  1. Prevention? on Open Source Self-Healing Software For Virtual Machines · · Score: 1

    The software then prevents the invader from ever infecting the computer again.

    Does this mean it's going to fix bad SSH/FTP configurations, or change insecure passwords? Didn't think so.

  2. "An anonymous reader writes" on Longtime Debian Developer Tollef Fog Heen Resigns From Systemd Maintainer Team · · Score: 0

    He probably wrote the article himself, and thought that by posting it as AC, that we wouldn't see through the attention-whoring. Honestly, I don't care what some random linux dev does with himself. Nobody cared when I was a linux dev (or when I quit), so why should I care about him. It's not like he's Linus Torvalds or something. Honestly...

  3. Caller ID spoofing on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With VoIP Fraud/Phishing Scams? · · Score: 1

    In the same fashion that ISPs should be using Source Path Verification, TelCos shouldn't be allowing their its users to change (or cause) their Caller ID to something that's not their phone number. Petition the government to force ISPs and TelCos to clean up their act.

  4. Is this an April Fools joke?

  5. Won't last long... on Americans Rejoice At Lower Gas Prices · · Score: 0

    ... if Canada has taught me anything, it'll be back to where it was by Wednesday. Low gas prices are nothing more than a scam by the gas station retailers to get people to buy gas and use the mini-mart.

  6. Re:First franchise in 17 years? on Blizzard Announces Overwatch, a First-Person Shooter · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they did... Some FPS MMO called Titan. (shrugs)

  7. First franchise in 17 years? on Blizzard Announces Overwatch, a First-Person Shooter · · Score: 1

    Umm, didn't Blizzard just recently can a game they were working on? I can't remember the name off-hand, but I'm fairly sure this wasn't their first attempt at a new IP in the past 15+ years.

  8. Re:Only three days? on Denuvo DRM Challenges Game Crackers · · Score: 2

    Last time I checked, Spyro YotD was cracked. All they had to do was bypass the modchip checks. I had a burned copy.

  9. Re:in Soviet Russia, TV watches you! on Smart Meters and New IoT Devices Cause Serious Concern · · Score: 1

    Doesn't help that the coax you use to watch tv can also be used for data. Ethernet isn't necessary for these things to work. Think about it.

  10. Say something nice about systemd on Ask Slashdot: Can You Say Something Nice About Systemd? · · Score: 1

    No.

    Stop harassing me to use your shitty software.

    Regards,

    A gentoo user

  11. Re:Don't care on Shooting At Canadian Parliament · · Score: 1

    Hear hear... My google news feed is packed with this stuff. I don't need slashdot to tell me what happened.

  12. Re:Government Dictionary on Facebook To DEA: Stop Using Phony Profiles To Nab Criminals · · Score: 2

    Easy to cure, when making new friends just ask: Are you a cop?

    The police (or feds) don't have to answer that truthfully.

  13. Buck Feta.

  14. Obligatory XKCD on Lead Mir Developer: 'Mir More Relevant Than Wayland In Two Years' · · Score: 1

    http://xkcd.com/927/

    I'll stick with Xorg, kthx.

  15. Re:Wait... on Apple Releases CUPS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    No I'm not...

  16. Wait... on Apple Releases CUPS 2.0 · · Score: -1, Troll

    so you mean to tell me that Apple is the developer of CUPS? No wonder it's a broken clusterfuck.

  17. No surprise there... on Netflix Video Speed On FiOS Doubles After Netflix-Verizon Deal · · Score: 2

    Netflix Video Speed On FiOS Doubles After Netflix-Verizon Deal

    We all knew that ISPs were throttling netflix. We called them liars after they repeatedly lied to the FCC. Netflix ponies up some dough and now speeds are roughly what they should have been in the first place. Why should we be surprised now?

  18. People must be blind on Windows Flaw Allowed Hackers To Spy On NATO, Ukraine, Others · · Score: 1

    User clicks on a malicious PPT file, which installs a backdoor. Don't people check task manager for unscrupulous executables running on their systems?

  19. Doesn't bother me. on ChromeOS Will No Longer Support Ext2/3/4 On External Drives/SD Cards · · Score: 1

    9 times out of 10, a SD card is used in a phone or camera, or plugged into a Windows PC, all of which assume or expect the card to be formatted with vfat. So what if they don't allow ext on a SD card? Doesn't bother me.

  20. Buck Feta. on Four Dutch Uberpop Taxi Drivers Arrested, Fined · · Score: 1

    Buck Feta.

  21. Citation needed on How Spurious Wikipedia Edits Can Attach a Name To a Scandal, 35 Years On · · Score: 1

    This could all have been avoided if the citation whores at wikipedia actually gave a shit about random articles instead of whoring edits (and reverting edits they didn't make) on a small handful of articles.

  22. embryonic stem cells on Scientists Coax Human Embryonic Stem Cells Into Making Insulin · · Score: 0

    Abort that fetus today, you could save a diabetic person's foot...

  23. Butt-hurt on Lennart Poettering: Open Source Community "Quite a Sick Place To Be In" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He's just butt-hurt that Gentoo won't make systemd it's default init manager.

  24. Re:Much of the failure was in explaining... on Why the FCC Will Probably Ignore the Public On Network Neutrality · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Can't put all the blame on the repub-tards... The demo-tards are equally at fault.

  25. Re:Expected on Why the FCC Will Probably Ignore the Public On Network Neutrality · · Score: 4, Informative

    The CRTC is no different. Managed by former Rogers/Bell/Telus executives.
