  1. At $10,000 per pound on Texas Sheriffs Crash $250k Drone They're Not Supposed To Be Flying · · Score: 0
    Maybe I should get out of my keylime investment.

    Someone is getting scammed, and it is you, the taxpayers.

  2. Re:On it! (link) on US and UK Governments Advise Avoiding Internet Explorer Until Bug Fixed · · Score: 1
    Mosaic Link

    Of course, it is a bit dated, and some of the bits may be rusty.

  3. Re:What would this ruling have changed, today? on SCOTUS Ends Novell's Anti-Trust Cast Against Microsoft · · Score: 1
    Accidental precedence or not accidental, it is clear that this SCOTUS does not really want to uphold any laws that they disagree with.

    It is a corrupt group, almost always by a 5-4 margin.

    Sherman Antitrust be damned, the fascists rule.

    In their mind, world control is all that matters.

  4. The exploit requires Flash on Microsoft Issues Advisory For Internet Explorer Vulnerability · · Score: 1
    Link

    I suspect this exploit has existed for many years now, probably used by NSA too.

    But his Billness said that IE is part of the OS!

    Funny by happenstance? Or Funny by design?

    Perhaps this is a ploy to drive sales of the garbage known as windows 8.

  7. Plenty of clues on Panel Says U.S. Not Ready For Inevitable Arctic Oil Spill · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Exxon Valdez

    Now, you extrapolate taking into consideration a more remote area with even worse access conditions, and the colder temperatures.

    An extreme environmental disaster will be the result.

  8. Re:An obfuscation layer, how nice... on Oklahoma Moves To Discourage Solar and Wind Power · · Score: 1

    Same applies to bandwidth and content. They should be separated. No bundling.

  9. Re:Actual Utility? on 404-No-More Project Seeks To Rid the Web of '404 Not Found' Pages · · Score: 1

    NSA

  10. Re:Nuh-uh! on The Design Flaw That Almost Wiped Out an NYC Skyscraper · · Score: 1
    You left out the bail-outs for the city and the insurance companies that would not cover the disaster because, well, because, such a scenario was not in the fine print.

    Yepper.

    Pure fucking magic!

  11. Just an attack on craft brewers on Beer Price Crisis On the Horizon · · Score: 1
    It's all about the big boys that have the market share that can slowly pass on the costs. Fascism at work.

    And if you don't understand this, well, you can just fuck off and die, because that is *exactly* how facsists think about *YOU*.

  12. The real cause of Heartbleed on The Security of Popular Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    Was a new feature that was enabled by default. The heartbeat 'feature' should have been *DISABLED* by default. New features should always be disabled, and then you let the developer decide whether to enable it or not. And then *TEST* it! And *CODE REVIEW* it!

  13. Geez. Plants can only uptake CO2 with H20 on IPCC's "Darkest Yet" Climate Report Warns of Food, Water Shortages · · Score: 1
    Seriously. get a fucking clue. Link

    If the rain is not there, the plants do not do what you hope.

    Really, Seriously, get a fucking clue.

    Buy a fucking vowel.

  14. Space Makes H on Einstein's Lost Model of the Universe Discovered 'Hiding In Plain Sight' · · Score: 1

    H as in Hydrogen.

  15. Re:Blame (credit?) Fracking on Is Traffic Congestion Growing Three Times As Fast As Economy? · · Score: 1

    Riiight. Up about 40 cents per gallon last 10 days.

  16. Re:I agree with the board here on Steve Ballmer Blew Up At the Microsoft Board Before Retiring · · Score: 1

    One must not forget that you can't get to THERE from HERE. And it appears they are following a map that goes to NOWHERE.

  17. rm - just rm on Ask Slashdot: Reviewing 3rd Party Libraries? · · Score: 1

    Don't waste your time, just delete them. The probability that they don't have security problems is nearly nil.

  18. Re:Contracts on Girl's Facebook Post Costs Her Dad $80,000 · · Score: 2

    Better yet, they should have just lied and said they lost, and put the money in the bank. If they haven't figured out after numerous years that they could not trust their daughter to keep her mouth shut about it, they got bigger problems on their hands, still to come.

  19. Re:Wait a minute ... on NSA and GHCQ Employing Shills To Poison Web Forum Discourse · · Score: 1
    Indicates to me that the docs were put together by outside contractor people that were not familiar with the normal abbreviations.

    And based on the quality ot these docs and waste of paper, that fits.

  20. Re:Lies! on NSA and GHCQ Employing Shills To Poison Web Forum Discourse · · Score: 1
    You're hired.

    That is some of the clearest well thought out bullshit I've read here is some time, well since reading Cold Fjord above.

    Obviously, your programmers deserve a raise too as it is clear the the programmers of Cold Fjord basically have just taken Eliza and put some lipstick on it[0].

    [0] - as evidenced by the level of reading comprehension displayed

  22. Re:"Social engineering" on Developer Loses Single-Letter Twitter Handle Through Extortion · · Score: 0

    Should not take long. As soon as the new @N tweets, the NSA has the data, and they can pass it on to the FBI. Which is why this entire story is suspect to begin with.

  23. Lipstick on a pig on NSA and GCHQ Target "Leaky" Phone Apps To Scoop User Data · · Score: 1

    Security theatre. It will help with privacy from the perspective of not giving away lots of info to a particular app maker, but it will do nothing to stop what NSA/GCHQ is doing.

  24. Too simplistic on NSA and GCHQ Target "Leaky" Phone Apps To Scoop User Data · · Score: 1

    Even if you could setup a VM-like environment, you are wasting your time. First, you can't hack the 2nd cpu in the phone, which is the one that does the cell-tower comms, and how the backdoors can be loaded into the phone, and secondly, they don't really need to do the backdoor route because your data traffic is what reveals most of the info they are looking for. The only way to secure a cell phone is to place it in a faraday cage, embedded in concrete, and deep-sixed in the ocean.
