  1. Re:10,000 wipes over a 3-year period on 'Repeatable Sanitization' is a Feature of PCs Now (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, in a hospital I can see it.

  2. 10,000 wipes over a 3-year period on 'Repeatable Sanitization' is a Feature of PCs Now (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    10 times a day? That's some serious OCD.

  3. disables the keyboard, touchscreen and keypad on 'Repeatable Sanitization' is a Feature of PCs Now (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Yeah...that's called "Turn it off" for 5 minutes.
    But no, there is another "app for that".

  4. Why didn't he create a DVD or USB of the Factory Reset when the system was brand new?
    The laptop prompted him to do so, the user manual told him to do so...
    Free

    Of course, no one ever does. And then whines when the drive dies, taking the reset partition and OS with it.

  5. A multi thousand user breach I'm not part of.

  6. will not record the location of its user on Finland Will Introduce a Mobile 'Driver's License' App (yle.fi) · · Score: 0

    Go on...tell me another one.
    That's funny right there.

  7. Re:SD card feature? on Camera Makers Resist Encryption, Despite Warnings From Photographers (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Eye-Fi is pretty much defunct. And I say this as a long time user and previously ardent supporter of that tech.

    I used it all the time to auto-download to a tablet in my backpack.

  8. Re:Why only when there is a death? on Family of 'Swat' Victim Sues Kansas Police, Lawmakers Propose 40-Year Jail Terms (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    At the barest minimum, the swatter needs to pay the cost of the police action he caused, which will be probably a few thousand if not tens of thousands of dollars after the government accounting is done.

    Simply monetary? No. Easily fixed with a GoFundMe.
    The swatter needs to go to jail as well.

  9. Data trail on Kaspersky Admits To Reaping Hacking Tools From NSA Employee PC (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    NSA->employee->Home system->Kaspersky AV->Kaspersky Lab servers --------> Russian Govt?

    If Kaspersky isn't working with the Russian govt, how did their Lab data end up with the Russian govt?

    Oh, and the NSA dude needs some jail time as well.

  10. Re:Bombers? on US Preparing to Put Nuclear Bombers On 24-Hour Alert (defenseone.com) · · Score: 1

    In addition, this potential alert status reactivation has been in the works, if only on the back burner, for a LOT longer than Trump or Lil Kim.

    Once launched, aircraft can be recalled.

  12. Re: Alternative to advertising? on The Internet Is Ripe With In-Browser Miners and It's Getting Worse Each Day (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    What makes you think they won't just do both? Video ads and mining.

  13. Re:Dumb on Latest TVs Are Ready for Their Close-Ups (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    8k is supposed to be the ultimate, the final form of 2D television.

    That's what they said about Super-VHS. "It can't get any better than this"

  14. Both physical DVD and streaming
    Why? Much larger catalog with physical, and earlier release.

    I restarted the physical DVD specifically for The Martian Did not want to wait for streaming, nor pirate it.

  15. Re:Perhaps on an island subject to hurricanes... on NASA Images of Puerto Rico Reveal How Maria Wiped Out Power On the Island (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why not? Its done in a lot of places in europe.

    How deep is the water table?
    What might they be drilling through? Dirt, or rock?

    Just saying...the easy assumption to bury might not be as easy as "Just do it".

    During/after Hurricane Isabel a few years ago, my neighborhood was the only one in the area with power. But is not always 'the answer'.

    You might, but I don't. Specifically, the phone you're referring to.

  17. Re: China appears to be shooting for EV dominance on China Builds World's Largest EV Charging Network With 167,000 Stations (247wallst.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yes, we get the meme.
    The US sucks. Far behind every other country on the planet, in every possible way.
    And it is all due to the Cheeto Jesus

    So if this had been announced last year, would you have blamed Obama?

  19. Re:I wish the US would do this. on Energy Firm Slapped With $65,000 Fine For Making 1.5 Million Nuisance Calls (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    And here in the US, my snooty European friend, it is exactly the same. We have a specific law that states you cannot robocall a cell phone, and we also have the Do Not Call list.

    The scammers do not care. They do it anyway.

    Just like this guy in the UK...we had a similar outfit get busted in the US. For exactly the same thing.

  20. See this in tech forums all the time on Is this the End of Typing? The Internet's Next Billion Users Want Video and Voice (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Question: "How do I do X?"
    A 4 line - do this, do that, click here, done. Not good enough.
    "Do you have a video for that?"

  21. "drones" on UK To Require Drone Registration And Safety Exams (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    There was talk they might buy Disney
    We already saw that movie. AOL and TimeWarner. Didn't work out well. The sequel (MSNBC) isn't doing so hot either.
    Don't think we need to extend this into a trilogy.
