  1. Teaching children on Company Creates Gun That Looks Like a Cellphone (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who see's the child's reaction as a sign of the parental teaching? Like it was a "bad thing" that this guy had a weapon and that the child was taught to immediately report to the parent and to the world if someone has a gun.

  2. It moved to new domain on Popular Torrent Site Disappears From Google After Penalty · · Score: 5, Informative

    https://kat.cr/ That is their new location

  3. Knowledge is power on Professor: Young People Are "Lost Generation" Who Can No Longer Fix Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Its kinda fun, finding all these broken gadgets on eBay, buying them cheap, doing a bit of repair or just even reflowing the solder and then turning around and selling something.

  4. Missing the point on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    The whole point of the Second Amendment is to never, ever, ever, let a government have total control over our lives (Revolutionary War). The Second Amendment is the FINAL bounce of power. You have the Supreme Court, the Executive Branch, the Legislator Branch.....AND the People. If any of those three step out of bounds (of the Constitution), it is our job to make sure they get back in line. I'm not advocating violence against the government (I served in the military) , just saying if these branches step out the Constitution, its our job to protest and make sure they understand they are in the wrong.

  5. Bunch of religious wacko's on Measles Outbreak In NYC · · Score: 1

    Okay first off, I'm a born-again Christian who believes Creation by God in 7 days. Evangelical Christian. Just to clear the air when I say this: About half of my church is anti-vaccination people. They claim their "home remedies" will protect them from this crap and the spout off old studies that have long been disproved or never peer-reviewed. Despite my intense debate with them on FB and in person with study papers in hand or links they continue to believe that their roots & herbs is going to protect them from a virus. Recently one of my elders in church went to the Philippines and is due back to church today. He is an anti-vaccine person and went into an area infected with TB! The wife and I have been debating severely if we should go back to church or not this morning or wait till next week to see if he goes into active TB stage. BUT inactive TB can stay in your system for 2 freakin years! I have a new baby on the way in two months, and at any time this guy could go active and expose my new child who is too young to get the vaccination. Personally, I say let them all kill each other off with spreading these diseases among themselves, but the problem is, they expose their sickness to my children who may be too young to XYZ vaccination. Oh yeah, the same half of the church "claims" they are all allergic to gluten as well. So I feel myself qualified when I say they are a bunch of religious nut-jobs.

  6. More caution on Australian Teen Reports SQL Injection Vulnerability, Company Calls Police · · Score: 1

    I had asked a security expert on how to best report a vulnerability and was told...."With great caution, as some will be grateful, others will be embarrassed and bury you"

  7. What a bunch of idiots on U.S. Measles Cases Triple In 2013 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As a conservative, religious man, I find the religious anti-vaccination crowd a bunch of blind ninnies. I have a few at my church like that, and I want to smack them as they put my children who are too young to receive these vaccination at risk of catching a deadly disease.

  8. Re:We're disillusioned with the Defence Sector on The Cybersecurity Industry Is Hiring, But Young People Aren't Interested · · Score: 1

    I might be trolling a bit. I'm also the exact opposite of most people here on Slashdot Conservative, debt-free, military served, pro-gun, pro life, etc etc, lol. And I've never heard of the McD principle, lol.

  9. Re:We're disillusioned with the Defence Sector on The Cybersecurity Industry Is Hiring, But Young People Aren't Interested · · Score: 1

    So we need politicians who aren't corrupt and do accept the lobbying done by the defense contractors. Still sounds like it all lands back on politicians. Obama has been doing a decent job (I'm not a fan of him) of cutting military spending and its heading in the right direction but we need to be cautious as China's military capability is growing and we need to be on watch for that.

  10. Re:We're disillusioned with the Defence Sector on The Cybersecurity Industry Is Hiring, But Young People Aren't Interested · · Score: 1

    Completely understand. But blaming the defense sector for doing what it can to protect the nation isn't the way to go. Perhaps blaming the politicians both past and present for the continuing of the bill....*cough*Bush**cough*Obama**cough*Congress*

  11. Re:We're disillusioned with the Defence Sector on The Cybersecurity Industry Is Hiring, But Young People Aren't Interested · · Score: 1

    Without turning this into a political debate, you were honestly too young to feel the anger about 9/11 which is the basis of the PATRIOT Act even getting passed. In some ways its like the Japanese-American internment camps after Pearl Harbor. Clearly the wrong but the only solution we could come up with.

  12. Re:no jobs anywhere... on The Cybersecurity Industry Is Hiring, But Young People Aren't Interested · · Score: 1

    I don't think I'm overqualified, far from that, I think I am way underqualified hence my continue education. I enjoy security and it is the direction I want to head in. I appreciate the thought though :)

  13. No jobs locally on The Cybersecurity Industry Is Hiring, But Young People Aren't Interested · · Score: 1

    I am an inactive duty Marine, 5 years of clean record handling encryption systems and system administration, years of desktop support service and finished one degree with information security and working on a second. I have some entry level security certs and have been trying to find a security job locally in my state but I haven't found any. Had a couple interviews with Bit9 for a remote job but didn't get the position. I don't want much, just an average starting wage for a junior level position so I can learn and grow but there isn't any security jobs in Idaho. The wife really doesn't want to move and frankly neither do I.

  14. Businesses on UK Mobile ISP Blocks VPN, Citing Access To Porn · · Score: 1

    How will this impact businesses that use VPN for traveling users or PPTP usage for multiple offices.

  15. Its why I subscribe on Kernel Dev Tells Linus Torvalds To Stop Using Abusive Language · · Score: 1

    I subscribe so I can read Linus comments. How many are with me on this? LOL

  16. Re:Hello and goodbye on NSA WhistleBlower Outs Himself · · Score: 1

    tftp, I like how you put that. I'm just really pissed at Manning I was a server admin in the Marine Corps and handled a lot of things including access to the stuff Manning had, so to me, what he did was inexcusable.

  17. Re:Hello and goodbye on NSA WhistleBlower Outs Himself · · Score: 1

    The difference between Bradley Manning and this guy is that Manning swore an oath as a soldier, Snowden did not.

  18. Amused on Fear of Death Makes People Into Believers (of Science) · · Score: 1

    I am amused by all the "atheist" who are actually " anti organized religion". If you are truly an atheist, you would be saying "I don't have proof either way, and I don't care how you live your life as long as you don't bother me, so I won't bother arguing about your world view because it would be bothering you".

  19. Money! on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Make a Computer Science Club Interesting? · · Score: 1

    Have the students produce something like an Android app as a team. Sell it on the Play Store and give them the proceeds. This will spark lots of interest.

  20. Just starting on Ask Slashdot: How Important Is Advanced Math In a CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    I've been a tech for years, and moving into information security (just got my Associates in Applied Science in Information Security and Digital Forensics) but decided going for my Bachelors might be a great idea. I'm not looking forward to the math either. However, I know I will need it for courses such as cryptology.

    I never actually logged into the website, nor got my password stolen, nor got malware. Links are always checked out, email header completely read, domain looked up in WHOIS, and link opened in a VM.

  23. No help on Dell Gives Android the Boot, Boots Up More Windows 8 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As the only Dell Streak 7 Android developer left, it doesn't surprise me that Dell has abandoned Android. I've spent over a year trying to get them to comply with the GPL and give me the last source code for their last kernel update. Every request I have put forth has been turned down or rejected. I still try my best to keep this tablet up to date with ICS and JB, but I can only do so much without more support.
