So, if you want to really screw over your work colleague, swiping his phone and entering his password wrong now won't only wipe his phone (assuming IT have that feature implemented), it will also maroon him.
Volvo's new tiered purchase plan: and would you like tires with that? What about brakes? An engine?
Better than the purchase plan for the other big Swede, Ikea.
The car comes in separate components, flatpacked in a box that it almost too inconveniently bulky to transport, and you have to put the whole thing together yourself, in your garage, with only your wits, your hands, a ten-cent Allen key and a manual which only has diagrams, not words.
What? I can't even...
Look, troll, murders are commited in quite a lot of movies, often to drive some sort of narrative. This does not mean popular culture approves of murder, and neither should anybody else.
And don't get me started on the other thing.
Rote memorization is very important and is seriously undervalued. Try learning an instrument or a sport w/o rote memorization. Memorizing, and developing the capacity to memorize is important. We need more rote memorization, not less.

Why haven't all airplanes been upgraded so the black box data is streamed to satellites/ground stations? It's so dumb to have to search for a airplane to find the data, that should be the fallback plan. Hey FAA, you listening?
Actually, this raises a more interesting question (at least to me) which your little thought experiment approaches. What if my autonomous car decides that the action to take that is likely to cause the least harm is to kill the driver? For example, what if the car has the opportunity to swerve off the side of a mountain road and drop you 1000 feet onto some rocks to avoid a crash that would have killed far more people than simply you? Is my autonomous car required to act in my own best interest, or should it act in the best interests of everyone on the road?
Also, somebody somewhere will use this 'feature' to commit a murder...
Hack the computer, make it think that it is in this situation, and the vehicle will launch itself over a cliff with the occupants inside.
The crash may also erase all evidence as to what actually caused it, as well, leaving the authorities with mere speculation.
I imagine that when we have really screwd the climate for us, we will have to come up with genetically engineered human beings that will drive heavily modified cars that are working OK when it's 60C.
We're already here and thriving in Australia, thank you very much.
I thought the US was supposed to be a christian country and slashdot was supposed to be am mostly american site (I say mostly because I am actually british)?
How are these statistics being collected?
If a white person is more likely to get off with a warning, but a person of colour charged and/or convicted, wouldn't this skew the results?
The problem here is that if what the NSA was doing is considered legal (as determined by the US government, which benefits directly from what the NSA was doing), then Snowden isn't covered under whistleblowing laws (which only protect those that expose ILLEGAL activities).
Slashdot Mirror
I would like to know more...
Encrypting and decrypting are fundamentally the same operation, so whatever you say about one applies to the other as well.
Please stop using ROT13
Slashdot readers, just out of curiosity, is there anything -- any service -- Mr. Cooper could use to get his artwork back?
A time machine and some common sense?
There are justifications for just about every action, in the right context, including shoving a nun down a flight of stairs...
Good job, Volvo.
summon their cars that already happen to be parked.
Who get's the $10 tip?
Elon Musk, every time.
It's one way he's funding his plans for world domination.

So why travel feet-first or head-first? If you enter it facing it then you have front-back, which is a much smaller difference than head-feet.

Because signal jacking?
Whoosh!

Hey dickhead, spoiler alert next time.
What I find completely unbelievable in this story is that someone in California actually has their car in a garage.
Your garage is where you keep all the stuff you can't fit into the house.
The street is where you keep your car.
Maybe for non-electric cars... maybe the owner for whatever reason didn't want to run a power cord out to an unsecure area used as a thoroughfare.

Could they change their name to Boy Hackers Of America?
No, I think Jeffrey Dahmer's fan club has that trademarked.
Note. Australian drinking laws are pretty shit
Australian drinking laws are as they are because Australians know what Australians can be like when they've been drinking.

And if you're livestreaming over Google Glass (or similar), you're really fucked.

I accidentally all my customer base?
I have, on more than one occasion, and I have always regretted it.
