  1. Re:Big fucking surprise there on Why CSI: Cyber Matters · · Score: 1

    Not just actor. Rapper. Shad Moss is Bow Wow.

  2. Re:Connection on Why CSI: Cyber Matters · · Score: 2

    What the summary lacks is the (not so) trivial point that Shad Moss is better known as Bow Wow, a popular rapper. The summary cleverly hid this apples to oranges comparison, unless someone actually thought a popular musician and security professionals were on the same level of Twitter popularity.

    NCIS has always used an 'ends justify the means' attitude in their show. This is no different.

    Don't worry, pretty soon the US will extend its long enforcement arm to your country, too.

    Exactly. GPL is just as bad as patents for open source development.

  6. How much do LED bulbs cost? on Graphene Light Bulbs Coming To Stores Soon · · Score: 2

    It is expected to be priced lower than current LED bulbs, which cost about £15 (~$22) each.

    And yet I just saw a pack of 4 at Menards for $7.95 today.

    Really? Apple has never made any lackluster products ever?

  8. Re:Then ID would be required on Obama: Maybe It's Time For Mandatory Voting In US · · Score: 1

    In my state, one of our Senators was elected to his first term by just 300 votes. They had to recount and go to court to settle it. If you don't think your vote counts, you're kidding yourself.

    That's why absentee ballots exist.

    Clearly the AC was saying he Fucked That For You[the quoted parent].

  11. Re:Then ID would be required on Obama: Maybe It's Time For Mandatory Voting In US · · Score: 3, Informative

    The 18-24 demographic likely affected are college students living out of state (or far enough away from their home region in state) who don't bother to get absentee ballots or register to vote on campus.

  12. Re:Next up, on Lyft CEO: Self-Driving Cars Aren't the Future · · Score: 1

    Nope, the bots will just calculate the simulated deaths, and you'll report to the gas chamber.

  13. Not a stakeholder on Lyft CEO: Self-Driving Cars Aren't the Future · · Score: 1

    And what does he care about the outcome? A taxi service made up of drivers and a taxi service made up of self-driving cars would still do the same job, get people from points A to B (and any points A.1, A.2, A.3, etc inbetween) and charge them for it.

  14. MOAR BOOSTERS! on Russia Abandons Super-Rocket Designed To Compete With SLS · · Score: 2, Informative

    I love how the Russian "SLS" version had four boosters. Someone over there must play Kerbal Space Program.

  15. Re:Non-removable battery - Jewelry? on Swatch Co-Inventor Predicts Apple Will Bring an 'Ice Age' To Swiss Watch Market · · Score: 1

    You'll soon come to love sleeping with your hand shackled to the Apple Watch charger.

    Thieves don't need to bother with a chainsaw, I'll give them the watch. My life is worth much much more than any possession I own.

    Same reason there are dozens of patents that are literal copies of previous patented works, but with the added phrase, "...on a computer."

    I like the one about clothing pile amounts uncertainty. As if the author has never heard of loops.

    We've been working on image recognition technology for almost 60 years now. We still haven't got it right.

    And yet subway trains still happen to fall off the tracks and cause injuries and deaths.

  21. Re:Absolutely yes!!! on Would You Need a License To Drive a Self-Driving Car? · · Score: 2

    Usually someone who rear-ends a car (a tailgater) is at fault for such a collision, at least from the insurance company's perspective.

    Well, they say the law is blind, too.

    Driving a vehicle falls well within the regulatory bounds of commerce

    No, it does not. Not any more than walking does. Commercial driving today requires commercial licenses and that might be acceptable... But pleasure driving — taking kids to see grandma? No way...

    Unfortunately, Chief Justice Marshall disagreed with you. Traffic falls under commerce just as much as trade. Take it up with SCOTUS if you have an issue.

    Since you don't have anything to support your claims, and SCOTUS ruled that traffic is regulate-able commerce over 200 years ago, there's nothing left to rebut here.

  24. Re:Why do I need a license for ANY car? on Would You Need a License To Drive a Self-Driving Car? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately "it freaks me out" is the same reason that someone could argue that a driver's license is required for a self-driving car. And that is still poor justification for both arguments. Our laws should be driven by facts, not fear.

  25. Re:Why do I need a license for ANY car? on Would You Need a License To Drive a Self-Driving Car? · · Score: 1

    No, certainly not. The 10th amendment deals with that. But to protect something so vehemently, you usually need a bigger piece of collateral than the 10th amendment.

    States have the right to regulate commerce within their state, and Congress the right to regulate interstate commerce. Driving a vehicle falls well within the regulatory bounds of commerce, and can easily be argued within the government's domain of regulation, and not a unilateral right of the citizen.

    So, I'll ask again. Do you have anything that supports your claims?
