    Maybe just provide information about who it was who paid for the ad. There has always been bad information on the internet, it's just that now it's easier to hide the source. On usenet, if a particular poster was suspected of spreading bullshit, you could just killfile him. Allow the same on facebook.

  7. "There will be one currency, and bitcoin will be it"... Yeah, right. Just like there will be one spoken language, one written language, one form of government, one type of measurement, etc. All that will only happen if there is only ONE continent on this planet, and it's going to take a hell of a lot longer than 10 years.

  8. Re:In a word, yes! on Ask Slashdot: Were Developments In Technology More Exciting 30 Years Ago? · · Score: 1

    Things that were exciting 30 years ago:

    VESA Local Bus
    Transputers
    Lotus Notes

    Yeah, those all turned out to be amazing, didn't they?

  9. It doesn't affect the "battery life", but may affect the current battery charge. And, you can do your other operations while the computer is idle, therefore not affecting your current CPU usage.

    The McFly's of 2015 had several fax machines. Your in-laws are just waiting for that joke-fax from Needles.

    By the time you finish torrenting a linux distro, there is a new release!

    Even a raspberry pi requires a TV/monitor with an HDMI input, and a keyboard, and a mouse, and maybe speakers. It adds up.

  13. Wouldn't "Airplane Mode" do the same thing, you know, without carrying around a grounded metal cage?

  14. Re:Moral of the story on Man Fined For Implanting NFC Train Ticket In Hand (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I would argue that the chip *IS* the ticket. The rest of the card is just filler.

  15. It works both ways though. Does your country's leader make decisions contrary to common sense? Does he often get called out for just plain lying? Then his karma score is going to go through the floor!

  16. But at least we would know WHERE they are....

  17. OK, pass this bill. With law enforcement going to tech companies to get our info, I suspect that this would start a growing movement to bring servers in-house where every family runs their own server, and therefore controls their own privacy. Police will still need a search warrant signed by a judge to search your home. You can try to circumvent the constitution, but people will adapt.

    Maybe the DOJ will plea bargain down the charges if this guy indicates that the other execs knew about the breach before they sold their stocks.

    The movie "Garden State" has a very nice scene where a character walks into a store, picks up a piece of merchandise, and brings it to customer service for a return - no receipt. They give him cash.

    Unless allowing 3rd party manufacturers to make the adapters is a sign that their newest phone will have a 3.5mm jack, making the 3rd party adapters unneeded...

    Cubesats are pretty small. These satellites look to be about the same size as those. Also, with the antennas deployed, they are way larger.
