  1. Re:That is how a surveillance-state does it on Turkish Journalist Jailed For Terrorism Was Framed, Forensic Report Shows (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    What next step? It is perfectly documented by leaked files that is how they do it in Europe and in the USA...

  2. coming from the shitty outleft softpedia here? I think I will stop dropping by...

  3. Safety of foreigners on Turkish Journalist Jailed For Terrorism Was Framed, Forensic Report Shows (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I was thinking of going in holidays in Turkey a few months ago...I think I will pass the opportunity.

  4. Lets see how long iPhone will manage to go... on Apple, Samsung Capture All Of Industry's Smartphone Profits (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    If Tim Cook would stop worrying more about technology and their user base than being uber PC and turning the conferences in freak shows of minority power...And this coming from a long time Apple user. Steve Jobs must be jumping on his grave.

    Tell that to million of people if what they want is a shiny rectangle. If it were the case, a brick or a piece of cheese would do nicely, or in an alternate work, nokia would be doing well. People want something that works well.

  6. Re:Slack Off on Systemd Rolls Out Its Own Mount Tool (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Using Jessie *without* systemd here, at work and at home. Slackware seems more interesting every day that goes by, though I have already a few FreeBSD servers.

    Your forgot including a DNS server and a web server in systemd; and running Java and p-code.

  8. Re:Do they really ignore them? on People Ignore Software Security Warnings Up To 90% of the Time, Says Study (phys.org) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is far more serious than being clunky...many are unnecessarily intrusive. Why should a warning steal the keyboard focus, specially while I am using it? Why could it not be a floating warning only? If some non fatal errors where not seen by the user as a nuisance to be dealt with, maybe more "brain power" could go into processing them?

    At home I block things at DNS level...thanks for the links!

  10. Re:Chemical feeders? on Wrong Chemical Dumped Into Olympic Pools Made Them Green (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately I grew up and live in a Latin country, and I am speaking from the voice of experience. Specialisation *and* experience is not valued, and the sad thing is we are with a severe brain drain of IT specialists *and* specially medical specialists can have an upgrade from 3 to 10 times their salary going the Europe/UK route. Excuse me, but having lived in the UJ, I am more than capable of saying you have no idea what you are talking about comparing the US to Latin countries. The disorganisation and lack of planning is amplified several orders of magnitude.

  11. He wants my passwords? on Canada's Police Chiefs Want New Law To Compel People To Reveal Passwords (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    I want a poney and a couple millions dollars too....and then?

  12. Re:Chemical feeders? on Wrong Chemical Dumped Into Olympic Pools Made Them Green (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    It is a rather large cultural problem... Latin cultures do not value specialisation and prefer to employ friends or family, or whoever gives the best "reward", or cut corners and money, or all together, over seasoned professionals.

    I have yet to understand if cloudfare captchas are there to secure their service or to force us to downgrade our security, activating Javascript. It is a pity, because I had a very nice opinion of Cloudfare and recommend it several times before finding about that.

    Then ask a question...why do governments use computers controlled by another country (i.e. by Microsoft)

  15. Re:fostering a generation that cant cook. on Soylent Coffee: Nootropics, Fat, Carbs, Protein -- But Will It Give You The Toots? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    This thread seems to be getting more of an informercial to get around adblockers the more I read of it.

  16. True indeed...that also seems to be a constant.

  17. I do not know about the original post, but I can relate. I do not hate my job, but the truth is the market is becoming more stupid and greedy as time goes by, and IT is being commoditised for worse or for the better. You got already a lot of monkeys in the market, and that is a nice excuse to drive down the salaries of the rest of the more competent professionals. In this market, either you are really specialised, or you maybe getting a pittance or be on the dole queue. The golden days of the guy that tinkered with hardware or designed a few web pages, and got good money are long gone. These days, those are a dime a dozen.

  20. is making boorish sessions with women, fat women, blacks and gays, instead on focusing in perfection and technology like in Steve Jobs gone days, Apple is doomed.

  21. Open, certified by FSF on New Crowdfunding Campaign Offers Modular EOMA68 Computing Devices (crowdsupply.com) · · Score: 1

    While not impossible, I find it hard to believe. I also have an A20 ARM board, a Lamobo R1 that after I cut physically the damn realtek ship is very similar in architecture to this card. Guess what...it is not open, it needs binary blobs to boot in graphic mode at least. It also quite sad there is still not a more modern ARM SoC besides the A20 that supports SATA directly connected to the CPU.

    In that point I agree with bloodhawk. Russia and even China products have the inherent advantage of not collaborating with our governments.
