  1. Re:you're a complete idiot on Philips Develops Roadside Drug-Testing Device · · Score: 1

    Yeah well, I see your point. One must cater to the unbelievers.

    However, my question still is valid because it might just be the case that texting while you are driving is way, way more dangerous than DWH (Driving When High).

    We just don't know.

    Now, should it be illegal to drive while high? Yes it should, and that should be enforced.

    Is it dangerous to drive while high: it most certaintly is, for the consumer and other people.

    However, it just might be the case that most of us would be surprised if the risk of accident while high driving is actually less than some other, perfectly legal activities while driving (like using your iphone directly, while driving, instead of using a proper bluetooth device to make it safe by having the display and controls at the wheel)

    It is profitable to the beaurocrats on the take from the construction companies and private operators of jails.

    So yes, the government (or its employees: the line is blurry there, you see?), has a strong incentive to keep pointlessly criminalizing the population (in the world, not just the US).

    "and i also think marijuana should be completely legal, but do i want someone stoned driving? do YOU want someone stoned driving?"

    If you will provide ONE, only ONE, just ONE case where it has been proven that a mild dose of pot caused an accident in the ABSENCE of alcohol and other drugs, then Ill agree with what you are saying.

  13. This is the most on Apple Says iPhone Jailbreaking Could Hurt Cell Towers · · Score: 1

    Stupid rant of ignorant bulshit Ive ever heard since the release of Office SP3 with "oo.o" "support" that doesn't support crap.

    Ok... if im a big bad hacker, you assholes, Id go through a couple of perfectly legal sites where I can make my own mini-netbook with an array of 3g chipsets and some real power and antena (not the little shit that the iphone is in that department) and perfectly fuck up the network using that, not a 400 usd piece of crap that is very nice for me as a bussiness person (im an iPhone user), but as a cracker, that shit is worthless with or without jailbreaking.

    What they are saying, essencially, is that the telcos have their head up their butt and never actually learned anything from the first cracks of the 80's and 70's against Unix switches.

    One wouldve thought they learned to not trust by default or use security through obscurity. If they havent, and still charge the rates they do, then it serves them well to be fubared by pimply girls with pink iphones.

  20. A solution in search of a problem? on New Binary Diffing Algorithm Announced By Google · · Score: 1

    I mean, whats the need, really?

    Cant we all be merry and unixize our minds and think: hey, all components of the sw are files, lets just separate the heavy parts that are less prone to any security issue (GUI), from all the libs and executables, and lets just send those through the wire as a package....

    We do that in linux and it works(TM): we package everything, have dependencies and then only update what needs to be updated without weird binary patching.

    Now, not to say that its not usefull to have a new bindiff algorithm: lets plug it into git and svn, a specialized switch (--Gelf-exec-compression) in rsync also comes to mind, and that should make them more powerfull and all...
