  1. Looks like a bomb... on Box With Hidden Camera Travels Through the Mail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm actually surprised this didn't get flagged as it looks like a bomb.

  2. Re:not all that effective on Boston Officials Did Not Shut Down Cell Network After Marathon Bombing · · Score: 1

    It would not be hard at all to scramble everything. Just fly a Prowler and you can pick and choose what frequencies we jam. It is what we do in Iraq with convoys most of the time.

  3. What numbers? on ZDNet Proclaims "Windows: It's Over" · · Score: 0

    What numbers are they going off of? I just saw a bunch of ramblings of a lunatic in the article.

  4. Re:On TV now on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 2

    They are reporting they found ball bearings so definitely not accidental.

  5. Re:Totally using this in the future... on Iranians, Russians, and Chinese Hackers Are After You, Says Lawmaker · · Score: 1

    fast forward to where the US is a fully fascist state, maybe 2015 or so

    Fully fascist state and you expect an old newspaper article to protect you. Good luck with all of that....

  6. 140 Chars... on Yokohama Accidentally Tweets That NK Missile Is Inbound · · Score: 1

    Seriously a tweet is 140 characters, that's not something they can just write in a second if and when it happens?

  7. Re:CSS already supports it. on Gecko May Drop the Blink Tag · · Score: 1

    Yep that works in Firefox. So there is the new blink tag ;).

  8. Re:CSS already supports it. on Gecko May Drop the Blink Tag · · Score: 1

    The above did not work for me in FireFox 19.0.2.

  9. Lack of games... on Is the Wii U Already Dead? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Other then the new Super Mario Bros Game. I literally have no use for my Wii U at the moment. Once the new Nintendo franchise games start rolling out I would expect to see quite a rise in sales again.

  10. Re:Banking passwords are overrated on Everything You Know About Password-Stealing Is Wrong · · Score: 1

    Just to add to this I have Navy Federal (NavyFCU) and I can transfer money to accounts with no problem. In fact when ever I need to send a out of state friend money this is usually how I do it. As it beats PayPal as there are no transfer costs for me or for them.

  11. Re:It's not the frequency, it's the penetration on Fragmentation Leads To Android Insecurities · · Score: 1

    Honeycomb was designed only for tablets........

  12. Re:Ouya was more relevant, before. on OUYA Android Game Console Available In June · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Eh, I backed. I think it will be fun to fool around and program on due to the following: Android SDK, Connectable to my TV, Interface that does not require touch.

  13. Re:All worried until... on "Bill Shocker" Malware Controls 620,000 Android Phones In China · · Score: 2

    So if someone lives in a country where most devices come without Google Play Store, a country where even the manufacturers and carriers preload "black market Android marketplaces", where should he get apps instead?

    He should install the Google Play Store .apk?

  14. Re:"Secret" as in "well signposted"? on Secret UK Uranium Components Plant Closed Over Safety Fears · · Score: 1

    That's not secret that's just high security.

    Look at the NATO classifications if you need to understand what secret is.

  15. Re:Don't scan other people's systems on Student Expelled From Montreal College For Finding "Sloppy Coding" · · Score: 1

    No, but employees and in this case a student usually sign an internet policy / network agreement not to do this stuff. With the consequence of being fired / expelled.

  16. How does firefox handle searches? on Google Chrome 25 Will Serve Searches Over SSL From the Omnibox For All Users · · Score: 2

    Now I'm interested in how Firefox handle searches? Anyone know?

  17. My Rant.... on UK ISP PlusNet Testing Carrier-Grade NAT Instead of IPv6 · · Score: 5, Informative

    How the hell does slashdot.org not support IPV6, I thought this was a tech website?

  18. Re:Seems perfectly reasonable on New York Passes Landmark Gun Law · · Score: 1

    Sensible changes to how one legally acquires a gun and increased penalties for violence. Nobody's TERKIN YER GERNS. See how easy that is?

    Sensible changes to how one legally moves around the countries, Nobody's is taking your privacy, but I'm sorry we need your papers to ensure you are not a terrorist/pedophile/boggy man.

    Let's stop here and look at the numbers for vehicle deaths, firearm deaths, and poison deaths.
    Firearm Deaths: 31,672
    Motor Vehicle Deaths: 42,917
    Poisoning Deaths: 33,687

    Well to stop the motor vehicle deaths we are going to need roadside check points every 10 miles to ensure that you are driving safely and not operating your motor vehicle drunk. While we are at it lets also do random home inspections for your protection to make sure that you do not have any poison in your house. We both know it won't stop there. It will just be one knee jerk reaction one after another.

    "[manhandling] would have caused a hell of a lot more long-term injury to her than simply getting tazed would."

    It's not as though anyone has died from being tazed before.

    Oh wait.



    The thing I hate about these comments, is the reverse is exactly true as well.

    "[tazering] would have caused a hell of a lot more long-term injury to her than simply getting manhandling would."

    It's not as though anyone has died from being manhandling before.

    Oh wait.

  21. Re:Who is writing these headlines? on Nobel Prize Winner Got Free House and Free (as In Beer) Beer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why do you preface that with "to be honest"? Are you trying to imply that the rest of the time you're lying?

    That is an outstanding question, one of the best I read on Slashdot. Let me get back to you, I should give you a response back in like 10 minutes.

    To be honest I thought the headline was funny =/

  23. Re:Cooling on The Wii Mini Is Real, Arrives December 7 — In Canada · · Score: 4, Informative

    My son's Wii requires a fan be set up behind it for cooling or it shuts down.

    Presumably they fixed that for this version (may have fixed it previously...I don't know, I just use it for Netflix).



    That sounds like a clogged exhaust fan, I would just take a can of air to it, and possibly dissemble the fan and clean it. Never had that problem with mine and it runs in a small shelf under the TV.

  25. Re:And this is why I'll never live in a walled gar on Apple Orders Memory Game Developers To Stop Using 'Memory' In Names · · Score: 4, Informative

    Came here to say this too. Check "Allow Unknown Sources" in Settings, open .apk, install app. Perfectly allowable within the default Android setup, and yes, this is the setup that 95% of carriers use. (I've heard of some carriers taking away the Unknown Sources checkbox, but to my knowledge it's very uncommon.)

    AT&T used to not allow that, but once people started trying to download Amazon's app store and got a ton of flak over it. AT&T quickly gave people the ability to do so.
