  5. Staggering on Data Broker Medbase200 Sold Lists of Rape & Domestic Violence Victims · · Score: 1

    In Europe this data would definitly qualify as Private Personal data for data protection, these people need to launch a million dollar legal action for this compared to too hot coffee.

  8. Re:Answer the phone on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Stop a Debt Collection Scam From Targeting You? · · Score: 1

    It is scam, they lie about whom they represent.

    I've had calls claiming I own money to Sky, never had it. BT who don't even offer telephone service im my area, Gas & Electric from utilities companies I don't use. I usually call them out their lie and hang up, but they repeatedly call back at irregular intervals.

    Holding the line open doesn't cost them much. They use VOIP and break out companies in your locale who they don't pay anyway.

  9. No suprising... on Researchers Use Computer-Generated 10-Year-Old Girl To Catch Online Predators · · Score: 1

    Well known in anti-spam lists.

    I assumed 419 scam, labelling gullible responders as paedophile is grossly irresponsible!

  10. BitCoin is a Gullibility Filter on SEC Alleges 'Bitcoin Savings & Trust' Is a Ponzi Scheme · · Score: 1

    One explanation about why he was able to carry this out was undoubtedly the fact that BitCoin it'self acts like a gullibility filter, attracting those that are both gullible and greedy.

  11. Clause 28 on British Porn-Censoring MP Has Website Defaced With Porn · · Score: 1

    This is the same party that banned equal rights sex education in Schools.

    If they have the public support for censorship they claim why did they hide the announcement behind what will probably prove to be the biggest story of the Summer?

  12. Misdirection and dilution on NSA Utah Data Center Blueprints Reveal It Holds Less Than Thought · · Score: 0

    About once a year I send an email to my paranoid friends which includes a few buzz phrases.

    Dear Spooks,

    It is once again time for me to provide you with an update on nefarious activities on the Wild Wild Web.

    While you are clandestinely surveilling me through your prism of delusion, why not take a moment and stand back and ask your self; is what you are really doing protecting liberty or slow chiselling it away.

    Have a good.

  13. Why waste that time... on Mastermind of 9/11 Attacks Designs a Secret Vacuum Cleaner · · Score: 1

    Just mark it classified and file it.

  14. Automated Testers are Developer on A Case For a Software Testing Undergrad Major · · Score: 1

    Perhaps because they have been or already are developers. Any good developer is already a tester, engaged in Test Driven Development, using xUnit family of tools, running their tests continuously with CI.

    If he's on the ball he's using Behaviour Driven Development to script complex scenarios that function as both his development and test harness.

    He's testing his Web Services integration with tools like SOAPUI + Groovy from Smartbear from the article and using it to do dynamic mocking for both the client and server.

    He's targeting the end system, using tools like WebDriver to execute his test scripts using all the major Browers, IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari.

    If he's doing all that and running his tests from the cloud to load and performance test the SUT; he might just have the technical skills to match a typical automated test engineer.

    Anybody that thinks testers today are just using the Application is frankly cross ignorant of what is happening to automate the test specialism.

    Test automation is the undiscovered country for developers that have done it all before a dozen times.

  15. Ego on Julian Assange Pans WikiLeaks Movie · · Score: 2

    This will cost me karma but when will his fanbois finally understand his ego knows no bounds.

    He fell out with with Daniel Domscheit-Berg and other co-founders of Wikileaks.

    He fell out with his Alan Smithee his autobiographer.

    He fell out with the Guardian Newspaper.

    And now he's fallen out with Dreamworks.

  16. Peter Higgs on Bletchley Park Codebreaker Honored · · Score: 1

  17. Poor Strategy on UK Pirate Party Forced To Give Up Legal Fight · · Score: 1

    BBC Radio 4 PM probably the most respected News Programme in the one UK ran a feature on that video.

  22. Dunning Kruger on Is a Computer Science Degree Worth Getting Anymore? · · Score: 2

    The author thinks Basic and DBase are the technology milestone to be marvelled at and a book on "compiler theory" is all kinds of nonsense. Text book example of Dunning Kruger effect at work.

  23. Unequivocally Qualified on The Fight To Reform Forensic Science · · Score: 1
