  1. Re:Radio Shack Surplus in Fort Worth on The Death of Electronic Surplus (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    I visited a Radio Shack store in Washington back in 2000. It seemed an old store full of junk in a corner of an arcade mall. The staff did not even acknowledge my presence. Once I heard them telling to the customer they needed their ID to make the sell, I left.

  2. Are not they passing legislation making politicians liable for corruption? It is so fine and dandy legislating other people work and putting them working for free for the media cartels, but god forbids them from cleaning their own backyard.

  3. No reference to upgrades on Zero-Day Bugs In Numerous Modems/Routers Could Compromise Millions of Users (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    Disclaimer: I worked in the past for a cable operator... What the article does fail to mention is that once there is: 1st) Once there is an update, the ISP provider upgrades all of the modems REMOTELY. 2nd and for more important. Normally the (cable modem) routers are in a protected network with PRIVATE IP addresses. So if you are using a model that does not doubles up as router, you are good. If you do that, the modem usually is crappy and slow anyway, disable the routing function, buy your own router, and put it only doing bridging.

    Less cables, less maintenance, not such a price difference. I am not sure if the convenience will outweigh the problems in a closed / monitoring only network.

    I did not deal with it 8h a day. There were a 2 or 3 known rotten apples who abused the trust system. We already counted on having problems with them, and registered everything.

    I have read the original article when this happen (you know Europeans looovvvve to read), and the teenager daughter was getting a tan by the pool when the drone was shot.

    Hey, like idiot slashdot users who only post shit. Same thing. Lets say I am flying over a drone on your basement and see if you like it too.

  11. Re:Do you know how far bullets fly? on Judge: Defendant 'Had a Right' To Shoot Down Drone (wdrb.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you would explain to me why such a drone would need to flow so low through the entire neighbourhood as in this case, I would be tempted to believe your comments are valid.

    Over is some understatement. If they are talking about bellow tree line, it must have been really low, maybe a couple of meters above ground. I guess it is only natural people will feel threatened by such a large unnatural "mosquito". I would.

    Actually I am European and it seems pretty reasonable to me. No free passes to weirdos using drones to spy on semi-naked teen girls.

    It depends on the places, but often the best strategy is really to have minutes of meetings. It is not in written form, it did not happen. Plus, you have people that say shit counting on others not to remember that after a couple of months, and who often get furious when we send a minute of the meeting. As the parent says, grow people need to cover their ass.

  16. Why do you still do business and buy things from a company known to be hostile to their customer base both in legal and technical terms?

    If I were Apple I would not ever implement something like that. In the happy sue mentality of the USA, it would be just a disaster waiting to happen.

    No he is not the idiot fucker. It is exasperating having wifi for free in coffeeshops or malls near home, and not be able to using them, for instance, for a change, because there are always a couple of idiots freeloaders that go there to suck the connections downloading movies.

  25. If you paid for the highway/freeway/motorway then nobody has the right to decide at what speed you drive, or you having lesser priority than other vehicles. Wether you drive a bicycle, car, or an ambule is irrelevant.
