  1. 90% of System Admins could easily be replaced on Why the NSA Can't Replace 90% of Its System Administrators · · Score: 1

    With a few hundred well written powershell scripts.

  2. Re:Can somebody please rein in California? on NSA Spying Hurts California's Business · · Score: 1

    It never reins in California.

  3. The porn industry in Finland on Finnish Minister Wants To Expand Pornography Censorship · · Score: 1

    is finnished.

  4. The real reason MS escaped the list ... on Microsoft Escapes Kaspersky's Top 10 Vulnerabilities List · · Score: 0

    They finally paid off the FSB.

  5. Sick of hearing about Ayn Rand on Is Silicon Valley Morally Bankrupt and Toxic? · · Score: 1

    It would be more honest to follow the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition rather than Ayn Rand, at least the Ferengi have moral clarity.

  6. Re:As opposed to all the other industries? on Is Silicon Valley Morally Bankrupt and Toxic? · · Score: 1

    No, but I know one that sure helps out Apple and Walmarts bottom line.

  7. Milton in the Middle on Post Mortem of GunnAllen IT Meltdown · · Score: 2

    Why would senior network engineer need to send traffic home to verify his routing patterns? Yeah right, he scammed millions and they covered it up to avoid more fines. Now, he and his red stapler, are at some beach resort complaining about the Mai Tais.

  8. The Fine Article is not about Alibaba.com on China's Alibaba To Outsell Amazon, eBay Combined · · Score: 1

    It is about Taobao, which is owned by the Alibaba Group.
    In simplified English for those who can't RTFA
    Taobao $ > eBay $ + Amazon $
    Taobao's targets the same consumers as Amazon and eBay, except they do it in China.

    When Taobao comes to the US, it will be interesting.

  9. Re:But... on New Flat Lens Focuses Without Distortion · · Score: 1

    Offtopic??? That was classic, should have at least been modded as Funny.

  10. It doesn't matter on The Chinese Telecom That Spooks the World · · Score: 1

    They can't catch Chinese athletes that are doping, I doubt they can tell if Huawei gear is not back-doored.

  11. That was awesome, but .... on Artist's Catcopter Causes a Stir · · Score: 1

    Didn't the quadrotor look a little catatonic?

  12. Slackware on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Distro For Linux Lessons? · · Score: 1

    Learn Redhat, know Redhat. Learn Slackware, know Linux.

  13. Apple isn't going to lean to hard on its suppliers, its all about the bottom line. After this drops off the news cycle, people will go back to 'Thinking Different' and not caring where their bright and shiny gadgets come from. Shareholders only care about profitability, not human welfare. As long as Apple keeps on producing the next iWant, workers in the cheap labor producing countries are out of luck.

  14. Re:Easy fix. on Did North Korea Conduct Secret Nuclear Tests? · · Score: 1

    Forget China, South Korea doesn't want unification because they would end up paying the bill. The unification of East and West Germany did not go that well in the beginning and North Korea does not come close to East Germany.

    OTOH, if North and South do reunite, Scott Evil (aka Kim jong Un) wouldn't be so ronery.

  15. I Give Up on Sorry, IT: These 5 Technologies Belong To Users · · Score: 2

    Where do I pay money to stop this Infoworld astroturfing?

  16. How to Game Slashdot 2 Days in a Row on Businesses Now Driving "Bring Your Own Device" Trend · · Score: 1

    Biased article + InfoWorld + Galen Gruman = PROFIT

    Gruman's articles are not well researched or balanced and look like marketing slicks.

  17. Re:probably a bit of a thug but on North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Il Dead at 70 · · Score: 1

    You should have stopped with "I really don't know much..."

  18. Reading the User Comments Put Me in Workmode on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 1

    After the first sentence in most of the enduser comments, I tuned out: Blah, blah, we make the real money, IT is just the hired help, blah blah we should outsource, blah blah PCs work automagically anyways. Yeah OK, let me know if VoIP and the new MPLS circuit really are plug and play.

    Remember IT policies are like stoplights, they are there for a reason, usually its that somebody in your department screwed up, big time, and it took a lot of time to fix it. Look at the desired end result of the offending IT policy, if you have a better way to do it, say something about it.

    If in fact, an IT policy is truly bad, it came from management, not your IT infrastructure professionals. People are hired into a IT management position, that are qualified as managers, directors, C-level, but lack the technical background to make informed IT decisions, which creates a nightmare for IT staff and the endusers.

    Jimmy Fallon's skit is amusing, but this one sums things up better - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_Kfjo3VjU/

    Hail Mordac

  19. Engenius APs on Ask Slashdot: Updating a Difficult Campground Wi-Fi Design? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Take a look at Engenius' access points, I think their multihop repeater solution might fit your needs http://www.engeniustech.com/index.php/networking/solutionsdatacom/

  20. Re:Hook it up to Facebook on Startup Testing Mobile Farmbots · · Score: 2

    I also admit that I saw "fembot" .

  21. End Corporate Welfare on Ron Paul Suggests Axing 5 U.S. Federal Departments (and Budgets) · · Score: 1

    Stop the handouts and quotas for agribusiness, handing out juicy federal contracts to companies that offshore their profits and have a per transaction stupidity tax on financial companies that don't put money away for a rainy day while they engage in highly complex, high risk financial transactions and expect the US taxpayer to bail them out. Then move on to screwing over the little guy.

  22. Idiots Gets Robbed After Leaving Front Door Open on Hackers May Have Nabbed Over 200 SSL Certificates · · Score: 1

    Blaming hackers, foreign governments and "them" after security compromised? Absolute garbage, then to follow up on their malfeasance they did not disclose the full extent of the breach.This plays like a broken record, no penalties and no responsibility.

    A provider of physical security ( locksmith or alarm technician ) are bonded against screwups, why can't cert vendors do the same?

  23. Fake 'til you make it. on Ask Slashdot: Best Certifications To Get? · · Score: 1

    LPI (LPIC1or 2 ) is a good one to have for Linux, for MS - MCTS for server and Win 7, a CCNA is good if you work in a Cisco shop or plan to, but don't get it just to have it. Download VirtualBox or VMWare ESXi so you can practice in a virtual environment, even after you get your certification, you will learn a lot more from problems you solve on your own, than prepping for exams. GNS3 is a good simulator for Cisco routers, not as good as the real thing, but its a start.

    Stick with the entry level certs for now and don't waste your time on CompTIA certs.

  24. This needs to be stopped ... on Accidental Find May Lead To a Cure For Baldness · · Score: 1

    How else are we going to have bad guys for comic books and movies? Could you picture Lex Luthor or Dr. Evil with hair? That would be a lite version of a quasi-evil bad guy. Baldness is badness, the entertainment industry cannot be wrong after all these years.

  25. Re:Take it from an African on Bridging the Digital Divide In Uganda, By Freight · · Score: 1

    After reading such vomit inducing drivel from my fellow African, the parent should have been titled, "Take it from an Afrikaner". I mean that in the most unpleasant way, which the original inhabitants of Southern Africa have had to do endure for generations.
