  1. I remember this old Star Trek episode... on South Korea To Develop Army and Police Robots · · Score: 1

    where they had a computer simulation war going on between Vendekar and Eminiar where they fired simulated missile attacks against each other and every person who was in the virtual blast zone was ordered to report to a disintegration station.
    They saved a lot on buildings, equipment and military hardware and still got to kill millions of people. For some reason
    I think that solution will appeal to many of our so-called "Leaders".

    Here's a link to that Episodes plot...:

  2. Bad things happen to people who arm robots... on South Korea To Develop Army and Police Robots · · Score: 1

    Remember in Robocop where they present the new security robot in a meeting and
    it can't hear the person dropping the gun and just drones on: "You have five
    seconds to drop your weapon... five... four... three... " (insert panicky shrieks
    and screams in here with someone shouting "I dropped it! I dropped it!")
    "two... one... terminating target" (machine guns in both arms fire)

    As far as I'm concerned, arming a robot is like handing Microsoft windows a gun.
    Scary.

  3. Re:Sony's unintended consequences hurts them on Sony RootKit Still A Problem? · · Score: 1

    I'm just as impressed with you here, as I am with Robert K. Merton, as I am with his middle initial 'K'. If there was some way to moderate Merton down on his own site then I would do it because what you and he are saying is crap. Here's some real world analogy (unfortunately) you can maybe relate to a little better of what you and Bob are saying:

    1. Ignorance (We were just shooting at people, honestly sir, we didn't think anybody would get hurt)

    2. Error (I didn't know it was live ammo, hell if I had known...)

    3. Immediate interest (well we were bored and there was nothing on TV and we did have the key to the gun locker)

    4. Basic Values (Hey c'mon, we fired 200 rounds and just killed twenty people, give us a break here!)

    5. Shooting at people nearly always gets them hurt.

    I think by now you realize how patently dumb that is and that there can be no excuse whatsoever for Sony. For that matter there can't be any excuse for our government not to crack down hard and viciously on Sony for their sabotage.

    Regards

  4. OH SHIT! This had to happen someday. on Computers Top BBC List of Stress Producers · · Score: 1, Funny

    I somehow forgot to click on the post anonymously button. Now I'm caught redhanded posting a stupid story to slashdot. Oh well.. shit happens. In future I will make sure that I am not logged on to slashdot when I want to post anonymously, okay? Hey but you should have seen me jump up and yank the ethernet cable out of my machine... :-)

  5. Not really. This is what happened to me on tuesday on Computers Top BBC List of Stress Producers · · Score: -1, Troll

    Baerle was sent here for punishment and he hated every moment he had to spend in this hot hellhole. Every time he thought about Major Baumgartner sooner or later he would start trembling with hatred. He gripped the carbine he was holding tigther. Worthless monkey, I could have bitten off his head and spit out his worthless meat! he thought. I should have too. He's a nat-chew-ral, Baerle went on following the well-trodden path of his thoughts about Baumgartner, and I'm just a stupid an-neeeh-mal... and if the god he worships wanted an atrocity like me, he would have made created me from the beginning and since I am man's creation I was in the end made by Satan. Baerle snorted to himself marveling at the lack of logic and reason in the monkeys' religion. He thought to himself, once we Bears too start to genetic engineer sentients ourselves, would those beings be evil to those monkeys too? You want some honey bear..? Corp. Sean Taylor asked. Baerle ejected out of the cauldron of hatred that he harbored deep in his heart for Baumgartner turned around and replied gruffly... "Trade you for a banana, monkey?". This was an ongoing joke between man and uplifted bear. Sean was the only human Baerle got along with more or less. Sean was also the only human Baerle knew who got turned on by all the fur on Baerle. Baerle sighed, fighting down his inner demon of lust. I might not like them but I sure love that monkey dick in my ass.

  6. Re:Syrian Migs are worthless... here's why.. on The Skylab-Area 51 Incident · · Score: 1

    The domestic version is usually much better than the crap sold to shitheads. That's why if I were a shithead with a towel around my head I wouldn't buy anything american.

  7. Syrian Migs are worthless... here's why.. on The Skylab-Area 51 Incident · · Score: 1

    Yes. But you see... the Migs the Soviet Union sold to Middle East crackpots where in no way the same machines that defend the Motherland. For starters the export machines have a crippled electronics package, lower quality radar and I'm sure other parameters of the plane have also been considerably downgraded. Capturing these machines didn't tell the analysts much about what the real McCoy can do. This incidentally is why it is so extremely important for nations like India and China to develop their own weapon systems.

  8. If you think it's warranted report him to google!! on Mysterious MilkyWay Warp Finally Explained? · · Score: 1

    I just looked over his site http://www.george-harrison.info/ and it looks legitimate and not like a link farm. Just to be sure I went and looked at the site in the google cache, but it still looked okay to me. However there is a lot of upset here (and if you ask me: yes, there is definitely something fishy going on with ScuttleMonkey posting such a slew of * * Beatles-Beatles submissions) Maybe I am missing something here and in case he's guilty, this is where you report him: http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html To their credit Google takes these reports seriously and investigates them.

  9. Re:You're looking at the wrong culprit on Computers, Long Hours and Vision Problems? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's true you know. Now I can only guess at that there are a couple dozen people here writing the same thing but I am really too tired to check. Instead, with what little I have left to give, let me tell you one thing: Five hours of sleep over a lengthy period of time is not enough and you pay for it. My vision is pretty blurred right now and I have this immense fatigue right down in my sore bones. I slept two hours today, five yesterday and four the day before. My concentration is crap. I tried to do some pretty critical stuff this morning but I had to put it aside because I just couldn't concentrate on what I was doing. As someone who knows, I can tell you another thing: Sleep deprivation is the next best thing to smoking if you want to kill yourself slowly. I used to do both.

    Doctor's advice:

    Sleep.
    Don't smoke.
    Check your triglycerides.
    Have your postrate examined or get a mammogram. 5% of men need both, I kid you not (male breast cancer)
    Procreate more often (or at least go through the motions).

    $160 is a stiff price for a months worth of pen register, but once prices come down at some point the price

    Now I don't think Trump has to give you a billion dollars... at least you will have to sue him for it. But then I wouldn't aim that low myself... up to now SCO has only showed us that they can make preposterous claims in court, but the day they get away with it (though it will not happen in this universe) is the day I will sue the United States for the territory known as the State of California. I want it back.

  13. -1 because I wnt to be in charge of my phone? on 1" Hard Drives in Cellphones on the Rise · · Score: 1

    I don't usually whine but hey... whoever modded this down, one more time: what's the use of a phone with even a 100Gig hard drive when that is managed by DRM? The way phones are closed now it just opens a can of worms, for example How do I know they don't access the data on that drive over the air? I'm not saying anything here about the 10gig drive per se, as that is a good thing.

  14. What do I need a hard drive on my phone?? on 1" Hard Drives in Cellphones on the Rise · · Score: 1, Troll

    Since all phones are locked down DRM-wise why do I need a hard drive in them? Give me an open platform where I have complete access to the integrated phone and I'm interested. Not that anybody is going to especially when you look at providers like Verizon who go out of their way to cripple their customers phones instead.

    blind alleys nobody knows that they're good for?? (HE is A TOTAL NIGHTMARE, HE doesn't
    document, HE keeps the sources to himself, HE doesn't take dead code out...)

    What we need is the _simplest_ organism we can create. I think we are going to have a
    lot of fun coding with carbon, phosphorus, iron and oxygen and the way I see it
    this will definitely take us into this next century we just started.

    There is no need for encrypting the data to/from anything non-military in space, for example but not limited to the Hubble Space Observatory or all the interplanetary probes or sattellites like the Mars Global Surveyor. All that data could AND SHOULD be in plain text. The only thing to worry about is signing command and data packets to and from the devices so that nobody can trash them.

    I get pretty weird ideas when I hear that the comms between Earth and the Mars rover is fully encrypted. That's where I start wondering, what is it out in space trillions of miles away from here that I am not supposed to see (at least not right away)??!?!?!

  25. Sony/BMG: gleeful face kicks. on Sony Repents Over CD Debacle · · Score: 1

    Repenting (in the genuine sense) means dropping mentally to your knees and realizing what sort of an asshole you have been and then making amends to those you wronged, not because
    it is more profitable for you to do so, but because you can empathize with their pain and
    misery.

    I doubt that Sony, a soulless legal entity has the capacity for genuine repentance... nor do its legal guardians, the board of directors. They and the organization they are promoting gleefully kick you into your face forever for profit apologizing profusely between kicks.
