    LEVEL 1: COMPLETE

  2. ... is a fad. Someone needed to say it.

  3. C'mon someone had to say it!

  4. The moon's made of cheese, Gromit! on American Cheese Surplus Reaches Record High · · Score: 1

    Potential as a building material? I mean, if they could make the moon out of it. Just sayin'

  5. Well written article. tl;dr: "Yes it says that on the notes, but there's no actual law."

  6. Re:I think the bigger problem is the thing went of on Former NASA Engineer Designed Glitter Bomb Trap To Avenge Amazon Delivery Theft Victims (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Look, I get that all the time "awww! You could've caused an accident with that! What's wrong with you??" and yet to this day the driver has always arrived safely.

  7. Optionally Piloted on The Electric Airplane Revolution May Come Sooner Than You Think (robbreport.com) · · Score: 1

    Nice euphemism there. There's your cost saving. :)

  8. Fax machines are actually very convenient

    Not for the patient.

  9. The pineapples walk by night on Australia Set To Spy on WhatsApp Messages With Encryption Law (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    If you can read this message, you'll know what to do.

  10. Can you just STOP .... on EU To Stop Changing the Clocks in October 2019 (dw.com) · · Score: 1

    messing with daylight saving. I don't mind if you have daylight saving, or if you don't, just stop changing you mind!

  11. Re:I hang up on them all the time. on Ask Slashdot: Should We Hang Up on Conference Calls? (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    Unlikely. It will be the ":D". People hate that.

  12. Quidditch on Warner Bros Is Cracking Down On Harry Potter Festivals (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    ... is not a sport. Just in case Warner Bros can help at all with this travesty. TIA.

  13. Re:Also huge selection bias on The Percentage of Open Source Code in Proprietary Apps is Rising (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    And so reading this article, I'm wondering: If I'm worried about attackers leveraging vulnerabilities in my source code, is there any product I could buy that might help me with this new found concern?

  14. Tap-off loophole on 'How I Went Dark In Australia's Surveillance State For 2 Years' (cnet.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    A little known loophole: Your Opal card can go into negative balance. So long as you have enough balance to tap on, you can always tap-off. Tap on with $2.50 credit, tap off for $17.76, throw the card away and get another one. Simples! (You have been living off the grid for 2 years but you didn't know this? Hmm...)

  15. Re:Japan has had them for years on Dial P for Privacy: The Phone Booth Is Back (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    We have them at work. They are great, especially if you need to make a private call - the soundproofing is excellent. Bring your laptop in if you need to.

  16. Re:And that is why browser is not an email reader on How Email Open Tracking Quietly Took Over the Web (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Mutt with a uid that low? Fancy! I still use elm.

  17. The admin rights one is worth looking at if you are used to MacOS. In Windows, if your user has admin rights, you get a simple popup asking you if you want to do something as admin. It's easy to click OK. If your user does not have admin rights, in that scenario you'll need to type the user name and password of another user that does have admin rights. This is more similar to MacOS.
    "Hey why do I need to type my password here?"
    That said, I have admin rights on all my Windows boxen. :)

  18. ... there was some product that could help solve this problem!
