  1. Or do people just not care enough to exploit it on Microsofts browser?

  2. If only there was an expandable cloud system.... on Amazon's Alexa is Getting Clobbered (axios.com) · · Score: 2

    Some sort of platform, that advertises that they can rapidly add servers to your platform, they could call it the Awesome Web Services platform or AWS for short!

  3. Simple argument... on Reddit's Case for Anonymity on the Internet (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have a fairly unique name, and I purchased a house, putting my name and address on the public record. Frankly, I don't want you crazy people to know where I live.

  4. Re:Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale ... on Finally, It's the Year of the Linux... Supercomputer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Well... there's BSD. Which is in a LOT of embedded systems as well as desktops in the form of OS X.

  5. Free as in beer, that you have to pay for to have it in a bottle, can or other container. Plus the chilling fee if you want it cold, and the carbonation tax if you don't want it flat.

  6. I blame Microsoft. on AIM Has Been Resurrected. Kind Of. (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Had they not totally Bjorked up Skype (and yes I use her name as a pejorative) there would be no need for any competitors, new or old.

  7. So people find their phones still usable... on The iPhones of the Future May Be Wireless, Portless and Buttonless (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    and they want to fix that?

  8. Re: What about mail-order? on Supreme Court Rules States Can Require Online Retailers To Collect Sales Tax (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    After this? A lot potentially. All Amazon needs to do is put up a 800 number where you can call in to pay. Could be 100% automated.

  9. What about mail-order? on Supreme Court Rules States Can Require Online Retailers To Collect Sales Tax (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    If I call an out of state company and order something, no taxes. But if I do it via a web page, taxes? Seems fair...

  10. Re:Does Windows Explorer do it differently, or Lin on macOS Breaks Your OpSec by Caching Data From Encrypted Hard Drives (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Well... Windows creates them on the drive itself. But I thought that was what MacOS was doing as well so I could be totally off on that.

  11. So same year as the new XBOX? on Intel Says Its First Discrete Graphics Chips Will Be Available in 2020 (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    Coincidence? Yeah, probably...

  12. But I watch TV online... on Next Year, People Will Spend More Time Online Than They Will Watching TV. That's a First. (recode.net) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not sure that "cord cutters" are properly tracked by these metrics.

  13. No worries... on Net Neutrality Repeal Is Official (cnet.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They wont start actually acting on the repeal until after the 2018 elections. So we got time before everything goes to hell.

  14. First you get them hooked. on Google's Free Wifi is Becoming a Way of Life in India (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Then you start exerting control. It's how drug dealing works.

  15. Well it is a BS "holiday". on An Average Earth Day Used To Be Less Than 19 Hours Long (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    I mean, do we really need a full 24 hours to act environmentally aware if we don't do it the rest of the year?

  16. It's about the games.... on Atari Launches Linux Gaming Box Starting at $199 (linux.com) · · Score: 1

    The issue is that "Atari" (not sure who they are at this point, the name keeps changing hands) are trying to sell us nostalgia, which I already have via a FPGA system. So what will they offer, that I can't get elsewhere for less? Far as I can tell, they got nothing. I see nothing about the unique platform specific games that would make me want to shell out anything for such a system.

  17. Re:What a waste of resources on Signs of Sophisticated Cellphone Spying Found Near White House, US Officials Say (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Toilet for cheeseburgers, bed for more cheeseburgers, golf course. Easy to track.

  18. Re:Oh the times we live in... on Pornhub Launches VPNhub, Its Own Virtual Private Network App (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    PornHub loses your data, you pick another porn site. Facebook does it, and are you really going to switch to Google Hangouts?

  19. Never understood the appeal of password managers. on A Bug in Keeper Password Manager Leads To Sparring Over 'Zero-Knowledge' Claim (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Aren't you just putting all your passwords under a single password? Seems like that would make you much more vulnerable.

  20. Re:Go Enterprise - Juniper SRX300 on Ask Slashdot: Which Is the Safest Router? · · Score: 2

    Can get one for $200 or less if you shop around

    This is what I did, HOWEVER you are miss-representing the cost as you must also get a license and a support contract to keep it up to date.

  21. So... no one checked the article? on Lenovo Teases a True All-Screen Smartphone With No Notch (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    Cause the pictures show a big black "notch" that goes all the way across the screen. In other words, its only edge to edge width wise, there is a large non screen area where the camera etc are on the front.

  22. Re:Holy shit! on Attention PGP Users: New Vulnerabilities Require You To Take Action Now (eff.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't this supposed to be a peer reviewed...

    Yes... which is how we know about the problem and can address it. Open Source isn't magic.

  23. Re:Finally on FCC Says Net Neutrality Rules Will End On June 11 (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can't happen soon enough. This was a great call. Get government out of regulating business.

    Just remember when you're paying more, for less Internet access, that this is what you wanted.

  24. Tesla is more of a cult than an investment, I mean the COE said just last week that people shouldn't invest in them if they expect to make money.

  25. Well duh.... on After Equifax Breach, Major Firms Still Rely on Same Flawed Software (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A data breach may cost money later, but changing would cost money now, which is all stock holders care about.
