  1. Re:Doesn't Github already do this? on Google Code Deprecates Download Service For Project Hosting · · Score: 1

    So do it for them. As has been stated GitHub did this already, didn't see a crap ton of whining then.

  2. Re:Multiplayer works jsut fine. on Game Review: Borderlands 2 · · Score: 1

    I had some issues as well, due to the .net install that happens. after that I rebooted and haven't had any problems, no forwarded ports here either. just the windows firewall allow pop-up.

  3. Re:Lies on US Doctors Back Circumcision · · Score: 1

    I don't recall seeing anywhere that it will be forced on you, I understood it to be a recommendation and not a forced act. Please let me know if I'm wrong. Providing I'm correct, no one is going to force you to chop off your foreskin.

    Plus, you will learn to think faster to fill the dead air (at least how to think up BS, if not actual content). Trust me, it is worth it to learn how to speak without using "uh" and "um." Granted, doing it in front of people is somewhat harder, but the basic idea is the exact same.

    Why would I want to fill the silence with BS instead of a filler word? at least with a filler word like "uh" or "um" I'm not BSing people.

  5. Re:keyboard and mouse on PS4: What Sony Should and Shouldn't Do · · Score: 1

    *I haven't tried to use a keyboard and mouse so this is based on past experience with the PS2 That only helps if they also make it a req of the games to work with a keyboard and mouse, or allow re-mapping of the controls at the system level to make it so you can USE the keyboard and mouse in all the games.

  6. Re:iPad vs. all Android tablets on Why 2012 Will Be the Year of the Android Tablet · · Score: 1

    Which I have happen all the time with my Iphone 3G, I have had apps that had to be removed because I updated to OS and they stopped working. I reverted my OS and was able to use the apps again, so now I'm stuck back at the factory installed firmware because otherwise I lose apps I paid for. Not to mention each update makes my whole phone slower and feel a lot more sluggish

  7. Re:SpiceWorks on Essential Open Source Tools For Windows Admins · · Score: 1

    It's not open source. I agree it's awesome and I use it, but the article is about Open Source windows admin tools.

  8. Re:I hate InfoWorld on Essential Open Source Tools For Windows Admins · · Score: 1

    It's not installable on a server OS and it's also not licensed to run in a commercial environment with more than 10 PC's. Chances are if your a full time admin for a business you have more than 10 PC's in the office.

    A griefer could then report you, so your solution isn't ideal.

    What's a griefer?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griefer basically someone who does things purposely to cause other people grief. They enjoy making people upset or mad, and will take the slightest thing as an excuse to start causing you grief.

    Depends on your settings, you can set the app to only upload when on a wi-fi connection, or only upload videos if on wi-fi and photos when connected to your mobile data, or do both on mobile data, or not upload auto anything.

  11. Re:Since that site is /.'ed, try this one on 30 Creative 404 Error Pages · · Score: 1

    FYI They don't clean up their links. I clicked on 4 or 5 and only 1 actually took me to a 404, the rest brought me to a godaddy ad page, and google.

  12. Re:Ripped music on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Scrub Pirated Music From My Collection? · · Score: 1

    Wrong question, the question is can they prove that you DON'T own that CD and never have? You are innocent until proven guilty. Also I have been ripping CD's for the years, some of those CD's have been broken, or lost, I don't keep receipts for decades, prove I never bought it.

  13. Re:Has this actually happened? on Increased Power Usage Leads to Mistaken Pot Busts for Bitcoin Miners · · Score: 2

    It is in fact a "safety inspection". I believe they do need a warrant to get into your home unless you let them in, I don't know if the would need extra evidence to get the warrant or not. here is a link. BCLocalNews. There is also a $5200 that can be charged to you regardless of if you have a grow op or not, though it is not always charged. here is another link Globe&Mail

  14. Re:Summary is misleading on NVIDIA Gets Away With Bait-and-Switch · · Score: 1

    but if the lawsuit was filed three years ago and the laptops were busted then, shouldn't they be getting equivalent value for the laptops of that time, ie, if their laptop was worth $1500 3 years ago they should be getting a laptop worth $1500 today. That is when the claim was filed.

    the original Rainbow Six was very much like that. :P Though I agree most are not.

    They are hot-plugable on any system if you want to risk killing your ps/2 controller. As the poster right above you pointed out Wikipedia PS/2. Having said that I hot-plug them all the time and have only killed a couple ports. Those that do die I grab a USB keyboard and voila they are back up and running.

  19. Re:Cryptography FAIL on Canon's Image Verification System Cracked · · Score: 1

    That's not true, if I wait till after it's been copied off the camera that means I only know what was submitted is free of tampering from that time on. I have no clue what was done to it before you submitted it. This is why the encryption needs to be on the camera.

  20. Re:we have the same policy at work on When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone · · Score: 1

    Not only that but from the company's perspective what if they fire that employee. He now has all the info he needs to do exactly what your talking about. Doesn't matter if the company had no idea that he was forwarding the email obviously their security isn't secure enough.

  21. Re:we have the same policy at work on When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's a massive security breach, one I wouldn't allow on my network. You may want to check your corporate policies and make sure your still inline or you could be fired.

  24. Re:Someone help me out here on NRO Warns They Are On Final IPv4 Address Blocks · · Score: 1

    Hopefully not as that will destroy the whole point of the internet. If we are in NAT behind NAT we can no longer have a true peer to peer internet. It will become a publishers dream and the freedom folks nightmare. :( Regardless of what OS your running on I would imagine that the easiest way to continue the way we have been is for there to be home routers that work in IPV6 on the net but IPV4 in the LAN. Not being a network guru I'm not sure how easy that would be to make.

  25. Re:time for a union? on Flat Pay Prompts 1 In 3 In IT To Consider Jump · · Score: 1

    No, time for an IT organization that peer reviews work habits and puts the info publicly available so that employers know what they are getting. It would also help to have an organization like that to backup why the it managers need 3 employees instead of the 1 that upper management think they should get. They would have a body of standards behind them.
