  1. Re: millenial parents are at fault on More Than 1 Million Kids Had Their Identities Stolen in 2017 (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    Also required to get a passport.

  2. I call BS on America's Most-Hated ISP Is Now Hated By Fewer People (oregonlive.com) · · Score: 1

    I categorically refuse to believe that any ISP/cable company is hated more than Frontier Communications.

  3. Re: For starters... on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Do If You Were Suddenly Wealthy? · · Score: 1

    Isn't all ketchup fancy?

  4. Hmmmm on Meet Linux's Newest File-System: Bcachefs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I guess writing a new filesystem is easier than fixing the existing bugs in bcache itself.

  5. SELinux? on Debian GNU/Linux 8.1 (Jessie) Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Does it have an SELinux policy now?

  6. Re:I have not been served on Site Launches To Track Warrant Canaries · · Score: 1

    Good to know. As a proud 'Murhkin, I like to think that we do racist thuggery as well as anyone.

  7. Re:I have not been served on Site Launches To Track Warrant Canaries · · Score: 1

    Suppose later I do receive an NSL or court order. Can the government legitimately force me to lie and publish statements saying I haven't? Is there any law that gives the executive branch the authority to order us to lie?

    How has anybody not figured out that questions of legality and legitimacy are irrelevant?

    Incarcerating more than 100,000 Japanese Americans wasn't legal or legitimate either, but won't somebody think of the children!

  8. So here's an idea ... on Should IT Professionals Be Exempt From Overtime Regulations? · · Score: 1

    How about we argue for an expansion on non-exempt status based on fairness and logic, rather than dubios macro-economics.

    M'kay?

  9. He sounds like an idiot on Celebrated Russian Hacker Now In Exile · · Score: 2

    He may consider himself a citizen of the world, but the people with guns do not. I don't see this ending well.

  10. This is news? on At CIA Starbucks, Even the Baristas Are Covert · · Score: 1

    So you're telling me that "security" people are self-important asshats? Who knew?

  11. Re: So offer a cost effective replacement on Security Collapse In the HTTPS Market · · Score: 1

    Google "Secure Electronic Transactions.". TL;DR: It got a bit of traction in Europe but basically none in the U.S. (presumably due to different credit card liability laws).

  12. Re:It doesn't matter on PostgreSQL Outperforms MongoDB In New Round of Tests · · Score: 1

    Which becomes difficult when a user in one shard and a user in another shard want to perform a transaction together.

    Sounds like miscegenation to me.

  13. Re:Bash needs to remove env-based procedure passin on First Shellshock Botnet Attacking Akamai, US DoD Networks · · Score: 1

    It turns out that bash was JavaScript before JavaScript was cool.

  14. Re: On come on now Edward on Snowden: NSA Working On Autonomous Cyberwarfare Bot · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He acted for the benefit of the people of the United States, so he is working for an enemy of the United States government.

  15. Who cares? on Samsung Announces Galaxy Alpha Featuring Metal Frame and Rounded Corners · · Score: 1

    Until they start making phones that can survive in the real world without a case, a phone's material is pretty much irrelevant, since it's always hidden.

  16. Endpoint security FTW! on Multipath TCP Introduces Security Blind Spot · · Score: 1

    Hopefully this will lead to an increased emphasis on endpoint security, rather than the current "we have firewalls" attitude that's far too pervasive.

    (For people who actually care about real security, that is. I've got no sympathy for those who just want to control/censor/monitor Internet traffic.)

  17. I want one on White House Approves Sonic Cannons For Atlantic Energy Exploration · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't care what they're supposed to be used for. They may be civilization's last hope of controlling my children.

  18. Subject on US Court Dings Gov't For Using Seized Data Beyond Scope of Warrant · · Score: 3, Funny

    There's one judge who will be getting audited every year from now on.

  19. Re:remember when Walmart was all "Buy American!" ? on Kingston and PNY Caught Bait-and-Switching Cheaper Components After Good Reviews · · Score: 3, Informative

    I keep hearing about this so called race to the bottom (most often espoused by self proclaimed communists) yet my computer equipment today is a lot better than that which I owned 10 years ago (around the time I first started hearing about this race to the bottom.)

    You're clearly not a laptop user. I fondly remember the days of 16x10 screens, caps lock and num lock LEDs, standard and stable keyboard layouts, inaudible CPU fans, etc.

  20. I've had my new BMW for 3 months on Driver Study: People Want Fewer Embedded Apps, Just Essentials That Work Easily · · Score: 1

    And I haven't figured out the magic incantation to associate one of the "bookmark" buttons with a radio station.

    I keep hearing that iDrive has gotten better. I can't imagine how bad it must have been before.

  21. Re: Thinkpad line on Lenovo To Buy IBM's Server Business For $2.3 Billion · · Score: 1

    It may have taken them years, but persistance apparently pays off. I don't know of anyone who thinks current generation ThinkPads are anything but junk.

  22. Re:Slavery hack on Time For a Warrant Canary Metatag? · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that $NAME and $NAME and $NAME don't want their spouses/partners/children/parents/etc. to be killed/tortured/Gitmo'ed/etc., so I fail to see how this is a problem for the National Security Asshats.

  23. Unintended consequences on Legislation Would Prohibit ISPs From Throttling Online Video Services · · Score: 1

    Imagine an ISP/television provider that uses their IP network to deliver both services. It sure sounds like this would prohibit them from prioritizing the IPTV traffic.

    So much for watching that World Cup match; your neighbor has p0rn to torrent!

  24. Re:Not likley on Feds Confiscate Investigative Reporter's Confidential Files During Raid · · Score: 1

    If I write down in my notebook 'Cowboy Neal has inappropriate sexual relations with his water bottle', and never tell anyone what I have written, and never publish it, than what exactly am I guilty of?

    Write-crime.

  25. This is progress on Firefox's Blocked-By-Default Java Isn't Going Down Well · · Score: 1

    Now do this with JavaScript (at least when it comes from a different host than the page being viewed).
