  1. If it can be consumed, it'll be hacked. The DRM movement is misguided.... Give people the stuff they want the way they want to get it... Profits will result if the price is reasonable, simple... Make it difficult for the consumer so that piracy is the "easier" option and see what people go for!

  2. Digital justice invocation on Malvertising Up By Over 200% · · Score: 1

    When the culprits are found, remove their digits via guillotine. If that doesn't persuade, remove thy arm... Problem solved the digital way! ; )

  3. Electron-hole recombination! What's new? on Static Electricity Defies Simple Explanation · · Score: 1

    Who paid for this study! Electric charges are extremely well understood, have been for nearly a hundred years! Charge builds, electrons jump energy bands and recombine with the holes in the electron cloud thus emitting photons. Simple. The researchers didn't measure the feild strength properly, nothing to see here keep moving.

  4. Their cavemen! Most "terrorists" are just mentally unstable children, but we need a multi-trillion dollar defense structure to deal with it? We've given up how many rights? How about just sending in some freakin social workers and stop pissing them off? Then the problem could go away and our taxes could be cut! Please find another political topic and way for defense contractors to collect profits, this is boring already... Thanks.

  5. 3 laws OS on US Navy Wants Smart Robots With Morals, Ethics · · Score: 1

    Sorry, had to say it. ; )

  6. Unplug; or be controlled as a human algorithm... on The Big Biz of Spying On Little Kids · · Score: 1

    The only choice you have to avoid it is unplug or counterintelligence, feed the wire-tappers false info! I'm sure that will be illegal at some point too... I guess it's open season for spying on congress and CEOs. Say goodbye to the world as you know it! Hello super-corruption. It's the culmination of all things we shed blood over in the twentieth century, think about it. Like having J. Edgar Hover amplified 6 orders of magnitude mixed with the hell of east-Berlin and corrupted African dictatorships all rolled into one... Yippee!

  7. Flat-earther, nope! Greedy. on Wyoming Is First State To Reject Science Standards Over Climate Change · · Score: 1

    The greedy have been leading the flat-earthers by the nose for centuries, but the good news is that the gullible populous is dwindling each year. Education, knowledge and commonsense is winning the war on Ignorance. But hey, pillaging the publics natural resources for a quick easy buck, especially when those valuable resources are guarded by flat-earthers; all too easy.

  8. The force is strong with this one! on Luke Prosthetic Arm Approved By FDA · · Score: 1

    Gotta love it!

  9. It's America, be a good consumer! on Shunting the FCC To the Slow Lane · · Score: 1

    Don't hate the fact that we are capitalists! The point of which is to take every last dollar you have while giving as little in return as possible! Now that government is also more involved in playing the for profit game than ever, just makes us more capitalist. It's a good thing to have laws and people with guns force you to do business with them; or else! Vehicle and health insurance government rent ( property TAX ) are only the beginning. Big-Data (spy corp), Big-Oil, Big-Agra, Big-MegaCorp, Too-Big-To-Fail-Bank, Big-GOVT and so on... All great things! We are blessed to have such an insanely doomed future in store! Figting it only slows the eventual end game; global revolution via 7 thousand million really pissed-off people will be the outcome though... That will be a fairly bad day to be an elite member of the planet, but like I said there's no explaining it to the powers that be, their much too smart and prepared for that, history is an MFer...

  10. Been there done that! on Physicists Turn 8MP Smartphone Camera Into a Quantum Random Number Generator · · Score: 1

    I've had a CMOS imager noise gen for 5+ years! This is not new, I'll bet I wasn't the first to relize random image noise either? I made this discovery in an attempt to remove the noise with an algorithm. Also photon emission is not the best source! Random, sure, but will pile up in patterns so... Cosmic rays and background radiation are far better, impossible -or- at best highly impractical to remove from images, hence impossible to predict. Random number gens have been perfected for some time now? No? Crypto doesn't work if someone sees the data before or after its encoded! Obviously.

  11. Self hosted, cool... on New Apache Allura Project For Project Development Hosting · · Score: 1

    "The Allura project is self-hosted on an instance of Allura" What a deal!

  12. This is the basic position a pseudo-skeptic like y on UN Report: Climate Changes Overwhelming · · Score: 0

    Haha, you can't teach a fool! There will always be people that just don't get it. Most have been mind poisoned by the Koch bros, and of that lot, some believe the earth is flat and only 6k years old. Why bother debating with them. The concerning thing is that the brainwashed do not realize their condition. The evidence, even for laymen is beyond reproach at this point.

  13. Re: You are an idiot. on Charter Challenges Comcast/Time Warner Merger · · Score: 1

    Tell that to google, they are trying to lay fiber wherever thay can. The problem isn't economics, it's willpower, why would you want to dissolve your monopoly position into a competitive one? The monopoly companies are behind the crazy regulations and terriffs, it creates a substantial impedance to competition, plain and simple. Not to mention government wanting to keep communication channels in their control for obvious reasons. One hand washes the other and the consumer gets screwed as a result.

  14. Re: Good luck with that home page on Yahoo May Build Its Own YouTube · · Score: 1

    You've actually been their, so your the one, interesting! I was imagining it was only used by the elderly who adopted it in the 90s... Go figure.

  15. Re: Finally on UK To Finally Legalize Ripping CDs and DVDs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's not like it wasn't happening already for personal use. It was un-enforceable on a personal level anyway. Nice to see some common sense in laws for a change. The industry has been continually shooting themselves in the foot by not embracing new tech in a consumer friendly way.
