  1. Re:do as I say, not as I do. on UK "No Tracking Law" Now In Effect · · Score: 1

    I'd like to know which site they are referring to, as it seems there are plenty of cookies which are allowed to be used without any notice at all. It would appear, so far, this is just more "lol! stoopid government!" stuff. It would help you to check this stuff out before leaping on the bandwagon and making it worse.

  2. Re:You maniacs! You blew it up! on UK "No Tracking Law" Now In Effect · · Score: 1

    No, it applies only to cookies which are not exempted. You should read the very document you posted, as it has it all in there.

  3. Re:Idiots on UK "No Tracking Law" Now In Effect · · Score: 1

    Eh? The UK is a member of the EU. That's that. Being in the EU is one thing - membership in the EU. Once that's achieved, the country is a "full" member of the EU. I seriously don't know what you're on about.

    Most are privately-owned, and overlooking their premises.

  5. Re:How Are They Doing This? on Google Now Searches JavaScript · · Score: 1

    There are command-line WebKit-based parsers out there, which allow you to process any URL or file as a browser would, and take either a screenshot of the page or access the DOM or whatever. They're not new.

  6. Re:I for one welcome the Javascript spamming. on Google Now Searches JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's true - Google clearly knows nothing about searching the internet. ;)

  7. Re:Not convinced on Google Now Searches JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Google is not there to represent your own idea of what the internet is. Sites like that will become more and more common, whether you like it or not.

  8. Re:..came on.. on Iran Reverse Engineers Cobra Attack Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Stop it with the hate already. You are making yet more generalisations, all of which don't help the discussion one iota. Grow the fuck up.

    It's in 1080 i , actually.

    A torch is simply a portable means of illumination, so both definitions are covered.

  12. Re:Facebook on Golden Age of Silicon Valley Is Over With Facebook IPO · · Score: 1

    You are comparing real-time chat and voice communication with Facebook, which also offers those *and* a way to communicate with someone who's currently offline, share photos, videos, etc., and not to mention integration with pretty much every piece of hardware out there. You're being slightly disingenuous with your comparison.

  13. Re:Using a phone in criminal activity? on UK Police Roll Out On-the-Spot Mobile Data Extraction System · · Score: 1

    Usually it's because someone is found with a bunch of cocaine or a gun or something, and they then check the phone to see if they can find the source of the illicit objects. It won't be possible to just arrest someone without reason, and expect anything to come of it.

  14. Re:It's not "the UK". on UK Police Roll Out On-the-Spot Mobile Data Extraction System · · Score: 1

    Or you could turn your time machine off and wait and see what happens before crying the sky is falling.

  15. Re:Downloading Ubuntu on Wil Wheaton: BitTorrent Isn't Only For Piracy · · Score: 1

    You missed the word "popular". That isn't.

  17. Re:so, until the paper is peer-reviewed... on UK To Give Peer-Reviewed Science Libel Protection · · Score: 1

    Publish:

    1. (of an author or company) Prepare and issue (a book, journal, piece of music, or other work) for public sale.

    2. Print (something) in a book or journal to make it generally known.

    So yeah, it looks like sending it in is fine.

  19. Re:Phpchain on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Multi-User Password Management? · · Score: 1

    You can make very secure apps in PHP. You not knowing how to does not mean it's impossible.

    Incorrect.

  21. Re:Would have gotten a FP except on DDR4 RAM To Hit Devices Next Year · · Score: 1

    Yes, Windows 7 loads a bunch of pre-cached stuff into RAM, but it will not swap that to the hard disk if that memory is needed - it just overwrites it. Please stop spreading nonsense.

  22. Re:It's "self-driving" on Google Gets Driverless License For Nevada Roads · · Score: 1

    The license treats the vehicles as a research project, hence the requirement of two people. Don't confuse this with the finished product, and planes have entirely fuck-all to do with this.

  23. Re:Correction.... on U.S. In Danger of Losing Earth-Observing Satellite Capability · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes. There's a massive difference between actual long-term science projects (such as weather monitoring, climate recording, etc., which cost many millions to get into space) and some hobbyist PCB in a rapidly-decaying orbit with relatively-useless instrumentation. Please don't confuse the two.

    Who's "We"? You got a nuke in your pocket? I think you are confusing yourself with the military.
