  1. Whatever happened to the saying
    Look where you walk.

  2. Re:Whining about what, exactly? on Ask Slashdot: How Will You Handle Microsoft's New 'Cumulative' Windows Updates? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    Ditto regarding desktops, which I'm not too worried about, however on the Server Dept, not such a good idea.
    We have some older machines that we look after, that need to have the patches checked and blocked due to software/ hardware installed.

    Just hoping our patch mangement system will have a solution.

  3. Ditto, I just wish I could get a Priv that is not sold through Friggen optus in Australia.

  4. I forgot my password, could you tell me your mother's name again?

    mum

  5. Re: The caped crusader on Pow! With Supreme Court Rebuff, DC Comics Wins Batmobile Copyright Case (newsoxy.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess it depends on how big your 3d printer is.

  6. I know politicions are stupid but... on Draconian Aussie Science Censorship Law Takes Effect Next Month (theconversation.com) · · Score: 2

    I know politicians are stupid but this is getting ridiculous.
    This country is seriously going down the gurgler fast :(

    The Internet is for porn?

    Why is that even a question...

  8. Now if only they would start selling them overseas.

  9. Re:Time for a game of russian roulette ^ 2 on Fake Bomb Detector, Blamed For Hundreds of Deaths, Is Still In Use · · Score: 1

    Now we're talking. I was trying to come up with a better punishment than just 10 years, where he probably still gets to keep all the profit he made.

  10. whoops, missed the virtual machines bit

  11. Those sorts of people should just install one of the free VM products (QEMU (linux) Virtual PC (Windows)) available for their machine, install the os and only use it when required.
    There are also a few paid ones available.
    Do this would provide a greater level of security.

  12. Re:The message in question: on Busybox Deletes Systemd Support · · Score: 2

    "And for people who want to read through log files without having to become regex experts." ??? So people who just scan the entire text file and do a search in their viewer program could only do so with systemd? And here's me thinking that even vi allows a simple search on /var/log/message ...

    So I don't want to manually search a text file and your answer is that I should use another tool to manually search a text file? An editor no less reading a continuously changing file?

    Seriously someone who doesn't know how to use tail -F or cat and grep should NOT be admining a Unix based system.

  13. Only one thing stands out to me. on Breathalyzer Bike Lock Stops Drunken Cyclists In Their Tracks · · Score: 1

    The app to let your 'friends'/loved ones know that you are up to doing something that has a reasonable chance of ending out badly.

  14. Damn Youtube/uploader on Snowden Demystified: Can the Government See My Junk? · · Score: 2

    The uploader has not made this video available in your country. :( :(

    And who in their right mind (IT savy people) would use a TCP based VPN?
    There is plenty around that run over UDP.

  16. Re:Take your space on How Walking With Smartphones May Have Changed Pedestrian Etiquette · · Score: 1

    It doesn't hurt that I'm over two meters and twenty stone, of course.

    Of course this helps in other places too, like clubs and bars. Bump into someone they turn around with an angry riled up look, then they look up, their face goes oh shit, then they turn around again. Doorways suck though :(

    +1 interesting.
    Thanks for that.

  18. A combination on Ask Slashdot: Best Anti-Virus Software In 2015? Free Or Paid? · · Score: 1

    G'Day,
    I've been looking after PC's for clients for 20 odd years, I've seen lots of different AV's and malware software, and for the last 4 or 5 years using a combination has worked fine.
    Avast for the antivirus (free is fine) and malwarebytes for the malware protection. Running both has reduced the amount of call backs for fixing up machines due to nasties dramatically.
    Keep in mind they are different products covering a different scope of nasties.

  19. huh?? on Microsoft Announces Office 2016 and Office For Windows 10 Coming Later This Year · · Score: 1, Interesting

    WTF happened to Office 365 (the software) and their subscription model?? Not going so well on the corporate side??

  20. Re:It's official ... on Asus Wireless Routers Can Be Exploited By Anyone Inside the Network · · Score: 1

    It makes me wonder why more router manufacturers don't use Linux or BSD derivatives for their firmware instead of writing garbage in-house

    But that's the Thing.
    They are running a Linux kernel, but stuffing around with how the system boots, what services are running on it (using their dodgy apps) and their incorrectly setup firewall rules.

  21. Re:What does that big reg button do? on North Korean Internet Is Down · · Score: 1

    Or just use Preview properly.

  22. Re:Threatpost, professional, processes on Hackers Used Nasty "SMB Worm" Attack Toolkit Against Sony · · Score: 1

    That isolates the VM from being attacked from outside, AND allows the developer to work without causing problems to other people on the net.

    Only if the VM is setup properly

  23. phone apps may help on Have a Wi-Fi-Enabled Phone? Stores Are Tracking You · · Score: 1

    I have a app for my blackberry that turns wifi on and off depending at what mobile towers (even groups) i am within range of.

    I have a bold 9700. I have sent a sms to all in my contact book accidentally twice in the 2.5 years that I have had it. It is actually quite an easy mistake to make.
