    Because science!

  2. Re:Three characters? on European Space Agency Records Leaked For Amusement, Attackers Say (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    You can change your pin in a lot of cases. I did read somewhere once that most people change it to something stupid which enables 30% of cards to be guessed within 3 tries. Apparently only 5% of pins begin with the number 9 so that's a good start. Maybe 9999 would be clever.

    Does GuB stand for Great Uncle Bulgaria?

  3. Re:Philips just fell off my vendor list on Lightbulb DRM: Philips Locks Purchasers Out of 3rd-Party Bulbs With New Firmware (techdirt.com) · · Score: 1

    If i was a conspiracist I would suspect that all of these network controllable items that don't have to be, are all part of forcing us to comply with energy standards in a future world where the government can control all of our shit in the interests of Gaia.

  4. Some of us just want an old fashioned incandescent light bulb. They are illegal in Australia, you cannot buy them for love or money. I seem to be matching my username here as I will never ever buy a fucking network enabled software driven light bulb.

  5. Re:Use pre-shared keys on Quantum Computer Security? NASA Doesn't Want To Talk About It (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Please look up Shor's Algorithm if you want to understand how quantum computers affect crypto (hint, they figure out the key in 1 clock cycle if working as predicted)

    Sometimes you just have to say Fuck Off

  6. Re:Say What? on Bruce Perens On Problems With the Open Hardware Model (arvideonews.com) · · Score: 1

    Next time I'll give the Slashdot folks a transcript.

    Make sure to use small words. I would hazard a guess that a very large majority of those claiming the videos are too long to watch aren't really invested in the subject matter anyway. You do enough already. Fuck them if it's all too hard for them.

  7. Re:Kipnapped by Stalin on Theremin's Bug Let Soviets Spy On USA For More Than 7 Years (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably to cause despair amongst the developer class

  9. Sounds like far too much work. Think up some BS and set up a GoFundMe account.

  10. Re:The REAL question waiting to be answered: on Iran's Military Nuclear Program Lasted Longer Than We Thought (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 1

    You need to be a little less obvious. You have a dog in this fight. Why don't you tell everyone what it is? Your varnished 'truths' are getting stale.

  11. Re:Death Serves a Purpose on Scientists Working To Extend Lifespan of Pets (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    There is no "natural order".

    Really? Fuck there are some stupid smart people out there

    in the centre of the startup office is a 3x3 metre hole called investors.money.dump

  14. Re:Possible use on Airbus Patent Shows Modular, Removable Aircraft Cabins (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Cunts like you would probably want to strip him of his pilots license. You are just another whinging fuckwit who can't do shit but crap on anyone that can and does. Go and fuck yourself.

    you now have many upcoming Star Wars films to walk down the aisle!

    That's made up my mind. No anti-aging therapy for me.

  17. Nationality is?

  18. Re:James Hanson on Young Climate Activists Sue Obama Over Climate Change Inaction (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    http://technocracy.news/index.... -- I will message you privately some other stuff you may find of interest as if I post it here I will end up dealing with those afflicted with climatic religious zeal. if you don't want to be messaged just let me know and I wont.

    Don't read too much it's the path to skepticism and not the path to drum circle nirvana

  20. Re:Sure on Companies Want To Insert Ads Into Unicode (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    I think your close. Maybe a global currency that is based not on gold but on carbon use allowance would work.

    I'll be shocked if I see 2C warming by 2100

  23. Re:Nice tool from Emsisoft on DecryptorMax/CryptInfinite Ransomware Decrypted, No Need To Pay Ransom (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think so. Maybe if we want to abolish the notion of "ok, their files are encrypted... this is hard encryption... ok done!" as seen on pretty much any TV show.

    At least on TV you get to have a laugh as they use a 320p webcam to catch a reflection from 200 metres away giving them the key to crack the cookie thus saving the planet.

  24. Re:Yeah, but that just means... on How Bad of a World Are We Really Living In Right Now? · · Score: 1

    I may not believe in all the Christianity/God stuff but "believing themselves to be wise they became fools" comes to mind when you Climate zealots hop on your hobby horses.

  25. I'm going to have to call demarcation on this. It is my job to tell people to fuck off. It's one of the few useful things I contribute here.
