  1. do they think the applicants come with a hardware backdoor?

  2. Just what I was waiting for... on Run Android 6.0 Marshmallow on Your PC With Android-x86 6.0 (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    NOT! My desktop works just great, thanks. Instead of Android 6.0 for my desktop, how about Android 6.0 for my Galaxy S4 mini? Or does that just make too much sense...

  3. Them's some mighty fine integrities you got there, Mr. Katz. Mighty fine.

  4. Making a point to revive what was arguably one of the worst "security" systems ever foisted upon the computing public... priceless. (D'oh!)

  5. that's some grass on Oracle Is Funding a New Anti-Google Group (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    must be some million-dollar, fancy-ass fescue grass roots, Ellison & Accountability in the same sentence. Oh pulease!

  6. monopolies on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Unreasonable Companies? · · Score: 5, Funny

    We give them monopolies over public utilities.

  7. Larry Ellison is an even bigger narcissist than Donald Trump. He NEVER loses! NEVER! At least according to Larry.

  8. The sky is falling. Ahhhhhhh! Bunch of self-serving bleep.

  9. and yay

  10. Why does the phrase "go pound sand" jump to mind?

  11. what a concept on Extortionists Begin Targeting AshleyMadison Users, Demand Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    maybe he should try being honest with his wife.

  12. that's more on Meet "London," Marshall's First Android Smartphone · · Score: 1

    and the Volume goes to 11. That's more.

  13. good idea on Men's Rights Activists Call For Boycott of Mad Max: Fury Road · · Score: 1

    Yeah, real good idea. Tie what shred of credibility you might have left to telling people not to see a movie that has already blown the doors off the theaters. Hey Clary, what's your encore: sticking a pencil in your eye?

  14. late to the party on Utilities Battle Homeowners Over Solar Power · · Score: 1

    So essentially they are saying "We fought every solar incentive tooth and nail, and now that's it's winning we want a bigger cut". Screw 'em. They bet on the wrong horse (and did their very best to kill off any other horse in the race) and now they see that they will be out of the money at the end of the race. Too bad, so sad.

  15. through the roof on Windows 10's Biometric Security Layer Introduced · · Score: 1

    You can expect the "I got locked out of my machine" help calls to go through the roof. Great.

  16. Re:Never trust them again on Lenovo Still Shipping Laptops With Superfish · · Score: 2

    There is not a single unit of electronics equipment made in China that can be trusted not to spy on you for some pretext. Not one. If you buy Chinese-made electronic equipment, you can expect to be spied on. That's what they do.

  17. a "time out"? on Google Sues Mississippi Attorney General For Conspiring With Movie Industry · · Score: 1

    what is this, Romper Room? everybody on the MPAA side was gung ho until these emails came out. "time out" my aunt tillie. put up or shut up, Mr. AG.

  18. George had it right... on Airbus Attacked By French Lawmaker For Talking To SpaceX · · Score: 1

    "Gonna play the sue me, sue you... blues!"

  19. plain and simple... on Uber's Android App Caught Reporting Data Back Without Permission · · Score: 1

    thieves. Gordon Gecko style thieves.

  20. Windows Ten! It's... on Test Version Windows 10 Includes Keylogger · · Score: 2

    Windows 7 + the NSA.

  21. No suprise... on An Open Source Pitfall? Mozilla Labs Closed, Quietly · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seems to be the way things work with the Mozilla crew. Look at the "progress" of the Thunderbird project. For over a decade people have been complaining about its inability to accurately render html, yet that problem still exists in the software today. No one wants to work on the un-sexy nuts and bolts stuff; everybody wants to be the guy who wrote the flashy new UI. Kinda difficult to do anything about it when you can't fire someone and hire a decent replacement.

  22. Re:So-to-speak legal on Comcast Allegedly Asking Customers to Stop Using Tor · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's the State of Comcast. They have no such niceties as "innocent until proven guilty". They can do whatever they want, because they own everybody who could possibly be effective in trying to do something about them. So let's let them swallow Time-Warner, too! All hail Comcast!

  23. finds little... on Massive Study Searching For Genes Behind Intelligence Finds Little · · Score: 1

    what? Little evidence of the gene, or (more plausibly IMHO) little evidence of intelligence?

  24. another major decision criteria on Apple Reveals the Most Common Reasons That It Rejects Apps · · Score: 1

    They forgot to mention the rejections due to the App Store reviewer having had an argument with his SO that morning, or had a lousy breakfast, or sat in a traffic jam, or ...

  25. Re: Two words: on Hidden Obstacles For Delivery Drones · · Score: 1

    They asked what issues drone delivery will face. My point is that the ability to anonymously take down a drone is way too much temptation for some to pass up. I think it highly likely that there will be attempts to bring them down. What I do personally has nothing to do with it. Sheesh.
