    This goes beyond gaming. Imagine when this AI gets turned on all those mundane jobs you do around the office! We're going to have a lot of unemployed fax monkeys!

    Unlimited as long as you don't use too much

    Do you think they might have indulged in book shaping?

  6. Another possibility is that the public unsure as to whether the police were camered or not decided not to risk further jail time and behave themselves. I'm not saying that it's not the police's behavior just that it takes two to tango also these were British cops and though they by no means have a spotless record they are amongst the most highly regarded and reputable police forces in the world.

  7. , the browser extension will use nonces (one-time authentication tokens)

  10. Re:A poor craftsman blames his tools. on Are Flawed Languages Creating Bad Software? (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not the Dev's it's the whole team stemming from the people who capture the requirements wrong all the way down the line to the man who signs off the software as fit for release when actually it should be binned.

  11. I'm far more concerned about where it's going. Where is it going to live? Under who's jurisdiction will it obey law? Please tell me it's not going to be under the auspices of the UN because we might as well have just handed it to China or Iran!

    So where is it going?

    You think USB-C headphones that "will feature special multi-function processing units (MPUs)" are ever going to be $10?

    This is just people jumping on the the Apple bandwagon :( shame it's the USB community this time

  13. Re:Why would anyone copy it? on Ask Slashdot: Should An Open Source Hardware Project Support Clones? · · Score: 1

    Surely if it's Open Source it will largely be supported by the community which means that if you want to buy cheap Chinese knockoffs you can expect to be supported by cheap Chinese knockoffs.

    It all gets compiled down to assembly anyway.

    Actually it gets compiled down to Machine Code. Assembly Language is simply Machine Code rendered in a human readable format.

    e.g. ld a,1 in Z80 assembler would be 3E01 in HEX
