  1. Fightclub on DHS X-ray Car Scanners Now At Border Crossings · · Score: 1

    Someone do drive-bys with EMPs please. Destroy their equipment with as little electronic collateral damage as possible.

  2. Question them back. on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Deal With Roving TSA Teams? · · Score: 1

    Ask for documentation/proof of their "right" and your requirement for compliance. Refuse in the meantime. Think of it like them asking for your ID. You're not required to have it, they can ask for it and they will pressure you until hell breaks loose. But it's not required. At least not where I am.

  3. Not new. on IBM Tracks Pork Chops From Pig To Plate · · Score: 1

    Isn't this just plain old lot tracking?

  4. Yes, please do. on Wikipedia Debates Strike Over SOPA · · Score: 1

    They ought to just land every article on a SOPA/PIPA article with links to petition for the period.

  5. Bad sumamry on US Bans Loud Commercials · · Score: 1

    I came here to blindly say something about "the same volume as network newscasts" where the stations could run their non-newscast programmes at a lower volume while keeping the commercial volume at newscast volume... Then I RTFA. It's "the same average volume as the programs they accompany". Not just the news. I thought that was already the law?

  6. Haha, on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    Awesome. I hope they do return it in pieces as a result of their reverse engineering, as a slap in the face.

  7. If you can't look at something you can't attack it on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think suicide bombers would disagree.

  8. Re:My friends don't send me emails on E-Mail Can Reveal Your Friend Hierarchy · · Score: 1

    Ha! Ha! You have social interaction.

  9. Re:Still not so sure on Fedora 16 Released · · Score: 1

    I forget what option I turned off in Gnome3 to get my productivity back, but I think it had to do with turning "acceleration" off in preferences. After that you get your icons and menus back, but you're unable to change the theme (its stuck on grey on black)

  10. Re:Police Ssurveillance on Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found On SUV · · Score: 1

    The word.

  11. I love it! on High School Kills Color-Coded ID Program · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be great if the good performers had white cards, where the poor ones had colored cards, and the lines had clearly legible signs saying "WHITE" and "COLORED"?

  12. Re:I wonder on DHS Goes Ahead With 'Pre-Crime' Detection Project · · Score: 1

    Everyone that walks through a US airport.

  13. I recommend people read this blog on Steve Jobs Dead At 56 · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you haven't already, filter through http://folklore.org/ , his antics at the beginning of Apple are hilarious.

  14. Re:Usability on India Launches $35 Tablet · · Score: 1

    I used to use a Sharp Clio as an e-reader many years ago - a WinCE device like 80MHz, 16MB Ram. You don't need anything fancy to display text and browse the intertubes at all. Its only shor-tcomming was its horrible horrible viewing angle. I even scanned textbooks and used it to recall the images from a CF card. Wifi even worked with a PCMCIA card, but since the OS was so old no divers exist(ed) for WEP/WPA networks.

  15. Fake it out on Facebook Confirms New Cookie-Tracking Issue · · Score: 2

    Write a greasemonkey script to write the cookie over with, say, Zuckerberg's profile ID? So everywhere you go tracks to his profile (but not tied to you)

  16. Re:wat on SlideShare Ditches Flash, Rebuilds Site In HTML5 · · Score: 1

    For what, the ATM machine?

  17. You're doing it wrong. on Google Drops Cloud Lawsuit Against US Government · · Score: 1

    Wait for the changes THEN drop suit. Don't preemptively do so on "promises", especially from the USA.

  18. Re:Centralized reporting on Why Public Email Needs a Police Force · · Score: 1

    I've been using spamcop for almost 10 years now. I only ever get a response from a postmaster/admin maybe once every few months (with ~20 reports/day sent) though I do it with hopes to have a spam-free day someday. Maybe it's just spam networks cycling like the seasons. Lately a great number of them seem to be coming from some indian company tatacommunications, It would appear that they don't care that they are a large proponent of my spam.

  19. Re:Why? on Apple Laptops Vulnerable To Battery Firmware Hack · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I had it in my head the comment meant replacing the cells in the battery pack. Which is what I usually do with other devices as its much cheaper. Disregard.

  20. Re:Why? on Apple Laptops Vulnerable To Battery Firmware Hack · · Score: 1

    The firmware, however, still thinks the cells are dead and reports so to the charger/OS.

  21. Re:Tip: Yahoo can import Facebook email+name on Google+: Tools, Names, and Facebook · · Score: 1

    Same here, I was surprised it exposed everyone's email address when its not visible on their profile. Quick and easy, though!

  22. Re:Let me get this out of the way on Judge OKs Wiretap Lawsuit Over Google Wi-Fi Sniffing · · Score: 1

    ...If walls are good enough as a symbolic privacy shield for your speech, they should be good enough for the radio as well.

    Sure, if your walls were Faraday cages. Solid matter blocks sound waves as ferrous matter blocks RF.
    If I could use that logic, then my neighbors should have no problem with me watching hardcore porn, full volume, in the front room with the windows wide open and I blatantly masturbating naked right there. Because its within my walls. Never mind that my walls have spots where another form of electromagnetic energy (light) can escape (windows).

  23. Re:Let me get this out of the way on Judge OKs Wiretap Lawsuit Over Google Wi-Fi Sniffing · · Score: 1

    Wow, horrible analogy. Wifi is more like your neighbors shouting their secrets with all the windows and doors open, but you've tuned their voices (SSID) out. But if you paid attention (tuned into their channel/SSID), you can hear everything.

    Your analogy might have worked if WAP's came standard with very low power, directional antennas as did the client devices, and the signals were too weak to penetrate walls.

  24. Re:Nontrivial? on Judge OKs Wiretap Lawsuit Over Google Wi-Fi Sniffing · · Score: 1

    $50?? What, does monster cable sell Wifi adapters now?

    Courtroom is indeed filled with idiots.

  25. Re:Non trivial? on Judge OKs Wiretap Lawsuit Over Google Wi-Fi Sniffing · · Score: 1

    Its not even so much as sniffing, but not ignoring them. Sniffing implies hunting for something. (Unencrypted) WiFi is thrown in your face and your adapter has to block what it doesn't want. All you have to do is be promiscuous (this is what they call it) - not care what goes in.
