  1. You have a log going back over a decade of every message you sent using an app that was first released in 2011?

    Interesting...

    "No" would have worked just as well as all of that. But you keep dragging those goalposts around, if it makes you happy.

    You have a $100 smart phone that takes 12 megapixel photos in the dark?

  4. TIL the appellation "Anonymous Coward" doesn't actually mean anything.

  5. Re:Victoria Falls... on A Man Spent $5,000 of His Own Money To Put Zimbabwe on Street View (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You know, there's a bungee jump, cafe and gift shop on the Victoria Falls Bridge these days...

  6. Yeah, I'm sure that total loser is crying into his, e.g., two and million dollars from being such a total loser last year.

    Lord Slashdot, may we please have an "Ignorant" moderation choice?

    Damaging aquifers? Contaminating water tables? Subsidence? Sinkholes? Triggering earthquakes? ...Yeah, no need to check for any of that, right?

  12. Re:Per the Daily Mail... on UK Parliament Seizes Cache of Facebook Internal Papers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    One of the things that help the Daily Mail earn the bottom-of-the-barrel reputation they have is the way they steal anything that could pass for "real" journalism from other publications.

    The article you posted, for example, is cribbed entirely from the BBC and Guardian.

    Fortunately, there will be no need for driver's licences in the worker's utopia you're painting here, since there will be only one road. From your house, to the factory!!

    One way!!!

    This wasn't somewhere else or "nearby" though. This was "In the directory that is used for storing temporary files".

    It's analogous to storing not-particularly-important email in the folder your email client calls "Junk" and then being surprised when they get irretrievably deleted.

    Sample bias right there, though. The ones who are still "quick on their feet", both mentally and physically (since the two usually go together), won't be letting anyone stick them in a nursing home.

    More like about eight minutes before we die.

    Not nearly as funny as installing WireShark on that VM first, and then handing the IP address of his/her employer to the relevant authorities
