  1. Re:Why is Police band unencrypted? on Jailbreak Turns Cheap Walkie-Talkie Into DMR Police Scanner · · Score: 4, Informative

    "If you can monitor things you shouldn't" who says you shouldn't? Many people have and do get scanners for that very reason. Nothing wrong or illegal about it.

    Nope, but you do severely limit what hardware you can use.

    > but the mistake is understandable in that example

    No it's not. You don't get to have mistakes with deadly weapons. That is how things like three year old's shooting themselves with your gun happen. It is irresponsible to not know where your firearm. You decide to own one your are responsible for it 24/7.

  5. You mean the scam like we got today?

    Barbara,

    I'll need you to make an Express Wire transfer of $24,350.00 to a Bank Account before banking hours are closed for the day.
    Let me know how feasible this would be.

    these have been getting a lot of use lately. How stupid do you have to be to not verify these transfer requests?

    ". My user ID would be meaningless to you and wouldn't really reveal anything about me anyway"
    I beg to differ. It would allow me to look at your posting history which would most likely tell me a lot about you.

    what kind of fires are you going to put out with 5lbs of water?

  8. Re:until the thieves steal the drone on How Amazon's Drone Deliveries Will Work (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    UPS has a driver who can report the theft to the police and possibly identify the crook.

    It will work for suburbs and gated communities.

  11. Re: Naughty cannabis on French Drug Trial Leaves One Brain Dead and Five Critically Ill (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Except it has been widely reported, albeit incorrectly, as a cannabis based drug because news outlets no longer verify information and just reprint what others say.

  12. Re:Naughty cannabis on French Drug Trial Leaves One Brain Dead and Five Critically Ill (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    ABC, CBS, Bloomberg, Daily Mail, Verge, and many more have all reported incorrectly that it was a cannabis based drug.

  13. Who owns the code posted to Stack Overflow?

  14. Actually this sounds exactly like a storage node. Definitely not a VM host as it does not have nearly enough cores. It sounds like a perfect low cost nas for a vm cluster.

  15. Re:Isn't Helium running out? on Seagate Adopts Helium For a 10TB HDD (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Party balloons use 19% of the worlds helium, Hard Drives are estimated to use less then 1%, but hey, let's complain about the non-wasteful use.

  16. Re:Did IP numbers disappear? on Are Phone Numbers Doomed To Die? (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    If you are using a desktop os as a server os you are probably using NAT on your router. Why would you bother using IPv6 on the lan when you are already doing address translation? Sounds like you want to jump on the new shiny even though nothing is broken.

  17. Re:Those pesky civil rights... on Marco Rubio: We Need To Add To US Surveillance Programs (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    Since the majority of Democratic super delegates have pledged support for HRC (45 to 1 I believe) it sounds naive to claim that Hillary is not the most likely nominee.

    I'd love it if just once when someone made that "Obama has blah blah 2nd Amendment blah blah" statement, they followed it up with what exactly Obama actually did in regards to changing or violating the 2nd Amendment. That part is always missing..

  21. Re:Already accomplishing on Free State Project 93% Towards Goal (freestateproject.org) · · Score: 1

    The whole idea that Jury Nullification is valid is offset by the oath you take when serving on a jury. "Do you have any beliefs that might prevent you from making a decision based strictly on the law?" As Jury Nullification is not law, serving on a jury with the intent to nullify is perjury.

  22. Re:Already accomplishing on Free State Project 93% Towards Goal (freestateproject.org) · · Score: 1

    On October 24, 2014, the New Hampshire Supreme Court effectively nullified the law, holding that the wording of the statute does not allow defense attorneys to tell juries they can "nullify" a law
