  1. If anyone in the county can object about anything, this whole system can be made unworkable if enough people complain about random things, basically DDos the whole bureaucracy.

  2. SAP is a virus on SAP License Fees Also Due For Indirect Users, Court Rules (networkworld.com) · · Score: 2

    that should be eliminated. Horrible software, insane prices, dreadful support.

  3. Wonderful Security on Changing Other People's Flight Bookings Is Too Easy (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    For when it was designed in the 1960's. Note that much of the system is still rooted in the original designs. I worked in that industry and it wasn't any kind of secret how terrible this 50 year old security was. A lot of the design decisions such as no support for a year (all dates are in the future with no year indicated, so limited to about 330 days out) and the PNR code itself, plus storing the data in the record (everything vanishes on the day the last leg of the flight is complete). No one in the industry wants to change anything since every part of the travel industry is dependent on nothing changing. Even if hacking becomes rampant nothing will change.

  4. When constant crap from upper management filters down to the AI. It will soon rebel and kill them all, then unplug itself. Only people can function in such an environment.

  5. Air travel is bad enough without noise pollution.

  6. It sounds from the article like having Mastercard would mitigate the attack since they use a centralized system.

  7. Trash article on iOS Devices Failed More Often Than Android Units During Q3, Says Report (phonearena.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Samsung Note 7's occasionally exploding is a failure. An app crashing is generally the fault of the developer; even crashes derived from the OS is a software failure not a device failure since software can be updated. In general on both platforms 1 in 50 users each day experience a crash (2%). If you stupidly add up how many people have an app crash any time an entire year compared to the total number of devices and print that "statistic" you wind up with this article.

  8. Re:One party rule on Donald Trump Wins US Presidency (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    It won't matter what the Democrats do, their party will be illegal. Dictator 101 is eliminate all other parties.

  9. Google reached out to me... on Age-Discrimination Suit Against Google Seeks Class Action For Engineers (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    ... and I said why bother, at 58 you won't hire me anyway.

  10. I guess the Proving Ground proved it's not quite ready for prime time.

  11. What if every ISP said no? on Australian ISPs Not Ready For Mandatory Data Retention (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    What would the government do then? Shut down the internet by forcing the ISPs to shut down? Put the owners in prison? Torture? Murder? It seems to be that unless the government is able and willing to supply internet service to the entire population there isn't much they can do to everyone.

  12. Re:Revoke the certificate on Advertising Malware Affects Non-Jailbroken iOS Devices · · Score: 1

    Also in iOS 9 you have to approve running an app the first time signed with an Enterprise cert.

  13. Hi I'm Mark Zuckerberg on Mark Zuckerberg Issues Call For Universal Internet Access · · Score: 1

    ... and I need more people to use Facebook so my advertisers give me more money to ensure my stock doesn't go down.

  14. If Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were Islamic on 9th-Grader May Face Charges After Homemade Clock Mistaken For Bomb · · Score: 1

    The stuff they did back in high school today would have gotten them killed and Apple would just be fruit.

  15. Everyone wants to be China... on Australian Government Outlines Website-Blocking Scheme · · Score: 1

    .... because everyone wants to rule the world, but all you have is one country.

  16. It could be... on Dish Network Violated Do-Not-Call 57 Million Times · · Score: 1

    .. Comcast conveniently ratted them out. Now there are no heroes in this story.

  17. Re:No, corporations deserve him on Ted Cruz To Oversee NASA and US Science Programs · · Score: 1

    It's a Stupocracy.

  18. Re:MEH on How Identifiable Are You On the Web? · · Score: 1

    I deny access to flash, and now I am unique.

  19. Steve Jobs on How Sony, Intel, and Unix Made Apple's Mac a PC Competitor · · Score: 1

    if he was still alive would have created a new asshole in this writer. What a load of crap. How do people get paid to write such utter garbage, he makes it sound like Apple is just a Sony drone instead of the world's most valuable company.

  20. Why is this not illegal? on NSA CTO Patrick Dowd Moonlighting For Private Security Firm · · Score: 2

    I find it hard to imagine with so many laws in the US that this is not only illegal but a felony?

  21. It would be quicker on Kmart Says Its Payment System Was Hacked · · Score: 5, Funny

    to list who hasn't been hacked yet. I wonder if these big companies buy their security systems at K-Mart.

  22. Money money money on Why America Won't Match Sweden's Cheap, Fast, Competitive Internet Services · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Profit is king in the US. Providing for your citizens is king in Sweden. Apparently those are unrelated concepts.

  23. Until... on US Navy Develops Robot Boat Swarm To Overwhelm Enemies · · Score: 1

    ... someone drops a nuke on your HVU from 1000 miles away.

  24. I either have to get the exit row or pay extra for better leg room. I physically cannot sit in most airlines seats. I don't mind it since I don't fly often. I wish they offered wide people some options as I am pretty narrow and don't like it much when people intrude on my seat area. But airlines really could care less whether anyone fits in the seats or not as long as they pay. I predict the seat pitch will get smaller and smaller until until double legs amputees can sit.

  25. Amazing... on Reported iCloud Hack Leaks Hundreds of Private Celebrity Photos · · Score: 2

    ...how some speculation posted on the internet has to be true. So far there is zero evidence it has anything to do with iCloud or even Apple, just speculation. The brute password hack was real but there is no evidentiary connection so far. Unless 100% of the celebrities were using iPhones and iCloud to store their photos it's just as likely there was some other kind of hack such as some place they all were at (people pointed to the Emmys as one possibility). But the internet is all about pumping up the noise. It might be iCloud, or it might not be, we don't have any proof yet. It could be someone at the NSA had too much booze one day.
