  1. citation needed on The London Riots and Facial Recognition Technology · · Score: 1

    that is, if you believe in things like evidence and reason.

  2. thanks for translating on The London Riots and Facial Recognition Technology · · Score: 1

    i heard the same interview, and i couldnt believe these people were speaking english.

    i hear people from all over the world speak english on news reports, people from vietnam, pakistan, east africa, the middle east, russia, etc. i even heard vladimir putin speaking english to a CNN reporter.

    i can understand vladimir putin's english, but i can't understand teenagers in the middle of london.

    thank you, for posting this. i feel like my life has changed after reading it. so beautiful, so simple, so sincere.

  4. we already had a cyber attack. remember Enron? on Why The US Will Lose a Cyber War · · Score: 3, Informative

    they shut down the power grids, by twiddling some bits in a computer, and laughing about grannies who would be without power.

    of course they got away with it, because they were well connected politically and ideologically to the 'free market uber alles' people.

    you could also argue the financial crisis of 2008 was a cyber attack on the part of the bankers, hedge fund managers, ratings agencies, insurance companies, and government regulators who all colluded to create massive fraud of the Synthetic CDO "industry", which wiped out vast mountains of money ... all using little numbers in computers, swishing things to the Cayman Islands and so forth.

  7. IBM has done it before - Russia circa 1930 on IBM Plays SimCity With Portland, Oregon · · Score: 1

    A planned economy requires massive quantities of mathematics to be performed.

    And IBM was there to help. The Soviet Union was one of the biggest customers of IBM equipment, all through the 20s, the 30s, the Holodomor, the purges, etc.

  9. oh thank god, software is so reliable on New USB Specification Promises 100W of Power · · Score: 1

    and never hacked.

    it reminds me of the PC days of the 80s, when a DOS virus could overdrive the monitor controls and shower the user with Xrays.

  10. you challenge the communist party? on New USB Specification Promises 100W of Power · · Score: 1

    all chinese power supplies are 100% best quality. it says so right on the big box they ship it over in.

    why would they lie? the people's interest are automatically represented by the party representatives. why would the government ever allow a shoddy product to be shipped overseas?

    it just doesnt make logical sense.

  11. stop your whinin' on New USB Specification Promises 100W of Power · · Score: 1

    you liberals and your fancy pants words and regulations.

    we need 1000 watt USB ports, then we can run a BBQ grill and piss off the vegetarians

  17. it has nothing to do with india on India Wants To Monitor Twitter, Facebook · · Score: 1

    it is about governments, all governments, which seem to have some sort of natural tendency to act like this.

  18. honestly a lot of them are just criminal thugs on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 1

    every 'revolution' may have legitimate reasons, but rioting and arson are their own animals, and often attract people whose main purpose in life is to loot and pillage... nobody 'needs' a Wii.

    thats one reason the civil rights groups in the South had training for their protest marchers, to keep out these types.

    and its why governments often try to infiltrate false-flaggers into these groups.

  19. technology blamed for iraq war on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 1

    "The Congress's Blackberry messaging network and uncritical mainstream media outlets are being blamed by peace activists, security analysts, and anyone with a shred of common sense for George Bush spreading word about the next hot spot, Iraq . It's an 'encrypted, very secure, safe, fast, cheap, free, easy way for arrogant politicians to spread messages for the next targets'

  20. i dont like to mock or laugh at india on India Wants To Monitor Twitter, Facebook · · Score: 4, Insightful

    only the indian government, and then it has nothing to do with being 'indian', but rather because it is 'government'.

    then does light also attract black holes?

    that is, does light exert a gravitational force on other celestial entities?

    then, the next question, how fast is that force of gravity propagated?
