  1. Re:Best way to stop these criminals on AnonSec Attempts To Crash $222m Drone, Releases Secret Flight Videos (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Your being naive if you think crashing NASA's servers and getting thousands of employees personal information was nothing

    Names, work email and phone numbers of government employees are not considered "personal information", and are generally available through published directories, and certainly FOIA requests (so says me, a former Records Custodian for the Air Force). As well, many are saying that all these idiots accessed were honeypots.

    In addition, many are suggesting that all they accessed was honeypots with essentially open doors. By the way, names, work email and office phones of most government employees are not classified in any way and available through published directories, and certainly FOIA requests (so says me, a former Records Custodian for the Air Force).

    The original submission did say "including", but Slashdot has a style manual that requires replacing that with "too".

    If you want it so badly, you should try appealing to the new /. overlords to turn it on in the code. (Yes, even the ACs know the support exists, but is currently disabled.)

    The "New Overlords" already said that it is in the queue. Give it some time.

  8. Just finished giving three talks in three days at three different locations / venues, where I needed to connect my laptop to the overhead projector. In every case the primary connector to the projector was VGA.

    Don't you know VGA is dead? I read it here: http://tech.slashdot.org/story...

    Of all the "News For Nerds" and tech stuff going on, this is the story the Slashdot "editors" decide to post?

  12. Re:Side Impact Regulations on DeLoreans To Go Back To Production (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I was more thinking about the engineering of the car itself. When you quadruple the power it was designed for, I would wonder if the chassis will be able to take that without twisting or damaging itself in other ways. Even the drivetrain could potentially be affected by this, not just the chassis.

    Very possible. To keep the price low, they have decided to go without, you know, engineers...

  13. Re:Side Impact Regulations on DeLoreans To Go Back To Production (cnn.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Clearly you failed to actually read the article:

    Normally it would be impossible to make DeLoreans under current federal safety rules, according to Espey. But new regulations are going into effect later this year that will allow the production of replica cars without requiring them to meet safety guidelines involving air bags and crash tests.

  14. Nothing to see, please move along... on Online Ad Czar Berates Adblockers As Freedom-Hating 'Mafia' (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't seem to get to one of the links, but I didn't see "mafia" in the first link, though click-bait headlines unsupported by actual content seem to be the standard at Slashdot these days.

    Much is being made of the fact that these asshats declined to let AdBlock people attend their conference. But really people, do you really think that the MPAA folks would allow the Pirate Bay guys to attend one of their conferences? Really?

    The whole "story" such that it is, is Dice / Slashdot click bait.

    Disagree and this comment makes me sad. What you're arguing is because of Chrome's (large) user base, it's not liable to be a good citizen and follow standards/procedures...

    NOT AT ALL!

    I'm saying that if you put a SECURITY product out and don't test it on all the available browsers, your product is crap. It's not secure on one of the most popular browsers, why would they design it that way?

    Sure, understood, but that makes is a design issue with LastPass, especially seeing as how Chrome has by far more users than Firefox.
