  1. 10 years from now... on Wearable 'Backpack PCs' Let You Experience High-End VR On The Go (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Cant wait to look back on this moment in 10 years and LMAO. Oh, virtual boy.

  2. How do you "cover your tracks" with a phone? on N. Carolina Senator Drafting Bill To Criminalize Apple's Refusal To Aid Decryption (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I need to learn this technique...

  3. Operational costs of an SLP on Why Johnny Can't Speak: a Cost of Paywalled Research · · Score: 1

    Nearly every occupation has operational costs. This is yours. A thousand dollars a year is only ~1.5% of the income of an speech and language pathologist... I'm not crying for you, Argentina. If you're really strapped for cash, go use a library, that's what they're for. If you want the luxury of sitting at home and sipping your coffee while you browse the latest and greatest published in Science, then pay up. I'm a recent ex-*student* (not a 80k/yr salaried SLP), and I have yet to find an article that I can't find free access to. At worst, you can sign up for your alumni association and get access to their library proxy and get articles that way (for $40/yr, or $400/lifetime or so).

  4. Getting around an employer firewall, anyone? on Google Wants To Help You Tiptoe Around the NSA & the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    Some employers who let you use firefox/chrome plugins at will might have a problem keeping their sheep in the pen with this one. Of course, they probably already do, but this would just make it easy for you to connect through your "friend" (ie home) and circumnavigate the firewall.

  5. Re:Will never be able to trust a U.S. company agai on Google Wants To Help You Tiptoe Around the NSA & the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 2

    Making it open source would be a good start building trust... we'll see. Seeing as the VPN is only between friends, data doesn't ever have to see a google server, so there's not a whole lot of trusting that NEEDS to happen.

  6. Re:openvpn and tinc already exist on Google Wants To Help You Tiptoe Around the NSA & the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    Easy setup/integration into a browser. OpenVPN is great, but not the easiest to setup for 90+% of internet users. I think they're just making OpenVPN noob-friendly.

  7. Re:Can VPN traffic be identified as such? on Google Wants To Help You Tiptoe Around the NSA & the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 5, Insightful

    OpenVPN (and therefore probably this solution) can be configured to appear as though it's normal SSL traffic (like you're visiting an https web URL). It's one of the things that makes OpenVPN so great, and hard to block.

  8. Re:THE virus is a bit of an overstatement on Finnish Team Makes Diabetes Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 5, Informative

    That would be type 2 diabetes. Some of the already-described causes of type 1 are genetic (as opposed to this virus).

  9. THE virus is a bit of an overstatement on Finnish Team Makes Diabetes Vaccine Breakthrough · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A great advancement, but there are undoubtedly many causes of type 1 diabetes, many of which have been described in the scientific literature. Just a little bit of an overstatement to say, "the virus that causes type 1 diabetes," has been discovered.

  10. Re:Bad statistics are bad on The Most WTF-y Programming Languages · · Score: 5, Informative

    those conclusions are drawn without controling for a language usage. Since c++ is widely adopted so there will be more instances of a comment where "WTF?" is used.

    Why don't use a percentage at least? Even if that was the case, the problem remains... a wtf-y language may be the most avoided and/or not present in github

    Well, they DID account for it, but they did it all wrong. They counted WTFs *per repository* ...but that makes the assumption that all repositories are of equal size, which they are not. If C++ repositories have more code on average, then that simple fact could account for the increased WTFs per repository, even if everything else was equal.

  11. So where can I btowse these public records? on DEA Argues Oregonians Have No Protected Privacy Interest In Prescription Records · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see all the drugs that everyone is on... where can I find this "publicly available" information?

  12. Next headline from VP JD Sherry: on Online Games a 'Playground' For Organized Crime · · Score: 1

    Online retail stores are a 'retail shop' for organized crime and cyber criminals
