  1. But then there'd be no executives left! Oh...right..then wealth would be redistributed and ...ah

  2. Fines don't stop the rich. Jail Time folks. Jail Time for the entire Executive board. Make people take Responsibility. Cut all outside access until they get out and I'm not talking Brock Turner sentencing. I'm talking possession of drugs where you get more years than child rapists. Possession of Data.

  3. Malware been downloading crap to your computer disguised as JPG and ZIP for years, and now we've gone full circle and become the malware

  4. Given how easily the Russian Trolls descended upon Social Media and went largely undetected, it comes to no surprise to me that ads are not screened. All About Money. Nothing to see new and inventive here.

  5. Texting while Driving in my State is Illegal on Emails While Commuting 'Should Count as Work', Researchers Say (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    *satire* So if I get a ticket for Texting while Driving do I submit the ticket to my employer to pick up the cost of the ticket?

  6. Injuries are Fake News! on Has Video Refereeing Ruined The World Cup? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    So they are focusing on Video Play Recording instead of Players Faking Injuries for the sake of what? What's even the point? Why do people let it happen? How Soft are these players? If anything Video Play Recording should be used to Shame those Faking Injuries.

  7. Insert Simpsons Meme Here on Are Widescreen Laptops Dumb? (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    hmmmmm The Screen Resolution on our Phones are Different.... Its the Laptops that are Wrong!

  8. Bleeding Sarcasm xd Not Surprised that the 10 or so people still on Windows 8 took this long to solve it.

  9. Thoughts and Prayers to that bold 2% on Nearly a Third of Tech Workers Are Ready To #DeleteFacebook (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    -2 percent of Facebook employees said they would delete Facebook. I think we all know how this will end for them. I'm only doing the politically correct thing and sending Thoughts and Prayers.

  10. While I feel this is a great step on paper, I will be holding my breath until we see how it turns out in practice. But I can already see the headline, Chinese made US electronic voting scantron machine manufacturer infiltrated by Russians using hack similar to ATM skimming. While I really hope not, I can't help but this this is what it'll become.

  11. Something Something, Car Emission Reports...

  12. I guess here is your big chance to fuck us without retaliation. Also Dear Russia, I guess you all were right to do what you did all along.

  13. As Always, Someone has to say it. on Chevrolet To Offer Unlimited Data Plan With Cars (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Wonder how secure this is.....

  14. Father Quote: "I don't know why they have to make a car that does that." Please Remove this Article from Slashdot. The Father is making a money grab

  15. I saw from the original article that: Quote "" 1. We used an open-source library that allowed us to thread emails from lists that ranged from support emails for Pidgin (an instant messaging client) to UCLA’s Religion Law list. Many of the larger lists revolved around open source software and operating systems (e.g., Python, CentOS). We used Regular Expressions to extract closings from these emails, and were thus able to find how different closings correlated with response rate. End Quote. Anyone able to dig up just stats on support emails for Pidgin? I would hope that is 100% responses due to it being a support email. I can tell you within my support department, it doesn't matter what I end my email in; We have 100% response rate.

  16. And yet this machine has been trying to tell us we don't need Encryption? Clearly the line it redrawn to the semi-public eye.

  17. What about Non-H1-B Salaries on Indian IT Sector Warns Against US Visa Bill (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I would love a default doubling to our salaries (Though an important note is that is would not be close to 130,000). I might be bias that I am in Illinois, but you all probably know our situation right now. How are employer's saving money with this? or even before this? I don't have too much knowledge on what else that 130,000 or H1-B in general entails so if someone could fill me in on that, that'd be awesome.

  19. This is how it starts on Google Removes Plugin Controls From Chrome, Reports Claim (ghacks.net) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I get on one hand it saves some headaches to the average end user who doesn't care what plugins are installed. But on the other hand...The only reason to hide plugins is because you're doing something you don't want us to see. A plugin whose code you don't want us to delve into and figure out what it actually is doing. Specifically Sending Private Data about History and censoring. We'll see how far this gets. Thanks Google.

  20. It did more than that. on Windows 10 Update Broke DHCP, Knocked Users Off the Internet (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It Cleared out my Statically set Ethernet Connections on my NIC. I was confused that my Router told me I wasn't my static address. Logged into my Router GUI and sure enough there I was floundering with the wrong address. And then like others report, I had to restart my DHCP Service. And as a thing to note, Windows Network Troubleshooting actually worked for the first time, and said your DHCP Service is off and Fixed it. It ACTUALLY fixed it. Maybe this was all a test of their Troubleshooter.

  21. Seinman we use some old AMX touch panels here at our University and we have to reboot them once a week on Monday else they will stop responding on the same 40% of the touch panel (Straight through the middle). Which if that was used for voting; it would likely block someone from voting their way.

  22. Like that $300 book of pictures of just their products?

    Given the last response, anyone else have a bad feeling that on November 8th we're going to have a Blackout in America?

  25. I can agree that Comcast is suing Nashville because it would allow a 3rd party to just mess with their equipment. IE: Jump a few months down the road when the 3rd party severs a line and has an undefined number of Comcast subscribers without TV and Internet for X number of days. I see why they want to avoid this. But the other part of me knows they just don't want to deal with Competition.
