  1. Re:What the hell did I just read? on CNET Warns 'Everything Looks Like A Hack' At DEFCON (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought the exact same thing, from the headline to TFA. I suppose it's the obligatory CNET Defcon article.

  2. This drama is on every relevant website.

  3. Just look at printer ink. DRM is a racket. Also most "content creators" aren't even compensated.

  4. Linux should do like OpenBSD did with pf and just replace it. All this yelling and screaming just turns people away.

  5. Re:Effects on overall speed? on OpenBSD Will Get Unique Kernels On Each Reboot (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't see the issue. Some guy was playing around with an isolated OpenBSD machine and found a bug that results in a DoS, and you go directly to Theo rather than filing a bug report (on the project that founded transparent development decades ago). I'm sorry but shit story.

    He didn't say they were "real sources."

  7. Re:Resist bad ideas on The App Economy Will Be Worth $6 Trillion in Five Years (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    You're right. App store is actually 75% games.

  8. Devils Advocate, but... on Wikimedia Executives Receive Six-figure Golden Handshakes (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Six figures really isn't much these days. Marissa Mayer got eight figures and by metrics the wikimedia projects are just as popular if not moreso than yahoo (I know its a bad comparison between serving static pages and running all the services of yahoo).

  9. Nothing... on Apple Piles On the Features, and Users Say, 'Enough!' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Not much innovation on the MacOS front for a WWDC. Looks like Apple really is a media company now. iOS seems to be their main software focus.

  10. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

  11. Remember OS X?

  12. Re:It would be... on Cycling To Work Can Cut Cancer and Heart Disease (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The irony is the article is about cycling to work.

  13. Re: It would be... on Cycling To Work Can Cut Cancer and Heart Disease (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Clearly you don't bicycle. I contest that sans "steel protection" you are an idiot if your senses aren't heightened. From this behavior you will quickly learn most drivers are the ones who don't understand how to drive. I've seen it all and it is thoroughly documented. Go Pro mounted cyclists have revealed much in the past few years.

  14. Re:It would be... on Cycling To Work Can Cut Cancer and Heart Disease (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Also clearly ignorant American who has never traveled to another country where bikes are functional and ubiquitous and safe.

  15. It would be... on Cycling To Work Can Cut Cancer and Heart Disease (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It would be a lot easier if cagers weren't so fucking stupid and inconsiderate assholes. It's friday, so just go to youtube and you can see a million examples of what I'm talking about.

  16. Elon Musk declares state of emergency over disappearing hairline.

  17. Sshhhh... on Diet Sodas May Be Tied To Stroke, Dementia Risk (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    We don't want the price of quality puerh teas to go up because of the unwashed masses revolt.

  18. To say companies built the INTERNET is stupid. It goes back to military and academia and carried forth largely by disinterested idealists who made things like GNU, liberated BSD, cypherpunks, netscape, even people creating languages like perl and php. I know this guy is just ignorant, but it is infuriating mostly since youth aren't even aware of these things.

  19. Probably because... on Ebook Pirates Are Relatively Old and Wealthy, Study Finds (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    DRM-free PDF books are great and most of the alternatives are shit. Who wants to carry around a 1000pp math book when you can read it on your laptop?

  20. Make cellphone smaller. Release extended battery case that restores original size and costs you $100.

    Release laptops severely limited in ports. Tons of dongles to enable previous functionality.

    Release wireless headphones sold as a solution to reducing wires. Release extra co-product to re-establish the fit of wired headphones.

    No more absurd than throwing a ball through a hoop or hitting a ball through a hole in the ground.

    Upvoting Ad hominem AC. Nice slashdot.

  23. Of course on Encryption Backdoor Sneaks Into UK Law (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    It's gonna be perfectly legal for Amazon to sell you that DRM encrypted book that you cannot decrypt.

  24. Of course being in or a relative of a Government Employee basically supersedes this ranking system.

  25. Now is a great time... on PC Market Shows Signs of Recovery (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Now is a great time for OS development. Hardware is becoming more standardized and we don't have to worry about people doing boring stuff like reverse engineering drivers.
