    blame Russia. I sense a pattern here.

  3. Re:iOS users are more conditioned to upgrade on iOS 11 Passes 50 Percent Adoption In Under 2 Months (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And what the hell is up with the native Podcast app. It is all but worthless now. I guess the Apple QA folks don't use it or have switched to an AppStore replacement.

  4. Kodi solves a problem on How Kodi Took Over Piracy (wired.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's that simple. People want to view content and issues of availability, cost, censorship, convenience figure into individual choice as to whether one uses the app and how one uses to the app.

  5. Does that mean my iphone is working correctly or incorrectly by Apple standards.

  6. "Some of the remarkable new features"... on Microsoft Begins Rolling Out Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (windows.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sounds fair and balanced to me.

  7. Re:Genius on South Park's Season Premier Sets Off Everyone's Amazon Echo (maxim.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Southpark fans

  8. Details of breach? on Government Officials Begin Investigating Equifax Breach (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Has anyone seen an explanation of what occurred? Was it a remote hack or inside job?

  9. Understood. It was the cavalier attitude of let the pain be elsewhere that was striking.

  10. Reported, hopefully the storm slams some Caribbean island with mountains to take the edge off before hitting the US. Lovely.

  11. I'm reserving judgement on this one.

  12. Re:Your privacy is EXTREMELY important to us on Millions of Time Warner Cable Customer Records Exposed in Third-Party Data Leak (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Do these companies do any IT security?They seem to be willing to sacrifice customer data as a matter of routine business. Their customers don't care or don't know about these partner deals.

  13. Don't confuse advertisements with solications on Modest Proposal To Companies: Let Your Customers Respond To Your Emails - Kill no-reply@ (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    My company doesn't want your opinion on our policies but still want your money. Signed, Anonymous CEO

  15. Re:So they finally realized they went too far? on Apple Puts Brakes on Self-driving Car Project, Report Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    At least they still advocate downshifting . Slow stop is better than none I suppose.

  16. Re:Well, okay - but on Trump Adviser Steve Bannon is Leaving White House Post (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Kelly did look exasperated in the background when Trump decided to ad lib. Tough for a retired four star general to not be in charge but in this case he's just another bozo on the bus.

  17. Re:what i find surprising on iOS 11 Has a Feature To Temporarily Disable Touch ID (cultofmac.com) · · Score: 1

  18. Simulations are guesses without data on New MH370 Analysis Again Suggests Plane Came Down Outside Search Area (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    What has always been missing in the search for MH370 is enough specific data to feed the simulations. Human factors or mechanical failure aren't ideal inputs. It's really a number of "best guesses".

  19. Traveling salesman problem on MIT Team's School-Bus Algorithm Could Save $5M and 1M Bus Miles (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    NP complete or something else?

  20. Good times for the certification sellers too on Flush Times For Hackers in Booming Cyber Security Job Market (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    The US defense department is practically bankrolling CompTIA with their perpetual certification requirement for Security+.

  21. It's really that simple for most people seeing films in theaters is too costly. Most are not "must see" immediately good anyway.

  22. In all seriousness, EFF will never be on the same page as money making corporations. I think EFF adds awareness value and that is important.

  23. If a show sucks, it still sucks on TV Networks Hide Bad Ratings With Typos, Report Says (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    and doesn't really matter what the networks do to overcompensate.

  24. Maybe BBC needs a backup plan on BBC Technical Glitch Leaves TV Presenter In Silence (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3

    If this story is real or somehow relevant to Slashdot then the network should be criticized for not preparing for this sort of event.

  25. Email was salvation for employees on Even Telecom Workers Don't Want To Talk On the Phone (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    Receive email from your boss was much better than a phone call. Gave you time to work on an approach to what was being asked. Read receipt off of course.
