  1. Re: Stupid on AT&T To Use Phone Geolocation To Prevent Credit Card Fraud · · Score: 1

    what about a system that locks your Att sim when you are overseas? and maybe auto buy a local sim with your credit card if you try to use your phone? or just cut your hand? anything that is not allowing att sim used overseas is a win.

  6. err not 4.2 on Drive-by Android Malware Exploits Unpatchable Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Informative

    The still most widely deployed version, 2.3, is fine. At least if you don't run apps with ads, but then, there's no hope left for you anyway.

    Nobody mentions which version introduced the bug in the browser, but I'm guessing it's 3.1. But i know very little.

  8. Re:The Invisible Hand on Kansas To Nix Expansion of Google Fiber and Municipal Broadband · · Score: 1

    The market is already regulated, and it did not prevent that. Because you all are clueless about current regulations as you will be on future regulation.

    We already have regulation against a politician doing seemly dumb things for the people. This is obviously a back room deal with some telco or do no evil Google. Yet, no place it was mentioned WHO signed/proposed the bill.

    Unless you learn to pay attention to that little detail, which is the basis of current regulation, by votes or criminal prosecution, how do you expect more regulation to do any difference when the basic ones are already ignored?

    i know the level here is low recently... but an old product is news? with an hour long commercial introduction before the no-infomation video?!?!

    here is the fucking product page link http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Moverio/Home.do (with no information such as file type, etc)

    Also, blueray. Suckers.

  11. Re:Speaking as someone in the industry on Digital Textbook Startup Kno Was Sold For $15 Million · · Score: 1

    That is interesting. I'd guess they do not like your book because it is a dreaded school assignment to them. Maybe you should go for the schools and allow them to distribute for free after a small fee? that way it would be easier to enforce...

    And I am curious if you add a plea against piracy on the book?

  14. Re:What person thinks this is OK? on Blackberry 10 Sends Full Email Account Credentials To RIM · · Score: 1

    You may have already purchased such device if you have an Android.

    Wifi passwords are sent to Google by default, on every device, email passwords sent to Motorola (owned by Google) on all Motorola devices (except for gmail... Guess they optimized since they already have those)

    On ios, who knows? It's closed and phone home all the time.

  15. Re:Nvidia drivers on Linux 3.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    They are dumb. Release the driver as opensource, and depends on the closed 3rd party code, shipped as the current binaryblob.

    Open source devs would waste their time implementing open source version of those components, freeing nvidia ofof paying royalties in the future.

    All in all, he is you tomorrow. You will get like him. Maybe there's a reason for that. maybe it's just indifference that comes with age. either way, i'd recomend you to learn his ways and start sooner, for as soon as you start that, you will get better pay, more respect, and a youger idiot to clean up after you.

    Sure it was.

    - let's buy some crap for 12bi so we don't have to pay a couple billions in patent licenses.

    It was because they wanted this money and they lost. They literally gambled with company money.

  20. debunked on Startup Founder Plays Tech Press Like a Fiddle · · Score: 1

    This pretty much debunked the myth that being a woman in tech is difficult and that is kjust because women opt to do other things that we don't see them around. And that the whole issue is around only for a few individuals special interests.

    What i really want to see is someone pull that coverage by being a 50-60 yr old male white developer. The only group that really is absent in tech despite trying.

  22. Re:Reinstall Ubuntu. on Ask Slashdot: New To Linux; Which Distro? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    aymous coward couldn't be wronger.

    Ubuntu makes you dumb. period.

    your goal is to find a distro with good documentation. if you are 200% serious, I'd say start with openBSD. not Linux perse, but it's the only place where documentation issues are considered high priority bugs. also you will learn a lot more about best practices (the main reason I think the parent is being obnoxious as suggestion Ubuntu for someone who is clearly already abusing sudo more than he/she should)

    also, I'd say 90% of /. started with slack ware, moved to red hat or debian based distros, then played with linux-from-scratch.

    lastly, threat every choice as life threatening :-) ...installer asks you which file system? research the hell out of every option. do not install Linux pressing next-next-next-finish.
