    ASSUMING NOBODY ELSE HAS IPV6 EXCEPT COMCAST 5.5% PRODUCT

    Google says 4%

  2. Re:Why isn't the U.S. doing things like this? on Japan To Offer $20,000 Subsidy For Fuel-Cell Cars · · Score: 1

    The correct solution(1):

    Recover costs from wars in the middle east this millennium from taxes added to gas consumption, domestic or foreign, until repaid.

    This would be a ~80 per gallon if spread over 10 years.

    This is assuming we fought the war "for oil", whatever the hell that means.

  3. Re:So... on Comcast Customer Service Rep Just Won't Take No For an Answer · · Score: 4, Informative

    The correct hard ball approach is: I am recording this call and forwarding to my local cable franchise authority.

    This is the entity that your local franchise must go through to offer service in your area and they are the ones that set rules like the number of seconds you may be placed on hold until you get a human without them having to pay a fine.

  4. Re:No one cares, so why does it matter? on William Binney: NSA Records and Stores 80% of All US Audio Calls · · Score: 1

    Fast forward... election results: a democrat or republican will win

  5. Re:Brain ZAP! on Consciousness On-Off Switch Discovered Deep In Brain · · Score: 1

    But just imagine a current attack vector today:
      * Remotely infecting a personal computer -- Demonstrated, publicly available
      * Tethered infection of PC to mobile phone -- Demonstrated, publicly available
      * Bluetooth infection of common SOCs on pacemakers -- Not published
      * Pacemaker delivery of ill effects to user -- Demonstrated, details not public

    As more consumer-friendly devices are produced that have a close connection to humans and are marketable, the number of attack vectors increases.

  6. Filter -5 funny -5 insightful +5 informative on Massachusetts SWAT Teams Claim They're Private Corporations, Immune To Oversight · · Score: 1

    Does anyone remember the days when you might expect one of the comments here to provide an analysis of MA laws and find the line that makes their "corporations are exempt" argument void?

    I know, right, and it was like: hey what are all you new people here doing with these 4-digit user IDs?

  7. The second test on Match.com, Mensa Create Dating Site For Geniuses · · Score: 1

    After joining Mensa, you get invited to plenty of card games, speeches and nerd discussions. But you're still dealing with the general public.

    Now, if there was a second test... where then only let in people that care about their appearance, maintain good eye contact, have a modicum of physical fitness, then I would definitely like to join that inner circle.

  8. SlingBox on Supreme Court Rules Against Aereo Streaming Service · · Score: 1

    How is this different than SlingBox?

  9. Re:They hate our freedom on San Francisco Bans Parking Spot Auctioning App · · Score: 0

    And yes, this is the correct way to deter behavior. Rather than another cease and desist which is probably based on no more legal authority than "I'm wearing a badge"

  10. Law on San Francisco Bans Parking Spot Auctioning App · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a great response from the police...

    And what exact public law is being broken now?

  11. Re: Data Security Officer on Improperly Anonymized Logs Reveal Details of NYC Cab Trips · · Score: 1

    This is correct. MD5(salt + data). Salt is same for EVERY MD5 operation. Create the file and then delete the salt, done. This is called keying.

  12. XUL on Mozilla Introduces Browser-Based WebIDE · · Score: 1

    Hey that's cute, does anyone remember XUL from last decade?

  13. Re:What whas the problem in the first place? on TrueCrypt Author Claims That Forking Is Impossible · · Score: 1

    I think that one is easy... just ask him "Have you ever received an National Security Letters?". There are only two responses to that question: "No" or NULL.

  14. Re:What happens if on Bitcoin Security Endangered By Powerful Mining Pool · · Score: 1

    If this was possible, a likely target would be the FBI's auction of Silk Road Bitcoins:

  15. I am your elected representative on Man Behind Hacks of Bush Family and Other Celebs Indicted In the US · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Speaking on behalf of Slashdot, the nerds and computer enthusiasts, we ask:

        "How did he get caught?"

  16. Skip on Latin America Exhausts IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    IPV6 is like the iPhone *c and *s models that everyone skips while waiting for the next version -- not enough new features, the current one is good enough, and "polycarbonate" doesn't that just mean "plastic"?

  17. Re:Redbox Instant on Netflix Trash-Talks Verizon's Network; Verizon Threatens To Sue · · Score: 1

    > The customer service rep actually told me I should use Redbox Instant instead

    Please provide these logs. This is newsworthy.

  18. Re:Ok wait, hang on on Replicating the NSA's Gadgets Using Open Source · · Score: 2

    It is audio exfiltration, not audio infection. Not very oh-my-god stuff here.

  19. Andriod vs iOS development on Intel Confronts a Big Mobile Challenge: Native Compatibility · · Score: 1

    For I minute I though we had it bad because Apple is now creating a brand new language we have to learn just for "Apple development".

    But actually it seems...

    You're the ones getting fucked.

  20. Re: So... to summarise: on EFF Tells Court That the NSA Knowingly and Illegally Destroyed Evidence · · Score: 1

    Large-scale change requires a large-scale of people. And I'm sorry to report that people are quite dumb, self-entitled, unorganized and spoiled nowadays.

    Just like the US Department of Defense has recognized that future threats will be increasingly from terrorist organizations versus traditional regional threats, our next social revolution will be fought with a majority of the participants showing up just to have a good background for their selfies.

  21. Viva Eco on Apple Announces New Programming Language Called Swift · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ok, so now you'll be developing software using Apple's frameworks and Apple's language to run on Apple's runtime, after passing Apple's compiler (i.e. LLVM) for download using Apple's store (after finding your product with Apple's iAD) directly onto Apple's products built with Apple's custom processors, after you register as an Apple Developer. If your app needs to do something outside this environment, you can use said APIs now to reach out to Apple's Could and Apple's Database servers. And if your app is really successful as measured by Apple Crash Reporting and Apple Usage statistics or Apple's iTunes Connect, then they'll just straight out fucking copy you.

    Something about the new "language" is what makes that summary start sounding ridiculous.

  22. Re:Guilty on UPS Denies Helping the NSA 'Interdict' Packages · · Score: 2

    Interpretation of carefully worded equivocations is important specifically in this context of American corporations which are being compelled to do certain things and then not speak of them.

    Is there anything close RFC 2119 for the language that these companies are using. Or can we make one?

    We could help companies create stronger press releases and we could give journalists a primary source for parsing bullshit statements like "we are not collecting".

    Would anyone like to help start this project with me?

  23. If you run any kind of a website in a competitive market you can see the value (cash) that Google is extracting with this change.

    Every time the user leaves your website to go to Google (even if they come right back) is a chance for you to lose that customer to a PPC competitor that is squatting our your trademark/URL with an ad that users will confuse as actually being part of your site.

    Anyone with me on this?
