  1. Re:Home Depot is getting off cheap on Home Depot Says Hackers Grabbed 53 Million Email Addresses · · Score: 2

    Stolen credit card numbers are easily fixed. The thieves have stolen information which can be used for identity theft which is much much harder to fix.

  2. Re:If they're going literal.... on Undersized Grouper Case Lands In Supreme Court · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "The SEC hasn't used false certification against executives from any of the major banks suspected of misleading the public about their finances during the crisis."

    Apparently the law was intended to be used against fishermen and not CEOs of banks.

  3. nope on Net Neutrality Alone Won't Solve ISP Throttling Abuse, Here's Why · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Video streams... examples of activities that require low-latency packet delivery to function smoothly."

    No they don't. Bad example.

  5. Re:If so damn many people are making nukes on Buying Goods To Make Nuclear Weapons On eBay, Alibaba, and Other Platforms · · Score: 1

    When are we going to start controlling the production of urine?

    Urine can be used to make gunpowder.

  6. This deal stinks on Free Broadband For NYC Public Housing? · · Score: 1

    What the NY politicians are trying to do is make themselves look good to the public and to Comcast at the same time.

    In exchange for some minor concessions that make the politicians look good with the public they will simultaneously restrict competition resulting in higher rates for everyone else and increasing Comcast profits.

    Comcast was likely the ones who made this proposal to the NY politicians in the first place.

  7. Re:Consumer education on Smart Meters and New IoT Devices Cause Serious Concern · · Score: 1

    Mostly useless. Consumers have been warned before. Most have ignored this advice because they have not yet experienced a case where they believe they have been personally harmed.

  8. Re:I would send that TV back on Smart Meters and New IoT Devices Cause Serious Concern · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Which TV?

    Article is useless in that no one is able to independently verify that what the writer says is true.

  9. Re:A Good Idea. on "Ambulance Drone" Prototype Unveiled In Holland · · Score: 1

    You know what would save lives... a database and an app that would instantly tell you the location of the nearest defrib.

  10. I am OK with AT&T throttling my ads.

  11. Re:Relax - CurrentC will Support using Credit Card on Why CurrentC Will Beat Out Apple Pay · · Score: 1

    Let's pretend CurrentC will allow credit cards, even though the whole point of the system is to circumvent credit card processing fees

    Why pretend? CurrentC does allow processing through store credit cards.

  12. Re:Automated digesting on Google Announces Inbox, a New Take On Email Organization · · Score: 1

    It was figured out a long time ago, get modern and use RSS instead of email for notifications.

  13. Re:What future? on The Future of Stamps · · Score: 1

    You might use USPS if you don't want third parties to read your messages.

  14. Re:Free Market Solution on An Algorithm to End the Lines for Ice at Burning Man · · Score: 1

    There is another simple free market solution to long queues: increase the number of ice suppliers.

  15. Re:Distasteful stuff, but should not be illegal on Manga Images Depicting Children Lead to Conviction in UK · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The problem is there are not enough pedophiles to prosecute. The state has been forced to "create" pedophiles.

  16. solution on An Algorithm to End the Lines for Ice at Burning Man · · Score: 1

    Offer 100 bags of ice for $250. Problem solved.

  17. Re:So what qualifies? on In UK, Internet Trolls Could Face Two Years In Jail · · Score: 2

    Here is an example of what qualifies under this act:

    "Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!!"

  18. Re:Much as I despise trolls on In UK, Internet Trolls Could Face Two Years In Jail · · Score: 1

    The purpose of the law is not to silence trolls. Trolls will not be the ones going to jail.

  19. lots of people have patents on Ask Slashdot: Handling Patented IP In a Job Interview? · · Score: 1

    Lots of employees have written and filed patents. Employers are fully aware that these patents are the property of other companies and they can not use them. Your situation is different only to an insignificant degree.

  20. banking websites on Password Security: Why the Horse Battery Staple Is Not Correct · · Score: 1

    My banking websites would be much more secure if they disallowed any access from Eastern Europe.

  21. Re:Oh great on Password Security: Why the Horse Battery Staple Is Not Correct · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Love is beautiful, like birds that sing." is more secure than "Lib,lbts". Why are you making your password less secure?

  22. graphical display on Liking Analog Meters Doesn't Make You a Luddite (Video) · · Score: 1

    A graphical display is easier to read than a digital readout. This has nothing to do with whether or not the display is analog.

  23. Re:Lots of cheap carbon stuff on Living On a Carbon Budget: The End of Recreation As We Know It? · · Score: 1

    Nope. Hiking is not a environmentally friendly form of travel. CO2 is expelled from one end and methane from the other end. For environmental reasons please choice an alternative form of travel.

  24. Re:I wish theyd make up their mind on FCC Puts Comcast and Time Warner Merger On Hold · · Score: 4, Insightful

    My experience is AT&T is worse than Comcast.

  25. low res pictures on Online Creeps Inspire a Dating App That Hides Women's Pictures · · Score: 1

    Article is about the picture's attractiveness... website only provides low res pictures so that the readers can not independently judge attractiveness or determine if perhaps there is something else in the picture that matters.
