  2. Re:Fake info generation to stop intrusive phone ap on Building Deception Into Encryption Software · · Score: 1

    Verbing of nouns weirds the language.

  3. Re:It might be an unpopular opinion... on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 1

    'good stewards of the data' Then how the fuck did Snowden get away with all the data he took? The problem is that he is probably neither the first, the only or the last leak of data from the NSA. The whole organization is a leaky sieve. That is why they should not have any personal data - who knows which mafioso will your banking details end up with it?

  4. Re:No on Is the West Building Its Own Iron Curtain? · · Score: 1

    Well, you can't very well let these terrorist librarians run wild can you? They just might start reading Karl Marx instead of Adam Smith and then you have a real problem.

  5. Re:Terrible summary on Searching For Dark Matter From Deep Under an Italian Mountain · · Score: 1

    Well, as the late great 'astronomer' Douglas Adams said: The missing matter is the plastic peanut packaging material that the universe came in.

  6. Just like thousands of BBS services before it on Facebook Is a Plague That'll Burn Out In a Few Years, Says Study · · Score: 1

    Facebook is really just an improved BBS and just like all the previous effors, it will eventually go the way of the Dodo. I think that is obvious. The real question is how long will it still last and this epidemiology model is probably a good estimator.

  7. Re:It Makes Sense For Lenovo on Lenovo To Buy IBM's Server Business For $2.3 Billion · · Score: 1

    That is why IBM is selling. Tablets and cell phones running on ARM processors is where it is at. Intel even closed a brand new factory just before they were supposed to open it.

  8. Re:Pay cash on Security Vendors Self-Censor Target Breach Details · · Score: 1

    Ya think? The banks know which serial numbers were issued to you at the ATM and they have your video mug shot as well.

  9. Copyright DMCA take down on Security Vendors Self-Censor Target Breach Details · · Score: 4, Funny

    Actually, the hackers filed a DMCA takedown to protect their user names and passwords.

  10. Re:water vapor plumes != liquid water on Water Plume Detected At Dwarf Planet Ceres · · Score: 1

    The water came from the previous solar system. The one that was here before our present sun was formed. Everything that is not hydrogen comes from the previous sun and most of it was formed in about 10 seconds, just before it blew up. The debris of that nova is spread throughout our solar system, so the same schtuff we have on earth, also occurs elsewhere.

  11. Re:Water=life on Water Plume Detected At Dwarf Planet Ceres · · Score: 2

    There is as much biotic life in the upper 3km of the earth crust, as there is on the surface and those organisms do not have any light.

  12. Drop your phone in the river on Ukrainian Protesters Receive Mass Text Message Ordering Them To Disperse · · Score: 1

    So the moral of the story is that if you are protester, then you better drop your cell phone in the river.

  13. Re:Mircea Popescu is very nice person on Romanian Bitcoin Entrepreneur Steps In To Pay OpenBSD Shortfall · · Score: 1

    You hear with your ears. The exclamation is 'Hear, hear!"

  14. Re:New business model! SpamBayes again... on Adware Vendors Buying Chrome Extensions, Injecting Ads · · Score: 1

    Adverts is just a different kind of spam email. Therefore before long, the same techniques will be applied to it and Bayesian self learning filters will take care of it.

  15. Re:Floppy discs and the programmers who use them! on OpenBSD Moving Towards Signed Packages — Based On D. J. Bernstein Crypto · · Score: 1

    OK, you jest, but I am not: Military/Government is a large part of the OpenBSD userbase. They still use a large number of antiquated and extremely, unbelievably expensive equipment. So it makes sense after all.

  16. Re:Overly paranoid on OpenBSD Moving Towards Signed Packages — Based On D. J. Bernstein Crypto · · Score: 1

    Military IT security motto is: We are not happy until you are not happy.

  17. Re:Overly paranoid on OpenBSD Moving Towards Signed Packages — Based On D. J. Bernstein Crypto · · Score: 1

    You are not paranoid if they really are out to get you and a large part of the OpenBSD userbase is Government/Military, so that is why.

  18. Re:Ads? on Adware Vendors Buying Chrome Extensions, Injecting Ads · · Score: 1

    That is why MS keeps pushing Windows XP. It provides the best ad performance.

  19. Re:But isn't that normal? on VPN Encryption Vulnerability On Android · · Score: 1

    Totally. This is not a security problem with Linux/Android. This is what happens when you install malware on a computer.

  20. Re:They fix it NOW??!?!?! on Microsoft Quietly Fixes Windows XP Resource Hog Problem · · Score: 1

    Well, XP is still extensively used by government users on virtual machines.

  21. Re:EOL installation media on Microsoft Quietly Fixes Windows XP Resource Hog Problem · · Score: 1

    The interesting thing with a nLite cut down XP, is that it generally prevents XP from picking up viruses, since some files that viruses need to install themselves, are missing.

  22. Re:before you go there on China's Government Unveils 'China Operating System' To Great Skepticism · · Score: 1

    I thought the American presidential kettle *is* black...

  23. Re:If that wasn't crueal and unreasonable... on Controversial Execution In Ohio Uses New Lethal Drug Combination · · Score: 1

    Well, they can always go back to hangings and guillotines. That is not 'unusual'.

  24. Hottest in 100 years = cooling down on Heat Waves In Australia Are Getting More Frequent, and Hotter · · Score: 1, Troll

    Well, hottest in 100 years, means that 100 years ago, it was hotter...
