  1. Re:No real reason to switch on Why Has Blu-ray Failed To Catch Hold? · · Score: 0

    That's because -1 Douchebag wasn't an option.

  2. Re:Great. on Newspaper Plagiarizes Blog, Taunts Real Author · · Score: 0

    Exactly. My first reaction was, "Sheesh. Get over yourself."

  3. The last part is the kicker on $110,000 Fine Is First Under MA Data Privacy Law · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Everything here could happen to almost any SMB out there. But to keep taking credit cards _after_ knowing you've been hacked?

  4. Re:May he find... on Happy 80th Birthday, William Shatner! · · Score: 1

    Let's hope he finds a nice blue pill then too. The guy is 80 after all.

  5. Democratic != democratic on Contents of Leaked HBGary Emails Reveal Wrongdoing · · Score: 2

    Capitalization is important. Consider the sentence:

  6. Re:No, he's not. on Cyber War Mass Hysteria Is Hindering Security · · Score: 1

    I must have. I saw some disagreement a few days ago, but no mass debunking. Protection requires 10% of ISP's to adopt a routing policy change. Let me know when that's done, ok?

  7. No, he's not. on Cyber War Mass Hysteria Is Hindering Security · · Score: 0

    You can take the internet down with a small botnet (yes 250k zombies is small). http://www.zdnet.com/blog/networking/how-to-crash-the-internet/680

    So, when it happens it's just a bad day, right?

  8. Re:Why bother on Mozilla Proposes 'Do Not Track' HTTP Header · · Score: 1

    What would be the point. It isn't enforceable and even if laws were passed, you can circumvent it by tracking from an offshore server.

    Sure. As long as you don't want to do business in the US.

  9. No mention of what his girlfriend thought on Experiment Shows Not Washing Jeans for 15 Months is Disgusting But Safe · · Score: 1

    Oh wait

  10. Slashdotted - mirror on Google ReCAPTCHA Cracked · · Score: 1

    is one of the all time great World Series.

  12. Used GPS are cheap on Recycling an Android Phone As a Handheld GPS? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I just bought a used Magellan explorist 500 ion Amazon for $7. Why bother with hacking an android phone?

  13. Re:Bullshit on Sex Boosts Brain Growth · · Score: 1

    So having sex with rats will make you smarter? After you, Mousedick.

  14. How is that novel? on BlindType — the Amazing Keyboard of the Future · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've been typing without looking at the screen for my entire life!

  15. Re:Heh on Perl 6, Early, With Rakudo Star · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow. SC2, now Perl 6. Can Duke Nukem Forever be far behind?

  18. Re:Sensationalism? I think not on Talk On Chinese Cyber Army Pulled From Black Hat · · Score: 2

    Very nice article, thanks. If you have access, the 451 Group did a great report on APT's a while back too.

  19. Re:Sensationalism? I think not on Talk On Chinese Cyber Army Pulled From Black Hat · · Score: 1

    The US needs a strong cyber offensive capability. Unplugging the internet doesn't qualify.

  20. Sensationalism? I think not on Talk On Chinese Cyber Army Pulled From Black Hat · · Score: 5, Informative

    If the US doesn't start taking the PRC's cyber offensive capabilities seriously, the US is in for a whole world of hurt. Note how, in the article, the author mentions that Titan Rain and Aurora were not viewed as surprising in Asia, but rather more like, 'yeah, yeah, what else is new?' It is widely known in the security industry that China has been pursuing cyber offensive capabilities for quite some time. Why doesn't it get more discussion?

  21. I'd worry a lot more about employees in China on Deported Russian (Spy?) Worked At Microsoft · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Aurora, anyone?

  22. Bullshit on Microsoft Out of Favor With Young, Hip Developers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Microsoft's Bizspark program for startups requires you to fill out a form to get free software. OK, Almost free. At the end of two years, you have to pay them $200. I wouldn't call that "jumping through hoops". I didn't need any double-super secret intros from investors either. I got the info from the Silicon Valley Association of Startup Entrepreneurs - an organization open to anybody.

  23. Re:Open communication? on New Messenger Has Same Old, Gaping Privacy Holes · · Score: 1

    You could have stopped after the first three words.

  24. ICANN & registrars are thieves on ICANN Approves .xxx Suffix For Porn Websites · · Score: 1

    ICANN has drifted far afield of its original mission and today exists to line the pockets of the domain registrars. Does ICANN really think that adult sites will abandon valuable .com domains and migrate to .xxx? No. ICANN thinks that people will rush to stake new claims in the .xxx space, either to their your existing brand or speculate on a future one.

  25. Re:Star Wars tie-in? on Prices Slashed For Nook, Kindle E-Readers · · Score: 1

    No, I think it's Apple's new Top Chef thing.
