  1. Re:And nearly 10 of 10 android phones are on old . on Nearly 9 Out of 10 Smartphones Shipped Run On Android (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Security updates are for losers.

  2. Re: Trying to get the jump on Azure Stack on AWS Releases Amazon Linux Container Image For Use in On-Premises Data Centers (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    lol, companies making up certifications for training that have no accreditation backing them - yeah congrats. There is no legal backing or accreditation for them, they are worthless sheets of paper. The closest thing is HITRUST.

  3. Re: Makes sense on On Wall Street, a High-Ranking Few Still Avoid Email (reuters.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    If Hillary wasn't Doing shady shit none of this would have been an issue. The fact is she tried to hide it, lied about it, and played it all off as nothing. If they would have done the right thing, all of this wouldn't be an issue.

    lol so much misinformation. There is no legal block to storing information in the cloud or using cloud servers. AWS BAA dictates you must use dedicated tenancy and that is about it. There is no such thing as "HIPAA Certification" either, so it is easy to spot you are talking out of your ass.

  5. Re:A Master Password.... on LastPass Makes Password Management Free Across All Of Your PCs, Tablets and Smartphones (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you have a keylogger installed then none of your passwords you'd be storing are safe anyway. A useless fucking point.

  6. Re: barely out... on Foxconn Testing Wireless Charging For iPhone 8 (trustedreviews.com) · · Score: 1

    Not apple writing this. This is just shit posting "journalists" writing bullshit rumors

  7. Re:GPL Bullet-Points on Wordpress Founder Accuses Wix Of Stealing Code (ma.tt) · · Score: 0

    You mean you don't have time to read and comprehend the 50 fucking pages of the GPL license? Only a lunatic like Stallman would propose such a thing no one without a JD could understand.

  8. Or you can buy a USBC to lightening for less on Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device (networkworld.com) · · Score: 0

    But some just want to bitch.

  9. Re:If they'd actually keep up their computer lines on Apple's Annual Sales Fall For First Time Since 2001 (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Cute, you do online banking and watch cat videos on your Linux box. Some people do real work.

  10. If they'd actually keep up their computer lines on Apple's Annual Sales Fall For First Time Since 2001 (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Maybe they'd sell more. Been waiting to buy a new Macbook Pro forever now - without updates to the MBP line. Took forever for them to update the Mac Pro. Yet, minor dumb improvements once a year to the iPhone like clockwork.

  11. Re:gloves? on New Smart Guns Will Have Fingerprint Readers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have eczema on my hands. I have no discernible fingerprints year round due to it. What am I to do? I guess the ADA won't cover me and my 2nd amendment rights.

  12. waah waah i oversold my product on Elon Musk: Negative Media Coverage of Autonomous Vehicles Could be 'Killing people' (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Autopilot was billed as this revolutionary technology that got idiots to think "hey we don't have to drive anymore the car will do it." Musk is basically beta testing with his customers as the beta group.

    Autonomous driving will be great when it gets here, but he is trying to oversell the current tech as revolutionary autonomous driving tech.

  13. Less than a month since the iPhone 7 comes out on Will The iPhone 8 Include Augmented Reality? (bgr.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And idiot bloggers are already churning out shit about a phone a year away. Yawn

  14. Are there strings attached? on Samsung Will Credit You $100 If You Exchange Your Note 7 For Another Samsung Phone (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Does the extra $100 cancel out your right to join legal action against them for selling you garbage?

  15. Just use the Hillary defense on Ken Bone May Have Violated FTC Guidelines With Uber Tweet (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He didn't know so he can't be held responsible. Easy enough.

  16. Why build one on Is Britain Secretly Funding Its Nuclear Submarine Program? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    When you can build two for Twice the price!

  17. Re:Open source a tool for subversion on Dropbox, Google Drive, GitHub and Microsoft OneDrive Cloud Services Blocked In Turkey (turkeyblocks.org) · · Score: 1

    being forced to use subversion would be torture

  18. "Mayor didn't know" on Baltimore Police Took 1 Million Surveillance Photos of City (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah bullshit. Mayor's office pushes policies on the police department and drives what they do and how they enforce law. They are exactly the ones that pushed this.

  19. Re:The government can fix this? on Bruce Schneier: We Need To Save the Internet From the Internet of Things (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    What makes anyone think the government would want to do that? They'd much rather it be wide open so they can get into systems. The last thing they want is to push down hardened security.

  20. The government can fix this? on Bruce Schneier: We Need To Save the Internet From the Internet of Things (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Really? The same one who let 30m clearance files on people get stolen by the Chinese because they didn't even leverage basic encryption? The congress which thinks the internet is just tubes? The FBI that thinks math is stupid and you can limit encryption?

    Yes, brilliant, you fucking idiot.

  21. Re:Finally some sensibility... on Comcast Rolls Out Nationwide 1TB Data Cap (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Of course not. 2GB of data on mobile is virtually the same price (if not more) on AT&T and the like as it was 10 years ago.

  22. Been usin AWS for years and dug deep into azure. Their services are so far behind AWS in every measure it isn't feasible for them to catch up. On cute a new region.

  23. Depends on the industry. Yahoo? will pay $0 in fines for their breach. If you were a hospital you'd see $50k per patient, which adds up quite fast, and doesn't include stupid things like credit monitoring.

    Good infosec doesn't cost a lot - the problem is no one gives a shit until after something happens. Then you shit can your CISO, who you ignored the entire time, because you need someone to take the blame.

  24. Yeah, we all know it was a rogue engineer on Volkswagen Engineer Pleads Guilty in US Diesel Emissions Probe (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    No one from top management pushed this down and forced their hands. He was just trying to save the company money! Always keep a paper trail.

    The best at illegally stealing from and putting Japanese Americans in concentration camps? Yeah. What an hero.
