisions · · Score: 3, Funny

    What about those of us just wondering Why?

  16. ICANN will probably release the TLD .0 soon.

  17. Re:Debacle? on The Emerging RadioShack/Netflix Debacle · · Score: 1

    They offered 6 months, not 1 month.

    I hope they punch you in the face right before they walk out.

  19. Re:Posting anonymously for obvious reasons... on Target's Internal Security Team Warned Management · · Score: 3, Informative

    The point in changing passwords isn't to change user behavior. It is to ensure that any leaked credentials do not stay valid indefinitely.

  20. Re:Sounds a lot like the slahshdot beta reviews on DDoS Larger Than the Spamhaus Attack Strikes US and Europe · · Score: 1

    I think you may be off base here. My guess is that the vast majority of users don't care about your little campaign to ruin slashdot. I will keep modding as troll so long as I have mod points.

  21. Re:The GPL is like the Slashdot Beta: Unwanted! on LLVM & GCC Compiler Developers To Begin Collaborating · · Score: 1

    comparing BSD license to child slavery seems like a fair comparison

  22. Re:Not with a bang, but with a beta. on Bitcoin Plunges After Mt. Gox Exchange Halts Trades · · Score: 2

    The people on Slashdot complaining about the new design are the same folks in IT who are scared to learn new technologies. Adapt or get left behind. There is nothing wrong with the new design, you are just scared of change. Look inwards for a fix.

  23. Re:But Kansas! on Kansas To Nix Expansion of Google Fiber and Municipal Broadband · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure that if Verizon installed fiber to your neighborhood, they would not just abandon it when a competitor came to town.

  24. Re:Who is better: IntelCrawler or NSA? on Analyst Calls Russian Teen Author of Target Malware · · Score: 1

    How exactly do you know what the NSA is and is not doing? I get it, we gotta trash talk the NSA in every /. post.... Even if that means making wild assumptions about things we don't know anything about.

  25. Re:legitimizing? on US Government To Convert Silk Road Bitcoins To USD · · Score: 1

    Has anyone argued against their value? It is quite easy to see what they are worth.... I think peoples main argument is that they are not widely accepted for commerce.
