  1. Re: This is the missing piece on Revolutionary Ion Thruster To Be Tested On International Space Station (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    According to this information (http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Ion_propulsion) this technology is 252 years early.

  2. Interpreting the Interpretation on Oracle Formally Proposes That Java Adopt Ahead-of-Time Compilation (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Or you can write your code in C and use JNI to execute that code.

  3. It can teach an AI how to be lazy.

  4. Re: Easy Maintenance on China's Atomic Clock in Space Will Stay Accurate For a Billion Years (rt.com) · · Score: 1

    They should have sent up one of these babies (JILA Strontium Atomic Clock Sets New Records https://www.nist.gov/news-even...). No maintenance required :)

  5. That wonderful expression in Justina's face when she told the reporters, "They were crazy." Priceless. As Professor Zimbardo's research demonstrates, in such tightly knit authority structures, yelling at a naked person in the shower saying, "You cannot be rude!" is acceptable. What they wanted from her was absolute submission and luckily she was rescued in time. I love happy endings.

  6. Re: Wacky? Maybe, but at least he's got vision. on Elon Musk Scales Up His Ambitions, Considering Going 'Well Beyond' Mars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    A galaxy class starship? :D Well, somebody's working for the benefit of humanity. Just don't subcontract it out Mr. Musk!

  7. Knowledge Should Pull on Microsoft Weaponizes Minecraft In the War Over Classrooms (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't this a bit like sneaking kale and spinach in the burger? It's good for you but that's not why you eat a burger.

  8. It puts the iPhone on its skin.

  9. Easy Maintenance on China's Atomic Clock in Space Will Stay Accurate For a Billion Years (rt.com) · · Score: 2

    So they just have to correct it by a second 5 times before the Sun explodes.

  10. Re: I expect it more complicated. on Russia Bans Pornhub, YouPorn - Tells Citizens To Meet Someone In Real Life (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    You've got to stand tall for what you believe in. Even when times are hard.

  11. Lauri Love to Be Extradited on Alleged Hacker Lauri Love To Be Extradited To US (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I swear I thought the article was about to explain how a man named Lauri would love to be extradited to US.

  12. Re: I expect it more complicated. on Russia Bans Pornhub, YouPorn - Tells Citizens To Meet Someone In Real Life (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I have a feeling Russian citizens will have to take the law into their own hands.

  13. Nah, it's probably just C'thulhu looking around.

  14. Something you never hear. on Arrests Made After Group Hacks CIA Director's AOL Account (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    CIA! Freeze!

  15. Student Labor/Interns/College Football Players on When Your Boss Is An Algorithm (ft.com) · · Score: 1

    There comes a time in every exploitative industry where the industry operators are making so much money from workers under questionable circumstances that everyone clearly sees that this is a job, not a volunteering opportunity with benefits. Uber, Deliveroo and the like finally got there it would seem. Time to pay their fair share.

  16. Re: Suicide bomber? on How The Navy Tried To Turn Sharks into Torpedos (undark.org) · · Score: 1

    I was surprised by the clear lack of laser beams myself.

  17. There, we are at last discussing why it sucks to have any digital information on the clouds.

  18. Ad BLOCKING? on China Bans Ad Blocking (adexchanger.com) · · Score: 1

    What about ad corrupting? A plugin in every navigation software which randomly clicks ads? I'd say stop it by reducing the value of the data you are being forced to see. I suppose putting a sticker on the monitor where ads are is also an option.

  19. Where Have You Been? on Jill Stein Pledges To Pardon Snowden and Appoint Him To Her Cabinet (zerohedge.com) · · Score: 1

    She sounds too good to be true, all my votes belong to Dr. Stein!

  20. You know, a major property of the security of a password is the fact that it's something you know. If you write it down, it's something you have.

  21. For a second there I read the title as DOJ will not file charges against Edward Snowden.

  22. Nope, also not a snake. More like a carwash gun thingy which goes from side to side. Elon Musk's was probably bad to drop the soap looking metal snake.

  23. Re:Manufacturing your own obsolecence on Let's Stop Freaking Out About Artificial Intelligence (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    AI can do worse without securing our inputs and/or having an open government protected privacy mechanism (NSA! Halp?).
    I can see it now, annoy-a-tron-5000! Records everyone's movements, trains a large data-set to detect with %99.999 accuracy when you are about to sneeze, and loudly plays the sound of a crow from a distant drone. Predictive analysis? Sure, given the patterns, blasts the sound of a crow (now comes with a directional mechanical wave!) we can annoy your target BEFORE they sneeze! Make people hate life! Sure you could have always done this, but people get tired, AI doesn't. Purchase annoy-a-tron-5000 today!

  24. Re: Yes please on Wisconsin's Prison-Sentencing Algorithm Challenged in Court (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    public static final Set criterion = new HashSet(); static {
    // This is where the secrecy && the problem would be. }

    int getSentencing() {
    int dangerous = 0;
    for (Crieria criteria : criterion) {
    dangerous += criteria.getDangerValue();
    }
    return dangerous; }

  25. Re: Impressive but useful? on Malware Can Use Fan Noise To Steal Data From Air-Gapped Systems (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    Nah man, you just remember it by ear. Go home and write down all the 1s and 0s.
