  1. Re:System Preferences - Security & Privacy on If You're Connected, Apple Collects Your Data · · Score: 1

    When I installed 10.10, a dialog popped up asking me to check these settings. It was 100% obvious.

  2. Comcast being dicks... on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 1

    is not news. But I still smell a lawsuit in the works if things went down as described.

  3. Yahoo still has servers? on Hackers Compromised Yahoo Servers Using Shellshock Bug · · Score: 1, Informative

    Huh... I would'a guessed they were long gone by now.

  4. Re:Possible sequence on Apple Sapphire Glass Supplier GT Advanced Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You forgot step 3.5) Where the "sapphire glass" turns out to not meet the specifications Apple requested and GTAT committed to providing.

  5. Clearly not... on Is an Octopus Too Smart For Us To Eat? · · Score: 4, Funny

    We eat them, and if they're so smart why don't they defend themselves?!

  6. Re:This is typical of the "Jobs era" Apple on Apple To Face $350 Million Trial Over iPod DRM · · Score: 1

    Actually... many of them use an obfuscated database to store the songs, just like the iPod. This has been the case going back to the first hard drive based player I got, the Rio Karma.

  7. No problem... on Apple To Face $350 Million Trial Over iPod DRM · · Score: 3, Funny

    just check the couch cushions, I'm sure they've got a few hundred million in there amongst the Cheetos and lost tv remotes.

  8. There is no more Photoshop. on Adobe Photoshop Is Coming To Linux, Through Chromebooks · · Score: 2

    At least not in the traditional sense of what we all think of when we speak of Photoshop. The new model is a web based subscription app. Which means I will no longer be buying Photoshop.

  9. There is no competition... on CenturyLink: Comcast Is Trying To Prevent Competition In Its Territories · · Score: 2

    The only other options are satellite and DSL... they successfully prevented competition when they threw their "we no share our cables" fit awhile back.

  10. Re:I like... on U.S. Senator: All Cops Should Wear Cameras · · Score: -1, Troll

    You are confusing the Republican voters, who will often just elect the person with the (R) next to their name, and their representatives, who will often do things that the voters do not want (but at least their not godless democrats!).

  11. Small correction... on No, a Huge Asteroid Is Not "Set To Wipe Out Life On Earth In 2880" · · Score: 1

    THAT specific meteor isn't, another may be.

  12. Re:Eh, Suckers! on 60,000 Oculus Rift DK2 Orders, 20,000+ Units Shipped, New Orders Ship In October · · Score: 4, Insightful

    While I'm not a fan of the system, what you are paying for is mostly the motion tracking system. I do have the first generation dev kit and it's rather nice compared to similar prior systems (Virtual-IO for example). But it is also majorly over hyped and Facebooks involvement was a death blow for me. But that's just me...

  13. Re:It's tinfoil time! on Fugitive Child Sex Abuser Caught By Face-Recognition Technology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would think such systems would automatically flag people in tinfoil protector beanies for closer scrutiny...

  14. Cell phones are insecure. on Silent Circle's Blackphone Exploited at Def Con · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's inherent in how they work. Rather then trying to secure them, which I don't think can be done, just start assuming they are insecure and treat them as such. Don't hold a private, personal conversation in a crowded public room and don't send text messages you don't want other people to see.

  15. Re:"Anything more than a runtime and a language" on Oracle Hasn't Killed Java -- But There's Still Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    Then what have I been drinking every morning?

  16. Beards and suspenders. on Ask Slashdot: "Real" Computer Scientists vs. Modern Curriculum? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Difference is the "real" ones have beards and wear suspenders.

  17. Re:No worries on PayPal's Two-Factor Authentication Can Be Bypassed Using eBay Bug · · Score: 2

    Hey now, without PayPal there would be no Tesla or Space X.

  18. unable to replicate findings. on PayPal's Two-Factor Authentication Can Be Bypassed Using eBay Bug · · Score: 4, Informative

    Perhaps I'm not understanding... but as my PayPal and eBay accounts have different passwords and i have two factor authentication setup using a DigiPass 5 rotating cypher key, I am unable to replicate what is being reported. No mater what, I am prompted for my DigiPass token key and password.

  19. Re:Microsoft has a new CEO? on Satya Nadella At Six Months: Grading Microsoft's New CEO · · Score: 5, Funny

    It was pushed out as a bug fix update and bundled in with a bunch of others so you wouldn't notice that they're trying to fix a major problem.

  20. Re:When will we... on CIA Director Brennan Admits He Was Lying: CIA Really Did Spy On Congress · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "lying bastard" is more or less their job description.

  21. Get used to this... on The Misleading Fliers Comcast Used To Kill Off a Local Internet Competitor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    These sort of things are legal now. Corporations are people, and people have free speech, and spending money is speech.

  22. It has 2GB internal memory. on Ask Slashdot: Preparing an Android Tablet For Resale? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There is 2GB of memory for the OS, personal settings, apps, etc. If you can not boot the device, you can not access this memory to clear it. You may be SOL.

  23. Using what leverage? on Cable Companies: We're Afraid Netflix Will Demand Payment From ISPs · · Score: 1

    To extort money from someone, you need to threaten them with something. Netflix has no leverage because their customers will most often have no choice in ISPs.

  24. Re:~50% have no degree... on For Half, Degrees In Computing, Math, Or Stats Lead To Other Jobs · · Score: 1

    There is more data in heaven and earth then is listed in the posted article.

  25. ~50% have no degree... on For Half, Degrees In Computing, Math, Or Stats Lead To Other Jobs · · Score: 4, Funny

    Around half of STEM workers have no four year degree, to me that is more interesting.
