  3. Re: Danger do not try to Spy on Should International Travelers Leave Their Phones At Home? (freecodecamp.com) · · Score: 1

    I think a skunk phone could be a good idea. It would spray fetid liquid if tampered with. You could even have a special password that when entered by the wrong person triggers the fetid spray.

  5. I avoid the US whenever posible on Should International Travelers Leave Their Phones At Home? (freecodecamp.com) · · Score: 1

    Last time I had to land in the US I got fingerprinted and photographed, just to change from international flight to an American airline flight which was not even bound to an US airport. And this was more than a decade ago. Since then I avoid any landing in US territory and any airline with flights using American Airlines as connection flight. I still remember the face of the customs officer. He looked to be so proud of protecting his country borders... from passengers in transit to an US outbound flight! That was a waste of resources and a way to pishing off people perception of US Curiously now I fly mostly in non American airplanes, but that is unintentional.

  6. Just go for International Atomic. No leap seconds anymore. Then we have a real time.

  7. Why should an entity reveal its capabilites setting up such attack bringing himself too much in the public light and without any monetary profit. It may backfire by getting the authorities, and even other ddos attacks users, on his trail and by triggering the search and implementation of technical and regulatory measures to reduce or eliminate the means he uses for the attack. The entity behind this does attack may have just triggered a Barbara Streisand attack.

    A better strategy would be first to send probes to at least partially terraform mars to make it more viable for human life. When the conditions are bearable enough for human life then send the first humans there.

  20. One good $$$ Apple Advantage on Ask Slashdot: How To Shop For a Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Yes Apple's laptops are pricey, but you can still resell it 2 or 3 years later to finance the next one.

    Try that with a vanilla brand laptop, even HP or Lenovo.

  21. IBM? What is IBM? on Cringely Predicts IBM Will Shed 78% of US Employees By 2015 · · Score: 1

    One generation more of tech people and if you ask them who is IBM they will have go search in Wikipedia to know what that company is or was in the future. How could a company lost brand name so fast. Now instead of having IBM stores (and app stores) have only Apple stores. Apple shows that hardware is profitable not only in profits but also in brand recognition. What is not profitable is bad management. Fortunately HP realized it before too late.

    Also try to navigate IBM support web pages is a nightmare. Cannot find anything. The quality of information for IBM acquired software is terrible: Rational, telelogic, etc. Better let the former company support team manage support.

    When company profits depends n shedding people, it takes not long until it goes toast.
