  1. "NTP works just fine" on "Father Time" Gets Another Year At NTP From Linux Foundation · · Score: 1

    Uh, no. NTP needs to be redesigned so it doesn't use UDP anymore so we can stop worrying about spoofing and amplification/recursion attacks.

  2. Re:Doesn't surprise me on SteamOS Has Dropped Support For Suspend · · Score: 1

    Before you have a heart attack, I should warn you that I am not the AC posting here. And yes, when linux hibernates, it pushes memory to swap. If you don't have enough swap during a hibernate, the system treats its as a OOM condition, and finds the largest app to close, which is usually X or your browser. Also, if you think that suspend or hibernate "just work" without having to configure your system to do it, then you're a hand-holding fedora/ubuntu user and have no idea how linux really works.

  3. Re:Doesn't surprise me on SteamOS Has Dropped Support For Suspend · · Score: 0

    Suspend and hibernate work great for me on Windows... Linux on the other hand requires all sorts of kernel and bootloader changes, plus god forbid you use a lot of memory to start with, and find out half your apps got forcefully terminated because they couldn't fit in swap space.

  4. He's right though... on Donald Trump Thinks Going To Mars Would Be "Wonderful" But There Is a Catch · · Score: 1

    Sure, we're doomed here, global warming and all that bs... and colonization/terraforming is a while away from now, so we should deal with our crap at home then think about getting off this stinking rock.

  5. Re:Nothing wrong with XKCD, but... on XKCD Author's New Unpublished Book Becomes Scientific Best-Seller · · Score: 1

    By those same standards, do you think Billary is going to win "because woman"? Or Donald Trump "because rich white guy from TV"?

  6. Nothing wrong with XKCD, but... on XKCD Author's New Unpublished Book Becomes Scientific Best-Seller · · Score: 1, Insightful

    ... isn't it a little stupid to be giving awards to a book that isn't published yet? That's like giving an unfinished indie game the award of "game of the year"...

    oh wait. That's actually happened before.

  7. Old news on AT&T Helped the NSA Spy On Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Isn't this a little old by this point? I mean, we've known that the NSA taps off every CO at the optical level for about as long as the timeframe you're suggesting... if you're talking phones, even longer.

  8. Vehicle support? on England To Test "Electric Motorways" · · Score: 1

    And which vehicles will support this method of charging? How about currently? Why waste the money on a road for a feature that nothing supports.

  9. Re:I don't see a problem... on Lenovo Installed Software On Laptops That Persisted After Complete Wipes · · Score: 1

    "I lost my drivers USB key"

  10. Bye... on Russian Government Threatening To Block Reddit Over Cannabis · · Score: 1

    ... Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. And don't think of coming back, we don't give a shit if you create your own internet.

  11. I don't see a problem... on Lenovo Installed Software On Laptops That Persisted After Complete Wipes · · Score: 1

    ... as long as it's constrained to only device drivers. That way we're not stuck, especially considering people are ditching optical drives.

  12. Stop the maddness and shitcan java on Oracle Exec: Stop Sending Vulnerability Reports · · Score: 1

    Problem solved.

  13. gg qnx on BlackBerry Denies QNX Was To Blame In Jeep Cherokee Hack · · Score: 0

    exec("/bin/sh", 0, CLONE_PERM) is all it would take to get you a root shell on the box.

  14. Re:Nothing Novel Here on Latest Samy Kamkar Hack Unlocks Most Cars · · Score: 0

    yeah fuck this guy.

  15. Re:Compelling products from Detroit? unlikely on Tesla Presses Its Case On Fuel Standards · · Score: 0

    If you can fit in one. I'm 6'2" and I had my shins against the dashboard with the seat all the way back, my head against my knees, my head against the roof, and i couldn't get the door closed. I swear those things are made for "little people"...

  16. MPTCP vs MLPPP? on In Korea, Smartphones Use Multipath TCP To Reach 1 Gbps · · Score: 1

    Anyone know what the difference is? They both sound like link bonding to me.

  17. So stop using the app... on GasBuddy Has a New Privacy Policy (Spoiler: Not As Customer Friendly) · · Score: 0

    They have a website, you know...

  18. Re:Not Legal Persons on NY Judge Rules Research Chimps Are Not 'Legal Persons' · · Score: 0
  19. Re:New Graphics Card has no Linux Drivers on On Linux, $550 Radeon R9 Fury Competes With $200~350 NVIDIA GPUs · · Score: 0

    Not always, I believe the STRIX cards needed a new driver or else they would get stuck in slow-mo mode as well.

  20. Re:Definitely not the least used key on Ask Slashdot: Why Is the Caps Lock Key Still So Prominent On Keyboards? · · Score: 0

    Win + Pause opens the system properties window.

    Good riddance.

  23. Re:/system/lib/libstagefright* on 'Stagefright' Flaw: Compromise Android With Just a Text · · Score: 0

    It still works... you embed an image with a url to a php script. Image gets loaded on the client, and the remote luser gets all the goodies that come with an internet fetch. (IP, client software and version, etc)

  24. Re:Huh? on Twitter Yanks Tweets That Repeat Copyrighted Joke · · Score: 0

    Actually, I tried reading it, and I'm confused. Is this even proper english?
