  1. Switch it off or throw it away. on Ask Slashdot: How To Stay Ahead of Phone Tracking ? · · Score: 1

    There's no way you can be paged without being discovered. Paging is discovery. Silent paging is always possible. Even without paging, the phone needs to be registered to a cell.

    So
    Switch it off or throw it away.

  2. Smartest Light Bulbs : Dumbest Idea Ever !!!! on Smartest Light Bulbs Ever, Dumbest Idea Ever? · · Score: 1

    >> Smartest Light Bulbs Ever, Dumbest Idea Ever?

    Yes, it's not a good idea. A traditional light bulb must be hot to work properly, so a sphere is the best form factor.
    Trying to put high power leds and their controller in this form factor is a big mistake.
    All these leds "bulbs" will fail prematurely because they simply are too hot. And the expensive ones with better thermal properties do not improve much this design mistake.

    The right form factor or leds is strips, plates, or similar.

  8. Re:the most interesting tech intel puts out these on Intel To Help Stephen Hawking Communicate Faster · · Score: 1

    Yes, the x86 tech has improved a lot.
    However, the intel presentation at CES was empty. They presented a facelift of the same chip with stuff limited, and made false claims on it.
    The competition (x86 or not) is not sleeping like that. intel needs to wake up if they want to survive.

    Impossible.

    Often security breaches are waiting wide open for someone to exploit them. This is the case here.

  17. Safe, Green Thorium is a myth. on Is Safe, Green Thorium Power Finally Ready For Prime Time? · · Score: 0

    Safe, Green Thorium is a myth.

    Why ? coz it's the good old dirty Plutonium/uranium, with aded online reprocessing necessary. Chemical + radiological risk.

    Yes, the reactor might not get critical (if the impulse is slow). But the chemical processing plant will go kaboom for many reasons....

    When the core will be spread around, (explosively or over decades), the same thing will happen a few decades later :

  18. Re:signed compiler on Open Hardware and Software Laptop · · Score: 1

    No. The resources obviously don't allow that. (can't wait days for a system to compile itself)

    Furthermore, you can't be sure the compiler you use is not infected with a malware compromising it's output (there's an old paper on that)

    There are crypto solutions to these problems, but it's not an easy path, that's sure....
