    They clearly spelled "intranet" incorrectly.

    I didn't catch any stories like that. Why is China mad at them this time?

  3. Re:Who will get on North Korean Internet Is Down · · Score: 1

    The blame?

    Well obviously it's all that torrent traffic from North Koreans downloading bootleg copies of The Interview.
    (by the way, I think South Korea did it)

    You know, a C# textbook I got on Amazon really did have too many { and ; in it.

  5. allegedly on Tor Network May Be Attacked, Says Project Leader · · Score: 1

    So allegedly the rumor is that the FBI is taking down part of the network to try and somehow catch and/or prove the North Koreans were behind the hack on Sony. I don't know how true that is. Seems like it wouldn't matter if we had proof or not. That puffy doughboy piece of shit running North Korea is a perpetual liar and we can't possibly like him less nor with the US do anything about it in either case.

  6. Re:even better on Tesla About To Start Battery-Swap Pilot Program · · Score: 1

    If one Tesla shows up every couple days, you can charge it at 1000W and a 1000W array is very cheap. You could fit that on the roof of a 1500 sq ft building. If a Tesla doesn't show up, sell it back to the grid. Btw your numbers are far off.

    Did you know that if you build a 10,000 watt solar array, you can make the equivalent of about 11 cents per 1000W per hour and if you build a 1,000,000 solar array, you still make the equivalent of 11 cents per 1000W per hour. It scales, genius.

  9. even better on Tesla About To Start Battery-Swap Pilot Program · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My take on this is if they put up wind or solar arrays, it would work better than trying to charge people's cars live off it. They could have more of a flexible margin of when they charge the batteries because as long as they have full ones to give out, they're in the clear. So if the wind isn't blowing, they just wait to charge the empty ones later. So technically all their electricity could be free if they played their cards right.

  10. So they can simulate running aground, sinking, getting jacked by pirates, all the plumbing failing, people throwing up, kids running around being brats, the restaurants running out of food, and the ship claiming your tickets are incorrect? That must have taken a lot of clever programming.

  11. Re:Only for white people ? on Virtual Reality Experiment Wants To Put White People In Black Bodies · · Score: 0, Troll

    Seems rather biased to think that only white people can have racial biases.

    Especially considering that most black people are raised to think white people are evil, racist, privileged assholes and that learning and going to college are "too white."

  14. not likely on Computer Error Grounds Flights In the UK · · Score: 2

    That explanation isn't likely. They have pen and paper backup solutions for simply putting planes in order for landing and takeoff. To shut down to that degree, it would have had to be something more important like radar shutting down so planes might collide.
    Or they're idiots and didn't have a backup pen and paper solution that was used for decades before computers and all staff should have been trained on.

  15. blow their minds on Tracking the Mole Inside Silk Road 2.0 · · Score: 4, Funny

    If I ran a secret tor service site thing, I'd had 5 moderators and 1 administrator and they'd all be me just to mess with people's heads. That would prevent moles.

  16. Re:I have a solution on Once Again, Baltimore Police Arrest a Person For Recording Them · · Score: 1

    Are you fucking stupid or something? I said when A PERSON FILMS THE POLICE then they walk over to THAT PERSON and try to delete the footage, physically prevent them from doing it and detain the officer. I'm not talking about the dumbass law violator getting arrested that's being filmed.

    Here's what I'd realistically do. They tell me to hand over the camera, I tell them to get a warrant. They say it again, I ask what law I'm violating. They ask again or try to take the camera by force, I'll like and tell them it's streaming online in realtime so they can't erase it and inform them they're done and over with in their police career. They try and take it a fourth time or threaten to use force, I'd let them touch me once then cut their throat with a knife I always have on me and call it self defense in court. Who gives a fuck if they were a cop. That's irrelevant. They were just a person violating a law and assaulting me and I have a right to make sure that evidence I filmed goes to court and gets them arrested/fined/fired and to protect myself from a completely unwarranted assault.

  17. I solved it on Facebook Offers Solution To End Drunken Posts · · Score: 1

    I solved it before them. Don't drink, ever. Works for me.
    On that subject, if it calls one single photo of me drunk, we're gonna have a big fucking problem. I don't ever upload a single photo of me for privacy reasons but still.

  18. I have a solution on Once Again, Baltimore Police Arrest a Person For Recording Them · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It should be legal for, when any cop trying to do this, to assault and detain them. They're breaking the law, violating the constitution, destroying evidence, and committing fraud, all in one and what the hell are you supposed to do, call the police? I'd knock him the fuck out and make him prove in court that I didn't need to. Surprise, I needed to in order to preserve evidence of him committing a crime. You know, a citizen using force to prevent a crime from being committed...that thing that's completely legal in 50 states. OH THAT'S RIGHT police officers are magic and immune to the law and can go around making up their own laws. I forgot.

    Not as much as the cost of those RFID tags or whatever they had to add to their cups. The expense was obviously passed directly onto the customer.
    They spent money on RFID tags and charged the consumer more to ensure that the customer pays them more money by not buying off-brand stuff. Now that's how you show customer appreciation.
