  1. Re:Don't buy the fracking TV's on Samsung SmartTV Customers Warned Personal Conversations May Be Recorded · · Score: 1

    It's an issue because the technology is pervasive throught multiple market segments with poor, or no, understanding of how to implement and maintain security.

  2. Chicken little? on Utah Cyberattacks, Up To 300 Million Per Day, May Be Aimed At NSA Facility · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a mid level IT manager needs an increase in his budget. Because, Hey, NSA!

  3. Re:Not selecting an AK47 on TP-82: The Gun Cosmonauts Carried On Space Missions · · Score: 1

    After spending a month on a space station your aim is for shit, and you just crash landed your ride. Now is NOT the time to go bird hunting. It is time, however, to break open the vodka and that emergency Fly Rod.

  4. The thing is... on New Chinese Regulations Require Real Name On Internet · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I can see that this could be a good thing. Easier to prosecute for copyright infringement. Chase Down "Evil Doers". But HOLY JESUS, does anyone think that this wont be absolutely, sordidly, abused?!?! Plus, sorry China, it really smacks of, "Where are you're papers?" and we all remember how swimingly that turned out. So. Moving along?

  5. Par for the course. on FAA Could Extend Property Rights On the Moon Through Regulation · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you live in the US, you're already used to this...

  6. Re:How about a shotgun? on White House Drone Incident Exposes Key Security Gap · · Score: 1

    This is a perfect application, sign me up!

  7. Hypothetically? on Police Organization Wants Cop-Spotting Dropped From Waze App · · Score: 2

    "...hypothetically, you use your Waze.'" Yeah. Let's start legislating everything that's "Hypothetically" possible. That sounds reasonable. + You can't speed around in obviously painted POLICE or SHERIFF vehicles with light bars spewing out Red and blue, and then complain about people knowing where you're at.

  8. pffft on US Lab Developing Technology For Space Traffic Control · · Score: 1

    With all the New tech concerning self guided this and that, is this really even a market? This really seems like spacex and google had a kid, and you wanted to pick a fight with him. Or her. But probably him.

  9. Re: "Rewarding" free software with non-free softwa on Valve Offers Free Subscription To Debian Developers: Paying It Forward · · Score: 1

    Nothing more than a nicely baited hook...

  10. of course on Google Says It Has "No Current Plans Regarding Bitcoin" · · Score: 2

    ... Because where's the money in bitcoin anymore? They're more concerned with Gcoin. You heard it here first.

  11. Re: Of course. on Snowden Is Lying, Say House Intelligence Committee Leaders · · Score: 1

    You're kidding yourself if you think this will ever see a courtroom that the public/press will have access to. My guess is an intelligence oversight committee, or a big dark bottomless pit. One thing is for sure, we're still not goingto know the full scope of PRISM no matter what happens.

  12. Re:Skils || Trades == Jobs on Bloomberg To HS Grads: Be a Plumber · · Score: 2

    A good welder is worth his wieght in gold... Having been a plumber for a number of years, you can make a pile of money in trades, because at some point in your life you will be presented with the situation that you will need somebody in the middle of the night to come to you to fix something. And that individual will cost hundreds of dollars an hour. And you will pay the bill gladly.

  13. Hello, may we have your liver? on Device Keeps Liver Alive Outside Body For 24 Hours · · Score: 1

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aclS1pGHp8o I mean, that's how I get all MY livers...

  14. Re:name change (let's suggest better names!) on New Pope Selected · · Score: 1

    I completely agree. I AM partial to "Gozar The Key Master", but hey, whatever. Now, on to more pressing matters: The Pope Mobile. I'm thinking more of a Rocket Powered, Monkey Driven, Batmobile type vehicle... alright fine, and it's white. But the monkey is drunk.

  15. Re:Thank goodness on Hockey Sticks Among Carry-On Items TSA Has Cleared For Planes · · Score: 2

    Can I assume you're not Canadien and didn't grow up playing hockey?

  16. Re:Let me get this straight on Hockey Sticks Among Carry-On Items TSA Has Cleared For Planes · · Score: 1

    Shampoo in the eyeball is no laughing matter... The water thing never made sense to me though, all that needs to be done is to have the passenger drink some. If they pass out- Ha, pioson. If not, carry on good citizen. Until next time...

  17. This is all a moot point... on Rand Paul Launches a Filibuster Against Drone Strikes On US Soil · · Score: 1

    When they decide the U.S. Drone Strike Information Center will be based in Kentucky. Maybe put another one in Utah. Then spread those Drone manufacturing and ordinance plants around.

  18. Re:It's things like this... on Discovery Increases Odds of Life On Europa · · Score: 1

    We don't need a man on the moon. We need Mankind on the moon. Specifically to mine HE3 and to be used as a launch site. I think that would be pretty cool.

  19. duh on Hit the Wrong Button, Drone Goes Boom · · Score: 1

    You think some armchair-pilot cares, that's cute. It's not like he/she is sitting in the cockpit. The reason why these are cheap is beacause the human element has been taken out (to train a pilot is around $2M last time I checked, and it's been a decade.) So yeah, they're gonna crash more than manned flights. Who cares? You want the pilot to care? Sitting his/her ass in a manned jet is the only sure way to make that happen, and yes, that's expensive. It's easier/cheaper to train a mechanic to unbox another drone and screw the wings on...

  20. Hand Hack on Bionic Hand Wired To Nerves Can "Feel" When Touched · · Score: 1

    "Why are you punching yourself?!" ...to a whole other level...

  21. A kid walks into a bar... on Ask Slashdot: Is the Bar Being Lowered At Universities? · · Score: 1

    My kid takes "computer science" classes in middle school. What they TEACH is typing... I think where ever the "bar" is, it's not even relevent anymore. Unless it's that one on the corner with the kick ass happy hour. That one rocks.
