  1. Re:Chimp interview ... on Update: No Personhood for Chimps Yet · · Score: 1

    And what's the legal age of consent for a corporation? Have you ever seen a corporation get arrested, go to jail or be given the death penalty?

  2. Re:Isn't weird? on Tor Is Building the Next Generation Dark Net With Funding From DARPA · · Score: 1

    It was started by the military so that people trying to overthrow oppressive governments have a tool they can use.

  3. Re:Isn't weird? on Tor Is Building the Next Generation Dark Net With Funding From DARPA · · Score: 1

    How the hell is it "selling out" when TOR was *STARTED* by the military?

  4. Obviously Blackberry on Broken Beer Bottle Battle In Debate Over Merits of Android Over iPhone · · Score: 1

    Since anyone using it would be embarrassed to admit it, there won't be any fights over it...

  5. Re:im sure it took a few tries. on D-Link Apologizes For Router Security · · Score: 2

    The NO CARRIER jokes were funny when triggered by +++ATH0+++

  6. Re:I choose MS SQL Server on Why I Choose PostgreSQL Over MySQL/MariaDB · · Score: 1

    Umm, isn't the point of a "SQL" database, SQL? What sort of client libraries do you need such that something like postgres is not able to support you?

  7. Re:Apple does not obfuscate transaction info on Fraud Rampant In Apple Pay · · Score: 1

    Come on, random haters gotta hate. They don't have to care or know how things actually work. They just need to throw up something that sounds sorta, maybe, plausible, and hates on.

  8. Re:Missing the boat on smartphones? on BlackBerry's Latest Experiment: a $2,300 'Secure' Tablet · · Score: 1

    So it's their fault?

  9. Re:Missing the boat on smartphones? on BlackBerry's Latest Experiment: a $2,300 'Secure' Tablet · · Score: 1

    I've never seen Apple claim to have invented the smartphone. You have a citation?

    Please stop trying to make sense on the Internet.

    Uh, you realize that it's simple to download and do a mass deployment internally right?

  12. Do you have funding? on Ask Slashdot - Breaking Into Penetration Testing At 30 · · Score: 2

    If you do, take SANS 560. It's a good start, helps provide a framework, and fills in gaps in your knowledge.

    If you don't have funding, why bother (for your company - since you'll be making them more money).

    However, I'd recommend doing it on your own - learning is always good. But if your company won't fund your education, you shouldn't put in all that work to do it for them. If they will let you learn on company time, then, that's a different discussion (but that means part of your 40 hours will be dedicated to learning and breaking shit). And it will take months to get up to speed, since you won't have a mentor to help point things out to you.

    Ethical Hacker and all those other cheap certs are worthless. Books can be useful, but again, sometimes you need someone to point out the pitfalls, etc.

  13. Device Protection work with jailbroken/rooted? on Google Announces Android 5.1 · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know if Device Protection can work with rooted phones or jailbroken ones?

    Or rather, if you set Device Protection on it, and "lost your password", can you root it and use it by installing another rom?

  14. Re:What's TSYNC ? on Google Chrome Requires TSYNC Support Under Linux · · Score: 1

    No, because Ian's vocal opposition to systemd got it in anyway. So it's not like vocal opposition can stop things from happening if enough people want it.

    Oh, look, another shill, no wonder posting as anonymous. Idiot.

    Which level of Hell is Sony in for not knowing that a company they bought 6 months had distributed the rootkit (prior to Sony buying them)?

    So, if a neighbor is caught sleeping with your spouse, and promises to stop, it is now OK?

    I'd rather have neighbors and spouses that don't do that.

  19. Where's the damned accountability? on Lenovo To Wipe Superfish Off PCs · · Score: 2

    No, this is not enough. Where is the fucking accountability? The person who proposed this needs to be named, and fired, and any bonuses paid for this need to be taken back.

    You are only sorry you got caught with your hands in the cookie jar.

    This type of shitty nonsense have been going on for years, and I'm surprised that both Microsoft *AND* Windows users just tolerate it.

    *WHY?*

    Because you're a fucking idiot? Who did you think worked on WebKit? They also wrote Grand Central Dispatch and released it as open source. They bought CUPS and continued its development. They even contributed to USB3 - Apple was the largest corporate contributor to USB3 outside of Intel - this is why you have the reversible connector for USB3.1.

    Slashdot already covered the hacking your TV through the TV signal previously. Tell me you are going to block TV signals as well (OTA, cable box, etc)?

  24. Re:How do you fully prevent hacking? on Report: Automakers Fail To Fully Protect Against Hacking · · Score: 1

    No we don't. We have armies of wannabes saying they are working on this. But I guarantee you most of them have no clue. I get stupid questions like "why is not having a password insecure?" to "must I patch?" to "but it's not on the internet" to all kinds of nonsense.

    I guarantee you there wasn't anyone security related, whose sole function was security, working on these things, because they are unencrypted and have been for years.
