  1. and the fail-safe module directs the UAV towards the ground

    And right into the thief's hands... nice plan.
    Wouldn't that make the thing easier to steal?

  6. Re:But they're useless for spying/'creeping' on Drones Being Used By Peeping Toms, The Military, And Terrorists (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    I just wonder if it was possible to the drone to carry a better, low-light ready secondary camera.

  7. Re:Not likely on Autonomous Robots Begin Testing For New Delivery Service · · Score: 2

    Well, looks like they're really not considering security.
    Not only the stuff inside the bot are valuable to thieves, the own bot can be as well, since it can be dismantled for the parts (i.e. batteries).
    Never underestimate robbers.

    Gone in 64 seconds.

    Siri: F*ck you pervert! (*calls police*)

  10. Re:How about aiming for a pool? on SpaceX's Latest Launch Successful, But Ends With a "Hard Landing" (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    If they use big parachutes to slow the descent, and fluctuators to keep the rocket afloat? Will they be heavier than all the rocket fuel used to land the rocket?

    if only the MS employees knew that this subversive OS was the one making them their morning coffee (the lifeblood of every corporation) they'd probably be up in arms about it. lol

    Microsoft don't hate Linux anymore.

  14. Re:no "In Soviet Russia" comments? on Theremin's Bug Let Soviets Spy On USA For More Than 7 Years (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I've only heard it in games (Age of Empires II) and movies. Never in real life.
    Lifetime of this sound: human history minus a few centuries.

  18. Re:Erh... I don't get it on What Northern Hemisphere Astronomers Are Missing From the Southern Hemisphere · · Score: 1

    Aren't some of the most powerful observatories in Chile? What they are missing?

  19. Pirated software on The Malware of the Future May Come Bearing Real Gifts · · Score: 1

    I bet that software pirates already have injected malware in many warez, mainly heavy graphics games. Doing so they could discreetly control a lot of powerful machines.

  20. Too bad on It's Not Just How Smart You Are: Curiosity Is Key To Learning · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Most schools makes sure to kill curiosity in its nest.

  21. Re:Anarchy??? on Piracy Police Chief Calls For State Interference To Stop Internet "Anarchy" · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The Internet has already descended into Anarchy.

    It has not descended, it was born as an Anarchy. Internet is anarchic by design. That's the way it always was, is, and must be.
    A computer net with strict rules is not internet, it's something else.

  22. Expensive sollutions on New Long-Range RFID Technology Helps Robots Find Household Objects · · Score: 1

    The problem with both StickNFind and UGrokIt and any other similar product I've heard about is that they're too much expensive. 25$ tag on a $10 remote control? Haha.
    I wouldn't mind a product with a short detection range (1 meter for me is good enough to find stuff in lockers and below sofas or inside my car), and/or without any security (for what, burglars can detect stuff with eyeballs too). Doesn't need any fancy stuff like sound beeps or remote tracking or anything, make it simple and CHEAP. I just want a detectable "thing". If it could be affordable (tags in 1 US$ price range), and the tags could be small enough to fit in most stuff (especially the small stuff like keys, thumbdrives, etc), I'm totally sold.

  23. Re:When does the consumer version actual arrive? on The Oculus Rift DK2: In-Depth Review (and Comparison To DK1) · · Score: 1

    It's not ready. Let the cake bake.
    I'd rather wait a lot for a great product than have shit sooner.

  24. Re:What a silly title ... on 'Optical Fiber' Made Out of Thin Air · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily - there are lots of situations where it's not practical to run a cable. Secure connectivity between naval vessels is a prime example, others would be for use in the space program, or cheaper data communication between buildings in a campus. Residential broadband internet would be simpler - put an optical transceiver on the roof and point it at a tower - no more digging up the garden to provide fttp.

    It would work... until it rains.

  25. Re:So what? they can be tapped to. on German NSA Committee May Turn To Typewriters To Stop Leaks · · Score: 1

    The typewriter can be moved around, so you would have to plant microphones everywhere.

    If one install the microphone/sensor in the typewriter, disguised like a part of it, it'd overcome all these problems. It could even harvest power to operate from the vibrations of the machine.
