  1. Also light can be used! on Researchers Develop System To Send Passwords, Keys Through Users' Bodies (onthewire.io) · · Score: 1

    Eat your password, wait a couple of hours, then OCR the output.

  2. Destroy Clinton's top aides... on FBI Agreed To Destroy Laptops of Clinton Aides With Immunity Deal, Sources Say (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    ...not laptops. Old hardware can still put into useful service.

  3. The D-Link DWR-932 case is very tight... on Researcher Find D-Link DWR-932 Router Is 'Chock Full of Holes' (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    ...so they had to place holes elsewhere for a proper CPU venting.

  4. Re:Learning from queue implementations in CS on Nissan Debuts 'ProPILOT' Self-Driving Chair (pcmag.com) · · Score: 2

    Don't know why, but I had a sudden vision of a hacker taking control of a bunch of self-driving chairs and shuffling them, organizing and manipolating them in all the ways allowed by STL. It would be very funny to look at, but not so pleasant being sitting into it...

  5. There are rumors that Samsung S8 will not catch fire: it will simply enter in orbit around the Earth by itself, beaming then off the Galaxy, thanks to its powerful Li-Ion engines...

  6. Re:I'll wait until the iPhone 9 on Apple's Next Year iPhone Won't Have the Home Button: NYTimes · · Score: 2

    iPhone 9 is obsolete. With iPhone 10 you don't ever get a telephone: you just transfer your money to Apple, and nothing else happens.

  7. The story about PING, what else ? on Slashdot Asks: What Are Your Favorite Technology Books and Novels? · · Score: 2

    Don't be fooled from the innocent aspect: as it has been pointed out by the first reviewer, this book gives through allegories a dramatized explaination of UNIX networking. Highly recommeded! This nice book has been reviewed here on Slashdot some time ago.

  8. SpaceX offered us a 99% discount! on SpaceX Finds a Customer For Its First Reused Rocket (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    We just have to fill up the rocket tanks with used fuel recycled from the exhaust nozzle of their last flight. There is no warranty on it, however.

  9. Elon can do better, with some help from above.

  10. Re:I don't get it on NanoRacks Plans To Turn Used Rocket Fuel Tanks Into Space Habitats (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Very easy: just apply the concepts that were behind the new economy boom in 2001 to today's space travel industry. Now sit down and wait for the crash...

  11. Re:Waste of money on Astronauts Successfully Install Parking Spot At ISS (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    It isn't: the parking spot costs 1 USD/hr to use, with 24h forfait available. With some careful advertising and by adding other amenities (it seems that a new location for the restaurant at the end of the universe will be opened there) NASA will soon get a good return from the investment.

  12. Are they serious ?!? on US Air Force Wants To Plasma Bomb The Sky To Improve Radio Communication (newscientist.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Given the size of ionosphere, the ionisation density and recombination rate, and the size of a micro satellite this project looks like trying to deplete Lake Tahoe with a teaspoon...

  13. "Captain, a giant flying USB memory stick would like to dock with our station . . . should we allow it?

    ISS > USB spacestick device not recognized: format ? (Y/N)

  14. All my linkedin profiles are filled up with counterfeited data, just like 99% of other user profiles.

  15. Not for people working with math! on Soylent Coffee: Nootropics, Fat, Carbs, Protein -- But Will It Give You The Toots? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    As Paul Erdos said: "A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems".
    I wonder what would come out after drinking Coffiest...

  16. Do they stop also ASCII art ?!? on Olympic Committee Prohibits Streaming Apps, Vines and GIFs From Its Events (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You can encode movies into ASCII animation, also 3D movies! I would love to see olimpic games on my old VT220 terminal...

  17. Please not another Pi-0 on A Smaller Version of Raspberry Pi 3 Is Coming Soon (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Having a very small size module that runs linux would be very interesting, however if it is made up with unobtanium rather than silicon, as is the case for the Raspberry PI-0, I will start looking for different platforms for my projects.

  18. It should be named 902, not 821 on Qualcomm's New Snapdragon 821 Is 10 Percent Faster Than the 820 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It is 10% faster, not just a mere 0.012%.

  19. Being an astronaut now becomes less attractive on First Water Clouds Reported Outside The Solar System (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 2

    You travel years all across the galaxy and, when eventually you go out of your spaceship, it rains!

  20. Re:Question on Historic Route 66 To Feature Solar Road Technology (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course, and the panels will be irradiated with vintage solar light, carefully bottled and preserved for so long time!

  21. Given the kind and quantity of junk food eaten by the average american, having FDA, CDC and EPA snooping from the smartphone into our lunches wouldn't be that bad, after all.

  22. When robots will detect ripe fruits, they will be advanced enough to eat them as well, leaving nothing to us!

  23. Oblig xkcd quote on Why Tech Support Is (Purposely) Unbearable · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tech support. Too bad it is just a dream.

  24. If you want to apply for a job at ULA on United Launch Alliance Plans For 1,000 People Working In Space By 2045 (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    there are some questions that should not be put in your resume, like:

    - Is telecommuting feasible ?
    - Can I keep the window of my office wide open ?
    etc.

  25. Re:soon to be anounced on Red Hat Exec Marries A Couple At Red Hat Summit (cio.com) · · Score: 2

    It seems that according to man(8), MarriageD after nine months spawns a child process, sometimes two.
