It's really really bad what the C*O's of Equifax have done, they totally shirked their responsibilities as "leaders", and life in prison would, in my opinion, be appropriate punishment. To call for all of this company's employees to be sentenced to death? C'mon. By this logic, all the starving, mislead citizens of N. Korea should be nuked along with their crazy leader. That's morally wrong on so many levels.
I need to retract my statement above. Someone from Slashdot has just contacted me via my connected email account and has promised to investigate the matter. We are currently trying to work out this issue. I was told that whatever the reason is for my being unable to create a new password has nothing to do with a comment made by me some years ago about reddit. I may have jumped the gun on this one, and new management at slashdot is very responsive, it seems. Thank you Logan Abbot

The "promised" version of the Ouya seemed good, just that it could be used for game emulation would've been enough to warrant buying it. After some time we learned the controller was poor, the tegra chip underpowered and not upgradable, and it wasn't as 'hackable' as it was first thought to be. Done right, it could've opened up lots of uses, but since most game emulation can be done by any decent smartphone/ tablet with any well made bluetooth controller made Ouya un-unique. So it would be a fun gadget to screw around with, I can only see buying it for real cheap, since it will just end up in the bottom of my extra electronics drawer with all the other dead-tech devices after a while.
Massachusetts.wants a million dollar insurance policy, to be paid by the driver/ vehicle owner. Not that that's absurd to ask for, but insurance rates may price out the driver, owner.
What Scientists Learned Mapping a Sunken Aircraft Carrier
SCIENTISTS HAVE SURVEYED a World War II-era aircraft carrier scuttled off the coast of San Francisco in 1951, advancing our understanding of how thoroughly we can explore the ocean floor while providing new knowledge about how ships fare after decades under water.
The 3-D sonar survey of the USS Independence was part of a two-year project by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to find and document hundreds of wrecks in the Gulf of the Farallones and learn more about the area’s rich maritime and biological history.
I just found a YouTube of a brutal, but well done hallway fight scene. I'm not familiar with the show, one of the YT comments is, "It's a reference to the korean movie Oldboy, which has a hallway fight Daredevil was inspired by."
I've read online (no personal experience) that if your Android device runs slowly after updating you should reset the device (after backing up any personal information that's on it). This tactic seems to work for most devices that have slowed after updating. PITA to have to do, though.
When a video of a white cop shooting an unarmed black man as he fled from him surfaced on the internet Tuesday, many people responded with a combination of grief at what had happened and grim satisfaction that a policeman would finally face murder charges for lethal use of force against someone who posed no threat to him. Many also marveled at the bravery it took for the eyewitness to film the atrocity knowing full well the cop might harm him as well if he saw him. Now that witness has come forward to say that he was, and remains, afraid for his life as a result of his part in the incident, and he considered deleting the footage because of it.
In an interview with MSNBC’s All In With Chris Hayes, witness Feidin Santana elaborated on his experience and the emotions he felt during and after it.
“I won’t deny that I knew the magnitude of this, and I even thought about erasing the video. I felt that my life, with this information, might be in danger,” said Santana. “I thought about erasing the video and just getting out of the community, you know Charleston, and living some place elseI knew the cop didn’t do the right thing.”
Santana says the police officer definitely saw him, and that he kept filming “so he can feel that someone is there.”
Santana told the New York Times he contacted the family of shooting victim Walter Scott and told them he had the video, but he wanted to wait and see if officer Michael Slager was going to tell the truth first. When that didn’t happen, he turned the video over:
Mr. Scott and Mr. Santana made a gentleman’s agreement after viewing the video on Sunday. They would wait another day to see if there was any need to release it: If the police stuck to the struggling-for-the-Taser story, then Mr. Santana would give the video to the family, despite his trepidation that the officer would come after him.
“I had to hold my breath and let him go,” Mr. Scott said.
By Sunday night, the family had made contact with an Atlanta lawyer who was experienced in cases involving police misconduct. The lawyer, L. Chris Stewart, got in his car and drove five hours to Charleston, arriving after 2 a.m.
On Monday, the statements from the Police Department had not changed. “It was obvious that we didn’t even have to ask him for it,” Mr. Scott said. “He was still hesitant, but he gave it to us.”
Why shouldn't others post it to YouTube? Or this image stabilized gif of the officer planting the taser near the body? i.imgur.com/DTYSXXC.gif Why shouldn't the news be the true news be posted, by anyone? http//:www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/apr/08/south-carolina-walter-scott-shooting-audio-video
Bullshit! The person filming the incident turned the video over to the family of the deceased, he didn't care about youtube hits. So now, the cheif of police has ordered another 100+ bodycams for his cops, on top of the 100+ they'd already received.
To stand up for what's right does make that person a "Hero".

I had high hopes for the Ouya. Look forward to buying a discounted unsold unit in the future...
Ah, LDS, obviously...
By years end, odds of rocket landing successfully will be 80%. Took me awhile to understand that too.
It has to use the wired headset as the FM antenna.

@elonmusk
Odds of rocket landing successfully today are still less than 50%. The 80% figure by end of year is only bcs many launches ahead.

Musk has said that they're shooting for an 80% success rate by years end.
Really, you would think with all the money spent on this mission that they could AVOID crashing into an ENTIRE PLANET!!! But, No-o-ooo!

4 missed, 3 body shots and the last was the head shot hit, probably it's the "kill shot".
