  1. Re:option for surrender on Using a Bomb Robot to Kill a Suspect Is an Unprecedented Shift in Policing (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    In this case they did, they negotiated for hours. Pretty sure Micah X Johnson was not going to be taken alive.

  2. What do you mean, you have them save your credit card info on their servers, which means their servers are a one stop shop for hackers.

  3. Why would I want Walmart storing my payment info when I have a nice little card that does it for me? No one should be storing payment info, it just becomes a target for hackers.

  4. Re:What's good for the goose on Chinese Telecom Giant Huawei Sues T-Mobile For Patent Infringment (geekwire.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Except neither of these companies are American. T-Mobile is a German company.

  5. Sour Grapes? on iPhone 7 To Start at 32GB Storage, Says WSJ (time.com) · · Score: 0

    I often hear from you techno weenies that iPhone users are morons, yet studies (ok study) tend to show the opposite.
    Are their any studies that show the opposite?

    High powered? This is their budget card, not their flagship model (that has not been released yet).

    Once you save that one, is it really a suicide bombing anymore?

  8. Re:A "miniscule" problem will not get resolved. on 'New Way of Stealing Cars': Hacking Them With A Laptop (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 2

    Since assault rifles are an actual classification of weapon with a select fire switch and automatic capability and are highly regulated to the point it would cost over $10000 to purchase one (as long as you can get an FFL) and assault weapon is a media created term describing a hunting rifle that is shaped like a military weapon, then I would say that the civilian deaths by assault rifles in America are statistically close to 0.

  9. Re:Anus transplant on Apple To Encourage Organ Donation With Health App (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Does your dad know you are using his computer again?

  10. Re:Well... on Apple To Encourage Organ Donation With Health App (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    His mistake of eschewing medical treatment for alternative medicine should have knocked him off the transplant list, or at least put him on the bottom.

    I have a serious problem with those k-9 laws. Because it's a police dog you get life. Kill a civilian dog and it might not even be considered a crime beyond property damage.

    Pretty sure ramming it with a car would do the trick.

    Tarp has the benefit that you can cover yourself until you disable the cameras by tossing said tarp over the robot.

    Easy enough to deal with. 1 jam communications (not difficult for the tech savvy among us) or as someone mentioned earlier, use a tarp to cover it. 2 proceed to beat it with crowbars until you can see circuit boards.

    My method sounds so much more satisfying.

    Did you read my comment? "Beat it into parts". I know what a hard drive looks like, shouldn't be too hard to find.

  17. Re:Roku + Plex Media Server on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Preferred Media Streaming Device? · · Score: 1

    fair enough.

  18. Ok, but I still think it is a poor choice of words, when a more appropriate (and understandable) term would be leases.

  19. Re:No 'clear evidence' on The FBI Recommends Not To Indict Hillary Clinton For Email Misconduct (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Depends on the law, But laws on espionage require more then just intent to violate the law but intent to harm the US. You would be hard pressed to find that kind of intent in HRC's actions.

  20. Re:It's bullshit is what it is on The FBI Recommends Not To Indict Hillary Clinton For Email Misconduct (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The laws that would be used to indict her require intent, In fact they require intent to act against the US. Since there is no way you could prove that Hillary intended to weaken or hurt the United States there is no chance of conviction.

    So I bring something to jam it's radio signal and then beat into parts. By the time they find it I am long gone. No muss no fuss no evidence pointing to me.

    And by the time the guard and tech get there several cars are either missing or vandalized.

    But does a robot provide the same level of deterrence? And if not does it in any way provide better coverage then cctv?

  24. A robot is not an employee, it is a tool. You don't hire robots, you put them in service.

    You don't get to change his quote. That is exactly what he said verbatim. He also claimed that Mexico is sending them here, Not that they are coming here for work or what ever but that the country is actively sending criminals in to the US. That is quite the accusation with no source to back it up.
