  1. What is the right backup solution? on New and Improved CryptXXX Ransomware Rakes In $45,000 In 3 Weeks (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I've got a server with Raid 1 for backups. At one time, it seemed like a good idea but, obviously, the bad guys can encrypt my backups with this setup where I'll end up having redundant copies of mush. What is the best solution now so that I can totally thumb my nose at at the first person that manages to encrypt a family member's computer? An offline USB Drive may be good but doesn't feel very automated to me :-(

  2. Re:Of course the spin is people are... on In the Aftermath Of Brexit, Brits Google About Irish Passport, Meaning Of EU, and Why it All Happened · · Score: 1

    I thought we were an autonomous collective?

    Things must me tough in Britain if a good Monty Python joke doesn't get modded up.

  3. Re:A Programmable/Universal Remote... on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Want a 'Smart TV'? · · Score: 1

    ...is a hell of a lot cheaper than a "smart" TV.

    show me a universal remote and I'll show you a missing button :-(

  4. Fewer Remotes! on Ask Slashdot: Why Do You Want a 'Smart TV'? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I mean, I have a remote for Roku, one for the TV, one for the cable box, one for the dedicated skype device, one for Bluray, one for the speakers and two not-as-universal-as-I-thought remotes. Sure, 4K on 60 inches with some apps was what I thought I wanted but being able to sit down and turn on Netflix with a single remote? Priceless.

  5. Strange. My updates only happen... on Windows 10 Updates Are Now Ruining Pro-Gaming Streams (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    ... when I am ready to go home for the night.

  6. Re:Gripe: Math versus Science on Are We Alone In the Universe? Not Likely, According To Math (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    And your proof for this is?

    Proofs are boring. That's a given.

  7. Maybe he can switch to Jediism? on Worshipping the Flying Spaghetti Monster Isn't a Real Religion, Court Rules (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Sarcasm is not a required tenant and true believers are plentiful ( http://www.jedichurch.org/ )

  8. Re:Where's my UTF8? :-) on The State of Slashdot: Https, Poll Changes, Auto-Refresh, Videos, and More · · Score: 1

    It's coming

    I can't wait to start commenting in my native language, emoticon.
