  1. Welcome to the Matrix, Neo. on Developer Of Anonymous Tor Software Dodges FBI, Leaves US (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Agent Smith would like to have a word with you. In person.

  2. Re: LOL on MPAA Wants ISPs to Disconnect Persistent Pirates (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    So do you pay for it if it turns out to be good?

  3. Re:night inclement weather on Ford Tests Its Self-Driving Car In Total Darkness Using LiDAR Tech (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    I imagine people in your climate are viewed as edge-cases, despite the millions of you. An electrically heated windshield (and other surfaces), however, could probably prevent ice buildup. What I'm curious about is how clean the sensors have to be kept. Will one strategically placed bird shit or bug splat cause my car to do something unpredictable?

  4. Cat and mouse game on US Army Developing Encrypted Radar Waveform (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Radar detectors would have to adopt Counter LPI/LPD techniques, which apparently do exist:

    There's a book on Amazon called "Detecting and Classifying Low Probability of Intercept Radar".

  5. Re:Let's just nip this in the bud right now on A New Reality For IT: the 18-Month Org Chart · · Score: 1

    The people who just want to point at some certificate or put jargon on their resume are welcome to go talk to the government. I hear they pay pretty well, if you can avoid committing suicide from the institutionalization.

    God, this is so true.

  6. Re: PHP is a security vulnerability! on Timeline Of Events: Linux Mint Website Hack That Distributed Malicious ISOs (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Respected how? Usability? Ok, fine. But did you know pfSense runs PHP as root? Not something I would expect from a security appliance. Fortunately the head of the project publicly acknowledged this and is planning a new architecure, i.e., one without PHP.

  7. Re:Good for Tesla! on Elon Musk Cancels Stewart Alsop's Tesla Order Over Complaints About Launch Event · · Score: 1

    In your title, if you replaced "Tesla" with "Comcast", I'm wondering if your comment would be as popular.

  8. Re:Ksplice really is not new on Oracle Brings Real-Time Kernel Patching To Oracle Enterprise Linux · · Score: 2

    Also as I RTFA, SELinux does not yet work with an Oracle DB.

    Are you sure about that?

  9. Re: Municipal WiFi was such a success on Marco Rubio and Other Senators Move To Block Municipal Broadband (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    No surprise. Large institutions with insufficient competition often breed a culture of waste and inefficiency. There's one exception: regardless of the inconvenience it would cause, I can always drop my telco.

  10. Re: Municipal WiFi was such a success on Marco Rubio and Other Senators Move To Block Municipal Broadband (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    Pretty much in every area where the objective isnt to abuse and wring money out of people.

    Ever work with a Federal agency with lots of money and full of people engaged in empire building? It's a shame you don't see that bill. Oh wait, you do!

  11. Your hypothetical is nonsense but just to be safe we should install microphones in everybody's homes and record from them all the time.

    That's silly. Your smartphone's mic does the job perfectly fine.

  12. Good news, granny! on Harvard Prof. Says Cure For Aging Could Emerge Within 5 Years (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Aging has been cured. You'll be 95 years old forever!

  13. Re:Facebook privacy on Saying "Wasted" On Facebook Can Affect Your Credit Score (ajc.com) · · Score: 1

    B2B web service API. GetAllWastedUsers().

  14. I'm not saying it's science... but it's science.

  15. Re:first poop on The Most Disruptive Technology of the Last 100 Years Isn't What You Think · · Score: 1

    splinter free toilet tissue.

    Not sure which is more awful, taking chances with splinters or living in Roman times and having to use a brine-soaked sponge that was fastened to a stick and used communally.

  16. Re:Drunks don't make the best decisions on Live-Streaming Florida Woman Charged With Drunken Driving · · Score: 1

    In some states, refusal has other consequences. In Virginia, for example, refusal will result in having your license suspended for a minimum of one year.

  17. Re:They didn't deny it happened, just that it was on Danish Bank Leaves Server In Debug Mode, Exposes Sensitive Data In JS Comments · · Score: 1

    We investigated your report immediately. However, the data you saw was not real customer sessions or data – just some debug information.

  18. Re:What interface ? on Japan Display Squeezes 8K Resolution Into 17-inch LCD, Cracks 510 PPI At 120Hz · · Score: 1

    superMHL

    The six lane version supports 8Kp @120Hz and 4:2:0 36-bit color

  19. Re: apple? on Documents Indicate Apple Is Building a Self-Driving Car · · Score: 1

    It's not one giant button. It's two. And they're shaped like boobies because that's that most intuitive interface. Though how you use them to change direction is still a work in progress.

  20. Re:Oh please, not another law for them to ignore on US Lawmakers Demand Federal Encryption Requirements After OPM Hack · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding me?! Who's in charge over there, a 12yr old? "If you don't give me more money, I'm going to continue to collect all this PII and not store it in a secure manner".

  21. Re:One word summary. on Writer: "Why I Defaulted On My Student Loans" · · Score: 1

    I don't have a problem with the fact that you might have to work at Starbucks after getting an art history degree.

    You seem well-intentioned, but I think if you were to tell that to the guy behind the counter, there's a chance he'd snap. No amount of latte art would make him feel better about his choices.

  22. Re:Do you mean "Internet Products", right ? on Report: Internet Users Feel Powerless To Protect Their Privacy From Corporations · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who thinks about this whenever the doctor's office requires a signature that says they can disclose information with certain third parties?

    I mean, it's not like they're sharing my info with some sleazy marketing company (right??). Regardless, I usually freeze up a bit at the front desk and wonder "WTF does this entitle you to do??!".

  23. Re:DON'T PUT PICTURES OF YOUR COCK ONLINE! on Report: Internet Users Feel Powerless To Protect Their Privacy From Corporations · · Score: 1

    Probably doesn't hurt to regularly update one's host file with a blacklist. The one I've been using is this:
