  1. Re:Anonymous submitter, yet... on Astronomers No Longer Need To Avoid the "Zone of Avoidance" · · Score: 1

    Because the Forbes site has been shown to serve malware in the ads that they serve, and they require you to disable adblockers, which means you will get malware if you visit their site and turn off your adblockers.

  2. Ethan Siegel -- WARNING on Astronomers No Longer Need To Avoid the "Zone of Avoidance" · · Score: 1

    Ethan Siegel submitted this article. It goes to Forbes, which is known to serve malware in their advertisements. You have been warned. Slashdot needs to ban Ethan from submitting his spam articles that point to a malware-ridden site.

  3. Re:important to distinguish on Paris Attacks Would Not Have Happened Without Crypto (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Give me a break. The mastermind of the Paris attack was born in Belgium and his dad was a shopkeeper. They weren't desperate or dead inside or in misery. They were radicalized by religious people IN EUROPE who have their own agenda.

  4. Um, almost every city with mass transit has something like the Octopus. That isn't what this article is about. They are talking about credit cards.

  5. Re:I never understood this on Russian POS Pickpocket Generates New Interest In RFID-Blocking Wallets (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    The credit card companies are pushing this. The easier you make credit card transactions, the more of them will be made, and the more money the credit card companies will make. It is worth the increase in fraud as the increase in transactions outwiegh the increase in fraudulent refunds.

    What US bank doesn't have chips in them by now? I don't know of any. Plus RFID has nothing to do with chip cards.

  7. Re:Snowden says its all kabuki theater on Google CEO Finally Chimes In On FBI Encryption Case, Says He Agrees With Apple (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 0

    Give me a break. They are "capturing" it from Apple itself and it is unencrypted there. They aren't sniffing data, they are getting it from the endpoints directly.

  8. Re:Is he really agreeing? on Google CEO Finally Chimes In On FBI Encryption Case, Says He Agrees With Apple (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    Google doesn't give a shit about your privacy. This whole thing is a joke. Apple and Google were the ones giving the NSA access to their user databases! If you think these mega corporations are on your side you are a fool.

  9. MojoKid IS hothardware. He owns the site.

  10. I agree if they don't stop making these tereble mistakes I am going to leave!

  11. Re:Hard Drives are dying on Intel and Micron Partnership Soon To Launch 10TB SSD For Enterprise Market (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    Well one reason to keep hard drives around is because their capacity can be measured in terabytes, instead of SSD's which are apparently measured in terebytes.

  12. Billions of dollars on Twitter Rolls Out GIF Button (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    This company is worth tens of billions of dollars. They just increased their value by 40% by this "GIF sharing" technology in the cloud.

  13. Wow. 3 posts so far and they were all about a certain part of the male anatomy. Congrats slashdot.

  14. Re:Why the interest in Uber? on Uber Losing $1 Billion a Year In China (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    There are no global laws that say that private sedan services like Uber can't exist. There is no "single set" of laws out there. Just a bunch of local ordinances/laws that don't cover what Uber is doing.

  17. Re:What's stopping this plan? on Ringing Bells' India-Only Android Phone To Run About $4 (freedom251.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe they are locked to Indian networks and also are only 2G. You can get a $15 Android phone on Amazon right now. Also you should be more sensitive and not call women "broads" or try to sell them on eBay. They don't like it.

  18. The notices they are sending in this case are copyright infringement notices.

  19. I'm not sure. I haven't tested it. I was thinking of getting a VPN instead.

  20. I have noticed that Comcast in the DC area has done the opposite: they are now doing DPI to detect BitTorrent downloads of copyrighted materials and using HTML/ HTTP injections to serve notices.

  22. Rotating selection? on Scribd To Change Its 'Unlimited' E-book Subscription Plan To Semi-Unlimited · · Score: 1

    The idea of rotating selection is stupid. Just make all the titles you have available actually available all the time. It isn't as if they are running out of disk space. You want a wider selection of titles? Just make them all available, don't rotate them.

    We cannot populate the galaxy...because distance. The nearest star outside of our system is way too far away. We could never reach there. And no, we cannot build a spaceship that can go any appreciable fraction of the speed of light and there is no such thing as wormholes we can travel through.
