  1. Re:Thanks for breaking many email address validato on ICANN's Brand-Named Internet Suffix Application Deadline Looms · · Score: 1

    Just in case someone implements an email validation based on your comment: Make sure you read the spec, you don't need an MX record to be a valid email domain, an A record only is perfectly valid.

  2. Makes perfect sense on Etsy Hacker Grants Support Female Programmers · · Score: 0

    They want women so they can pay them less.. Business masterminds!

  3. I only use open-source frameworks on Ask Slashdot: Viable Open Source Models For Early Startups? · · Score: 1

    We don't know much about your product, but you hint at a "framework". This is a different kind of software, one that will be used by other developers to directly build upon. A free, fully open and documented framework, no matter how good, has very little chance of success, as there are already so many competing frameworks. Now imagine the chance of success a proprietary framework has.... unless you are Microsoft, I don't see how anyone could do this.

  4. WOW on Plantronics Helps Make Remote Workers' Lives Easier (Video) · · Score: 0

    Slashdot hitting an all time low. Blatant advertisement. Can't believe it.

  5. Re:Diamond on What Makes Spider Webs Tough As Steel · · Score: 1

    Diamonds are made of carbon and carbon is not metal. But yes they are hard.

  6. Re:Homelessness Doesn't Break the American Dream. on Homeless Student Is Intel Talent Search Semifinalist · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Canadian speaking here.. An entire homeless family is not something that should be considered "normal" or a consequence of some unfortunate chain of event that we just have to accept. Our society and economy, laws and culture are not that different from the US on most issues, but when I hear about homeless children and families in USA, that's where I truly grasp how vastly different our countries are.

  7. Re:this must be... on Transformer Prime To Get ICS On January 12, Boot Unlocker Coming · · Score: 1

  8. Re:10 years ago on Potential 0-Day Vulnerability For BIND 9 · · Score: 1

    I was referring to DJBDNS in general and not just the authoritative TinyDNS program. I was also speaking of BIND's security history in general, not only this specific issues.

  9. 10 years ago on Potential 0-Day Vulnerability For BIND 9 · · Score: 4, Informative

    I had to choose which DNS server I would deploy on my servers. I went for TinyDNS as it had all the same features and security promises. Man am I glad to have considered security over popularity.

  10. Re:You still need iPhone 4S on Siri Protocol Cracked · · Score: 1

    Yes, there is a good chance that they do check that ID.. But the mere fact that the iphone *sends* the ID does not mean that it is actually "checked"... Nothing in the article mention that they tried to send fake ID and got an error.

  11. Re:You still need iPhone 4S on Siri Protocol Cracked · · Score: 1

    Who said the ID needed to be valid? TFA does not mention if they tried random ID's.

  12. Really? on Airline to Offer In-Flight Adult Movies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If people do not watch porn on their own mobile devices in public places such as planes, it MUST be because the airline does not offer an APP for that.

  13. Facebook is actualliy gaining from this.. on European Users Overwhelm Facebook With Data Requests · · Score: 2

    Funny how the Personal data request form actually collects even MORE personal information about requesters, such as (real) birth date, personal phone numbers and of course full mailing address, all information many people do not enter in their profile..
