  1. This is very bad for OSS on New Apache Allura Project For Project Development Hosting · · Score: -1

    This project, counter-intuitively, damages open source as it fragments the OSS ecosystem as there will just be more places to search to find a piece of code or a project. It will also lead to more projects spaces being abandoned as people hop from one provider to the next (or even their own). Without the existence of a federated register or search it will bring about a kind of OSS Heat Death

  2. I'll be avoiding WD products. Thanks. on Western Digital 'MyCloud' Is Down 5 Days and Counting · · Score: 1

    So customers ability to access their bought-and-paid-for hard drive depends on WD's ability to keep their servers up?


    What is so "cloud" about this setup anyway? It just seems like weapons-grade incompetence in design and implementation. I'll be avoiding WD

  3. RSA's name is dirt in the security industry on NSA Infiltrated RSA Deeper Than Imagined · · Score: 4, Interesting

    RSA are little more than a government puppet. If you are serious about security, avoid their products.

    "RSA, now owned by EMC Corp, did not dispute the research when contacted by Reuters for comment. The company said it had not intentionally weakened security on any product and noted that Extended Random did not prove popular and had been removed from RSA's protection software in the last six months ."

    lol. Wonder what new broke ~6 months ago.

  4. The Turkish PM is a fucking imbecile on Turkey Heightens Twitter Censorship with Mandated IP Blocking · · Score: 5, Informative

    What an embarrassment of a human being that guy is.

    As well as being corrupt as all hell hes trying to stop people talking about it in the most clown-fuck stupid way. Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan I am embarrassed to be a part of the same species as you.

    3/10. Your troll skills need work.

  6. Typical Apple idiocy on Tor Project: Fake Tor App Has Been In Apple's App Store For Months · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They took about 30 seconds to take down that breast feeding app (a BREAST!!!), but something so utterly evil like an app that promises anonymity and delivers spyware gets to live on for months? Sounds like Apple may have received a National Security letter about this fake Tor app (i.e. leave it alone!) and are playing dumb.

  7. Only the real messiah would deny that he... on Dorian Nakamoto Officially Denies That He Created Bitcoin · · Score: 3, Funny

    is the real messiah. All Hail Nakamoto!!!!!!!!!

  8. Re:Why .Net? on Ask Slashdot: What's New In Legacy Languages? · · Score: 1

    Restricted to a single market? What market is that exactly?

    Do you mean a single platform? If so then you are wrong. Check out Mono Project.
    If you mean restricted to being used in a single industry, then you are beyond retarded.


    Just because you are unskilled and ignorant regarding the use, development and popularity of the platform, you should not automatically fear it and attack it. You should educate yourself before embarrassing yourself.

  9. two words: trusted proxy on Snowden's NSA Leaks Gave IETF a Needed Security Wake-up Call · · Score: 4, Insightful

    they still suggest things that hep the spy agencies like utterly retarded "trusted proxy" garbage. they are either still asleep or part of the spying apparatus.

  10. Re: Dangerous precedent on Google Ordered To Remove Anti-Islamic Film From YouTube · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's taken down because it falsely represents the views of the actors

    What the hell does that even mean? They are actors, pretending to be someone else, i.e. pretending to have different views, thoughts, feelings etc. Its their job to "falsely represent themselves".

  11. Re:In before... on Google Ordered To Remove Anti-Islamic Film From YouTube · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're missing the point. The fact that you can get a copy of the movie using some technical workaround is meaningless.

    The important point is that the law says you are not allowed to see it on YouTube. Its a right that you had yesterday that you do not have today. Part of the massive, slow and irreversible erosion of our rights.

  12. Dangerous precedent on Google Ordered To Remove Anti-Islamic Film From YouTube · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Doesn't this mean that all videos critical of religion can potentially be subject to similar orders?

    The "church of scientology" will be all over this one.

    The constitutional protections, and by extension US citizens, take in in the ass yet again.

  13. Does the occupant need to be over 18? on Supreme Court Ruling Relaxes Warrant Requirements For Home Searches · · Score: 1

    I can see cops dangling candy to kids through the cat-flap in return for allowing them to enter. You may giggle but you know its going to happen.

    As a European I am constantly astounded by how much the US government despises its own people.

  14. Re:Linux and windows have vulnerabilities on New iOS Keylogging Vulnerability Discovered · · Score: 1

    I tried to be all-inclusive and use the lowest form of wit as the basis for a joke, but it seems to have passed clear over your head.
    I will try to include pie-in-the-face gags and poop in my next humor-based post.

    apple software has "bugs".

  16. Doesn't make much sense it you look a bit harder on The Neuroscience of Computer Programming · · Score: 1

    1. How many programmers out there speak more than 2 languages?
    2. How many can program in more than 2 languages?

    Its likely the answers are 1. not many and 2. most.

    I think equating spoken languages to programming languages like this is misguided and makes sens only to tech-ignorant policy makers and scientists looking for juicy grants based on half-baked non-peer-reviewed research.

  17. No we should not on How About a Megatons To Megawatts Program For US Nuclear Weapons? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    No. We should maintain our advantage over other nations. Especially China. After all China is probably building up a giant stockpile of nukes right now as we speak!!


    There is no CND/peace/disarmament/Megatons-To-Megawatts movement on China, There is only propaganda and hatred for the US. So I say the US should build more nukes and point them at China, keep the Chinese at bay. IF we get rid of out nukes the Chinese will see us as weak and eventually start claiming US pacific outlying territories as its own as part of its new aggressive/assertive bully persona.

  18. Pro-biotic yoghurt is the new Red Bull on Gut Bacteria Affect the Brain · · Score: 0

    The more I read about gut bacteria the more it looks like we are merely a life support vessel for these creatures. Who is to say that as a colony they don't influence decision making of the host? There are examples of this sort of thing all over nature.

  19. Re:Huh? on French, German Leaders: Keep European Email Off US Servers · · Score: 2

    Traffic on the Net is routed according to the cheapest route, not the most direct or most efficient.

    Tim Cooke is not as slick as Jobs was but his shill marketing is just as effective.

  23. Case gets moved to FISA court, then disappears on Rand Paul Files Suit Against Obama Over NSA's Collection of Metadata · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, when you own the law and pervert it until it becomes a tool of repression, people like Rand Paul and their sensibilities don't matter.

  24. What the fuck does "tactical grade" mean anyway on Five Easy Pieces: Short Product Presentations from CES 2014 (Video) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You see this a lot when selling outdoor gadgets to geek chair-moisteners who have no intention of ever using it in an outdoor setting. It has a sort of reassuring military sound to it, but it actually means nothing.

  25. Re:I need NASA's permission to mine the moon now? on NASA Now Accepting Applications From Companies That Want To Mine the Moon · · Score: 1

    Forget treaties.

    NASA's premise is clearly that they OWN the moon, and in order to mine it, you need to ask them, nicely.
