  1. The Russians compromise yet another Great American! WHEN WILL IT ALL END?

  2. I don't know about this... on TSA May Recommend Stowing Laptops In Cargo For US Domestic Flights (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 2

    So... The bomb goes off in the hold and starts a fire? Jets don't usually recover from that... At least up top, you might confine the damage to a hole next to whoever has the laptop bomb (Egypt Air...)

  3. Re:Cause and effect... on Moderate Drinking Can Damage the Brain, Claim Researchers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    since when is 3 drinks a day, every day of the week, moderate?Italy.

  4. Tom Cruise on Malware Uses Router LEDs To Steal Data From Secure Networks (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    The only realistic application of this "hack" is in a bad Tom Cruise movie.

  5. Server Logs Busted This Idiot, Not Dots on How a Few Yellow Dots Burned the Intercept's NSA Leaker (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    This story makes quite a bit about "hidden" printer steganography. But the real way this idiot got caught was from server access and printer logs. The spooks narrowed it down to six people, only one of which had contact with the Intercept.

    How is it this person had a top secret clearance in the first place? She is "nice to look at"...

  6. Not quite the right analogy. The car company does not fix the locks. They make their own accessory like the 3rd party accessories to fix the locks. Then they sell that accessory.

    Microsoft does not sell Windows Defender as a separate product, it comes with Windows at no cost.

  7. Maybe, maybe not... on Hackers Leak Eight Episodes of An Unreleased ABC Show (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Nobody wantâ(TM)s to watch Steve Harvey's Funderdome. Nobody. Could it be that this "leak" was actually done by ABC in an attempt to stir up interest? Thereâ(TM)s really no telling if it was "TheDarkOverlord" at all.

  8. Re:Modernize! on Trump Wants To Modernize Air Travel By Turning Over Control To the Big Airlines (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You mean like go back to the TWENTIETH CENTURY MODEL where airports or airlines ran the security lines?

    We are *NOT* talking about the TSA, we are talking about the FAA. Different.

    In *principle* this could work, but more likly, Trump will hand it off to some corporation that sends a lobbiest with a large bag of cash to suck his cock.

  9. Re:Seems reasonable. on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 1

    The same rules ought to apply.

    The same rules do apply. There are no laws regulating asshols, and business are free to deny service to them. The state does regulate smoking.

  10. Re:Seems reasonable. on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who gets to define "asshole." ?

    Harvard gets to decide. It's a private school.

  11. Re:lets just not stop there... on Congressman Proposes Organizations Should Be Allowed To 'Hack Back' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    It's really not the same thing. Thinking beyond the surface it's not even a good analogy.

  12. Reality sets in... on Bruce Perens Explains That 'GPL Is A Contract' Court Case (perens.com) · · Score: 1

    My guess is that there is a HUGE amount of GPL code compiled into numerous closed-source applications being sold or otherwise distributed in ways that violate the GPL. Good luck finding it all...

  13. Tyvek suits? on Scientists Decipher the Neural Code For Faces (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll bet this was some very smelly research!

  14. It doesn't matter if there are competitors - if you HAVE a monopoly then you're regulated. It's that simple.

    Think about what you wrote: Google has competitors. Therefore by definition, it is not a monopoly.

  15. For instance, you may not use that monopoly to create an unfair advantage selling or promoting other products or services you're offering.

    It may be "dominant", but it's not a "monopoly".

  16. Why shouldn't Microsoft be allowed to leverage their product and solely allow Edge on Windows, and redirect all Google searches to Bing instead?

    There is a difference between an operating system and a web site.

    And, Edge is the default browser for IE and the only one that ships with Windows. Of course people are free to use Chrome of Firefox or several others, and people are free to use Bing instead of Goole.

  17. Apart from the fine, the Commission will tell Google to stop its alleged anti-competitive practices but it is not clear what measures it will order the company to adopt to ensure that rivals get equal treatment in internet shopping results.

    It's Google's product , it's not some public resource that Google manages for the good of society. Why shouldn't Google leverage their own product which exists solely to generate profit for Google? There is always Bing.

  18. Re:How is this News for Nerds? on Hundreds of Walmart Employees Say They've Been Punished For Taking Sick Days (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    In that case... odd how Slashdot doesn't seem to have had any coverage of the rampant civil rights violations going on at Evergreen College in Washington...

    That's regional. Plus, Evergreen State has ALWAYS been wack-a-doodle.

  19. Re:How is this News for Nerds? on Hundreds of Walmart Employees Say They've Been Punished For Taking Sick Days (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    How is unproven allegations about the sick day policy of a retailer "news for nerds"?

    There is no IT angle here I can discern.

    Why is this on Slashdot? Unless, of course, they're moving full steam ahead with their "All Social Justice Warrior, all the time" format.

    To unsocialized neck-beards like you? Doesn't matter. To members of the Human Race? It's "Stuff That Matters".

  20. He has a problem staying "regular".

  21. The problem is that the briefing paper was not rendered in Comic Sans 14 point as a bullet point list with no more than two syllable words. Diagrams are important to, but must distill the concept as much as possible, Mr. Trump gets confused easily. A golf analogy is always helpful.

  22. Here's The Problem on Trump Misunderstood MIT Climate Research, University Officials Say (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the problem is that the issue was not reduced to 9 bullet points or less on a single sided sheet using only one and two sylable words.

  23. Re:Fuck off america on Trump Announces US Withdrawal From Paris Climate Accord (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    What happens when the remaining signatories to the climate accord decide to implement a 5% carbon tax on all products imported from countries that are not substantially meeting their obligations under the deal.

    Tariffs!

    Why not? He said "piss off" to his constituents on plenty of other topics, such as Nafta or his hard stance on China.

    Getting rid of NAFTA and pissing off the Chinese costs his buddies money. This take nothing out of his friend's pockets.

    Of course it's just one more reason for the rest of the woerld to hate us, but there's no shortage of that these days.
