    Did you see that it still has an internal slot?

    Almost all new phones I've seen have this and I like it better. My old phone had a twitchy spring and liked to randomly eject the microSD card.

    This is a non-story.

  5. Re:I might be out of scope here on Behind the Scenes With Samsung's Factory Workers · · Score: 2

    My girlfriend is a doctor in her residency. By time you do the math she isn't working for much over minimum wage. They'll regularly do 12-16 hour shifts when 'on call'. They're salaried so there is no such thing as over time. And while the shifts do rotate throwing your sleep schedule around that much and working that long you pretty much come home, eat and sleep.

    Now it obviously gets better but the long hours and low pay aren't something that is just limited to uneducated labor.

  7. Re:Linux Mint on Ubuntu Gnome Remix 12.10 Arrives For Testing · · Score: 0

    Linux Mint Debian Edition is the best 'desktop' release out there right now in my opinion. It's a rolling release so it is always up to date with Debian testing (or if you are brave unstable).

    Plus a whole lot of stuff in the Mint repositories that make it a good desktop.

  8. Re:I call BS on US Doctors Back Circumcision · · Score: 1

    As an uncircumcised male:

    Think about how great all those nerve endings in your fingers are. You can detect very very minute changes in pressure, feeling, everything. Now imagine trying feel sand after someone shaves all of your fingertips off. "Well as an adult that had their fingertips shaved when they were younger I have never felt a loss for a bit of useless skin".

    All those "Ribbed for her pleasure" condoms. Where do you think the "Rib" should have come from? You're cutting out the bodies natural "Make the women feel good" device.

    And most women I've talked to don't care.

    Likewise I know a ton of very productive and successful people that have some THC when they go home instead of Ethanol. It doesn't mean potheads become lazy stupid people, it means that lazy stupid people smoke pot.

    I'd also be interested in other methods of delivery. Does the THC do the reduction in IQ or is it the smoking? Filling your lungs with carcinogens can't be great for oxygen supply. How about a similar study on cigarette smokers vs pot smokers.

  11. You can have it too! on Dropbox Adds Two-Factor Authentication · · Score: 5, Informative

    $ apt-cache search google authenticator
    libpam-google-authenticator - Two-step verification

    It's in Debian repositories (And probably Ubuntu.) You can download it yourself and integrate it into anything that supports PAM.

    I have my code on both my phone and iPod touch so I always have something on me that can generate the code. The 'backup codes' are in a safety deposit box with other documents. Not sure if it actually is secure but it feels a bit more secure knowing that to get into my home server you have to have both my password and one of my devices. (And if I lose one I can easily generate a new key).

    It makes a QR-code in the bash terminal that you can take a picture of with your devices.

  16. Re:Yes. on Is Sexual Harassment Part of Hacker Culture? · · Score: 1

    Poorly socialized people who spent their youth ostracized and learned how to interact with people on the internet.

    This is pretty much it. What is going on here sounds like middle school socializing. WAY back in the day before you knew how to interact with girls you'd punch them in the shoulder and run away. Because hell, ANY interaction was interaction, right? Most people figured out by high school that may not be the best way of doing stuff.

    Some of these people most likely missed that formidable socializing experience so 'sexual harassment' is their form of interaction because they don't know any better. Rei put together a great 'how to' guide but some people just don't know any better.

  17. Re:Easier way to fix it on Craigslist Drops Exclusive License To Your Posts · · Score: 1

    They need to do away with the whole "city.craigslist.org".

    My town is a "twin" town with a west and an east. So it's named after the county. Some of them are mashuped names like http://chambana.craigslist.org/ (Campaign-Urbana). How do I describe where I am in Chicago. Because there is just "chicago.craigslist.org." Or you could obviously break it down in to directions, but even then it's a huge area.

    Registering 00000-99999 wouldn't be hard. Don't change ANYTHING else. Keep the KISS layout the same and just let people search by radius. (Well maybe implement a map for those housing ads).

    60606.craigslist.org. Search zip codes up to 20 miles. Done. It all goes into a central database right now anyway. It made sense when there were 2 across the country but now if I'm in BFE I post to 2 separate cities. Then I get docked and have to edit 1 ad so it's not the exact same.

  21. Re:is there a way to turn it on without a phone #? on Wired Writer Hack Shows Need For Tighter Cloud Security · · Score: 4, Informative

    You have to have a phone to set it up. You can then disable the phone and re-enable it with:

    And then remove your phone #. So at minimum it's going to cost you a burner phone.

    The awesome thing about Google Authenticator is that it's open source. You can download and compile a PAM package (and it's in the Debian repositories). http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/ So anything that uses PAM can use google authenticator.
