Yeah, is not like chirstians have ever killed anybody, right?.
All of this religion poiting to other religions is beyond stupid, they are all ways to control people. There are over 5000 gods being prayed on earth, but yours is the only real one... give me a break.
Yes.. it's important enough that it should be in the headline. It's just about the most salient fact about this exploit.
Well, i disagree with you, it is not a Jailbroken malware, it is an iOS malware, you can't put everything in the title.
Everyone with 20 seconds will know that it affects only Jailbroken devices.
Do we have to explain that "has started" means that he's working on it, "(a)lmost available" means it's not done yet, and that those two conditions are not mutually exclusive?
"Has started" means it just began, and "almost available" means that it is almost done, for most things, such as developing an "Open Source, Collaborative Rich-Text, Web-Based Editor Almost Available", those two are mutually exclusive.
The thing that pisses me off about Windows 10 is the apparent lack of control the user has with their own machine. Exhibit A: http://www.tenforums.com/attac...
Check out the real-time protection option. "You can turn it off temporarily, but if it's off for a while, we'll turn it back on automatically." What bullshit is that? First, it doesn't tell you what it constitutes as "a while". A day? A week? A month? Second, the fact that it believes that power users are extinct and might have an edge-case for permanently disabling it is ridiculous. It's based off of Microsoft Security Essentials, and I disabled the real-time protection when installed on Win 7 on my netbook because it was just too much for the poor little Atom processor to deal with. If I needed to scan something, I'd do it on-demand. Here, I have no permanent solution because Windows 10 thinks it knows better than my situation.
Windows 10 is peppered with many other areas which make me feel less in control than I used to. I know that I can't have full control when running a proprietary system, but it's all about degrees, and Win 10 feels far less catered for power users than Win 7.
And to be fair, no power user will run a PC, specially a Windows PC without an AV, plus activating the an AV ocasionally is pointless, if it isn't on all the time, why putting it on anytime?

That's weird, i have another AV installed on mine since install and Windows Defender is disabled since then.
Maybe you missed that Microsoft have made it increasingly difficult and misleading to get around setting and and logging into a Microsoft account. Maybe you missed that not all the snooping can be turned off. Or maybe you're just trolling.
Oh yeah, i know, the "Switch to local account" feature is misleading and hidden. Or maybe you just make up bullshit..., mmm, i wonder which one is it.
I mean, i get it, you don't like MS, but they screw up really often for you to make up imaginary bullshit to bitch about.
Wrong, since Windows source is closed there could be privacy invading components that are unknown. You fail at comprehending the problem
As the AC said, did you checked the Linux source code to check for "privacy" invading components?, know anyone that did it?, if OSS source code would be checked as much as the community claims it is, there would be several years old bugs on massive components like OpenSSL and such. Don't get me wrong, you could do it if you want to, there's just not that many people willing to do it.
If you can use Linux, you can easily disable any feature you don't like on Windows
For those not using the corporate version please share the steps for disabling telemetry. Another Slashdotter posted an interesting video that captured packets when programs, such as calculator, were opened. This was with the settings as private as they could be made: Cortana off, smartscreen off, bug reporting off, everything he could find turned off.
... or just disable the features you don't like... like you could have done all along. If you can use Linux, you can disable any feature you don't like from Windows.
Except that in Windows 10, you can't. There are many things for which there are no settings to disable them. And even you dig deep, it still doesn't work. But don't take my word for it. Try it.
Open Task Manager and kill Cortana. It immediately comes back. This is just one example of Microsoft going back to the old scam they used years ago, "We can't remove Internet Explorer because it's too deeply embedded in the OS".
So?, what's the problem?, just don't use it, i don't use neither IE nor Edge they are just there, what's the problem?.
Couple days of reading articles about Windows 10 that is, not to read the checkboxes. Only someone who trusts Microsoft would trust those checkboxes to do what they say.
So is like you can't win, if there are no options, it's because you don't have options, if you have options, then they don't work on purpose, Why would you even consider using Windows in the first place?
Just a day or two ago/. does the responsible thing and posts an article that actually discusses what is going on and shows that it's really not that big a deal. The very next day they're bad to spreading fud. Make up your mind, and stop trying to have it both ways.
So basically install the next piece of global spyware shit that Windows is, then spend a few days reading how to disable all the spyware shit. Then hope that it was all of it because you can never know. It is closed source for a reason.
Here have this true post that got modded -1 for literally being factual. It also was beneath an "account holder" that got modded 0. Facts.
Everybody should begin their posts with those links, see if you can even see Slashdot at all without moving the sliders to see -1 and 0 modded posts.,,|,,
And if you even say haha derp Windows rules... you are looking at Insightful +5. Facebook and Twitter buttons... and lies, go figure.
Couple of days of reading?, like you could just click the damn "Privacy options" link at install time and uncheck the 4 or 5 options. I get it, you're used to Linux, where you need 743 command line commands to do anything, but, c'mon
... or just disable the features you don't like... like you could have done all along. If you can use Linux, you can disable any feature you don't like from Windows.
Hmm, maybe you missed the local account feature, which makes the email/social account integration optional, and you may have not heard that you can choose not to share your data. If you can use Linux, you can easily disable any feature you don't like on Windows
Slashdot Mirror
You can't be serious....
Is it "Odlanor" or "Oldanor"?
The algorithm to find girls attracted to him can be represented by a simple: "return false;"
Those aren't the only options. The other option if to FUCK YOUTUBE.
You beat me to it.
Where did the GP claim some other religion was better? What does the truthfulness of any religion have to do with the points GP made?
Yeah, you'll see, every religion is the same, criticizing one and only one, is stupid.
Chop off Hands.
Kill atheists.
Overtax Jews and Christians, then kill them.
Kill Buddhists.
Kill Hinduists.
All the "relgion of peace".
Yeah, is not like chirstians have ever killed anybody, right?. All of this religion poiting to other religions is beyond stupid, they are all ways to control people. There are over 5000 gods being prayed on earth, but yours is the only real one... give me a break.
Religion fiiiiiiight!!!!

Headline leaves out the fact that this isn't just any old iOS malware. It affects only *jailbroken* devices.
That's a pretty important distinction.
So important that you couldn't get to the third line were it is clearly stated.
Is there anybody here that doesn't use at least ONE ad blocker?
"Has started" means it just began
Yes.
"almost available" means that it is almost done
Yes.
for most things, such as developing (a buzz-word rich software product), those two are mutually exclusive.
Steaming crock of shit. (How much software have _you_ actually developed? Nothing that's non-trivial gets done that quick.)
Considering that you're nothing more than just another internet troll, way more than you. Now go eat a dick, asshole.
If the whole thing takes a week to code, both can be true on Wednesday.
Exactly, although, i doubt it willl just take a week.

The title says "Almost available" and the body says "has started", which one is it?.
