  1. You just don't get it... on The Correct Response To Photo Hack Victim-Blamers · · Score: 1

    You all just don't get it... thanks to iCloud, everything you think you deleted is still there!

    For example, this has happened to my girlfriend and her friend. They both bought the new Iphone 6, well my GF got the 6 plus and her friend got the regular 6, and as their backups were downloading from icloud, guess what downloaded as well?

    All the nudy pics they have been sending and receiving since they the iCloud service came about. They both delete the text messages and photos, and they never save anything. It even displayed the text messages from way back, too. The iCloud still has them and they may show up next time you get a new iPhone and download from the iCloud.

    The downloading of old photos you thought you deleted is a glitch, but the fact that they are still there is not a glitch. iCloud, OneDrive, etc. all keep that stuff even if you "delete" it.

    So, who's to say that the photos they found weren't photos the celebs keep, because why keep a nude photo of yourself? It's because they keep it even if you want it deleted!

  2. Re:Don't worry guys... on Ubisoft Claims CPU Specs a Limiting Factor In Assassin's Creed Unity On Consoles · · Score: 1

    That's not really the point... this is against AMD making it difficult for a developer to put an unoptimized game out as fast as possible. I blame MS and Sony for hogging resources. I remember in PSX/PS2 and Dreamcast that the "OS" was nearly non-existent when the game was running. All I know is that in 2015, AMD needs something big to be a viable option - they are far from being a "competitor" to intel as they stand right now.

  4. Regardless of it, we must still pay... on Numerous Methane Leaks Found On Atlantic Sea Floor · · Score: 2

    Regardless if it is all naturally occurring seepage or if man contributed to exacerbating seepage, we must still be taxed to pay not just carbon credits but methane credits.

  5. Re:Might cause a re-thinking of the F-35 on Long-Wave Radar Can Take the Stealth From Stealth Technology · · Score: 1

    And then they are going to say that the whole purpose of the F35 was to not absorb radar waves, but absorb money waves.

  6. Re: Wow ... on A 24-Year-Old Scammed Apple 42 Times In 16 Different States · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not really, I know people who write POS code for a company that competes with NCR. They have no ties to banks. it's all about talking to processors, like VISA, Mastercard, etc.

    I guess people are trying to pin this on the bank because banks are evil. #wallstreet #99% #ideserverwhatyouworkedfor #givemestuff

  7. Re:They're not a corporation on Meet the Muslim-American Leaders the FBI and NSA Have Been Spying On · · Score: 1

    Not just that, they have to be heavy donors to a SuperPAC in order to have basic rights...

  8. Re:Mark of times on The Rise and Fall of the Cheat Code · · Score: 1

    True, but you needed KoTR and be level 99 to have a chance in beating Ruby or Emerald.

  9. But has anything changed becaose of this? NO! on Why Snowden Did Right · · Score: 1

    They are still tapping phones, they are still encroaching on our very-so-precious privacy. I don't want NSA to hear me talk sex with a russian prostitute overseas. It's my right as an American to do what I want behind closed doors....

    Snowden is just popular because it's cool to disrupt the status-quo and by doing so, he is therefore part of the status-quo - meaning nothing has changed and nothing will ever change because there is nothing that needs to be changed...

  10. Re:Why not force frackers to use salt water instea on California City Considers Restarting Desalination Plant To Fight Drought · · Score: 1

    With that logic... why don't we drink salt water... there are oceans filled with that stuff...

  11. Re:If Comcast were Exxon on Netflix Blinks, Will Pay Comcast For Network Access · · Score: 1

    In mobbish term it is called "protection money".

    It'd be a shame if something bad were to happen to all of this streaming data...

  12. There are other rocks also on More Details About Mars Mystery Rock · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you look in the photo provided by CNN in the article, look at the rock which casts a shadow near the top left corner of the photo.

    That same rock is there in the newer photo with the donut-rock. Now, just look down a little bit and slight right you will see a darker spot that wasn't that dark in the earlier picture and it appears to cast a shadow. Therefore, there are more rocks (at least two) that weren't there before.

  13. Charlie Stross was right! on Bitcoin Payments Go Live At Overstock — Two Quarters Early · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bitcoin is the Libertarian's Currency!

    Taken from his rant:

    "Libertarians love it because it pushes the same buttons as their gold fetish and it doesn't look like a "Fiat currency". You can visualize it as some kind of scarce precious data resource, sort of a digital equivalent of gold. Nation-states don't control the supply of it, so it promises to bypass central banks. "

  14. Not only that, the yield of such intrinsic metals on these asteriods may literally be a thousand times higher than current yields here.

    Of course, very high yields of such metals can be very detrimental to the market because t he whole premise of mining is to have low availability to make extreme mining ventures viable.. Why continue spending billions of dollars in mining palladium, iridium, if the value drops to that of gold prices?

  15. Re:Is this faked too? on Panoramic Picture Taken By China's Moon Lander · · Score: 2

    Or that studio out in Roswell where they shot the landings...

  16. The malwar was uncovered when... on International Space Station Infected With Malware Carried By Russian Astronauts · · Score: 2

    The malware was uncovered when the astronauts started getting pop-up ads about girls within the area wanting to hook up.

  17. Big advancement over previous method in catching.. on Researchers Use Computer-Generated 10-Year-Old Girl To Catch Online Predators · · Score: 1

    Prior to computers we had to use pull-string dolls.

    Our methods were presented in this documentary:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1194017/

    but during the course of filming we had to use live bait and then the operation went down the tubes.

  18. And where will they get the natural gas??? RUSSIA! on Stung By Scandal, South Korea Weighs Up Cost of Curbing Nuclear Power · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yep.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Russia is wetting themselves as more and more countries are abandoning nuclear power and switching to natural gas, which Russia has a monopoly over in Asia.

  19. We Need to move away from paper-based identity on Experian Sold Social Security Numbers To ID Theft Service · · Score: 0

    WE need to switch to DNA-based identification, where computers can lift your DNA sample on the fly to confirm your identity rather than rely on a number and piece of paper that can be easily duplicated.

  20. Looks European.... cue the conspiracy... on New High Tech $100 Bills Start To Circulate Today · · Score: 0

    The new $100 bill looks similar to the euro bill. Who knows, pretty soon all of our currency will look the same and eventually become one currency, and we all know what that will bring...

  21. This just in!!! on Shots Fired At US Capitol · · Score: 1

    Shot's fired at the US capital!

    No reports of injuries since the town has been shut down.

    The town is now on lock down and suspect has been apprehended since he was the only person in town...

  22. Re:Netherlands says he is wrong on Neil deGrasse Tyson Says Private Business Will Not Open the Space Frontier · · Score: 1

    This is what I was going to say lol. History has proven him wrong. Of course, it is only a matter of time until a company will have technologically progressed enough to actually go an mine an asteroid since that is currently the only economically viable endeavour for space travelling. We need precious metals.

  23. Re:Hormone therapy? on Bradley Manning Wants To Live As a Woman · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes. So as to avoid cruel and unusual punishment at a constitutional level, prisons have to provide adequate health care. Hell, it's worth it, you can get free chemo therapy, heart surgery, etc. Just recently, a judge struck down a law in Wisconsin that prohibited hormone therapy for inmates because it was unconstitutional.

  24. Been there, done that... Let me tell you about DE on Ask Slashdot: How Important Is Advanced Math In a CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    In case you haven't noticed by now... differential equations is where math meets the real world.

    It is how we can translate a natural phenomenon into a math equation to figure out problems.

    Being able to look at problems and be able to translate that into an equation into which the problem can then be solved is a vital in engineering.

    I suggest you take Linear Algebra, too.

  25. Re:Um... on Wrong Fuel Chokes Presidential Limo · · Score: 5, Funny

    The reason automatics rule in the US is because no one has time to use a manual. We are all busy texting, talking on the phone, eating, watching movies and sleeping. Sometimes, a few of those things at the same time... We only have two hands a knee to drive with!
