  1. Re:Says who? on Facebook Tests "Satire" Tag To Avoid Confusion On News Feed · · Score: 1

    It must be true - I read it on the internet!

  2. Re: THANK GOD for "automatic updates" on Microsoft Black Tuesday Patches Bring Blue Screens of Death · · Score: 1

    You'd also be competent enough to not use Windows.

  3. Re: Automated notice not necessary here on Comcast Drops Spurious Fees When Customer Reveals Recording · · Score: 2

    In Australia at least you can request that your call isn't recorded.
    The automated notice informs you of that option.

  4. Re:Never let the truth on Is "Scorpion" Really a Genius? · · Score: 1

    188 is still a rubbish number.

    You can tell who the stupid people are - they are the ones who aren't smart enough to give themselves a plausible IQ.

  5. Re:Screw you MicroUSB! on Reversible Type-C USB Connector Ready For Production · · Score: 2

    Err MicroUSB doesn't have thumb screws. You must be thinking of a different connector like RS232 or DVI.

  6. Re:Never let the truth on Is "Scorpion" Really a Genius? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yep AFAIK the tests stop at 165 or around there. Anything above is made up as there is no statistical data that can confirm it.

    197 would imply there is someone out there with an IQ of 3 as well.

  7. Re:Our they could use Planes on Google's Satellites Could Soon See Your Face From Space · · Score: 2

    The planes imagery is what the western world gets already.

    This would be a great benefit to more remote areas however.

  8. Re:Great step! on Google Will Give a Search Edge To Websites That Use Encryption · · Score: 1

    Its a incentive for websites to do both IPv4 and IPv6. Not IPv6 exclusively.
    Wouldn't affect end users at all.

  9. Re:Put in a separate table on Oracle Database Redaction Trivial To Bypass, Says David Litchfield · · Score: 1

    Do tell me how you use a hashed credit card number? You can't give a hash to a payment gateway (arguably a major failing). Plus a hash of a credit card (known format) would be pretty easy to break.

    I think you mean encrypt. Hashes are one way.

  10. Re:Bullshit. on Least Secure Cars Revealed At Black Hat · · Score: 1

    No seriously they can. They might not out of the box, but the capability is there and chances are if someone has their way with the radio for a few minutes it very much will start talking to the brakes.

    Your statement would be 100% correct in a ideal world. We are not in an ideal world.

  11. Re:Yay for consistency on Google Spots Explicit Images of a Child In Man's Email, Tips Off Police · · Score: 1

    You find your own anatomy disgusting? How do you live with yourself?

  12. Re:Fire(wall) and forget on Ask Slashdot: Is Running Mission-Critical Servers Without a Firewall Common? · · Score: 1

    "Yes of course we have a firewall installed on the server"
    "Err but is it actually enabled?"
    "Nope, this security checklist just said it needed to be installed"

    Doing something for no particular reason is really really stupid.
    Firewalls aren't magical bits of software that block security threats with zero configuration you know.

  13. Re:The American Dream on 35% of American Adults Have Debt 'In Collections' · · Score: -1, Troll

    Any hey presto the problem has been isolated.

    People will take financial advice from a talk show. And they think the lottery is a good investment. Etc...

  14. Re:This is not how you inspire confidence on LibreSSL PRNG Vulnerability Patched · · Score: 1

    Is there no other way for it to be exploited? Is that contrived example the easiest way to demonstrate it, or is it provably the ONLY way to exploit it?

  15. Re:Almost a million megapixels! on Coming Soon(ish) From LG: Transparent, Rollup Display · · Score: 1

    Sssh! Don't give them ideas!

    "Your monthly fee is $1000 cents."

  16. Re:In a week it'll need to be updated to @toredits on Bot Tweets Anonymous Wikipedia Edits From Capitol Hill · · Score: 1

    That is kinda the point.....

  17. Re:However this begs the question.... on Alcatel-Lucent's XG-FAST Pushes 10,000Mbps Over Copper Phone Lines · · Score: 1

    The latency isn't a by product of DSL technologies. It is caused by Interleaving.
    If you are happy with a slightly slower connection, you can get lower latency but it must go slower to prevent errors.
    Its usually a setting on your router, with Interleaving always enabled by default.

  18. Why go to TPB daily? Why not just use Sickbeard which will get your shows for you automatically?

  19. Re:It's about time on NOAA: Earth Smashed A Record For Heat In May 2014, Effects To Worsen · · Score: 0

    "I believe" at the start of your sentence? Slashdot doesn't generally tolerate religion very well you know.

  20. Re:It's about time on NOAA: Earth Smashed A Record For Heat In May 2014, Effects To Worsen · · Score: 0

    Thats strange. The appearance of facts generally doesn't stop Fox at all.

  21. Re:Comrade on Court Releases DOJ Memo Justifying Drone Strike On US Citizen · · Score: 0

    So....the US is even more oppressive against it's citizens than Soviet Russia?

    Good work guys. How is that revolution going?

  22. Re: Data Security Officer on Improperly Anonymized Logs Reveal Details of NYC Cab Trips · · Score: 1

    What part of the story used ANY precomputed rainbow tables? None.

    salt + "1234", if you know the "1234" then its a tiny brute force to get the salt.

  23. Re:Different Power Supply Voltage on Researchers Unveil Experimental 36-Core Chip · · Score: 1

    Add an extra atom. Pretty simple. No reason why it has to be 3 atoms thick.

    In fact I hear that a few years ago the smallest features were hundreds of atoms! Who knows how they managed to deal with this tricky issue of higher voltages.

  24. Re:Nice looking bike... on Harley-Davidson Unveils Their First Electric Motorcycle · · Score: 0, Troll

    Didn't you know? Looking like a damned fool is compulsory for 'green' modes of transport.
