  2. Re:Paris terrorists used regular SMS on Manhattan DA Pressures Google and Apple To Kill Zero Knowledge Encryption (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Its the NY DA and the FBI! These idiots think emojis are encryption

  3. Re:Common pattern on Police Find Paris Attackers Coordinate Via Unencrypted SMS (techdirt.com) · · Score: 1

    It's interesting to note that most of the terrorists identified in these latest atrocities had convictions for various abominable crimes (Murder, Armed Robbery etc) prior to being radicalized.

  4. These are senators and congressmen you are talking about do you think they know how to take a test without cheating?

  8. Re:Why do these data need to be entered manually? on 737 'Tailstrike' Caused By Typo On a Tablet (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a 737 they've been around for like 50 years and you still can't get a decent coffee

  9. Re:Data data everywhere and not a drop to think on 737 'Tailstrike' Caused By Typo On a Tablet (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably because the Boeing 737 is nearly 50 you'll be lucky to find an RS232 port

  10. Re:Agh on How Hollywood's Hedy Helped Heighten Handhelds (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Surely she's famous for suing Mel Brooks over the Blazing Saddles

  11. What I wan't to know is why we got no warning of this from Anonymous as the are both actively hacking both ISIS and the PlayStation Network! They should have know about this well in advance

  12. This will kick in in Data Centers where you'll be able to run twice as many virtual machines per physical processor

    Yes, people will have to work longer but you will not work yourself to death to save up for retirement (just for the occasional break). There are plenty of problems in the world, so having more able people to address those problems is probably a good thing.

    I assume you've never seen Soylent Green! The world is over populated as is

  17. National level? on Bill Confirming Property Rights For Asteroid Miners Passes the Senate (examiner.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How can this be at the national level? Surely this is something that should be hashed out at the UN rather than proposing national laws for something that is already outside your jurisdiction.

    Why are we even assuming that they'd be reliant on E-M technology? If they are building a Dyson sphere isn't it possible they've moved to something more exotic. I mean by their standards we're still using two tin cans and a piece of string

  19. Not supported on most platforms anymore on 8 of the 10 Top Security Flaws Used By Cyber-Criminals This Year Were Flash Bugs (recordedfuture.com) · · Score: 2

    Flash isn't supported on IOS or Android anymore. It's only supported on Windows & Linux because they are not walled gardens. Can't speak for the Apple Mac but assume it's not supported or at least discouraged.

    Hmmm the MI in MI5 & MI6 stands for Military Intelligence (Oxymoron's aside). Not sure where you're getting Secret Service from.
