Comment What Nonsense (Score 1) 51

Amazon are turning their search into a paid search. That's fine while it's a small part of the business but their is a limit because the products need to relevant. The reason that this guy is paying nothing for the ads is because they didn't sell. If he said "I paid $250 and sold $1,000,000" then great but really this is just bullshit.

Comment Upgrade on curent Breaking Force screens? (Score 1) 191

Is this just an upgrade on the standard Breaking Force feature that comes with all current iphone screens. If you are using Android then you may not know about this novel iphone feature. To enable Breaking Force on your iphone you simply touch / drop the device onto a surface. The screen then displays a spider web pattern. You then pay £100 to have it pattern removed and start again.

Comment What a load of FUD! (Score 0) 150

This article is complete FUD. According to Synology "this issue only affects Synology NAS servers running some older versions of DSM (DSM 4.3-3810 or earlier), by exploiting a security vulnerability that was fixed and patched in December, 2013." Like any operating system - if you don't patch it then you it will be probably be vunerable to hacking. Just upgrade to the lastest version. As you were.

You're not anonymous. You have created a slashdot user and online name for yourself. http://slashdot.org/~Alomex You could have clicked the 'Post Anonymously" button but you didn't.

Could you please explain what govement employee financial records and private lives have to do with freedom of speech? It doesn't. The govement doesn't want to look into people private lives. The internet is fundementally a public space and if you break the law then you should be accountable. I.e. if you bully people online then it should be possible to find and bring you to justice.

Comment Freedom of speech doesn't require anonymity (Score 0) 282

I think this is a great idea. Freedom of speech / expression doesn't require anonymity. Everyone seems to forget that we had freedom of speech before the internet and for freedom of speechm to work, you actually need some basic rules of fair play. This protect other basic rights which are required for society of work. I.e. You need to be able to stop people being hateful, terrorising or bullying each other. You also need to stop things which might negatively affect national security, publc safety and basic human right.
