  1. Re:Surveillance and censorship on Surveillance Culture Brought To the Masses, Courtesy of Verizon (consumerist.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Who would buy a phone that wouldn't let you remove the battery?

  2. Interesting Idea on Surveillance Culture Brought To the Masses, Courtesy of Verizon (consumerist.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I guess I won't need the radio tracking collars I was going to order.

  3. Once the phone bricks itself from the tampering, it won't be an issue.

  4. Follow the Chinese on Putin's Internet Czar Wants To Ban Windows On Government PCs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They rolled their own Linux distro to get away from Windows.

  5. Unclench Your Buttcheeks on North Korea's Satellite Tumbling In Orbit · · Score: 1

    Assuming Noth Korea turns this into an ICBM, they still don't have a nuclear payload for it. All of their nuclear test pieces are way too heavy.

  6. Lucas can STFU on George Lucas Criticizes the Force Awakens (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    He mutilated the original trilogy and instead of releasing the new versions as "director's cuts" in parallel with the original versions, he took the original versions off the market. Maybe Disney will undo the damage. Also, his favorite character is Jar-Jar. So he can fuck off.

  7. No systemd on Slackware on Will You Be Able To Run a Modern Desktop Environment In 2016 Without Systemd? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Slackware runs KDE or xfce and stays up to date. They are working on a new release, no systemd in sight.

  8. Nullify the Grand Jury on Justice Officials Fear Nation's Biggest Wiretap Operation May Not Be Legal (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I would be happy to discard potential indictments because the government is no longer willing to gather evidence in a constitutional manner.

  9. Mission Creep on Joining Lavabit Et Al, Groklaw Shuts Down Because of NSA Dragnet · · Score: 1

    The NSA and the security apparatchiks have the worst case of mission creep since Hitler took over the German Workers' Party in Bavaria.

  10. Headers are Facts on Lawyer Continues Android v. GPL Crusade · · Score: 3, Interesting

    SCO tried to cornhole Linux over errno.h being similar to BSD. SCO lost for the same reason and also because they suck. Unless they abused headers to jam in a bunch of functions that might be "creative" (and that would be their content anyway), the headers should just be lists of facts.

  11. Good on NASA Ends Plan To Put Man Back On Moon · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Constellation, particularly Ares, was a boondoggle that was years behind schedule and was never going to get us there. Now we can work on Mars and do it in a feasible manner. Commercial companies like SpaceX can handle the LEO stuff, and maybe even heavy lift. Also, it gets rid of ATK, who should have never gotten another contract after blowing up Challenger.

  12. Re:Heat? on HP Reports Memory Resistor Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    If this is going to replace the transistor, it's also going to be used like RAM. Perhaps they won't stack it in that case, but heat transfer will be an issue if they do. Maybe they can embed some heat pipes in the stack.

  13. Goodbye Paypal on PayPal Freezes Cryptome's Account · · Score: 1

    I closed my paypal account and told them their policies sucked when they asked me why. I opened a Gunpal account instead (it was started because apypal banned gun sales, but it's useful for any transaction).

  14. This Way Leads to Failure on Shuttle Extension & Heavy Launcher Bill Proposed · · Score: 1

    This is stupid. Even with the extension, there won't be any flights for at least three years, because there aren't any external tanks left in the pipeline. NASA will be stuck in the past, and we will never leave Earth orbit because we will spending our moon money on make-work projects.

  15. Not a bad idea on Citibank Cancels Bank Account of Objectionable Blogger · · Score: 1

    I canceled my Citibank account for the same reason.

  16. 15 years Ago on Magicjack Loses Legal Attack Against Boing Boing · · Score: 1

    25 years ago, that headline would have made no sense.

  17. Alabama is good at some things on State of Alabama Fighting NASA's New Plan · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Will it involve spraying black people with firehoses? Because they know how to do that in Alabama.

  18. No Hacking Tools for iPad on Apple's Trend Away From Tinkering · · Score: 0, Troll

    Of course there won't be hacking tools for the iPad. It's not going to be on sale long enough for hackers to get one. It's the new Apple Newton with less flexibility. Only hardcore iFags are even looking at it, and they think it sucks. I suppose someone will tear it down and start reverse-engineering it with a logic analyzer, but it's not going to be worth the effort. Even Apple has much better hardware already shipping. They should have made up a MacBook Tablet or some such.

  19. China DDoS on China Slams Clinton's Call For Internet Freedom · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Given China's bottleneck of a firewall, I am surprised it hasn't been DDoS'ed. Routing their entire country through one node is an exploit just ripe for an attack.

  20. Re:Outrageous on Documentation Compliance Means MS Can Resume Collecting Protocol Royalties · · Score: 1

    An encyclopedia is more than simply a statement of facts. It includes essays and illustrations that have a creative aspect. Also it has a particular layout and artwork. That is what is copyrighted.

  21. Re:Heat Death on Universe Has 100x More Entropy Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    The universe is a closed system by definition.

  22. Re:Snow Leopard will be available in three days on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    Or, you could install Linux or FreeBSD on a PC.

  23. Re:Wa wa what? on Behind the 4GB Memory Limit In 32-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    Isn't DMA limited to 4GB on most devices? That would make it hard for a device to work with memory that is remapped. Linux does support 64GB with PAE on 32-bit, but the extra work to support PAE hurts performance. Even linux kernel folks recommend 64-bit when you get above 8GB or 16GB.

  24. Re:Apple's declining quality on Apple Tries To Gag Owner of Exploding iPod · · Score: 1

    There are lies, damn lies, and Apple.

  25. For Great Security! on Crowdsourcing Big Brother In Lancaster, PA · · Score: 1

    I have a rock that keeps tigers away. Haven't been attacked yet!
