  1. The disclosure was fine. on Heartbleed Sparks 'Responsible' Disclosure Debate · · Score: 0

    Lite a fire under everyone butts and it got fixed and deployed in hours. I see nothing wrong with this. Maybe it's time to crank up the heat.

  2. Cracking crypto and giving it to Exxon. on Computing a Winner, Fusion a Loser In US Science Budget · · Score: 1

    And the conversation goes something like this:

    "We must make sure those little shits have no private communication and Exxon dominates energy production. If those dirty unwashed masses where every to gain political control and self sufficiency it would be the end for all of us."

  3. Thugs have no authority. The are responsible for the crimes they commit and should be jailed immediately.

  4. Re: Lincense wars in... on FSF's Richard Stallman Calls LLVM a 'Terrible Setback' · · Score: 1

    BSD allows for binary only distributions. Does anyone remember the UNIX fork wars? The GPL prevents that.

  5. Exactly how???? on Microsoft Remotely Deleted Tor From Windows Machines To Stop Botnet · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Exactly how does Microsoft gain access and remove software? Well I guess that means Microsoft has complete control of other people PCs. What kind of F@#$%^ up nightmare is this?

  6. Warrant? No. on Insight On FBI Hacking Ops · · Score: 1

    Warrant? No. Fire them yesterday.

    "Even though investigators suspected that Mo was in Iran, the uncertainty around his identity and location complicated the case. Had he turned out to be a U.S. citizen or a foreigner living within the country, a search conducted without a warrant could have jeopardized his prosecution."

  7. Re:One word on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Convince Management To Hire More IT Staff? · · Score: 1

    Quit and leave abruptly.

    Find another job first.

  8. Another political prisoner. on Anonymous Member Sentenced For Joining DDoS Attack For One Minute · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Washington needs to be torn down brick by brick.

    Congress approval rating: 6% - You're on notice.
    Cut, fire, repeal, repeat......

  9. Enough already. on Red Hat Releases Ceylon Language 1.0.0 · · Score: 1

    There are to many programming languages.

  10. Is this story true? on Snowden Used Social Engineering To Get Classified Documents · · Score: 2

    Is this story true? I have no reason to believe this at all. Admins don't need users passwords. Admins "own" the systems that they work on and can become any user they want to be without passwords.

    The NSA lies. If we are to believe anything that comes out of that agency they better have hard evidence verified by the third source if one exists. This is a claim, nothing else.

  11. Yay Firefox! on Google To Block Local Chrome Extensions On Windows Starting In January · · Score: 1

    And another corp degrades their products and starts trend toward abandonment.

  12. Windows 8.x is horrible! on Microsoft Donates Windows 8.1 To Nonprofit Organizations · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wouldn't use it if it was free. Windows 8.x is the most horrible operating system I have ever experienced. I can't think of a worse OS. If this doesn't end the Windows OS I don't know what will. It was so frustrating I returned the laptop. The replacement system will be a Mac and not because it was my first choice. It will be a Mac because Windows 8.x is unusable.

  13. Throw down. on Welcome to the Goodwill Computer Museum (Video) · · Score: 1

    I have a:
    TRS-80 model III
    2 Commodore 64s
    Mac SE/30

    I'm proud of my little collection. I wish I could find a PET.

  14. Shut the whole thing down. on The Pentagon May Retire "Yoda," Its 92-Year-Old Futurist · · Score: 1

    Yesterday.

  15. Re:Ugh on Debian To Replace SysVinit, Switch To Systemd Or Upstart · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yeah, SysVinit is not only fine but preferable. It's simple and effective. I see no reason to change.

  16. Why spy? Business. on NSA Director Wants Threat Data Sharing With Private Sector · · Score: 2

    This has nothing to do with terrorist. This is about business. The American people are getting ripped off and people want to do something about it. How to prevent change? Spy on everyone and head off any political moment to change market and legal rules. The corps asked for this spying technology. This whole thing stinks of fascism.

  17. That's high frequency trade. on Somebody Stole 7 Milliseconds From the Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    The industry standard for high frequency trading is 3ms. They have these crazy algos reading news in real time, making predictions, and performing end to end execution in 3 ms. That's your economy on crack. They should end it all.

  18. Why does the DEA even exist! on DEA Argues Oregonians Have No Protected Privacy Interest In Prescription Records · · Score: 1

    Get rid of them all! Billion saved! Hurray!

  19. Re:Illusion of privacy on Google To Encrypt All Keyword Searches · · Score: 1

    Agreed. It's over.

  20. Re:This could be a good thing. on Cyanogen Mod Goes Commercial To Make "Available On Everything, To Everyone" · · Score: 1

    OK, point taken. If they hurt the users someone else can fork the project.

  21. This could be a good thing. on Cyanogen Mod Goes Commercial To Make "Available On Everything, To Everyone" · · Score: 1

    Hey, people getting paid to do good work, how's it that a bad thing? The GPL and getting paid for good work can co-exist. It probably needs to.

  22. Convicted for resisting A FAKE SYSTEM! on Indiana Man Gets 8 Months For Teaching How To Beat Polygraph Tests · · Score: 1

    The people in charge are the most stupid among us. Fire them. Fire them all.

  23. When No-Techs Speak. on Snowden Spoofed Top Officials' Identity To Mine NSA Secrets · · Score: 1

    These articles are a mess. A No-Tech PR guy delivering information to a No-Tech reporter. Cringe worthy.

  24. Hmmm, let me think about it... on Obama Seeks New System For Rating Colleges · · Score: 0

    Who the fuck cares?!?

  25. Re:Our Intelligence has just been Insulted on Obama on Surveillance: "We Can and Must Be More Transparent" · · Score: 1

    I second that.
