  1. Headline Rules on Would You Put Ads On Your Homescreens For Free Mobile Service? · · Score: 1

    If there is a questionmark in the headline, the answer is NO!

  2. Re: So tell us on New Letters Added To the Genetic Alphabet · · Score: 1

    programs evolve. Haven't you seen a "hello world" app like a single cell amoeba grow into something like libre office? Or I guess that is really intelligent design 8)

  3. Re: Meanwhile... on Federal Wiretaps Down Slightly, Encryption Impact Decreases · · Score: 1

    Not unconstitutional. The secret FISA court said so.

  4. Re: Beware 'appliances' on Cisco Security Appliances Found To Have Default SSH Keys · · Score: 1

    You do realise the NSA is a government organization. This means stupid ideas are almost guaranteed.

  5. Re: Last sentence on Marvel's Female Superheroes Are Gradually Becoming More Super · · Score: 1

    Or the man they call Jayne.

  6. Re: Always have a redundancy on ISS Crew Stuck In Orbit While Russia Assesses Rocket · · Score: 1

    Actually, bring back waste just far enough for it to incinerated on re entry. They don't reuse those cargo capsules.

  7. Re: Elon Musk to the rescue once again on ISS Crew Stuck In Orbit While Russia Assesses Rocket · · Score: 2

    That's because tesla is in the market of milking the 1% to provide battery technology for the 99%, and profit for the 0.1%

  8. Re: It's about more than that on Why Crypto Backdoors Wouldn't Work · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And the even simpler argument. I'm not a U.S. Citizen. Why would I be happy the U.S. Has the ability to backdoor my app?

  9. Re: So much for international treaties on Billionaire Teams Up With NASA To Mine the Moon · · Score: 1

    Only matters if you signed them. Does anyone see China's signature on those treaties?

  10. Re: So many goddamn layers. on Ubuntu Gets Container-Friendly "Snappy" Core · · Score: 1

    Well, from the hardware layer you only have to run one virtual layer, and for Linux as a guest of that is perfect, why would you make that instance host another? If you also have a custom kernel with only the drivers and services you need hen even better.

  11. Re: Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis on Ross Ulbricht's Lawyer Says FBI's Hack of Silk Road Was "Criminal" · · Score: 1

    Obviously why NZ the government found the police were using an illegal surveillance technique, so they just made it legal, then backdated the law to take effect just before the first known use of this video surveillance. Hey presto, no day in court for those responsible.

  12. Re: This is typical of the "Jobs era" Apple on Apple To Face $350 Million Trial Over iPod DRM · · Score: 1

    Because it is more than just getting your songs onto the device. It's playlist management, and the metadata it syncs, making songs and podcast you played as played in itued too. I just wish they would remove rest of the i device synching to an always running service so I don't have to keep itunes open All the time just to sync my phone.

  13. Re: I smell a rat. on Use of Encryption Foiled the Cops a Record 9 Times In 2013 · · Score: 1

    And that is why there is protection against compelled disclosure of keys. Can you prove someone hant forgotten a password? What if like true crypts double volume, they just gave cops the key to the volume with nothing on it? What if it needed a kefile that has now been deleted or changed?

  14. Re: Not a big surprise on NSA Considers Linux Journal Readers, Tor (And Linux?) Users "Extremists" · · Score: 1

    Yeah, he is not only a dirty commie, But a neck beard hippy too. Why not add terrorits to his list. 8) just remember that without peaceful liberal extremists there can be no middle ground against the conservative fascists.

  15. Re: Umm...damage on Encryption Keys For Kim Dotcom's Data Can't Be Given To FBI, Court Rules · · Score: 2

    The damage has already been done. It's ended his mirage and torn his family apart, frozen his assets and been gerally inconvenient, all without even trying him yet. This is purely to strike fear into anyone who might want to challenge copyright as the US sees it.

  16. Re: bridge for sale on Former NSA Chief Warned Against Selling NSA Secrets · · Score: 1

    Or if he can learn from his mistakes, then maybe he is an expert.

  17. Re: Wound in the Force on The Andromeda Galaxy Just Had a Bright Gamma Ray Event · · Score: 1

    I had a friend with a Falcon coupe who swore he could outrun the cops, the big pursuit cruisers mind you, not those small local cops. However once he didn't have enough juice to run the supercharger, he was still overtaken.

  18. Re: Wound in the Force on The Andromeda Galaxy Just Had a Bright Gamma Ray Event · · Score: 1

    Ben felt the disturbance while the falcon was in hyperspace, so the force effects are most likely superluminal and can be detected in the fabric of subspace the instant they occur. Also real time interplanetary communications have been seen many times in the movies.

  19. Re: far enough on The Andromeda Galaxy Just Had a Bright Gamma Ray Event · · Score: 1

    But our planet also rotates like a chicken in a microwave. Depending on the width if the beam and how long the pulse, most of our little soap bubble wod probably fry.

  21. Re: Wow. What a jerk. on Richard Stallman Answers Your Questions · · Score: 2

    Or in New Zealand?

  23. Re: tldr on Are DVDs Inconvenient On Purpose? · · Score: 1

    Here in NZ we have Quickflix who have no content worth watching for streaming and fatso.co.nz for DVD/bluray deliveries. I get 4 disks a month, 2 at a time. I often don't have the time to watch them when I get them, so I rip them to watch on my PLEX anyway. And they might be worried about the streams being ripped? If they provided a stream I could legally access anywhere just like my PLEX, I'd use it.

  24. Re: Force them to warrenty whole unit.. on Customer: Dell Denies Speaker Repair Under Warranty, Blames VLC · · Score: 1

    And the speaker on the dell are so shitty anyway, it actually a blessing if they don't work. However bad dells are though, it's not as bad as Lenovo. The only laptop work has given me where I'd rather have the Dell back.

  25. Re: Network segmentation on Target's Data Breach Started With an HVAC Account · · Score: 1

    And all that segmentation costs money and hits productivity. You do realise Target would probably be as cheap as possible? I've inly worked in 2 placed with security you've described. A government support service and a bank. No corporate has had the money to do this, not even the retail outlets I've worked with. Building management servers probably authentic to are to the same forest as the finance server, which thanks to the shitty way AD requires lots of open ports proably means a flat open corporate back end.
