    The only phone he'd use is one without a radio.

    Yeah, that wire always leads to nowhere... impossible to trace that... Damn FBI is everywhere. They even got lip readers. Make sure to cover your mouth when you're talking.

    I only relay what people who have been tell me. Believe what you want. Just don't think you can ever convince me that war is any less savage it has always been. Only a basement dweller would actually believe it.

    Sure you aren't hearing the network? That's the case with an old laptop I have. Damn thing squeals like an old TV, up and down with the brightness, but not nearly so loud. Maybe it's the power supply.

    Tell me all about it after you been there. I don't pretend to know. You shouldn't either. Your comprehension of such things is sorely lacking.

    "Red", but not "tape".

    Anyway, the Q branch knows how to get around this

  6. It's the beauty, and the bane of high technology on What Federal Employees Really Need To Worry About After the Chinese Hack · · Score: 1

    Secrets are harder to keep. Personally I see it as a bit of an equalizer, and makes warfare a bit more symmetrical, thus less effective in gaining supremacy.

  7. Censorship on Interviews: Ask Richard Stallman a Question · · Score: 2

    What are the best ways to circumvent censorship? In other words, How can we make the *Internet* indelible and unblockable by our most vulnerable single point of failure, the ISP, which invariably acts as an agent of the state?

  8. Re:prevent the gun from firing on Hacking a 'Smart' Sniper Rifle · · Score: 1

    Yes, they are...

    Yeah, from a basement command and control room in Nevada, sure! And seeing pretty pictures on the TeeVee... It's all Nintendo to you! Bleh! I'm feeding a troll...

  9. That also works. I'm just used to the Mac, and to me, the Command and Control keys should be in the same place on their respective keyboards. It was more comfortable to use with my thumb.

  10. Swap the Ctrl and Alt keys on Ask Slashdot: Why Is the Caps Lock Key Still So Prominent On Keyboards? · · Score: 2

    Please!

    And give us back our reset button, and disk activity light, so I know if the machine froze up! What the hell is the matter with you people?

    And you can have my right mouse button when you can pry it from my cold dead hands.

    Yes, today's wars are so much more palatable, aren't they? Yeah, as long as it stays off shore, no problem.

  12. Re:"...the same as trespassing." on Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone · · Score: 3, Informative

    The FAA defines it. 500 feet. 1000 over urban areas. All perfectly reasonable. If a guy is taking pictures from that height or above, too bad. You are fair game.

  13. We have a new sport on Kentucky Man Arrested After Shooting Down Drone · · Score: 1

    A variation of skeet shooting. Seems like you gotta be pretty good to hit one of these things. Well, the guy is right. Thing like that buzzing around my head, I'll take a swat at it, too.The FAA has rules for flying machines, no reason not to apply them here.

    I wonder, if drones, controlled by fast computers and all, could ever be able to detect and avoid rapidly approaching projectiles (bullet, buck shot).

    Yeah, it makes things a bit more personal, doesn't it? And such a world war would be quite the spectacle...

  15. prevent the gun from firing on Hacking a 'Smart' Sniper Rifle · · Score: 1

    This would be ideal! If we prevent all the guns from firing, no more war! Any technology that could neutralize all weapons would be most welcome.

    No, I don't want to hear about /etc/hosts.

    Gee, sorry, I don't know any other way to block it without installing some third party shit, and yes, it makes a huge difference.

  19. Maybe a big old EMP every 20 years might be a good thing. Wipe it all out. Start everything over.

    Ever since I blocked 'player.ooyala.com', load times are much faster..

    Everybody's got an angle. The supermarket strategically places carts and boxes in aisles to block a straight path to the checkout counter. They try to make you walk through the whole store. The world doesn't change.

    Yeah, just pick the part closest to the center. It'll give you the general idea. They kinda botched the whole thing with no captions too.
