  1. Re:There's another option on Major Facebook Investors Want Mark Zuckerberg Out as Chairman (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's the first thing I thought, too. If you don't like how a company is being run, it seems to me the most prudent option would be to simply invest elsewhere.

  2. And that's why the only thing you use Facebook authentication for is Facebook.

  3. Re:Valid tool, with time limits on Chinese Journalist Banned From Flying, Buying Property Due To 'Social Credit Score' (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, what a perfect hacking target! It can range from manipulating scores for profit, making your elected officials have really bad scores, slowly and secretly poisoning the data until it's no longer trusted, to destroying it and keeping it destroyed.

  4. Re:Monkey Island and Star Control on How Do You Get Your Geek Nostalgia Fix? · · Score: 1

    In case you didn't know, SC2 has been open sourced as "The Ur-Quan Masters": http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

    I still enjoy some Super Melee now and then.

  5. If you haven't logged in lately... on YouTube Founders Acquire Delicious · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you haven't visited in a while and want to make sure your links get moved to the new site once the current site shuts down in July, go log in and agree to have your account & links moved to the new home.

  6. Re:This is why I don't like pictures on Panasonic Launches Beautifying Camera · · Score: 2
  7. Re:He forgot to wipe on Malaysian Indicted After Hacking Federal Reserve · · Score: 1

    Damn! Beat me to it! :)

  8. Sheriff Joe has been doing it for years on Drunk Driver Mugshots Featured On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has been posting mugshots for years. I still have the screencap that one time a co-worker got busted (and no, he never came back to work)...

    http://www.mcso.org/index.php?a=GetModule&mn=Mugshot

  9. Re:This is just the beginning. on US Gov't Orders 73,000 Private Websites Offline · · Score: 1

    I agree - this title is easily top-10 in Slashdot's history of misleading/inflammatory article titles.

    (And that's a damn big list to get to the front of! ;) )

  10. Persona non grata on Wikileaks Source Outed To Stroke Hacker's Own Ego · · Score: 2

    Whatever the reason, nobody is ever going to trust Lamo with a secret again.

  11. Re:Perspective from a Juror on this Case on Terry Childs Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    I have a question regarding the length of the trial. I've always wondered what I would do if I were picked to sit on a jury for something so complex/lengthy. Can you elaborate on how you/your employer handled a jury assignment of such length?

  12. Re:You CAN control a 3 year old, NOT a 6 year old on California's Santa Clara County Bans Happy Meal Toys · · Score: 1

    That's not a smart six year old, it's an evil one. If threatened by such a child, take advantage of the Safe Haven laws and drop that little imp off at the nearest hospital, never to be seen again.

  13. Arizona thanks you! on California's Santa Clara County Bans Happy Meal Toys · · Score: 1

    Thank you, Santa Clara, for taking some heat off Arizona (even if only momentarily) in the stupid legislation department!

  14. Re:1.0 they finally got it right! on OpenSSL 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 1

    My first thought was that they just ran out of digits in the 0.9 space! :p

    (but seriously... great product, I make use of it myself)

  15. Didn't see mine... on Auto-Scanning the Names People Choose For Their Wireless APs · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sa-Matra

  16. Re:SFC Find It? on Rootkit May Be Behind Windows Blue Screen · · Score: 1

    My comment applied only to running it in-place. Booting from CD is, AFAIK, the only way to see/get rid of rootkits. (My apologies if that's the way SFC is normally run)

  17. Re:SFC Find It? on Rootkit May Be Behind Windows Blue Screen · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not if the rootkit responds to the request with the original values for the files it has replaced. That's the the thing about a rootkit - it gets to tell the OS whatever it wants.

  18. Re:TABS on Visual Studio 2010 Forces Tab Indenting · · Score: 1

    Is that you, Gary Busey?

  19. Re:New feature on Slashdot! on Facebook Master Password Was "Chuck Norris" · · Score: 1

    U:RayMarron
    P:Qwertyuiop

    Hmm... it didn't work for me. Maybe it only works in chatrooms. ;)

  20. Re:Verbose modern business-speak on The Trousers of Reality · · Score: 1

    If the book is half as impenetrable as the review, I don't think it's for me.

    Due to my lack of mod points, I can only add "I agree". After two paragraphs, I found myself skimming, after five I skipped straight to the comments.

  21. Re:Adding Insult to Injury on Blogger Loses Unemployment Check Because of Ads · · Score: 1

    Damn, of all the days not to have mod points...

  22. Highlights from my HS SciFi class on What Belongs In a High School Sci-Fi/Fantasy Lit Class? · · Score: 1

    ...were "Fahrenheit 451" and "Flowers for Algernon". I think those fall under your social issues category.

  23. Fun in the UK on Video Surveillance System That Reasons Like a Human · · Score: 1

    I can just see the kids in the UK figuring out what kind of innocent activity triggers police reactions. When the flood of false-positives starts, the cameras will be back to being as use[ful|less] as they are today.

  24. Re:I don't take test as a matter of priniciple on Appropriate Interviewing For a Worldwide Search? · · Score: 1

    I would think taking such a test would also be a good test of your potential new employer. If they are rigid and unreceptive to new ideas as in your examples, you probably don't want to work there anyway. If they appreciate that you solved the problem even when it wasn't necessarily the way they would do it, that says (to me) that they're probably pretty easy to get along with.

  25. Re:Svenske? Nei on Swedish Regulators Ban Word "Bank" In Domain Names For Non-Banks · · Score: 1

    A moose once bit my sister.
