  1. Re: Racist, or accurate? on Facial Recognition Is Accurate, if You're a White Guy (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    You looked it up in the wrong place. Psychology is at play, and all humans are tribal/racist by nature. Don't look in a dictionary to understand how the mind works.

    You are assuming the failure is a false positive, in which case you are right. I was assuming a false negative, in which case I am right.

  3. Not true. See also "Script Kiddies". The confusion comes from a reporter (Steven Levy IIRC) who was told that a hacker broke into systems and he falsely asserted that hackers are people that break into computers. It is similar to if doctoring was something almost nobody understood. "Jack is the doctor who has been killing prostitutes". Next day in the paper: "Doctors are people who kill prostitutes".

  4. Not if you possess basic reading comprehension skills, as I did no such thing.

  5. Hackers, Firewall, The Net, Startup ... Need I cite more? And no, that battle isn't lost here. Well it is, but those who claim hacker is the correct term for crackers are the losers.

    OK. You REALLY don't understand this at all. When you run Windows natively you don't run Adobe in a VM.

    So run Windows and use Linux in a VM. You didn't know that was possible?

    if I have to run a VM to get work done, I might as well drop the VM and run the real thing instead.

    You don't seem to understand this whole VM thing at all.

    It took yours that long? Mine pegged at "Gates".

    Yes. I remember the KDE and vim adds during the Super Bowl, and did you see the halftime Tux the Penguin nipple Slip? You just know Clippy did that shit on purpose!

    Vim understands and properly syntax highlights Linux config files and bash scripts. That is just one of oh so many reasons.

    They have this thing called virtualization now. You should check it out!

    Yes, I am quite certain. Off you go now ...

    Your post already proved you are a dipshit; you never needed me.

  15. IFix could only verify for the device they disassemble, not the one you have in your hand. The diametric opposition here is that you can't trust any of them, but you have to put your faith somewhere. Arguments about which choice is smarter are foolish.

    Do you know what ISS stands for? Where the hell did you get the idea it was not in space, let alone *well within* the Earth's atmosphere.

    Actually you can split a baby in half and get two working ones. You just have to do it really early in its development.

    Yes, and if you don't like the way it feels to drive a Huyandai, just get a Porsche! I don't really understand why everyone doesn't do this!

  19. You need only have experienced one person driving through town blairing rap / hip hop to realize how absurd your claim is that today's music lacks bass.

  20. I wholeheartedly agree. If you are one of the few people who will use this device to listen to recorded music this might be great, but for the vast majority of us who intend to use it to trick people into going outside to shut their windows and return to wonder why their wine is rippling it is not worth it!

    I believe you mean "weigh two funny"

  22. Suppose they provided a physical switch. You would still have to trust them that it did not simply get read through software. You can't open it up and verify that the switch physically disconnects anything. Trust will always be an issue. Period.

  23. That is because you don't know what two factor means.

  24. That is an incredible analogy fail. What you are talking about is security vs no security. A correct analogy would be do they prefer a lock that is easier to use and trivial to bypass over one that is slightly harder to use but nontrivial to bypass. That being said the study only tells us what they say, not what they do. Ask any Christian if they prefer to go to Heaven or Hell and they will say Heaven. An analysis of their behavior will often uncover an incongruence however.

  25. Last time I checked feet were entirely optional. Nothing stops you from removing them and using a wheelchair! What's that? You actually need to talk to others that use Skype? Oh, never mind then, it's a closed system and it has absolutey been forced down your throat ... known vulnerability they decided not to fix included.
