  1. Because 100% of the commercial music is ... on Young Listeners Opt For Streaming Over Owning · · Score: 1

    Because 100% of the commercial music available, is brought by only few players; shutting out hunderds of (indie-)artists from entering their elite billboard; essentially ignoring a new breed of artists and killing an entire legacy of precious works. All for commercial gain. Music isn't seen for many as permanent culture anymore, but as temporary trend.

  2. One for .Antwerp on How Would You Redesign the TLD Hierarchy? · · Score: 1

    I'd suggest one for .antwerp and the rest is parking space ;)

  3. Can we users do the same ?! on Hacked Companies Fight Back With Controversial Steps · · Score: 1

    Valid question, not?

    And what are they going to do about botnet-infested PC's, trojans and hacked systems?

  4. They got a name for this .. on Company Creates a Self-Making Bed · · Score: 1

    ... They call that "a maid" or "mom" in some cases ;)

  5. Quite obvious, God isn't a Unix administrator on What Struck Earth in 775? · · Score: 1

    He forgot about SUID/GUID and sticky bits!

  6. *maaaaaaaaaoooouuuuuuuiuuuuuuuwwwwww* on Artist's Catcopter Causes a Stir · · Score: 1

    That's the sound, of a cat flying above your head ...

  7. Yes they do exist! on Do Solo Black Holes Roam the Universe? · · Score: 1

    .. You should meet my ex!

  8. Doing this already for many years ... on SSID As the New Community Bulletin Board and Yard Sign · · Score: 1

    I've got 2 SSID's called "Touch This And Die" and as honeypot "shenanigans unda intuentis" ;)

  9. Perl, Python, Lamp, ... on Ask Slashdot: Tips For Designing a Modern Web Application? · · Score: 1

    Checkout Perl or Python ; a good book is "Perl 5 by example" and start from there ..

  10. Re:this woman is an attorney? on Copyright Infringer Tries To Shut Down Reporting On Her Infringement · · Score: 1

    You just say that because my ID is lower than yours, you jealous clod! :)

  11. sensation brings money? on A Wrinkle For Biometric Systems: Irises Change Over Time · · Score: 1

    Sensational statistics, bring more cash in the drawer; how else are they going to adapt all these machines for their 0.000075% off-tolerance ? :)

  12. Re:Run your own NTP if it matters on Know What Time It Is? Your Medical Device Doesn't · · Score: 1

    To my opinion, the development/migration/adaption of such equipment would exceed time (and therefor cost).

    We are talking about life-critical machines here, which need to undergo rigorous tests, before used on humans.
    I don't even believe, most of these machines got computer connectivity to start with...

  13. Great ... for illegal pissers! on Stanford Bioengineers Create Rewritable Digital Data Storage In DNA · · Score: 1

    Pissing in a cup will show traces of illegal content usage!

    Those downloading movies and music in their DNA, think twice ..

  14. Re:Run your own NTP if it matters on Know What Time It Is? Your Medical Device Doesn't · · Score: 1

    Implement NTP in a machine, which mostly doesn't even support ethernet in the first place? .. sounds .. healthy!

  15. Re:How durable? on MIT Creates Superhydrophobic Condiment Bottles · · Score: 1

    To hell with the dishes, think of the Fleshlights!

    Sorry, I'm not so for vol-au-vent ;)

  16. Re:Same protocol on Researchers Can Generate RSA SecurID Random Numbers Flawlessly · · Score: 1

    hacker == harder ..

    Oh boy, do I hate automatic spelling checkers ..

  17. Same protocol on Researchers Can Generate RSA SecurID Random Numbers Flawlessly · · Score: 1

    OTP/HOTP is the same in software and hardware; to provide (backward) compatibility. Hacking a hardware key is a lot hacker, because it requires more sophisticated materials to read but still, hardware is nothing more but a chip running software. Once the software OTP is hacked, it would drag along the hardware variants of it.

  18. Re:Doesn't matter can't do it. on Sci-fi Writer Elizabeth Moon Believes Everyone Should Be Chipped · · Score: 1

    Gagagaga .. gaga :)

  19. Filip J Fry? on Sci-fi Writer Elizabeth Moon Believes Everyone Should Be Chipped · · Score: 2

    Filip J. Fry, is that you ?

  20. Diablo? on Britain Bringing Out 'Sonic Gun' For Olympics Security · · Score: 1

    We already know Diablo III is being released today, what's new ? :)

  21. People just don't care anymore on How Romanian Fortune Tellers Used Google To Fleece Victims · · Score: 1

    Is this even new?

    When I tell some, they have to watch their PC better, against trojans and virusses, I get the reaction: "who cares? it's only data!" or "I don't got anything to hide" or "There is not that much important on my PC"; While it's THEIR privacy which is at stake and THEIR pc is getting (ab)used to breach the privacy/security of others.

    Lots of people just don't care anymore about stuff which they don't understand; as long "as it works" it's allright for them ..

  22. Re:What exactly where you protecting ? on Cops Can Crack an iPhone In Under Two Minutes · · Score: 1

    I the future your phone will be your wallet and keys.

    We're far away from this future, knowing my Nokia 6310 already supported contactless payments ; which has never been possible to use in the EU. Also, our police officers do not ask for fingerprints; according Belgian law we need to keep our identity papers at all time with us in our pockets. Doing not so is illegal. This is in many EU countries.

    Although, a feedback system would be great for the "most important objects to take outside" ; like keys, carkeys, cell and wallet. Preferably with proximity detection. In that case, there will be no "moments of shame" having to knock you awake, to find out you can't pay or enter your own house anymore ...

    I am afraid the "house of the future" is an idea of the past, to be revised in the present, when cost effective enough to produce. We're just not there yet ...

  23. What exactly where you protecting ? on Cops Can Crack an iPhone In Under Two Minutes · · Score: 1

    The secret plans to solve the world economy (and hunger) problem or a device which allows you to communicate?

    It all sounds great to have; but; you got to think more global. Something which works for a phone, might work for a wallet, keys or anything (more important) which needs to be protected against pickpockets .. my 2 cents ..

    Ok, it has my personal data on it, but the burden to replace every single card in my wallet (while I keep this one thing streamlined as possible) or replacing all my keys costs me more trouble (and money) than a phone backup restoration.

  24. Obligatory Step - Cash Back Program on New Samsung TV Watches You Watching It · · Score: 1

    Extra Cash Back:

    6.) Return TV set to shop with the message "This television seems to be broken, it only plays crap!"
    7.) More Profit!

  25. Only of little use, they could have used an elf!.. on Garden Gnome Tests Earth's Gravity · · Score: 1

    The gnome was of little use ; they could have used an elf instead !
