  1. Re:I can be the last post and... on American Express Warns Customers About Breach -- From 2013 (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    They managed to get the email out before the Milky Way collapses into the massive black hole at its center, so yes, it's timely.

  2. Re:Sell Sell Sell on Stephen Elop New Chief Innovator For Australia's Telstra · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I don't know how they got "innate sense of customer expectations." from his time at Nokia.

    Maybe he left it off his resume.
    Or maybe I don't understand who the customer was.

  3. Re:Thanks on Obama Rejects New Atlantic Ocean Oil Drilling (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Sorry, that's not how you do it.

    In the US, the mantra is that the private sector MUST get all the profit, and losses must be distributed equally by everyone [assuming 'everyone' is the bottom 99%].

  4. Well, it would have to be a REALLY REALLY BIG pile of deadly shit, for it to still be deadly shit 5 years later [if it were Pb-211]. Like if the Japanese hurriedly built the entire ship out of Pb-211, and then, when everyone was asleep, moved everyone over from the original ship to the copy. Then it might still be dangerous.

  5. No. When things go wrong, it is ALWAYS the other guys fault. And things are going very very wrong.

  6. Re:Wondering the same thing. on Windows 10 Upgrade Reportedly Starting Automatically On Windows 7 PCs (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    It's just a Windows 7 security update.

  7. It's "over the internet", so it's a whole new thing. We need a whole new set of laws specifically for this, with more significant penalties [of course, we will also charge you under the old laws as well].

  8. Re:So fast on MIT Creates Algorithm That Speeds Up Page Load Time By 34% (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    In other news, most websites announced they are upgrading to new larger graphics and javascript libraries, as a necessary first step in ensuring their pages don't load too fast.

  9. No, it works on the binary system.

    A article is posted:
    the same day as the event
    the next day
    4 days after the event
    8 days
    16 days
    32 days
    and so on...

  10. Re:SEO experts? on No More Public Access To Google PageRank Scores · · Score: 1

    Oh no, they would never do that. They work tirelessly to make sure that their client's pages show up as high as possible when you search using appropriate terms. Anything else is purely incidental.

  11. The Federal Gov't doesn't do things that are illegal, because they are illegal. Therefore, whatever the Federal gov't does is legal. Q.E.D.

  12. I'm not sure I want a machine to unzip me and dig out my penis. Even going commando, it wouldn't be the easiest thing for the robot hand to get out, nevermind through the opening in boxers or briefs.

    Let's just say, I'm willing to get my hands dirty, to keep my johnson safe.

  13. Re:This is why I support global warming! on This Was America's Warmest Winter On Record (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    No need. They'll wind up doing what Harper did here in Canada, just have all the historical data deleted/shredded/dumpstered.

    Then it's never above or below "average".

  14. That totally explains him. Head trauma.

    He probably had to do laundry. Have you seen how many quarter's those machines take?

  16. Re:What? on Using Kexec Allows Starting Linux In PlayStation 4 · · Score: 5, Funny

    It was nice of them to turn over production of it to Sony.

  17. Re:Let Me Guess... on Anonymous Hacks Donald Trump's Voicemail and Leaks the Messages (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    why would he leave himself voicemail?

  18. Re:yet again another on Eavesdropping On 3D Printers Allows Reverse Engineering of Designs (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    yeah, it's easier to hack the printer to just send out the exact 'program' being printed to you.

    why bother trying to listen to what is being printed and then figuring out what was printed. that's like a low-rez copy.

    it's the difference between ripping a dvd vs videotaping the tv screen and then re-digitizing the recording

  19. All these technical terms confused Microsoft management, and it all cost more money, so they checked the 'no' box.

  20. That's Mittens to you!

  21. Re:"skeleton key" on FBI May Be Opening A Security Hole To Federal Agencies (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, you can bet the FBI will do everything they can to copy the OS off the iPhone to try to use it on similar model phones. And the NSA just might happen to walk by and see what's up with the FBI's new toy. And then they will 'happen' to have one of each different model iPhone needing to be unlocked.

    The NSA MIGHT be competent enough to be able to control it's use if they got it, the FBI is lucky if they can prevent the general population from poking around in their databases.

    I believe the more appropriate choice would be to go on a murder rampage at the office.

  24. Re:Awesome! on Microsoft Brings Post-Breach Detection To Windows 10 (sdtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    And yet, it still offers no defense against, or even warn, that the operating system is sending your personal, private data to Microsoft.

    I cannot believe FP was not "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further."

    WTF is slashdot coming to?
