  1. Re:Is Encase worried yet? on US Army Releases Code For Internal Forensics Framework · · Score: 2

    This looks like less Encase and more WireShark/pcap post processing.

  2. Re:How is maintenance performed? on Former NATO Nuclear Bunker Now an 'Airless' Unmanned Data Center · · Score: 1

    Heavier than air would make it really hard to evacuate out from an underground bunker.

  3. Re:Authorized resellers on Ubisoft Revokes Digital Keys For Games Purchased Via Unauthorised Retailers · · Score: 1

    If they regularly advertise you have to activate via a VPN, it's a pretty good bet they're not a legit reseller.

    If the cost of the product is always vastly cheaper than anywhere else, it's a pretty good bet they're not a legit reseller.

  4. Correct paper link on Scientists Determine New Way To Untangle Proteins By Unboiling an Egg · · Score: 4, Informative

    > Do remember that, theoretically, Uber/Lyft types aren't doing this full time, but more a matter of "I'm heading out to Walmart, anyone want to come along?".

    Theoretically yes, in reality that's about as far from the truth as you can get for Uber drivers.

  7. Re:Not trying to excuse what he did on Behind the MOOC Harassment Charges That Stunned MIT · · Score: 1

    > In the whole history of people being psychologically manipulated and abused, they *all* could have stopped it simply by saying no, and walking away.

    Yes, maybe in the real world, face to face interaction where you can't click block and they're gone.

  8. Re:If Only the Article Addressed That ... on Behind the MOOC Harassment Charges That Stunned MIT · · Score: 2

    I read the article. I'm just claiming bullshit on the argument that somehow this physics professor is such a master psychological manipulator that he coerced dozens of women halfway across the world to send him nudes over the internet for no good reason.

    If you're *that* emotionally troubled with abandonment issues that you're sending a guy over the internet that has no leverage over you nudes, I dont see how you can deal with offline interactions period.

    And they could have stopped it immediately by blocking him on FB and/or just stopped the course they paid a whole $0 for.

  10. Not trying to excuse what he did on Behind the MOOC Harassment Charges That Stunned MIT · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But how exactly did he force them to do what they did *Over the internet*

  11. Re:HondaKarts? on Fake Engine Noise Is the Auto Industry's Dirty Little Secret · · Score: 2

    The fartcans?

  12. Re:Honest question. on Fighting Tech's Diversity Issues Without Burning Down the System · · Score: 1

    That's what I said.

  13. Re:Honest question. on Fighting Tech's Diversity Issues Without Burning Down the System · · Score: 2

    Because humans, for the most part, are pretty stupid and fail to grasp that just because there's an uneven number of something, doesn't make it not normal or perfectly fine.

  14. Re:A metric for price on Bitcoin Volatility Puts Miners Under Pressure · · Score: 4, Informative

    > If there isn't enough mining going on to produce the mining rewards that should be awarded daily, the difficulty will quarter every two weeks until the rewards are enough to incentivize miners to continue doing so.

    The difficulty only gets changed after the number of blocks since the last adjustment have been met. If less people mine, blocks take longer, blocks take longer, adjustment takes longer. So if people keep dropping out, it'll be a lot more than two weeks for the next adjustment.

  15. More stuff done on Facebook Targets Office Workers With Facebook At Work Service · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because we want to data mine all your work correspondence as well.

  16. Re:Cheap or bad on In-Flight Service Gogo Uses Fake SSL Certificates To Throttle Streaming · · Score: 1

    I dont see why equipment should matter, they could just do the MITM wherever they downlink to rather than in-aircraft.

  17. Re:bean counters ruin another company on AMD, Nvidia Reportedly Tripped Up On Process Shrinks · · Score: 0

    Intel has been doing their own fab for a while. While AMD (well GlobalFoundries) does their CPUs, they dont do their GPUs.

  18. Re:Only people offended on Neil DeGrasse Tyson Explains His Christmas Tweet · · Score: 2

    That she didn't have anything else to be offended about.

  19. Only people offended on Neil DeGrasse Tyson Explains His Christmas Tweet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The only people offended are the religious people who dont really know anything about their religion.

  20. Re:The TOR Project was well aware of this a while on Lizard Squad Targets Tor · · Score: 4, Informative

    Not the same issue at all. All this is is IdiotSquad starting up a bunch of Google Compute VMs as tor exit nodes.

  21. Re:TOR is a fucking honey pot ! on Tor Network May Be Attacked, Says Project Leader · · Score: 1

    It is not China nor Russia who came up with TOR, it was Uncle Sam which is the entity who funded the TOR project

    Guess what else they funded? The Internet.

  22. Re:with what? on US Links North Korea To Sony Hacking · · Score: 1

    The US didn't say "If you use your phone, we'll blow you up"

    Why would they care? This doesn't affect them. Their prices aren't changing.

  24. Re:About Fucking Time on In Breakthrough, US and Cuba To Resume Diplomatic Relations · · Score: 1

    > Cuban cigars are desired because they're good.

    [citation needed]. Outside of the 'neat' factor of buying a cuban cigar, there are equally good makers in other countries.
