  1. Re:this malware is less evil on Windows Malware Poses As Ransomware, Just Deletes Victims' Files (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    Take hdd out and find deleted files on other PC. Not sure how ssd + trim works in this case ... probably not as well ...

  2. Goodness knows what else they've modified, I doubt it stops at the lock screen.

  3. Re:You want them to rush in incomplete features?! on New C++ Features Voted In By C++17 Standards Committee (reddit.com) · · Score: 1

    auto_ptr is a header file, not a C++ primitive?

  5. Re:There is a battery movement that auto sets DST on Ask Slashdot: Alternatives To "Atomic" Clocks? · · Score: 2

    We tried hanging a cell phone on the wall, but it just wasn't the same.

  6. Probably you need a deep link that's something other than the front page. Fake front pages and redirections to avoid attention.

  7. Re:Forcing Electronic Transactions on It's Time To Kill the $100 Bill, Says Larry Summers · · Score: 1

    That's the point, to force you to have a bank account, and not a suitcase of cash.

    No lossless formats, images will be slightly recompressed. Free is free, what do you expect.

    257 and 13597 were immediately found, per the thread

  11. Re:High density? on Utility Targets Bitcoin Miners With Power Rate Hike (datacenterfrontier.com) · · Score: 1

    That seems kind of low though. The racks look 7 feet tall. That would be just 50W per cubic foot.

  12. Re:High density? on Utility Targets Bitcoin Miners With Power Rate Hike (datacenterfrontier.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait, I figured it out. The racks are 750 feet tall.

  13. Re:High density? on Utility Targets Bitcoin Miners With Power Rate Hike (datacenterfrontier.com) · · Score: 1

    I suspect it was 2500W per sqft, just trying to count the racks and estimate 100W per slot. That's 2 beefy PSUs per sqft, doable.

  14. Re:The feature I miss most from RISC OS... on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1

    Under what usage context does this help? (Genuinely curious.)

    Same thing from the KDE Konsole maintainer who says "Well I don't see the value in multi-row tabs or supporting system beep for myself, so too bad for you."

  20. Re:Expectations lowered by all the crap out there on Ouya Android Game Console Launches, Quickly Sells Out · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Never been to Japan, eh? In my wife's parents' house, to get from the bathroom to the shower means a trip down the hall, through the living room, through the kitchen, through the laundry room, and finally the all-tile shower/deep tub room.

  21. you can HURT your wrist with one of those on CES: Can a Gyroscope Ball Really Cure Wrist Pain? (Video) · · Score: 1

    I know, because I did. If you try to make it go really fast, it will place a LOT of strain on your wrist. We had the one that lit up, pretty cool toy.

  22. avoid Lenovo ThinkPad Edge on Change the ThinkPad and It Will Die · · Score: 2

    Got one recently, and it is truly awful. Screen, buttons, optical drive, cooling fan, drivers, usb ports, brightness controls, wifi, battery, you name it, it has a problem. Resume from sleep and brightness controls are broken. Reboot and wifi is missing. Totally power off and restart, usb port rejects the mouse. Fan pulses up and down every 2 seconds. Suddenly can't read the battery, and it will soon emergency shut down, unless rebooting to fix that asap. Optical drive randomly pops open occasionally. Rejects discs 1/3 of the time. Pops open after closing with no disc 1/3 of the time. Screen is bright gray instead of black (I knew it was a cheap screen, but dear goodness I was not expecting that bright of a gray.) Left trackpad button has to be smashed to work. There is no Win7 graphics driver on the official website for the exact model (but you can find one with web search.) I do like the feel of the keyboard though. Check the official Lenovo forums to see more carnage.

    Somewhere I saw ~900 Eur for the 512GB model, which is nearly USD$1200

  24. Re:How important is this? on RDP Proof-of-Concept Exploit Triggers Blue Screen of Death · · Score: 1

    That's the point, that someone may turn the crash into a root.
