  1. Link with leaks on One Million IP Addresses Used In Brute-Force Attack On A Bank (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    How documented is the link with MySpace, LinkedIn, Tumblr, and VK.com leaks? It is in Slashdot summary but not in referenced articles at Akamai and Softpedia.

  2. Well, even if it miss some troublesome persons, I assume background checks are still about to point some. Do we have statistics?

  3. Cost on Hackers Find 138 Different Security Gaps In Pentagon Websites (go.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The experiment cost $150,000, and about half of it was paid to the hackers as bounties

    Where did the other 75 kUSD half go? Paid to a contractor for creating the vulnerability report web form?

  4. Class warfare on LG Sells Mosquito-Repelling TV In India (technobuffalo.com) · · Score: 1

    We once used smart way of reducing mosquitoes population, such as releasing huge batch of infertile males

    Now the TV approach is quite odd. If you can afford a TV, your mosquitoes will fly away - to the home of the one that cannot afford a TV. This is class warfare bumped to the biological weapon level.

  5. The inventor of the robot cart has lost its child's mind a long time ago. Don't you remember how fun it was to push a cart?

  6. Re:Drupal on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best CMS? · · Score: 1

    That said, Drupal is the best CMS right now, and it's doing work to stay in that role for a long time to come.

    It is the best CMS until you have to upgrade it. Then it oddly turns into the worst one.

  7. EU Commission warning on Uber Banned in Germany and France, and Faces Lawsuits in Multiple States (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    It is nice to see France and Germany courts standing by their opinions, after EU commission warned them against banning Uber.

    It was obvious intimidation tactics by EU commission, and now the EU court of justice will have to settle the thing.

  8. I could have told Apple that tee-shirts were bad authentication credentials.

  9. UAE had presence in outer space for 30 years on NASA And The UAE Will Collaborate On A Journey To Mars (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Summary and TFA says "UAE has had a small "presence" in outer space for about 30 years". The source is a link to spacesafetymagazine.com, which tells about the UAE first satellite launched in 2009, which does not make 30 years.

    Same article notes UAE space agency was created in the 1990s, hence we should probably read "UAE has been engaging space activities for 30 years".

  10. Nuke any country on What Star Trek Owes To Robert Heinlein · · Score: 1

    to nuke any country that has been tempted to go to war with its neighbors.

    So if we have some despotic power that deny democracy to its population and starts a war, the idea is to nuke the population while its leader hides in its bunker. That looks smart, but I am certain a 6 years old children would have drafter a less stupid scenario.

  11. Re:TPP (and TTIP) read by who? on Google Announces Support of the Controversial TPP (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    So how are most of Europe's politicians, ESPECIALLY the UK, in favour of signing TTIP?

    This is why imperialism is the smarter ay of dominating other countries: it corrupts politician minds, and nothing more is required.

  12. Content-Security-Policy on jQuery 3.0 Stops Supporting Internet Explorer Workarounds (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Will newer version allow use of Content-Security-Policy without script-src unsafe-eval ?

  13. Judge Daniele Tremblay-Lamer's name makes a good pun in french: Judge Daniele "shake the sea"

  14. Through one of the vendor's other clients on uTorrent Forums Hacked, Passwords Compromised (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    The say they were compromised "through one of the vendor's other clients". Time to talk about could security?

  15. How much shares? on T-Mobile Is Giving Customers Stock In the Company (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    What percentage of the company will be given to customers? Would organized customers be able to take over the company management?

  16. Use a sentence. This is easier to remember and way much longer than random-characters. For improved security against dictionary attacks, you can add typos.

    Example: "Little pyg, little pig, let me in!"

  17. Re:"We can do that - but it would be wrong." on Facebook Says It's Not Secretly Recording You (fb.com) · · Score: 2

    if you've explicitly granted permission for Facebook to record audio from your device, at any time, without notification -- in what sense would it be "illegal" for them to do so?

    The idea is that no contract can be against the law. But the point assumes there is a law against recording you, and I do not see which one it is.

  18. Well, in representative democracy, the Sovereign People will is still supposed to be expressed during elections. If we have to choose between candidates that share the same opinions, that does not happen.

  19. Human Right Watchdog on UK Risks Over-Blocking Content Online, Warns Human Rights Watchdog (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Calling the Council of Europe a Human Right Watchdog sounds odd

    The later term is usually used for Non Governmental Organizations, and Council of Europe is an International Organization, which stems from an international treaty the UK has signed.

    That makes me wonder whether brexit is only about exiting European Union, or if Council of Europe and its Europe Human Rights Court is also in the balance.

  20. While I support the policy, I dislike the approach.

    Democracy is when the Sovereign People makes choices, not when politicians agree in their back and offer no political choices. Such long term policy could have been settled by a referendum

  21. Once there will only be a single human to supervise robots, strikes will become effective again. A single man will lock out the whole company.

  22. Fake negative on Code Quality Predicted Using Biometrics (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    I have the feeling that most bugs are produced by developers that overlook usual problems: not validating inputs is the best example. This is a well known problem, but it sill happens.

    In such a case, the problem is that the developer just does not care. He/she will happily split bad code without altering any biometric signature.

  23. Removal on Ransomware Adds DDoS Attacks To Annoy More People (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    One can pay to get encrypted files back. But one still have the DDoS component. When will it be possible to pay for the malware being removed?

  24. Limits on Attackers Steal $12.7M In Massive ATM Heist (mainichi.jp) · · Score: 1

    I wonder why it did not hit any overdraft limit at the stolen account.

  25. Re:Encourage companies on A Third Of Cash Is Held By 5 US Tech Companies (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    If your argument is to have the West work more like China

    I wonder how you could read my comment that way. I just gave you China as an example of a country that operates within global market without allowing free capital movement at its borders. Japan is another good example, if you prefer.
