  1. Re:Why is anyone still running Firefox? on Multiple Vulnerabilities Exposed In Pocket · · Score: 1

    You still havent named anything you can do in Firefox you can't do in Chrome. All those exist as equivalent chrome extensions.

  2. Re:No web interface? on Google Announces a Router: OnHub · · Score: 1

    > And only 1 LAN port?

    It's an access point, not a router.

  3. Security 101 on Multiple Vulnerabilities Exposed In Pocket · · Score: 3, Interesting

    These seem like pretty basic things to get wrong.

  4. What did you expect to happen? on Facebook Intern Gets Preemptive Ax For Exposing Security Flaw · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So you're trying to get a job at a company and instead of reporting to them a security flaw, you create a Chrome extension to let anybody (ab)use it.

    If you're expecting to NOT get fired, you're an idiot.

  5. No Theora? on Cisco Developing Royalty Free Video Codec: Thor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why couldn't they contribute to Theora since that was the entire point of it was to be a royalty free video codec.

  6. No on Uber Drivers Arrested By Undercover Cops In Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    Are local police quite this concerned in your city with car-sharing dispatch services?

    But if you give them low-hanging fruit for arrestable offenses, they're going to take it.

  7. Re:Or just use the key on Latest Samy Kamkar Hack Unlocks Most Cars · · Score: 1

    Or 1 smart ringleader gets a few of these and gives them to his street thugs.

  8. Re:Obviously. on Reddit Updates Content Policy, Bans More Subreddits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    > I have a right to ask them to leave, correct?

    Sure you do, but stop claiming your restaurant is a bastion of free speech.

  9. $1 BIllion on Uber Invests $1 Billion In Indian Market · · Score: 1

    And they still can't pay their drivers decently.

  10. What? on Are We Reaching the Electric Car Tipping Point? · · Score: 2

    Rapidly a tipping point will be reached, at which point finding a convenient gas station will be nearly impossible and owning a gasoline powered car will positively suck.

    Kinda like how finding a convenient electric charging station is nearly impossible to find?

  11. Closed Ecosystem on Maliciously Crafted MKV Video Files Can Be Used To Crash Android Phones · · Score: 4, Interesting

    And those running custom mods will have this fix this week while those who are locked in to their carriers will be stuck vulnerable for who knows how long.

  12. Re:Sad Day on Debian Drops SPARC Platform Support · · Score: 2

    Then it was slink. It's been 16 years, details can get a bit fuzzy.

  13. Re:Mod reversal on Debian Drops SPARC Platform Support · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's GNAA, arguably been trolling Slashdot as long as SPARC has been around.

  14. Sad Day on Debian Drops SPARC Platform Support · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think the first version of Debian I'd ever used was Hamm on an old Sparcstation IPC.

  15. Re: INB4... on ProxyGambit Replaces Defunct ProxyHam · · Score: 2

    No reason they should, this is using either 2.4Ghz Wifi or a GSM connection, neither of which have the encryption restrictions the HAM bands use.

  16. No clue why ProxyHam went dark on ProxyGambit Replaces Defunct ProxyHam · · Score: 1

    Looking at ProxyGambit it either uses Point to Point directional wifi, or a 2G connection, so it wasn't an FCC 'encryption' issue.

  17. Re:Theology on University of Toronto: Anti-vaccine Homeopathy Course Is Fine · · Score: 2

    > Anyone undertaking these courses knows what they're signing up for

    Unfortunately no, you'd probably be surprised the stupid things some doctors think. If it's outside their specialty, they can be horribly wrong.

  18. Is it addressed to her? on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Ongoing Suspected Identity Theft? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is it addressed to her name or her email address? If just the latter, than who cares, add it to the spam filter. Or recover the login information and unsubscribe the person from all their services.

  19. Aaron Schwartz and the Pirate Bay team were also quite a bit older than 15

  20. Denialist on Google's Niantic Labs Sorry Over Death Camps In Smartphone Game · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So is removing them and pretending those places dont exist is a better solution?

  21. Re:Barracuda Backup, too! on Cisco Security Appliances Found To Have Default SSH Keys · · Score: 1

    To be fair, they allow you to use non-root users. And if you dont have a firewall rule to only allow SSH from the backup master, then you're an idiot.

  22. Bug Bounties . . . on My United Airlines Website Hack Gets Snubbed · · Score: 1

    . . . are usually crap.

  23. Re:But Google Code? on Google Tests Code Repository Service · · Score: 1

    No, Google Code was project hosting, this is (effectively) just repo hosting.

  24. Re:So where are the CVE/Vuln reports for this?Oh,w on Car Hacking is 'Distressingly Easy' · · Score: 2

    > There have been public demonstrations, some televised, of certain models of modern car that allow you to change things like timings and injection sequences, via OBD, over Blueooth, using default passcodes.

    What car has Blutooth OBD without having to have physical access to the car to attach a bluetooth dongle to the OBD port?

  25. The Fuck? on MEAN Vs. LAMP: Finding the Right Fit For Your Next Project · · Score: 4, Insightful

    >This isn't a problem if every single entry fits into exactly the same format, but how often is the world that generous?
    > What if two people share the same address but not the same account?

    You dont make it a unique field?

    > What if you want to have three lines to the address instead of two?

    You have an empty field?

    > Who hasn’t tried to fix a relational database by shoehorning too much data into a single column? Or else you end up adding yet another column, and the table grows unbounded.

    Yeah, I cant read this crap considering the very next section is 'Disk space is cheap'. If it's cheap, who cares about 1 extra field in the database.

    Remember guys MongoDB is webscale
