  1. Identity crisis on India Scans a Billion Irises In Interest of National Security (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    So lets just say some hacker is able to breach this system and steal all of their identities....Can we then in turn buy all of this information or the dark web? If so I am there, I'm so calling them and telling them they are late for payments.

    The scurvy is really what kills you there.

    Well depending on who I am sailing with, there sound be plenty of "fruit" to rectify that issue.

  3. So there is a way to save money and someone shuts it down? Go figure. Good thing I don't pay my taxes either.

  4. It's not google... on Google Building a 100kW Transmitter at Spaceport America (hackaday.com) · · Score: 0

    This is a huge conspiracy. This is in fact a cover up for the secret government using Google as a front. This new antenna will be used to contact the home planet of Blingblop. Currently the Blingbloppers have invaded earth and has established a secret government within the already established secret government that we already know about. Their plans are not to take over our world. It's to reorganize our government and to establish a new world currency to make the rich poor. This way the world will share all in one wealth. Google is simply a front to send communicay back and forth to the masters on Blingblop. Be prepared for when the world changes, you have been warned.

  5. DOUBLOONS on Bitcoin's Nightmare Scenario Has Come To Pass · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't it be easier to dig up a sunken ship with Golden Doubloons and use this as the accepted currency. Frankly I'd rather be a pirate that sails the seas, than one that pirates movies and music.

  6. Re:"life, limb or liberty" on German Police Allowed To Use Its Own "Federal Trojan" (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And given the fact that lots of governments are spying on you already, your liberty is threatened anyway.

    Can most people really complain about liberties? I just recently turned 30, I can see the liberties and right my parents had. I can see things were much better for them at my age. Now I look at what we currently have, and fear that they are infringing just a little to close. However at the same time I feel that we as a culture are starting to accept some of these abuses of power due to fear of "terrorism". So my real fear is for the future generations, what little rights will they have in 30 years from now? Will they even have any, will they just be completely desensitized to the situation and not even care about civil liberties anymore?

    It can help prevent infection and pregnancy.

    I'd be ok with an infection now and again. But the pregnancy, I'll pass on that. What about the STD's though, if your offering the clap...where can I sign up?

  8. Seriously, now what am I going to do with my lolicon collection...Anyone looking for a new source material?

  9. Re:Invest in a good mattress on It's Time To Kill the $100 Bill, Says Larry Summers · · Score: 1

    Yes; but what is the mattress for?

    Is it for quality sleep; or do you hide money underneath it, Inside it? Share with me your proposed strategy and I will consider it as a factor!

    The mattress needs to be filled with 100 dollar bills. This way it provides a wonderful sound sleep for the evenings, and if you have a lady of the evening over you only gotta reach in-between the sheets for payments. It is a win-win!

  10. Invest in a good mattress on It's Time To Kill the $100 Bill, Says Larry Summers · · Score: 1

    If anything is going to Kill the economy it's taking away money. I prefer to have large bills when I go to make a purchase. No lady of the evening is going to accept a roll of ones...I mean seriously how am I going to pay for my illicit activities? I not doing a line of coke with a dollar here, I need 100's or nothing!

  11. Re:Most people want convenience. on MasterCard Rolls Out 'Selfie' Verification For Mobile Payments (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    No, it won't, otherwise it would be (even more) useless. You'll have an app on the phone, which will upload the photo to Mastercard's servers for verification with a previously uploaded photo. And I don't know who are "the most" who allegedly use their fingerprints on their phones: did you count them one by one? I use a password, I have no intention to switch to fingerprint, and "the most" of those I know do the same.

    There could easily be a generational gap here. Most people I know use their fingerprints to unlock their mobile phones. I myself use Samsung pay for most of my transactions. It has my fingerprint registered on the phone and uses the record from the phone to authenticate that it me. What's wrong with that? it works just well and is more secure than a pin... So "the most" people that you know are they to crazy off the grid conspiracists or an older generation?

  12. Re:Most people want convenience. on MasterCard Rolls Out 'Selfie' Verification For Mobile Payments (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I am NOT going to give my credit card companies, nor bank my picture or fingerprints.

    They don't need it and I don't want them to have them.

    Fuck it, if they try to force this in the US, I'll cancel my cards and just do all cash...which I try to do more and more every day anyway.

    You did read the article right? It clearly says for Mobile payments. You know from like your phone. It will be housed on the phone, I how most use your fingerprint to unlock it. Why the sudden jumping of the grid conspiracy theory. Calm down man it's going to be on something you already use that has that information, no more no less.

  17. I don't get it on Storing Very Large Files On Amazon's Unlimited Cloud Photo Storage · · Score: 1

    Why are people griping about what this guy did? So he cheated the system. All of us here have cheated the system in one way or another. The real issue is that Amazon will now go back on it's work with the Unlimited photo storage. That's going to be the real problem, instead of them finding a way to prevent this and punish those that abuse the system. They just punish everyone instead. That seems like a useless learning lesson. This is just a vicious circle, as it happened with the unlimited 3G data until people tethered to it and ran up the data. Why not just find a solution to the problem instead of punishing everyone?

  18. Isn't this really just what America is all about? It's partly capitalism 101 and stealing from others. That's what America was built on, who are we to judge the methods of how one earns their living?

  19. I mean seriously haven't all of us been here at one point in time or another. I know about 6 years back I was working for a company that decided that everyone would get pay cuts, first 3.5 percent. Then an additional 10 percent two weeks before Christmas. They as far as the leadership teams went, they had to give up paid vacation time. Then the layoffs came. But why is it that the upper management didn't lose anything? It was just the little guys, the people that actually did the work and made money for the company gets screwed. It was shortly after that, that most of the talented people left. Shortly there after the company lost their contract with their main source. They company that pulled the contract cited you no longer have a skilled labor force to provide adequate support for our products. If the company would of restructured it upper management (which it did after it lost the contract) instead of just hitting the employees where it hurt. They might of been able to salvage their operation and kept the contract and it's employees.
