  1. Re:but but but... Apple on CarrierIQ: Most Phones Ship With "Rootkit" · · Score: 1

    The only person with direct access to it was the phone owner and the person with unencrypted backups of the phone, which was also likely the owner.

    With the way Siri's been revealed to work, I would highly doubt this. Apple also wants to build their own telecom. Good luck with that privacy of yours.

  2. Re:Money... on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    You say that as though people care! Did you know that the iTunes license disallows installation on non-Apple branded machines? The Windows port of iTunes is only there for the dual-booting iDerpers. Meanwhile, they're all listening to pirated music through their unlicensed iTunes.

  3. Re:Can't have your cake and eat it too. on Ask Slashdot: Spoof an Email Bounce With Windows? · · Score: 1

    No, YOU are wrong. Nepka is right. The OS is entirely irrelevant, this is 100% application-space stuff. Furthermore, with administrative access you can run ANYTHING on Windows. You can play with devices if you want, it's just one kernel-mode driver to write and away you go. tl;dr the hood isn't welded shut, it's just locked and you need the administrators key.

  4. Re:Normal School will work fine on How Do You Educate a Prodigy? · · Score: 1

    Subjecting a prodigy to school just to teach him interpersonal skills sounds like a real waste. 8 hours a day of having things like fractions explained would be horrible.

    I'm no prodigy but managed to get ahead in math at one point, doing a little algebra in 5th grade when it was normally a 7th grade subject. Stuck in the classroom that was reiterating stuff I didn't need

    THIS! I got taught some fun bits and pieces in fourth grade (about 10 years old) like Pythagoras' theorem. This meant I was bored to death when we finally hit algebra properly so I stopped paying attention and then fell behind when we got to things like polynomials :( Meanwhile, school was scaring me away from people. Schools are full of horrible, horrible people.

  5. Re:Unused cables on Ask Slashdot: Clever Cable Management? · · Score: 1

    Haha, very nicely worded! I'll have to keep my eye out for some, I've got a few LAN parties planned soon.

  6. Re:Unused cables on Ask Slashdot: Clever Cable Management? · · Score: 1

    That would work very well for small cables (or big bags).
