  1. Re:Door on Botnet Uses Default Passwords To Conduct "Internet Census 2012" · · Score: 1

    If you did it in the dead of night... then yes. I might shoot you. the OP did not say you would get shot every time, but that you run the risk of getting shot.

  2. Re:Public Internet ends at your router on Botnet Uses Default Passwords To Conduct "Internet Census 2012" · · Score: 1

    Oddly there are plenty of houses with no front garden... Not to mention people are generally allowed (and expected) to walk up to a door and then politely knock. Just not actually turn the handle.

    Since testing doors and windows requires trespassing... Besides, I am allowed to leave my door unlocked and still have the expectation of random people not opening it.

    Carpet bomb? No more violence or chaos spewing forth from that part of the world...

  5. Re:Dammit Slashdot Editors!!!! on FAA Grants Arlington Texas Police Department Permission To Fly UAVs · · Score: 1

    UAV's have radios. That is how they communicate with their controller. In fact every time you shoot any kind of information through the air you are using a radio... Your cell phone has a radio. Your laptop has a radio. Your car as a radio. You should rethink how important a radio is as a feature demanding outrage.

  6. Re:Double-standard on FAA Grants Arlington Texas Police Department Permission To Fly UAVs · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that if I have a RC helicopter with a Canon Handycam bolted to it that I use to do aerial photography or surveying or something else not related to law enforcement, I am of course allowed to use it and passing a law saying I can't is a violation of my civil rights and personal freedom.

  7. Re:Good luck being a programmer on Code.org Documentary Serving Multiple Agendas? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Then get another job... Seriously. If what you do is so simple that any idiot can do it, then you should be worried. Don't piss on people trying to make their lives better because you are too lazy to stay competitive.

  8. Re:Why did this need to go to the supreme court? on Supreme Court Upholds First Sale Doctrine · · Score: 1

    Shame on the founding fathers for not explicitly pointing out weapons they did not know about in the 1770's! Seriously though, when people talk about "arming" the Seryian rebels, are they talking about giving them swords, pistols, and muskets? No. They are talking about giving them modern weapons.

    You must also agree that the right to be secure in our papers should not apply to electronic communications because, again, the founding fathers did not specify emails and phone conversations...

    Actually that would be the state governments, not the federal government.

  10. Re:Why did this need to go to the supreme court? on Supreme Court Upholds First Sale Doctrine · · Score: 2

    So you do not consider the ability of the people to revolt and toss aside an undesirable government fundamental or good? Do you trust your government that much? How many governments in the past 10 years have required toppling via force and how many more need to go? Peaceful resolution of problems with the government is obviously preferable to armed revolt, but what do you do when peaceful solutions do not work? What do you do when dissidents become criminalized and people begin to disappear?

    Or are you referring to the fact that 2nd amendment simply says "bear arms" and everyone interprets this as "guns" when in fact armament should probably refer to any weapon?

    The 18th was repealed... Outlawing booze accomplished nothing other than turn normal people into criminals.

    To constantly have your religion shoved down our throats is intellectual oppression. You cannot erase 2000+ years of history. To attempt to remove all references of it is to do a disservice to yourself. Accept the fact that the mythology you loath is an important part of our culture and shut the fuck up.

    This is slashdot. If we can't spin it into "OMG Obama/MS/Apple/Patents/Republicans are evil and spying on us and there is no freedom" it's not worth mentioning.

    Yes, you CAN calculate it to amazing accuracy... However it also incredibly easy to screw it up and when you are talking about the speed of light, small errors accumulate surprisingly fast. So while I trust the physics and the math, I don't trust the user or the implementation.
