  1. They aren't drowning in plastic on US States Banned From Exporting Trash To China Are Drowning In Plastic · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As someone living in one of those states, they just need to be more thoroughly sorted, which you can barely make out of the poorly written and slanted article.

  2. MS wasn't actually surprised on Write Windows Phone Apps, No Code Required · · Score: 1

    It's called marketing. If they claim to be surprised at how popular it is, that'll just get more people thinking it might be worth trying out.

  3. Re:Idea on Bill Gates Promotes Vaccine Projects, Swipes At Google · · Score: 1

    No, he really doesn't. Most people use Windows and even if he didn't donate to Mexico, the majority would still use Windows. (ignoring the fact that the reasoning in the first place is completely idiotic)

  4. And this is why real IT professionals... on Chrome's Insane Password Security Strategy · · Score: 1

    look down on web developers.

  5. of course the submitter doesn't mention on Pre-Dawn Wireless Emergency Alert Wakes Up NYC · · Score: 1

    that the kid was found and it was because of the alert and yes, they had been kidnapped. no, not everyone is asleep at that time, so he missed that point. plus, normal people turn off the ringer when they're sleeping, otherwise you get what's coming to you.

  6. Read the story and then saw the truth on PayPal Credits Man With $92 Quadrillion · · Score: 1

    it was only in an email and not really on his account

  7. If Mr. Linux did the same thing on Microsoft Has 1 Million Servers. So What? · · Score: 1

    everyone would cheer

  8. Re:looks like copy paste fail on HBO Asks Google To Take Down "Infringing" VLC Media Player · · Score: 2

    Except this can't be explained as "better return to stockholders" because it's stupid for one. Stockholders aren't wasting their times in meetings with "and then here are all the links we went after".

  9. Re:It's not as unsecure as you'd think on Russian Federal Guard Service "Upgrades" To Electric Typewriters · · Score: 1

    It's the same deal as printers and that's why we don't use standard printers to copy classified documents.

  10. It's not as unsecure as you'd think on Russian Federal Guard Service "Upgrades" To Electric Typewriters · · Score: 1

    Unlike a computer, a typewriter isn't going to get a keylogger installed by clicking on a link that's on a piece of paper. They're also within a security group, so there's some decent security going on with them. They aren't just leaving them out in unlocked buildings all day.

  11. It's called sabotage on Upside-Down Sensors Caused Proton-M Rocket Crash · · Score: 1

    and it's not just a Beastie Boys song anymore

  12. Re:No on Ask Slashdot: Good Tracking Solutions For Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    And they won't reinstall linux, they'll install Windows

  13. books on Ask Slashdot: Permanent Preservation of Human Knowledge? · · Score: 1

    it's book. not ebooks because none of those will work anymore along with people that buying streaming rights to stuff

  14. Staring at a printer or solving puzzles? on Breaking Up With MakerBot · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm sure they both use the same amount of brainpower

  15. Rising labor costs really means on Foxconn's Robot Workforce Now 20,000 Strong · · Score: 1

    not being able to pay slave wages anymore

  16. Can't they sue someone? on Where Will Apple Get Flash Memory Now? · · Score: 1

    That seems to be their strategy to stay on top lately.

  17. Who needs Kickstarter? on New Revenue Model For Low Budget Films: Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    You need the money to make the film so that you can later sue.

  18. I'd deny everything too on New Revenue Model For Low Budget Films: Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    I like how the article doesn't talk to the ISP but instead relies on the technical information from an old lady. That's always the best source of technical info, especially when they don't claim to be technical in the first place.

  19. Because teachers will really do the extra work on Teachers Know If You've Been E-Reading · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they're all just sitting around saying they want more work to do, like seeing if students open their books or not. If a student doesn't want to follow along in class, the teacher isn't going to turn into a nanny and start investigating them.

  20. but according to the tv on Inside the Business of Online Reviews For Hire · · Score: 1

    http://www.angieslist.com/ is completely legit and all it's reviews are great!

  21. I remember when it first came out on Nintendo Power To Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I got a couple free issues and every review was basically, "This is the greatest game ever". Didn't bother subscribing after that.

  22. If you have enough money... on Could You Hack Into Mars Curiosity Rover? · · Score: 1

    almost anything is possible. I could either choose to build the hardware to try and hack into it, or I could become Batman. With enough cash, I could do both.

  23. Re:Geez, just ask the NSA on Researchers Seek Help Cracking Gauss Mystery Payload · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Consider this. This time they don't want to be as dumb as they were in the past when they let our nation's enemies have all the information they need about the attacks we were doing to them. In this case, once they find out exactly what it's doing and can determine if it's some retarded hacking team that wants to steal CC info or it's something the government's involved in. If it's the latter, there's no need to release info on who's being targeted and other specifics. They were probably also contacted in regards to what happened previously. Some countries feel a need to have some form of national security, regardless of what some bearded basement dweller thinks.

    Of course there isn't anything to stop another country that finds code like this to setup something to let IT people do the work for them to tell them exactly what it does. In this case, if things go right, that country can then start setting up fake systems and start feeding bad info through the exploit.

  24. Not really all that new news on GPS Spoofing Attack Hacks Drones · · Score: 1

    Some were suspecting that was how Iran got one of our drones.

  25. I use a free solution from MS on Ask Slashdot: Good Low Cost Free Software For Protecting Kids Online? · · Score: 1

    They have some Live Family Center that works pretty well. Just for web browsing, I have it set to block everything at first. If they want access to something new, they can ask me to allow it in person or if I'm not there, they have an option to request through email. Programs can be managed in a similar fashion plus you can set the amount of time they can be logged in as well as when they can be logged into windows. Since this is slashdot, I'm sure my solution is the most horrible thing in the world since it's Microsoft.
