  1. Re:Nothing to see here on Airline Passenger Walked Past Security With a Loaded Gun Magazine (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    A disaster was not averted

    A bit amplified. What would the guy do with a "loaded magazine"? Throw the bullets at the crew?

  2. The (short) story doesn't say if the TSAs were able to find the loaded magazine. This is a key point, though.

  3. The complexity hidden behind these apparently simple and easy to use programs.

  4. cracks for that sort of stuff are unlikely to pop up in a pwn2own competition, they are too valuable to give away so cheaply.

    That was the point. Unlike pwn2own, the Telegram prize is much more valuable, 300k ; and hackers would better try to crack this one.

  5. $300,000 for Cracking Telegram Encryption. How about that challenge?

  6. Re:Accelerate [development of] neural networks on MIT Develops Algorithm To Accelerate Neural Networks By 200x (extremetech.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems the 'x' was a '%', actually.

  7. Try a simpler equation.

  8. Re:They already have it? on Windows 10 Calculator Will Soon Be Able To Graph Math Equations (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    How does that compare to, say, Wolfram alpha ?

  9. Re:Redmond, start your photocopiers on Windows 10 Calculator Will Soon Be Able To Graph Math Equations (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    please do let me know when windows get another feature that real operating systems have had for a quarter century.

    That has been the case for many things, for decades. The question is: why everyone got (and still is) stuck with Windows?

  10. Re:Notepad Next on Windows 10 Calculator Will Soon Be Able To Graph Math Equations (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    What I'd REALLY like is for MS to open-source Notepad

    Please post some code excerpts when MS does. We all need a good laugh.

    TFA

    Rimasauskas faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in jail

    and the guy seems to be in his 40ies... Tick tock...

  12. Re:This is a scam that actually works on Lithuanian Pleads Guilty To Stealing $100 Million From Google, Facebook (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    It worked on Facebook, not a surprise. But I would expect Google to be less deceit-prone.

  13. Unlimited greediness is your enemy on Lithuanian Pleads Guilty To Stealing $100 Million From Google, Facebook (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The guy could have stopped after a few weeks and enjoy a few millions bucks abroad. No he had to want more and more. Until he's caught.

  14. Re:That's horse crap on Crashed Boeing Planes Lacked Safety Features That Company Sold Only As Extras (apnews.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Who modded that comment to 5? It is all crap

    Yours is better? Where does this 50/50 come from?
    Airbus is only 18.6% in the US (Boeing 43). And in the rest of the world, that you probably didn't visit much, it's not "Airbus, Airbus, and Airbus". It's roughly 50/50.

  15. Re:What could go wrong? on Crashed Boeing Planes Lacked Safety Features That Company Sold Only As Extras (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Amateur could be a reason, but Muslim? Anyway, the pilots were not amateurs.

  16. People need to go to prison for releasing insecure pieces of shit like this onto the market

    Unfortunately that happens more and more ; even the aircraft industry is affected, it seems.

  17. Re:Cheese and Rice on 750,000 Medtronic Defibrillators Vulnerable To Hacking (startribune.com) · · Score: 2

    If you're sitting at home hacking your ass off to shorten the life of defibrillator patients, man, you need to get out more.

    Out of billions some would do that, for free. Why take the risk?

  18. Re:Don't hire Chinese employees on Tesla Sues Former Employees For Allegedly Stealing Data, Autopilot Source Code (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Not hiring women is being racist? Since when?

  19. Important word missing on Many People Think AI Could Make Better Policy Decisions Than Politicians (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    So, current AI would be better than current politicians? See, that's relative. Words matter.

  20. Bandwidth? on Opera Adds Free and Unlimited VPN Service To Its Android Browser (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If many people use Opera VPN, the browsers speed will be a problem (unless they have many many servers, which is doubtful for a free VPN).

  21. Number 1? Let see competitions that matter... on U.S. Students Have Achieved World Domination in Computer Science Skills -- For Now (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    For instance Google Code Jam". A contest in English, from the US. Between 2003 and 2018, 45 persons won the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. Among the 45, only 3 are Americans...

  22. Tried to install it on my system: got an "invalid or corrupted package" error.

  23. Re:That isn't "math anxiety." on Kids Have 'Math Anxiety' Thanks To Parents and Teachers, Report Finds (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Kind of social pressure. There wouldn't be anxiety If nobody cared about maths.

  24. Yeah, but nobody cares about the 7th of February
