  1. Re:Qui Bono? on You Might Rent Features & Options On Cars In the Future · · Score: 1

    I really dislike the trend of buying products but being restricted in how we can modify them. When warranties are involved, the manufacturer should have some say to prevent you from wrecking your car. But when they start throwing DMCA suits against you, that's when you know when it has gone too far.

    Maybe this will be the example the lawmakers need to see how ridiculous their policies are.

    I'm sure ripping the wires out of the floor and running your seat warmer won't mess with your insurance. What are you even getting at?

  3. Re:Weapons purposes in license on USS Zumwalt — a Guided Missile Destroyer Running On Linux · · Score: 1, Troll

    But if its being used by a tyrant, is the code really free?

  4. Weapons purposes in license on USS Zumwalt — a Guided Missile Destroyer Running On Linux · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a provision in the license stating the software cannot be used for weapons purposes or something of the like?

  5. Nearly identical cheaper alternatives? on Battling Fish Fraud With DNA Testing · · Score: 2

    If the cheaper version is nearly identical then what warrants the high price to begin with?

  6. Re:Soviet Russia jokes overload on New Samsung TV Watches You Watching It · · Score: 1

    The hard part is making Nietzsche jokes that don't have terrifying implications in the real world. Like the Daily Show.

  7. Maybe I'm missing something on U.S. Missile Defense Against Iran Makes China/Russia Mad, Might Not Even Work · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm missing something, but how it it a "problem" that the system is able to block missiles from Russia and China?

  8. Re:This is truly good news on Embryonic Stem Cell Retinal Implants Seem Safe, So Far · · Score: 1

    It doesn't become a person, they either throw it out or grow it into a sheet in a petri dish.

  9. Verizon handled this pretty well in my oppinion on Verizon Offers Refunds For Fraudulent SMS Messages · · Score: 1

    A few years back, I got slammed with something like this when I stupidly let someone use my number cause they didnt have a phone. After calling Verizon, they refunded my money and put something on my account to block the possibility of me being signed into any of this shit ever again.

  10. Re:What about credit cards, and the WWW? on Anti-Google Video Runs In Times Square · · Score: 1

    Yup, hide in numbers.

  11. Re:People have all the privacy they want: on Anti-Google Video Runs In Times Square · · Score: 1

    Just use adblock and block the tracking pixel. Its fucking trivial.

    Lil' wayne can hardly be called a group.

  14. Re:AIs on Look For AI, Not Aliens · · Score: 1

    There IS the theory that once we create an AI at or near human level it will begin improving itself exponentially almost immediately.

  15. Re:it's the same thing on Look For AI, Not Aliens · · Score: 1

    Better yet how would the search method differ?

  16. Re:It gets sillier all the time. on Look For AI, Not Aliens · · Score: 1

    Yup, since the "outside world" is actually just your imagination's interpretation of the signals your sensory organs produce.

  17. Re:It gets sillier all the time. on Look For AI, Not Aliens · · Score: 1

    Digital is all about interpretation, all signals are analog when you get down to it. Mix that into the sound of a screaming star and you've got white noise. Who's to say the 1/2 db 3ms drop is from the star or the signal?

    ...radioactive radiation...

    As opposed to what?

    Yes, once we let them take 24 megs off a GB, they'll never stop trying to shave more off.

    It doesnt matter if they follow what Reagan would have wanted, he's the republican's Jesus, and we all know how they consider what he would have wanted.

  22. Re:Who the hell is "we"? on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    I never give silent consent, I'm actually quite vocal about the problems I see, but if I step out of line (i.e. not pay taxes) I get thrown in a cage.
