If you read TFA, it says the attacker has to already have access to the remote computer to root the system, so being cautious in the first place should be OK, or at least sandboxing your hazardous activities in a VM could do the trick.
Talks about liability of self-driving cars are already taking place, and it appears that when a self-driving car being in self driving mode has an accident, the car maker would be held responsible. Now does this means lower insurance costs for people who have self-driving cars? I doubt it, but car makers will sure have to have pretty expensive insurance coverage...
I think a big part of the traffic jams is because of the slow reaction time of humans. If, when a light goes green, all the cars release the brake and push the accelerator at the same time, traffic would be incredibly better.
However, I love driving my car, so it's not a question of "is it better to have a human or a computer behind the wheel" for me, it's just that "I love driving, period."
If you want anonymity and/or privacy, just don't go with the big companies. Period. I use openmailbox through TOR and using email addresses with false names, this does a better job at anonymity. As for privacy, I f**king keep my personal info to myself.
For someone who "hesitates to comment", you have a lot to say! Even though I don't fully agree with your comment, cause Microsoft has turned some pretty good stuff into crap (Win7 > Win8, Win98SE > Win ME, Nokia >/dev/nul), I hope that your thoughts will materialize. They can do good if they put the right resources at the right place to do the job (Win Vista > Win7, Win2k > WinXP).
I think "more original" was more in the sense of "more special", talking about something better. Not "more original" in the "origins" sense of the term...
Sorry, I should have specified that the Greens are against any form of ARTIFICIALLY POWERED transportation. I have even heard a green saying that we should limit our physical activities because, you know, we have to consume more food when we do exercise, and food production puts great strain on natural resources.
Well, can't we just actually live and let Darwinism do its job?
Bricking an OS? It's just like the guy don't actually know what a brick is. Bricking something is to break an actual object to the point where its only use is to be a doorstopper. Thie is the Urban Dictionnary quote:
brick
As verb: to brick something. This is the action of rendering any small-medium size electronic device useless. This can happen whilst changing the firmware, soldering or any other process involving either hardware of software.
I bricked my mobile phone when I tried to install Linux on it.
Haha! "When I tried to install Linux on it". Sounds funny reading that thread...
Why would someone want to buy or illegally download a book telling how to pass a polygraphic test, while there is one freely available. This books is called "The Lie Behind The Lie Detector", and it is available as a PDF here
I used this book back in the days to pass the polygraph test in the RCMP recruitment process, and I succeeded. I finally refused the job, but got through all the process pretty easily.
And then, try running a 1982 GE laser engraving machine on a 286 through a proprietary ISA interface card, with help from DOS 6.2. These are the good ol'days... Now get of my lawn!
Anyways, traffic data is so unreliable, it is a joke. Actual traffic is often the exact opposite as the traffic data I get in my car. I don't know for the US, but in Canada, it is completely useless.
Crashing into things will slow you down, so you lose a lot of energy in the process of slowing down and get back to speed. I thinks it's worth having collision avoidance instead of collision detection (network guy reference...). Didn't RTFA, though IMHO, it is better to crash photons/sound and then detect it to avoid actual crash...
PC means personal computer and makes no reference whatsoever to the operating system running on it.
Wrong. When apple did their "I'm a PC, I'm a Mac" marketing campaing, it was perfectly clear they referred to Windows against OSX. They specifically insisted that a Mac and a PC are different, but the geeks we are know that PCs and Macs are almost the same on their hardware base. So what they referred to was about the OS they run.

More like Picard's implants. Even after removal, he still can hear the Borg...

All the EU parties except the Greens are in favor
In fact, the greens are against any form of transportation in the first place.

The selfie being an evident sign of narcissism, isn't a 3D selfie a thing of hypernarcissism? Why would I want a figurine 3D of myself?!? #WTF
What! No
6) Profit!
Slashdot is no more what it used to be...
In fact, how can you even read this with a non-functioning PC?

The biggest problem with a space suit is not how to get into it.
In fact, the main problem is having a ship to put around it...
1 AU = 42
Has anyone here noticed that? Why, when someone picks a random number, 12 and 42 come out so often? Has there been some research done on that?
Yeah, instead of a blue SCREEN, you'd encounter a blue SKY, which means no more CLOUD.
Just De-Gauss the infected hard drive
HOW DO YOU LIVE!?!?
With my heart beating and my lungs breathing.
