  1. Re:And The Arms Race Continues..... on Google Chrome Will No Longer Autoplay Content With Sound In January 2018 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Fine with me. They can join Forbes in my go-fuck-yourself list.

  2. Re:I can't wait to pay $20/m for a disney streamin on Disney Is Pulling Star Wars and Marvel Films From Netflix (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    The new Star Trek is CBS All Access only.

  3. Re:Kind, compassionate idiots on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 2

    So what you're saying is, you're too fucking stupid to understand what "insurance" is. I honestly can't tell if you're just a fucking liar, or actually as completely fucking stupid as your posts make you out to be.

    Insurance is for catastrophic unforeseen events. Obamacare is pre-paid health care. You don't use car insurance to fill your gas tank, change the oil, or get a new tire. Why the hell do you need medical insurance for a routine predictable medical event?

  4. Re:Contact on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    Contact was based on a novel by Carl Sagan. It was a very faithful adaptation.

  5. Re:Load malware? on Mousejack Attacks Exploit Wireless Keyboards and Mice (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    “It would take a matter of seconds for the attacker's code to load a rootkit, malware or additional network access.”

    Really? With just keystrokes and mouse moves? With no feedback about where the keystrokes and clicks end up?

    Win-R -> http://www.malicious-site.com/ -> flash exploit (or whatever)

    matter of seconds.

  6. Re: What could go wrong on France To Pave 1000km of Road With Solar Panels (solarcrunch.org) · · Score: 1

    It produced more power than they predicted.

    How much more? You should watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  7. Re:foxnews.com on A Legal Name Change Puts 'None of the Above' On Canadian Ballot (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you dispute the legitimacy of the article? It's about as vanilla straight news as it gets.

  8. Re:Netflix? Try the studios instead on Geoblocking, Licensing, and Piracy Make For Tough Choices at Netflix (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    you have to make reasonable steps to ensure that you're not breaking the law. Wilful ignorance is not good enough.

    Breaking what law?

  9. Re:But she was drinking on DUI Charges Dismissed Against Woman Whose Body Brews Alcohol (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    She had four drinks that afternoon. Granted that shouldn't make her falling down drunk, but she was drinking and she was impaired.

    Four drinks over six hours. That wouldn't make anyone falling down drunk.

  10. Yeah, and...? on Anthem Blocking Federal Auditor From Doing Vulnerability Scans · · Score: 1

    Scan them anyway? What, are they going to use harsh language?

  11. Re:Any Memory?? what judge will go on just that? on Police Using Dogs To Sniff Out Computer Memory · · Score: 1

    I think you miss the point. A search cannot be legally executed unless there is probable cause established before hand.

    A hit by a police dog IS probable cause.
