  1. Re:on your next job application...... on Scientists Boost the "Will To Persevere" With Current To the Brain · · Score: 1

    That was my first thought, another thing that will be practically required to compete on the job market, oh yay...just wait until those sleep substitute pills hit the shelves.

    Because Dancing with the Stars is on and it's that nasty Obamacare that's the real threat to freedom!!!

  3. Re:No surprise on NSA Tracking Cellphone Locations Worldwide · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised at the way they were doing it. I'd think they'd have a backdoor into the telco to do this, but apparently this location info normally gets sent out of the country and they just had to intercept it? WTF?

    I think we had a good time with the Internet, let's hang onto those memories. The NSA and Social Media were starting to ruin it anyway...

    That's not a good analogy. It's more like costing the victim the price of an AI enforcement bot that can tell a sit-in from legitimate customers. Both because nothing was destroyed and because the "fix" is horrifically expensive.

    They didn't even knock it over. They all crowded around it and pretended to be looking at the cards.

  8. Re:Making light of a crime? on Anonymous Member Sentenced For Joining DDoS Attack For One Minute · · Score: 1

    Kicking me in the face would actually cause physical harm, you've shown again that you think all crimes are fungible and cause equal offense. You can't tell 1 minute of DDoSing from a murder, heist, hate crime...or kick in the head. You think all deserve a punishment so severe that you can't say much of what's left of the victim's life than "still alive and kicking."

    So we must either live in a world where anyone who does anything illegal from jaywalking to genocide is crushed by the "justice" system with the force of a thousand suns, or Somalia? Have you ever heard of a "false dichotomy?"

    Are you also against counter-protests, like the guys who rev their Harleys over the Westboro retards?

    This is ridiculous. He didn't rape anyone. He didn't hurt anyone. He rapidly requested web pages for 1 minute, slightly contributing to a computer bogging down. In a less batshit-crazy, less rabidly corporatist world, this would carry a punishment on par with dropping a cigarette butt on the street.

    So then what kind of protest against a corporate entity can't be skewed into property damage via "deprivation of business?"

    How the hell is a DDoS property damage? If that can be skewed into "property damage" then just about anything can.

    The brake vacuum reservoir will give you a few more stops with power brakes after the engine shuts off.

  15. Re:SHIT on RF Safe-Stop Shuts Down Car Engines With Radio Pulse · · Score: 1

    I guess shielding all the wiring harnesses and electronics individually wouldn't work since the car's body would still pick it up and everything is grounded to it?

    Many would be far lighter, since the 2000s cars have been getting far heavier and larger, approaching the weight of the land yachts of the 50s and 60s. '80s and '90s Japanese compacts are very light.

    How about aircraft? But we all know nobody would ever do that, it would be as insane as blinding the pilot with a laser...

    You won't lose brakes, just ABS control of them so the guy is going to need a crash course in How Brakes Actually Work real quick.

    You will lose power steering though and that could be scary...and you'll lose all other electro-nannies which are ZOMG SO IMPORTANT YOU GUYS according to the Porsche Carrera thread.

  19. SHIT on RF Safe-Stop Shuts Down Car Engines With Radio Pulse · · Score: 1

    I thought this car EMP tech wasn't going anywhere when I started switching one of my cars to EFI late last year. Now this shit happens :-(

    How can I shield my car against this? I'm willing to add up to 20lbs to do it.

  20. Old news on Swarm Mobile's Offer: Free Wi-Fi In Exchange For Some Privacy · · Score: 1

    If you read the EULA on free wifi portals, many of them already collect info on you. Even if you don't connect to any, many stores will track your movement by your adapter's MAC address. This is why I disable my phone's wifi adapter entirely when I'm not using it now. Saves a lot of battery too.

    We don't know how it turned out yet, I'm waiting for the results of an investigation. It would be very unusual for a pro driver to put himself in a position where he could die in the most shameful way possible.

    I wouldn't argue that they're bullshit in general, but I don't have much use for them personally, and I'd rather not have the features if they can't be switched off.

    My ability has been proven through competition, no faith involved.

    They were common until the iPhone came out. PalmOS was a closed-source OS but you were free to run anything you liked on their range of devices. Same with Windows Mobile and Windows CE. The only "walled garden" mobile OS that existed before iOS was Symbian.

  25. Re:When you have a bad driver ... on Is the Porsche Carrera GT Too Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    "Stability control" is basically a marketing term. The manufacturers lump in ABS with that, not me.

    I would prefer if ABS, ETC, and ESC (as in active yaw control for safety purposes) were all referred to separately.
