  1. Yes? And? on Assange Says Harrods Assisting Metro Police in 'Round-the-Clock Vigil' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is a suprise? People should be outraged? Not so much.

    Adds he's paranoia got the best of him years ago. Not his well founded paranoia about the USA Three Letter Agencies, but his paranoia about his place of power in The Cult of Assange.

    Most of his personal issues could have been resolved years ago, his current situation are of his own making.

    He needs to fly to Sweeden and take care of his personal business, you know: "man up".

    The chances of him being extradited to the U.S. are slim to none at this point.

  2. Re:Action Required !! on NASA Scientists Paint Stark Picture of Accelerating Sea Level Rise · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The 9th Ward *will* be rebuilt with condos once all the poor people have been kicked out and the developers have their hands on it.

  3. Re:So then the question becomes on Analysis Reveals Almost No Real Women On Ashley Madison · · Score: 1

    I think you and your friends are in the minority.

  4. Re:Department fail on Amazon Work-Life Balance Defender: Prior Employer Nearly Killed Me and My Team · · Score: 2

    It's possible amazon has a problem in tech or another department but the people in the warehouse are treated fine

    News Media, employee blogs, and other sources don't agree with you about Amazon warehouse workers. A simple Intertubes search reveals this reality.

  5. Anti-Virus Companies All Suck on Former Employees Accuse Kaspersky Lab of Faking Malware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It would not surprise me if *ALL* so-called antivirus software companies did this, with very few exceptions.

  6. Re:Wrong. on Ada Initiative Organization To End, But Its Work Will Continue · · Score: 1

    Ada is without question more "reliable" for "life or death" mission critical applications. Your comment shows ignorence about the why and how Ada was designed.

  7. Wow. on Facebook Allows Turkish Government To Set the Censorship Rules · · Score: 0

    That's quite the write-up... I feel like I've just been to a rally.

  8. Wrong. on Ada Initiative Organization To End, But Its Work Will Continue · · Score: 2

    Ada was never a "mainstream" language, and in fact is still used widely in aerospace and other mission critical control applications.

  9. The next Vista / Metro! on In Windows 10, Ad-Free Solitaire Will Cost You $10 -- Every Year · · Score: 1

    There is nothing "free" about Windows 10, and I predict this will come back to bite Microsoft like Vista and whatever that "Metro" thing was.

    I don't use Ubuntu, but this offers great potential for them, and for the average non-tech savvy computer user, it offers the "cleanest" experience.

  10. Re:RTFA? on Ask Slashdot: Can You Disable Windows 10's Privacy-Invading Features? · · Score: 1

    If you are a "user" on a system using Enterprise, you surf at the will of your administrator. If you run Enterprise at home, YOU control all these things.

  11. I AM AMAZED! on You3dit is Working to Help Crowdsource 3D Design and Printing (Video) · · Score: 0

    Yet another an other story about random things of limited usefulness that you can do with a 3D printer.

    Folks, we get it: 3D is "the wave of the future", and people are printing out custom made 3D dildoes for a custom fit. We get it.

    Thanks for the story.

  12. No, Just no. on How Amazon Could Drive Blended Reality Into The Living Room · · Score: 1

    Really, no.

    Watch the original THX1138.

  13. How about this... on HEVC Advance Announces H.265 Royalty Rates, Raises Some Hackles · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't like the licensing terms? Don't use H.265...

  14. Yeah, Right on Facebook Acquires Israel's Pebbles Interfaces For Reported $60 Million · · Score: 2

    Facebook acquired a company so as to kill them off because it is cheaper for the Big Heavy to buy and kill than compete with the threatening product...

  15. Re:Never heard that one before on J.J. Abrams On "Star Wars" Cast's Racial and Sexual Diversity · · Score: 1

    I have never heard of anyone who thought Jar Jar Binks reminded them of black characterizations./quoteI find that very hard to believe.

  16. Re:Reasonable Access on Ask Slashdot: Giving Users Extra-Firewall Access For Sites Normally Blocked? · · Score: 1

    You must be the 4 or 5 percent, or over 65...

  17. Re:Good for greece on Greece Rejects EU Terms · · Score: 1

    I agree. If the US and Europe are fine with letting Greece slip into Third World Status, the Greeks should look at Russia for help, which I'm certain the Russians would give.

  18. Re:Nude == Rude? on Detecting Nudity With AI and OpenCV · · Score: 1

    Puritanism is the State Religion.

    Mostly in the United States, and non-European countries. Germany seems pretty healthy. Maybe some Scandinavian nations as well.

  19. Didn't read the story, did you? on General Mills To Drop Artificial Ingredients In Cereal · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    We are not talking about flavors specifically, but also COLORS. Read up on where artificial colors come from.

    If you are OK with it, that's fine for YOU.

    "Consumers" have a right to consume what they want and not what they don't.

  20. Odd Questions About TrueCrypt on Two Years After Snowden Leaks, Encryption Tools Are Gaining Users · · Score: 1

    I wonder... Schneier says:

    Then, I used TrueCrypt. I used it because it was open source. But the anonymous developers weirdly abdicated in 2014 when Microsoft released Windows 8.

    Is there a relationship between the release of Windows 8 and the abandonment of TrueCrypt? Is there a bug / back door / some other issue between Windows 8 and TrueCrypt? Do the developers for TrueCrypt now work in Redmond?

  21. Re:rename it "placebopathy" on Is the End of Government Acceptance of Homeopathy In Sight? · · Score: 0

    References, please.

  22. Not a Placebo on Is the End of Government Acceptance of Homeopathy In Sight? · · Score: 1

    ...concluding that there is no evidence that homeopathy works for anything. Homeopathy is a placebo.

    And therefor if "there is no evidence that homeopathy works for anything", than obviously it is not a placebo, since there are legitimate studies that show positive effects from placebos.

  23. Big fail from the software engineering standpoint. on Missing Files Blamed For Deadly A400M Crash · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Just my take as a software engineer and current DoD employee that works with C17...

    There should have been some process on firing up the jet / avionics / computers that ran checks to see that even if software was not latest, was it CONSISTENT?

    Big fail from the software engineering standpoint.

    Did you, by chance READ your user agreement? Your IGNORENCE does not entitle you to additional rights.

    Waaaaaa! Call me a WAMBULANCE!

    Listen, Luddites, Google has no obligation to provide you with squat, unless you are paying them.
