  1. How does this not qualify as... on 41 Months In Prison For Man Who Leaked AT&T iPad Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    whistle blowing?

    if he would have called AT&T and told them he found this, they would have accused him of hacking, he leaks it to a journalist and gets jail? did the journalist turn him in?

  2. Not GOATSE... on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 2

    turn your router off, reconfigure it or replace it, go into paranoid mode, if the router does port forwarding take all port 80 and 443 attempts and direct them to your proxys:

    http://tips.fbi.gov/
    and
    https://tips.fbi.gov/

    set up a linux host, plugged in wired and an exception for the above rule, set up authenticated squid...

    or just turn your router off for a while and go wired....

  3. Advice? on Retail Copies of Office 2013 Are Tied To a Single Computer Forever · · Score: -1, Troll

    install it in a virtual machine, run it from there, this is lame.

  4. remember? on 30 Years of the Apple Lisa and the Apple IIe · · Score: 1

  5. not with a bang, but a little heard whimper. on Chinese Rare Earths Producer Suspends Output · · Score: 4, Interesting

    China is finally flexing its grip on the tech industry, more to come certainly.

  6. But there is an SP2 for Windows 7 on Windows 7 Not Getting A Second Service Pack · · Score: 1

    Windows 8....

  7. no new dance steps.... on New Content-Delivery Tech Should Be Presumed Illegal, Says Former Copyright Boss · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Wow, to preserve current business models all new thoughts should be reviewed..... yep, clearly representing the people,er, businesses on this one, innovative ideas need not apply, I try not to fan boi this much but imagine if iTunes online music sales had to clear congress first? I imagine those that lobby would have had a lot of fun with that one, clearing congress is a lot harder than convincing one label to sell online, this doesn't protect anyone other than those currently milking the masses..... Please, show this man the door, he has clearly lost his way.

  8. What should the outcome be? on US DOJ Drops Charges Against Two Seized Websites · · Score: 1

    I am not certain there will be much recourse for rojadirecta; ideally the outcome of this should be that the burden of proof to allow seizure be raised, unfortunately I doubt anyone of note cares as these sites were ran by 'damned foreigners'.

    The more I watch this side show the more I think imperialism lives on, except the borders are all virtual.

  9. Fly away home... on Photo Reveals UK Plan: "Assange To Be Arrested Under All Circumstances" · · Score: 1

    They simply need a helicopter to hover/land at the embassy and pick him up, they could try to force the helicopter to land but getting him out of the embassy without stepping on British soil isn't that much of a problem.

  10. Re:Damn! on Blocking Gun Laws With Patents · · Score: 1

    more importantly, I would pick up others brass at the range, mix in some police casings for added fun.... or not....

  11. This reminds me... on Sound Increases the Efficiency of Boiling · · Score: 3, Interesting

    of the acoustic effects on disk arrays (and a Dtrace video that showed shouting having a detrimental effect on drive efficiency).

    wouldn't a pressurized vessel (cooker) have the same end result (in that vapor layer formation is prevented or retarded?)
    or as someone else mentioned, using microwaves to boil/heat faster?
    is the 17% efficiency gain taking into account the energy needed to blast the liquid with Eminem?

    the 'article' looks like a fluff piece and the comments say much the same, nothing to see here move along.

  12. Tax Cut!!!! on Oklahoma Politician Wants To Tax Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    so 1% tax on all games meeting this criteria, as opposed to the 7.3% I currently pay? sounds like a good idea :)

    troll on!

  13. Re:Not anymore (see NDAA) on Leaked Memo Says Apple Provides Backdoor To Governments · · Score: 2

    I fear its worse than " you'll see more and more of people in jail "

    with no paper trail the only people who will know are those 'detained' and those who notice them gone (complain loudly enough and you'll get to see them, come right this way....) NDAA and Patriot (security letters) are going to streamline justice in a way that most will regret, the only safe spot (if there is such a thing) might be a seat in the house or congress..... for some reason the laws passed don't seem to apply there.

  14. Pull...... on Fatal Problems Continue To Plague F-22 Raptor · · Score: 1

    40 lb pull tab.... sounds like a good idea, out of the way so it doesn't get kicked or pulled inadvertently; but I suspect the earlier design (a knob you turn) might have been better, 40 lbs is a simple amount of weight to pull under duress, might even be simple to pull after holding my breath for 60 seconds (and if you can't hold your breath for 60 seconds STFU) but in a plane traveling at a high rate of speed potentially pulling G's ?? I've only pulled a couple of G's in aerobatic training (prop plane, T34) but if the level of effort increased in multiples 40 lbs becomes a crazy amount of effort *AFTER* you have been without good air for over a minute. The only error this pilot made was placing his trust in those that deemed this plane safe to operate. If they can't monitor pulseox, they should auto eject, ejection at high speed is nearly fatal but not so nearly fatal as plowing in.

  15. Maybe I missed the part.... on Robot Controls Person's Arm To Manipulate Objects · · Score: 2

    This appears to require a person with an arm that works; unless I misunderstand the electrodes are stimulating a developed (i.e. non-atrophied) arm with working nervous system. I would be curious to see this trick work on a limb that was truly disabled.....

    very cool none the less.

  16. Re:Cue more irrational nuclear panic in 3...2... on Explosion At French Nuclear Site Kills One · · Score: 1

    So do those hundred full under the oil category? I see oil, natural gas but no petro distillates.... certainly good old gasoline is used to generate power (though somewhat harder to determine) I think they should be counted.

  17. Re:Wait, that's not OK. on TSA Groper Files Suit Against Blogger · · Score: 1

    ruined the reputation of a TSA agent.... huh? last time I checked they've got little to lose.

  18. Having been 'searched' recently... on TSA Groper Files Suit Against Blogger · · Score: 1

    Traveling with family out of country I noticed 2 things.

    1. families tend to be 'guided' towards the full body scanners...
    2. twice going through I got 'no resolution' yelled out when I was scanned.

    twice I had my balls lifted too and fro, they didn't find a bomb, in fact being modest, I doubt I could hide much down there.

    even when it goes well its not pleasant, when it doesn't go well I can only imagine, without suspicion we have gone entirely too far
    in the interest of 'safety' and though he is dead I can hear George Carlin laughing on this one.

  19. businesses are allowed to do business in Tunisia, isn't this just a piece of anti-microsoft fud? We (the USA) trained Afghani's to fight the Soviets, it worked pretty good until the tactics were used on US (USA). It's not the training that is the issue, its the application; just say what you want to say and be done with it;

    You think Microsoft training is evil.

    FUD.

  20. Amusing... on Evangelical Scientists Debate Creation Story · · Score: 1

    I find it somewhat amusing that they would choose to invalidate the snake, apple, adam and eve bit because it couldn't happen in the 5-6k range without crazy 5 assed monkey mutations.... it would be simpler to throw out the 5-6 thousand year old universe bit, which is even more difficult to ignore....

    but this is all hypothetical and likely to be called heresy by those who give lip service to the flying spaghetti monster :)

    Now thats funny :)

  22. How.... on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 2

    I pay my ISP for a connection to the internet; essentially I will be paying for this 'service' to the RIAA and the MPAA, this is not what I consider customer service, I predict this will increase the use of encryption, which will in turn spawn legislation that deems secure encryption illegal. Pretty soon they will want 'virus and copyright compliance software' installed on all systems non-supported operating systems will not be allowed on public networks, etc... tin-foil hat folks don't have to be wrong, they just have to wait long enough to see their 'crazy' views realized.

    hey, this is a web page claiming that your infected, click ok!!
    umm, you clicked cancel, you really want to click ok, ok??
    you know, it doesn't matter which button you push, both result
    in the continuation of this racter like discussion.

    wow, you clicked ok, wait while I install some software to 'help' you.
    oh, while installing I noticed that I will need your password to continue....

    wow, you gave me your password, can you google pwn3d ?

    works on PC, works on Mac, likely works on every other modern OS.

    this isn't an exploit via bug, its an exploit via user, if you drop your pants in front of a glory hole......
    that said Apple isn't really helping by avoiding the topic.
