  1. Unfortunately.... on Yahoo Secretly Scanned Customer Emails For US Intelligence (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY!

    "....Nobody here but yahoo customers...."

    Both DRUNK on Ethanol.

  5. FB,... is under no obligation whatsoever to guarantee freedom of speech for users....

    Eventually we will all be Chinese....

  6. Technology can't fix fraud.

    If it could we would have no fraud. Instead we have more fraud. Fraud is a matter of social engineering, poor legislature, but most of all its profitable for everyone except the victim. Victims will be the little guy, who can't possibly battle the obfuscation of credit repair and our incompetent injustice system (courts) fail to function. Banks and retailers shrug their shoulders and then cater to their bigger new customer base: the nouveau riche criminals.

    UNTIL WE PUT THE BURDEN OF FRAUD ON THE BANKS WHO TRANSACT EVERYTHING IT WILL NEVER STOP.

    Back in the "old" days of Wells Fargo, stealing the loot was called BANK ROBBERY. Now they call it identity theft. That is why Wells Fargo made millions of FAKE new accounts to plunder. THEY GET PAID EVEN WHEN ITS FRAUD. WAKE UP FOLKS. WE NEED NEW RULES NOT TECHNOLOGY TO FIX THIS.

    I apologize for shouting, but everyone is clueless. Banks and insurance companies need to go extinct before society can truly prosper. Its feudalism, plain and simple and we need to get over it. Maybe after the next mass extinction.

  7. Re:Not an open source issue on Ask Slashdot: Should An Open Source Hardware Project Support Clones? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I like Clones best when they wear big shoes and juggle. The Chinese are really good jugglers and they need not clone what they already prototype and manufacture for the West. Apple begins with Asia. Cupertino has reverse engineered the weak Chinese currency to benefit their labor costs while price gouging their countrymen and keeping that wealth out of circulation, in reserve for share holders. So they send in Clones and we provide the Comedy and Tragedy of the decline of US prosperity. Now send in the clones, and we'll provide the Clowns.

  8. Re:Don't Procecute on Federal Prosecutors Actually Prosecute H1-B Fraud (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    But we lose another domestic industry - now even more American Citizens lose fraud & treason jobs because of illegal aliens in our harbors !

    I don't want to be alerted about FAKE zombies, just the REAL ones so I know who is running for Congress.

  12. Excuses: Incompetence or Greed? on Yahoo Insiders Believe Hackers Could Have Stolen Over 1 Billion Accounts (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't believe a word of it. If it were true, they would lie and say something else. Their only reason for announcing this is to manipulate the public opinion and to cover their corporate asses and branding. The fact is, if they announce a billion stolen passwords then I guess we no longer can accuse Yahoo of selling them, or the rest of the data mine that goes with it. And Verizon can't be blamed either, they never had control of the treasure. The timing of this announcement, to a degree of truthiness, was perfectly timed at the moment the Verizon deal was ready to go into escrow, perhaps. It is a hedge on public opinion when the customer realizes that somebody has sold them out: it was hackers. Yahoo would never dream of cashing in and selling you out, and neither would Verizon. That's why Yahoo and Verizon are transacting billions of bucks while hackers just transact a billion accounts and the customers wonder how many billion spam emails they received before criminals were involved. Its all conflated to firmly steer awareness you've been totally sold out, in violation of the promise to the customer, but its not their fault - the hacker's did it - its a criminal act, not yahoo's fault, because they are struggling incompetent boobs, and Verizon is so perfect a corporation that the hacker's only chance to get in was before the Verizon deal and security gauntlet arrived.

    Double doody

    Truth is the last thing that needs to be stated in the news. Everything is a paid advertisement, even the programming between commercials. We're the product when it comes to mass media. Do you feel like you've been screwed? Who pimps customer meat? We must be the human traffic.

  13. I want a refund... on Microsoft Bungles This Week's Windows 10 Anniversary Update (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    ...nevermind.

  14. Show me the data... on IBM Buys Promontory Financial Group (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    My guess is that they bought this financial because they like how they manage financial DATA as much as money.

    Funny money "cash is king" fades into new frontiers of quantum processing and encryption. - And Watson has always been about winning the horse race (or at Jeopardy) by being fast and first.... Its just a hunch but I bet thats what IBM is after in this buyout.

    Watson can't appreciate a high salary, but he certainly would if the currency was hot nude data- not money. He devours the best and earliest data feeds for his big blue brain to munch on at top performance.. Every nanosecond counts in the physics of quanta playbook that equates time and money, hypothetically. Impossibly they may exceed the speed of light in order to get the drop on competitors, in order win at monopoly....

  15. As long as it scales in parallel to money, its nothing new or revolutionary. New gun for hire, different day.
