  1. Re:Reduce functionality for security on Firefox Disables Loophole that Allows Sites To Track Users Via Battery Status (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    You are incorrect. Set up a server and give it a try.

  2. Reduce functionality for security on Firefox Disables Loophole that Allows Sites To Track Users Via Battery Status (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It isn't the first time browsers reduced functionality for security. It used to be you could use a url such as http: //username:password@hostname/ but that was abused and eliminated from all major browsers. (space added after http so slashdot reformatter doesn't break comment).

  3. But, but... it was invented by the CIA! Everyone knows that.

  4. Great. They add in some 3d stuff but you can't even do basic things like make a selection.

  5. afaict doesn't count for much. I haven't read anywhere that they didn't spoof source addresses.

  7. DVDs instead of streaming on Netflix Now Only Has 31 Movies From IMDB's Top 250 List (streamingobserver.com) · · Score: 2

    This is why I get their DVDs instead of streaming. I haven't made a count but they have a far higher percentage than that on DVD. I've gotten the impression they have 8 or 10 times as many movies on DVD as on streaming.

  8. Fastmail is great, unlimited aliases excellent interface, use your own domain. I've been using them for years. I'm paying $40 / year though their front page says $50 / year. Maybe new users pay more.

  9. I hope you don't actually mean email forwarding. What you want is your nameserver mx records pointing to the mail server of your choice.

    Or paint.net which is free and actually has an easy understandable gui.

    Pascal.

  12. Re:what a joke? on Microsoft Unveils $37 Nokia 216 Feature Phone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I like that idea. A rotary dial cell phone. Hipsters would buy it.

  13. Can I run stuff from the play store?

    Any sane firewall will have all ports blocked except the ones you need.

  16. Stop getting worked up and in a tither.

  17. Re: Subsidizing Businesses.... on Massachusetts Will Tax Ride-Sharing Companies To Subsidize Taxis (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Uber is strongly interested in self driving cars. Uber drivers may be done for but the company isn't.

  19. Re:Carrier Phones - RIP on Verizon Offered To Install Marketers' Apps Directly On Subscribers' Phones (adage.com) · · Score: 1

    If you want wifi calling on tmobile it's the other way around. All of the phones they sell do it. Very few others do, maybe one or two.

  20. Re: Hypocrisy on Google: Unwanted Software Is Worse Than Malware (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    You say that like braining myself would be a bad thing.

    There is no such thing as a 'digital' antenna. It's just a tv antenna. It will work the same with analog if you have any analog stations around you. The antenna you had from 1980 will work too.

    DOS must have strange years, 20 years since 1984.
