  1. Just waiting for the guys who originally did IRIS to come up with a fully open source answer to this.

  2. Absolutely try breaking into your local police station to demonstrate weaknesses in their security and see what that gets you.

    Didn't they launch this or something very similar the other month?

    Can we apply that 13 day rule to presidential candidates please

  6. I thought they got out of hardware when deployment stopped involving a fork lift

  7. Although the general ethical considerations are quite horrendous. If they do find a reliable way to reverse brain death in an appropriately preserved body then this could have massive implications for cryogenics and open up an entirely new field of Long Haul Surgery.

    You should look up sarchasm in the English Common law library. Hopefully, you find it.

    SARCHASM: The gulf between the author of wit and its intended recipient (ATTRIB: Someone on the internet)

  12. Re:No benefit to Chrome OS on Google Appears To Be Working On Bringing Android Apps to Chrome OS · · Score: 1

    There is bias among App developers towards developing for IOS. Mostly it's down to the relatively few platforms running IOS compared to the huge http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2... number of platforms running Android. Nothing at all to do with the quality of the OS

    Already got me a pair of these http://www.cnet.com/au/news/ha... I'm fine with it but it makes my 8yr old nephew want to throw up so finally I have a piece of tech kit that he doesn't want to borrow every time he's around :D

  14. Re:Duh on Oculus Rift Users Angered By Pre-Order Snafu (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Perhaps they should rename the product "Oculus Grift"

    I don't know to be honest. Nobody's going to tell me I'm too old for fear of litigation. What I have noticed is whereas in my youth it'd normally take me 3 or 4 Job interviews before I got a job. It's now more like 12 to 16 but that could just as easily be down to more HR time-wasting muppets being involved these days.

  16. Re:Interpreted languages should cease on Interview With Python Creator Guido Van Rossum (techrocket.com) · · Score: 1

    Learn how to use a compiled language like Java.

    Java doesn't compile to machine code it compiles to pseudo code which is then interpreted (Not quite as slow) at runtime. If you want a proper compiler try any C, C++ etc.

  24. Re:Space debris on NASA: Top 10 Space Junk Missions (networkworld.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is something that giant killer lasers can totally fix. We should also deploy them in space, and create an advanced AI to autonomously control them, so it can clean up the skies for us.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    There's an implementation issue. The sharks tend to die in the vacuum of space
