    I doubt most "3D theaters" here in Brazil are really capable of displaying 3D properly. You need a much more expensive projector

    It can become one when a hacker walks through the neighborhood, discovers the wi-fi of your refrigerator open , and the next morning you find out that the firmware has changed and now your refrigerator shoots olives and eggs at relativistic speeds against any moving object in the kitchen.

  6. For me the problem is with Windows 10, in particular the user interface of it. It is a PoS, completely inconsistent as if it had been handled by dozens of developers where each of these developers had a radically different idea.

    He is an asshole because instead of simply saying that the problem is difficult (which I already know) or suggesting a possible solution, he preferred to say that it is impossible and to offend me for having the audacity to want to find a solution where he failed.

    As for your answer, I will introduce what I am thinking using your own example: I want to prevent the elephant from being devoured by the ants, what can I do? The most obvious is to take the elephant off the place, works 100%. But I need the elephant in the place so I can not get him out of the place, but I still can not let the ants eat him. I can then eliminate the ants by using a flamethrower, which also works but I have no way of knowing how many ants I'm dealing with. I can then prevent the ants from reaching the elephant by placing the elephant inside a crated box, but I need termites (valid traffic) to reach the elephant, so I have to differentiate the termites from the ants. Do you see where this is going? Options to try to solve the problem exist, the problem is to find which option works in a situation where it will not have obvious solutions.

    Oh boy... Yet another random asshole who thinks he's the greatest expert in the universe. Go talk to my hand, okay? I'm looking for alternatives to dealing with a problem that is known to be difficult and at the moment with no solution, I do not have time to deal with brats who do not understand this.

    I imagined something like that, but this would not limit the effectiveness of the attack? 650Gbps suggest a large number of machines generating a lot of traffic each, if they are using your suggestion this would mean an absurd number of bots involved to be possible.

    I know very well, thank you. Enough to know that try to filter at the target of attacks is practically useless and is why I am asking if there is any way that I do not know yet to solve the problem at the other end of the connection. And to avoid another dumb response from you I already know that filtering in the source of the attacks is difficult, If it were easy I would not be asking for alternatives.

    I know I might be being naive, but there is no way to solve the problem at the root, such as cutting the connection of devices that begin to generate disproportionately traffic aimed at a single site (the target)?

  15. At least normal TV advertising has no way to run suspicious codes and install malware on your TV setup. The problem is not exactly the advertising itself, the problem is the shit they insert into the advertisement and that makes mandatory for you to block it.

  17. Honest question: on Google Is Rolling Out Android 7.1.1 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Would there be any way to make Google itself update the Android installed on a smartphone without the need of support from the smartphone manufacturer? Maybe put an intermediate layer between the hardware and the operating system to deal with the drivers specific to each model? Or change the Android kernel so that it somehow identifies the available hardware and then downloads or compiles the necessary drivers? Because depending on the manufacturer of the equipment has became clearly wrong since the manufacturer no longer have the slightest interest in updating the installed software after the device leaves the store.

    The AC you mentioned does not seems able to understand the simplest idea expressed in a sentence (in this case my signature) and relate it correctly to what was said in the comment. What else I could think of him?

    Something I do not like in purely written communication, the other side have no way of knowing if you are offended or if you are just wanting to make your point very clear. It is necessary because my experience shows that most people are unable to interpret the most basic texts and they then resort to forcing what they read in some version that fits into their simple-minded way of seeing the world (black/white, yes/no, friend/foe).

    This said, I assure you that I know perfectly well the big bang theory and I agree that it makes sense... I just think it important to always remember that theories are not Laws and that we may be wrong about everything we know so far (scary, but not impossible), so therefore is healthy to always think about we might be missing out something important. Otherwise we'll end up looking religious fanatics with inverted polarity like this kiddo who's been bothering me.
