  2. Say what? on True Tales of (Mostly) White Hat Hacking · · Score: 1

    'I can't say I'm proud of all the things I did, but the stories speak for themselves.'"

    Not proud? I assume that means that you were not proud of watching porn with three other guys. I don't even want to know what you did that might make you feel not proud.

    But good going with the techniques you used to catch the bad guys,

    Spamming porn spammers, Web beacon stings with the FBI, luring a spy to a honeypot

  3. And who is to decide? on British Prime Minister Promises Default On Porn Blocking · · Score: 1

    I have a greater issue with 'almost' ( simulated ) sex on TV than I do with with full, hardcore sex. If you're going to start, then do it right. The fake humping is obviously fake and painful to watch.

    Yeah, like that's ever going to happen.

    In the mean-time, I'll just ask the little pre-teen wankers down the road to show me how to get to the good stuff. Wait a sec, wasn't all this to prevent them from getting to these sites?

    Where the heck do you get this information? Oh, that's right, out your *ss. If you move to another country, do not own any property here, and have paid up what you currently owe, you will not owe any taxes at the local, state or federal level. If you are eligible for Social Security, citizen or not, you can collect. You will have to pay federal taxes on that.

  5. There is a simple cure on When Metadata Analytics Goes Awry · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Stop using social media. Some of the crud I've seen on LinkedIn is as bad as Facebook and I do not want to be associated with it.

    Side Note: If you do use LinkedIn; it is not a dating site. Some of my female colleagues have started complaining about unwanted attention. Just because she met you at that training class last month, and accepted your connection, does not mean she is interested in 'knowing' you. Sheesh.

  6. Re:Be careful modifying documents on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Automatically Sanitize PDF Email Attachments? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I believe that for a PDF document to be a legal document, it needs to be in PDF/A format. This format prohibits the use executable code, such as Javascript.

    Actually, through to the early 80's. Hewlitt and Packard, the men, had a true sense of worth of their employees and treated them with respect. That was pretty much gone as the 80's rolled on. Packard was a changed man from his stint(s) in Washington. Then, of course, by the time Patricia Dunn was in charge, the company was a toilet. Pretexting, anyone? Yeah, sad.

    Been to station lately that still gives free air? $0.75 for just enough time to hit all four tires. Never noticed it until I went on a driving vacation last month. Good thing I have a compressor in the garage. Not free to operate, but certainly a lot less than a service station. BTW, never trust their gauge. An accurate one will run you about $10.

    US clouds cannot be trusted anymore.

    Quite correct. However, you can't trust clouds in any country, including the US. So what's your point?

    "Tech jobs disappear from America and wind up in China and India."

    And those two headlines will appear, separated by a few days, the day that tech workers unionize.

  16. Re:Faraday Cages don't stop people from talking on The Average Movie Theater Has Hundreds of Screens · · Score: 1

    Oddly, the only people I've heard talking in a movie theater these days, are doing so on their phone.

    And worse are the crying babies at a 9PM R rated movie. Hey, take that thing outside. I have two kids and never once took them out to a movie that wasn't for their sake. If you can't afford a sitter, then you certainly can't afford to go to the movies. Wait for it on DVD. Pirated or otherwise..

    Most of us still live in our Mother's basement.

    Some of us have actually gotten laid. While the rest do it playing a stimulator game.

    Kidding aside, try the government, in particular, the NSA. Or with the clearance you already had, I'd be surprised you if couldn't get a gig with a company doing military work.

  22. What about the next industry? on EFF Makes Formal Objection to DRM In HTML5 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is being done at the behest of the Entertainment Industry. What happens with the next industry that wants something added to a standard? Where does it end? I have no problem with Netflix, or some other entity, saying that "if you want to use our fee-based service you must use this." But I don't want these add-ons polluting a standard. This is what we have plug-ins for. If you don't like the plug-in, don't use it and don't bitch about not getting a fee-based service.

  23. Assembly on a Time Share System 36 on How Did You Learn How To Program? · · Score: 1

    It was 1972 and I was in the 8th grade. Our math teacher thought it would be fun as we flew through the course requirements.

    My first major project was in 1979 and I had to debug a stats suite written in Fortran. Translated that into BASIC for a Tektronic Graphing station and then again to BASICA for the PC.

    Does hard-wiring lab setups count? What language would that be?

    In grad school I used an old PDP8 to control the lab. ( Did anyone ever come across SKED? ) And by then, I was reading every computer book I could find.
