  1. Re:Rules for thee, not for me on Getty Sued For $1 Billion For Selling Publicly Donated Photos (thestack.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    She's only asking for like $400M, but a previous lawsuit allows treble damages for any further suits against Getty. Sooooooooo.

  2. Wooo AstroTurfing on Tesla and Autopilot Supplier Mobileye Split Up After Fatal Crash (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    Two musky stories in a row? Some PR firm must be getting some big dollars.

  3. Re:Autos cause 1.2 million deaths worldwide each y on Tesla Model S In Fatal Autopilot Crash Was Going 74 MPH In a 65 Zone, NTSB Says (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Because all those other autos aren't touting some magical fairy fart autopilot that's supposed to make you safer but probably doesn't because it lulls you into a false sense of security

  4. > designed to ignore large flat signs that cross above the road.

    Yeah, maybe ones the car can fit under. But there are no signs 'above' the road that are only 4 foot above it, that's an object you need to avoid.

  5. Re:So basically... on Verizon To Disconnect Unlimited Data Customers Who Use Over 100GB/Month · · Score: 0

    Unlimited to Verizon means as much as Autopilot does to Tesla.

  6. Re:Auto pilot is not... on Consumer Reports Calls For Tesla To Disable Autopilot (consumerreports.org) · · Score: 1

    So Unlimited is just UNilaterally LIMITED.

  7. Re:Auto pilot is not... on Consumer Reports Calls For Tesla To Disable Autopilot (consumerreports.org) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    People on slashdot love to rip on companies who advertise Unlimited but still have caps. "Unlimited should mean Unlimited!" But give Tesla a pass when they bill something that's not Autopilot as Autopilot.

    The Musk Distortion Field is strong.

  8. Re:Attenuation Above 10Gz on FCC OKs Sweeping Spectrum Frontiers Rules To Open Up Nearly 11 GHz Of Spectrum (fiercewireless.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Not even good for outdoors, any time it rains you'd be having issues. High Frequency and water dont mix.

  9. Re:I don't understand these warnings. on Cops Warn Pokemon Go Players: Please Don't Trespass To Catch 'em All (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    > Until the pokemon comes out of hiding you can't tell where they are so trespassing to find them makes no sense.

    You answered your own question. People dont know they're *not* there, unless they get close enough to check.

  10. Re:DONT USE NEW TOR UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT on XDedic, Underground Market For Hacked Servers, Resurfaces On Tor Domain (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, random torrent exe's, bound to be completely safe.

  11. Re:State vs Federal Jurisdiction. on Kentucky Anonymous Member Indicted Three Years After FBI Raid (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    > Looking at it as a European, from the outside, I think there's something horrifically wrong that considers rape unimportant enough to leave it to local governments

    That's like saying the EU should be in charge of all laws for every country in it.

  12. Re:More than a few questions on Using a Bomb Robot to Kill a Suspect Is an Unprecedented Shift in Policing (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    > They didn't just detonate a bomb nearby the subject, the PLACED a bomb near the subject and detonated it. In my opinion that is not law enforcement, that's assassination.

    So the definition is how fast the killing projectile approcaches the suspect? If they used a bullet it'd be fine, since it arrives quickly?

  13. > We've had standoffs last weeks when it involves private militia.

    Private Militia in the middle of nowhere, not a heavily populated metropolitan city center.

    Authorization != Authentication

  15. Considering he wasn't an employee anymore, it doesn't really matter.

  16. > They're complaining because they're too dumb to solve their own problem, particularly if this happens on a mass scale.

    You really have no clue what you're talking about do you? Companies have tried this before and people go postal. Instead of going "Well I should stop buying from G2A" they'll go "Well fuck you tinybuild"

  17. > , Tinybuild should immediately revoke the key that went with that purchase.

    Companies have tried this before and customers went postal. Since they paid money for those keys, how dare they deactivate them.

  18. Except that isn't what happens. Companies have tried this before and all this does is get those customers pissed at the developer, instead of their shady sellers.

  19. * Scammers get stolen credit card data.
    * Scammers buy lots of CDkeys from tinybuild.
    * Scammers put keys up on G2A.
    * Legit cardholders chargeback unauthorized purchase
    * tinybuild out money and a cd key.

  20. You have no clue how any of this works do you?

  21. It does need Reform on 180 Artists, Labels Including Taylor Swift Take On YouTube, Join Copyright Plea (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    But not what they want. YouTube's system is too easy to abuse by large players to shut down legitimate content.

    > This is going to keep happening, because the Internet was never, every designed for something like this.

    All it'll actually take is ISPs to actually implement egress filtering. Pretty much every major DDoS method out there requires forged packets to execute. Deny them that and the problem goes away.
