  1. Shock as sites designed for professional use leave responsibility for choosing secure password to their clients!

  2. This has the usual issue on UK Wants To Criminalize Re-Identification of Anonymized User Data (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    A UK user could be re-identified in another country. For some reason the UK government can't get its head round the fact that the internet is international. Looking at the crimes which can be tried in the UK when committed abroad I think that someone from the UK could even just pop over to France or Ireland, identify somebody, then pop back and they couldn't do anthing

    worst of all religions.

    No the worst of all religions is the one that goes round gathering sex slaves, raping little girls, and beheading those of other faiths.

  4. Re:Fantastic idea.... on Massive Solar Plant In the Sahara Could Help Keep the EU Powered (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Agree. One advantage of renewables is that you van avoid giving money to Jihadis - and this is handing it right back to them

  5. Rather a pilot-less plane than a Muslim pilot on Pilotless Planes Could Save Airlines $35 Billion Per Year, But Passengers Aren't Willing To Fly In Them Yet (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    You never know when they are going to decide to collect their 72 virgins

    By caste you would have guessed that "Modi" was probably a cleaner or street seller

  7. The real obstacle is Islam on 'Elon Musk's Hyperloop Is Doomed For the Worst Reason' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    ever noticed that the tallest buildings in the world are in Muslim countries, or in China. The obvious reason is that if you build one in the West the muslims will be queuing up to destroy it. Only Islamic countries, or countries which recognise and deal with the threat of Islam decisively get to have these buildings. The same will go with hyperloops. This is why it is likely that there will be one between Dubai and Abhu Dabi before anywhere in the West. And if we did have one there would have to be airline-like baggage checks and security, and it would have to be sufficiently deep to make it difficult for the muslims to dig to without being noticed.

  8. Re:There's your problem! on Being Outside Could Become Deadly In South Asia, Says Study (go.com) · · Score: 1

    If the term "wet bulb" isn't obvious to you then the Wikipedia Wet-bulb temperature article will explain it.

    I could even imagine a cool sounding name for it.

    That will quite literally be the only cool thing about it

    The wet bulb temperature is above 31C most of the fucking time in Vegas. How many die? Hmmmm.

    No it isn't, the average annul wet bulb temperature is 50.7 F (10.3C) and the average in July is 65F (18.3C). Don't forget Las Vegas is dry so there is considerable cooling by evaporation

  11. So they are just looking for someone who can leverage existing basic isolation protocols to create additional protocols for returning missions.

    No ray guns involved. :-(

    Yes but what a great job title. Imagine having "Planetary Protection Office" on your business cards

  12. Not far from Gom Jabbar which you want to avoid with your neck

    Thank you Muad'Dib.

  13. Pakistan is a terrorist country on Calibri Font Plays Its Role: Pakistan Now Sans Sharif as Prime Minister is Disqualified (neowin.net) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    9% of Pakistanis view ISIS as positive. The intelligence services aided the Mumbai terrorist attacks. In comparison a little embezzlement by the PM is a small concern.

  14. That's why companies who want to retain people on The Quitting Economy (aeon.co) · · Score: 1

    That's why companies who want to retain people need incentives. A good internal career path goes without saying, as well as the training and fair salary reviews which go with it. Things like stock options and bonuses also do well, especially if these build up with time. The best incentive of all is now almost impossible to find, the final salary pension scheme based on years of employment.

  15. Re:What about toilets? on India's Transport Minister Vows To Ban Self-Driving Cars To Save Jobs (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What about self driving toilets?

    I'm sure that once Uber switch to self-driving cars, the person who books a car that was last used for a pub run will get a complimentary turd.

  16. They ban trasgendered for no reason, but allow muslims to serve despite the many attacks by them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... http://www.thegatewaypundit.co...

  17. Sod locked firmware on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Avoid Routers With Locked Firmware? · · Score: 2

    I'd be happy if we could just stop Americans from pronouncing it "rawter". They need to learn the difference between "rout" and "route".

    You mean this whole idea of spending billions on a flashy project with absolutely zero profit potential was all publicity-generating bullshit designed to boost Elon Musk's cult of personality?? No way!

    I think he has just got bored with his space toys, and decided to play with the digging toys for a bit.

  20. In a rare burst of insight, he tweeted a couple years ago that Diet Coke doesn't seem to help him control his weight because it only made him hungrier.

    He was referring to he type of coke you snort

    Because they never have them turned on - it would make them accountable for their deliberate law breaking.

    Unless they introduce AI to recognise police brutality and turn the camera off

  23. Will Quantum encryption be legal? on Crypto-Bashing Prime Minister Argues The Laws Of Mathematics Don't Apply In Australia (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Will Quantum encryption be legal, or do Australian laws come above the laws of physics too?

  24. I for one look forward to Australia's War on Mathematics.

    They are allocating a billion dollars to it. 50% will be on publicity, 50% on enforcement when a law of mathematics conflicts with policy and another 50% on education, so that mathematicians learn the real Australian laws. A further 50% is contingency and will be returned to the treasury if not required.

  25. This post is a joke right? American-born, non-Muslims kill more people in a year in mass shootings than all Muslim terrorist attacks combined.

    This is a joke right? You know that ISIS were killing faster than statisticians count.
