Speaking of risk management, if you're preparing for that eventuality I hope you've also got an anti-nuke shield and a space alien laser weapon detection system because I'm pretty sure both are more likely than your scenario.
# of instances of alien invasions: 0 # of instances of nuclear attacks: 2 # of instances of home invasions involving rape and murder: > 2
A crowbar can easily be a very effective weapon. A crowbar can easily overwhelm the mightiest of unarmed humans. Cats do eat the eyeballs of their dead owners.
Have you been robbed while you were present? If not, you have ZERO insight into the matter - you're simply lucky you live in a low-crime area.
People were pissed because she was giving textbook answers to make it through the job interview with the Senate while everyone knows she's going to be an activist judge ruling off of her opinion because she has no practical experience.
I'll do you one better:
People were pissed because she was phoning it in with text book answers to text book questions, after having called Supreme Court nomination hearings a pointless joke.
People were pissed because despite the fact that in the hearings she was asked about her opinions on important matters, she made a joke of the process and never answered them.
People were pissed because we know for a fact that this woman hates the first amendment and has no qualms about doing things outside of her legal power that suit her political views, such as banning the ROTC from her campus but still taking in that sweet, sweet, government money.
The woman is a liberal troll.
The last appointment Obama put up is a sexist and a racist. But at least she's shown that she can keep it under control when doing her job. (Or at least as well as the other sexists, racists, trolls, etc. on the bench - both conservative and liberal.)
The bottom line is that the Supreme Court is a fucking joke. When one of the fossilized fucks shuffles off the bench, it's an opportunity for some sanity to be injected into our lives. But that never fucking happens.
A kit is not DIY. Someone else did the work of designing the thing, getting the components, and figuring out how to put them all together. You're just an assembly man.
A DIY baby monitor wouldn't be hard at all. It sure as fuck wouldn't be reliable enough to trust your baby's life with.
You, as the great fucking geek you are, do not have the resources to design and test a proper piece of RF equipment.
But please, have a kid (this will be tough - you're on/. after all), then convince the wife that your shitty little project is just as good as the $100 thing from Phillips.
Hey, maybe you can make it an open source project, that'll surely make it reliable.
Sure would. Then again, not being home when someone intends to break into my home and rob, rape, and murder me would also have it's advantages. I wouldn't be there to be raped or murdered. Damage: mitigated.
Keep trying to paint me as a cloistered gun nut though.
And you clearly, like 99.9999% of geeks, nerds, and slashdotters, think too highly of yourself.
You do not have the expertise, the resources, the facilities, the government approval, the lawyers, or the insurance to build a pacemaker for your uncle.
You can clean out the viruses on his PC, and upgrade his RAM, but that's about as useful as you'll ever be to him.
Kits are not DIY. Building a PC from components is not DIY.
DIY involves creating your own design, not following a guide. Then you're just an assembler.
So you got a shitty baby monitor. That doesn't mean that the one you build will be any better - it'll still have shitty interference problems and you'll be buying shitty commodity parts. The fact that you mention zigbee tells me you don't care if your baby's screaming his lungs out and you can't hear him.
There is nothing in this about video-ing the perps. There is nothing in it about having a gun, or traps or anything weird. When you assess the possible outcomes, those things don't reduce your loss, and likely increase your trauma.
Seems to me if people break into my house intent on robbing, raping, and killing me, and I shoot them dead before they get the chance, I've mitigated the damage. Step 1 is out because we're already at the point of something happening. No insurance can get me back from that, so step 3 is out. Step 4 is out too because I'm not a pussy liberal, so I'm not going to "accept" a solution that involves calling 911 and waiting while I've got a dick in my ass, a heroin scarred clit in my face, and a knife to my neck.
Better auditory detection capabilities. Better olfactory detection capabilities. Better friend-or-foe algorithms. More reliable than any electronic equipment. More trustworthy than any security system vendor. Faster response times than any security or law enforcement. More immediate and satisfying effects than any justice system. Fluffier.
The percentages shown are a running total of all the captchas tested against in that run.
b is the % of cases where BOTH words were correctly recognized s is the % of cases where AT LEAST ONE word was correctly recognized
You only need to know ONE word to pass a recaptcha captcha. Though it has to be the CORRECT word, and I don't know if the developers of this program knew which word was known, or if they took that into account when displaying the percentages.
The worst case scenario is that they can solve it about 1/6th of the time (getting one right 1/3 of the time, and having it be the right one 1/2 of those times). It stands to reason, however, that the "known" captchas (the ones recaptcha tests against) are the ones that are easier to solve, and thus, the actual success rate is indeed about 33%.
All I'm saying is that just because the algorithm got 30% of the words right doesn't mean that it can "solve the current CAPTCHA at an efficacy of 30%".
Yes, yes it fucking does.
"Solving" a captcha - to an attacker or a legitimate user - means getting past the damned popup and creating your account, posting your/. obama poop copypasta troll, etc.
Being correct with regards to the OCR means nothing.
There is a known word you are tested against, and an unknown word pulled from a database of shit they scanned.
Solving the known word correctly means you probably also got the unknown word correct. They then pool the "correct" submissions for the unknown words and see what the most common ones are.
I don't know if this is completely automated or if they have an intern monkey clicking "yes" or "no" for unknown words and probable solutions, but the whole "crowd sourcing OCR for a bunch of shit we scanned" is the POINT of recaptcha.
Did you not learn when I explained this yesterday? The quote is: "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!". There is no "they", nor is there any bad pronunciation. Indeed, it is correctly articulated and enunciated, with an accent.
Mythbusters also "debunked" that a soda can in a hot car could explode. My experience in that vein directly contradicts their debunking. Posting AC because it's offtopic, not because I won't stand behind my story.
You mean Mythbusters did a myth where something didn't explode?
But yes, soda cans in hot cars can explode. There are stains on the upholstery of my friend's car to prove it.

They are working well.
Did you build those radios?
Did you do the RF testing for them?
Did you submit them to the FCC?
Protip: You're not doing it yourself.

What is so unclear about the constitution?
The degree to which we'll (continue to) allow the government to shit on it?

This is why you shoot to kill.
It's then your word against a corpse's.
You: "He lunged at me with a knife. I fired."
Corpse:
Derp.
So you want only the criminals to have widespread access to guns?

You're wrong.
Then get a cat, and have something that will stare at you asking for food when you're getting stabbed to death. Later, it will eat your eyes.
I don't care how much of a geek someone is, DIY is almost always inferior when talking about anything complicated and physical.
DIY website? Sure.
DIY car? No.
DIY coffee table? Cool.
DIY baby monitor? Bad.
DIY pointless electronics project with blinking LEDs? LOL nerd.
DIY pacemaker? LOL dead.

The video i watched was in black and white...i was under the impression colors hadn't been invented yet!
is there a Turner Colorized version somewhere?
The world was black and white back then, so all film recorded the black and white world.
