  1. Turning on a stingray requires active cooperation with the cell provider. So, there is no back door there.

    Excellent.

    I understood it just fine.

    "Obama incentivized atomic power as part of his energy policy. I used to be a republican 4 decades ago, this could bring the two major parties together and defuse climate change debates. Bonus: defunding big oil"

  6. By the way, partial birth abortions, which Hillary Clinton said in the debate she wants to legalize, involves killing the baby AFTER the mother has given birth.

    I'm actually curious, is there any truth to this? Sounds horrific, but I wouldn't be surprised at this point.

  7. Like the moron I saw trying to ride his bicycle down I-5 in downtown Portland during rush hour the other day...

    I hate those people, but then again there are several areas where he was probably going faster than the traffic.

    Nothing like going 5mph in a 70 zone for miles and miles without AC.

    Those are two of my favorites, I need to rewatch these again. Not sure about that last scene, it's been a few years since I've seen it.

  9. This is something I've been toying with since we started talking about self driving cars.

    I can already imagine a mugger or carjacker calmly walking infront of cars, knowing the car won't allow him to be run over.

    What out of pocket maximum?

    The plan my parents have, for example, has an extremely high deductable along with the fine print stating that even if you get injured and pay the deductable, you're still on the hook for 30â... of the medical bill.

    They also don't cover a number of other necessary things. $350 a month doesn't get you fuck all.

  12. fucking neato on Proud Cyborg Athletes Compete In The World's First Cybathlon (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Advanced prosthetics, exoskeletons and other transhumanist type things always get me excited. The next step beyond controlling machines to surpass our limitations is to (partially) become one.

    Nice to see people who once had no hope of walking again (or any number of things) be able to give the finger to reality and do it anyways.

    When seeking money, they tend to seek out people with more money. More news at 11:00.

    To avoid legal complications, claim it is just a coincidence. Or blame Russian hackers toying with the battery firmware.

    So unless you happen to have a picture of your drive formatting or a picture including both your TV and PS3 (And also somehow proving you don't have a desktop hooked up back there), you don't get jack shit.

    So, a handful of people will be getting $55. Great job guys.

    I hope they all die soon, preferably in fires created by the people they've been enslaving.

    Agreed. Hopefully they meet a similar fate as their captured combatants. As terrible as it is, they got pretty creative with horrifying executions. I wonder if I'll see a video of their own "methods" being used on them.

    Could we just ban ads already for once and for all instead of allowing them to visually pollute our physical and virtual places.

    Ever see the movie Branded?

  21. No surprise here. on ISIS Is Using Exploding Consumer Drones To Kill Enemy Fighters (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I've been wondering when they would start using unmanned suicide drones. Is this because they've gotten smart or they started valuing their own fighters lives over the cost of a consumer quadcopter?

    But game developers seem to struggle a lot at distributing the world load among multiple threads, making many games terribly CPU bottlenecked.

    The shitty realization that owning an i5 @ 4.5ghz doesn't mean fuck all if the game is locked to one core constantly pegged at 100% usage. At least it was free.

    Interesting post. I'll assume the knave is clinton and the fool is trump for this post.

    One of the reasons I would prefer trump is accountability. Hear me out.

    I know damn well that if trump made a mistake as president, the media would not hesitate to nail his ass to the wall, and impeach him if possible. Clinton, not so much.
