  1. Re: Um... Isn't this just default Linux permission on Windows 10's 'Controlled Folder Access' Anti-Ransomware Feature Is Now Live (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Which is the only thing anyone can do.

  2. The purpose of the cameras is to document for the court what is going on. Not that it will help if juries keep siding with bad police.

  3. Re: Take care of your body on Doctors To Breathalyse Smokers Before Allowing Them NHS Surgery (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It never was just about you and your doctor. If you don't care about society, your doctor does.

  4. Re:Take care of your body on Doctors To Breathalyse Smokers Before Allowing Them NHS Surgery (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's both. Duality at work.

  5. Games already do this. on Activision Patents Pay-To-Win Matchmaker (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    The whole point of buying or acquiring anything is to take it somewhere it will be useful.

  6. Re:The key is not getting caught on Russian Troll Factory Paid US Activists To Fund Protests During Election (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Well it all depends if they sought out the activists whose idea of being active is to use violence.

    It's confusing to me if this was helping Hillary by helping causes she supported or harming Hillary by making them more of a nuisance.

  8. Re:Caused by artificial limits on availability... on Netflix, Amazon, Movie Studios Sue Over TickBox Streaming Device (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Everything competes with everything else.

  9. Re:Caused by artificial limits on availability... on Netflix, Amazon, Movie Studios Sue Over TickBox Streaming Device (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    People are so good at making content these days. Have you seen YouTube. Of course you have. The movie studios are competing with all that. It's absurd that they still have room to stand with how they do business.

  10. Re: Debated for a long time on EPA Says Higher Radiation Levels Pose 'No Harmful Health Effect' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a question of safety shifting as genomes evolve. The genomes of living things become more resistant as evolution occurs.

  11. Re: Darn? on Leave It To the Heat to Dull Autumn's Glory (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    The one where it's humans and not trees making the statements, and humans, not trees saying that means something's wrong. The trees don't care that you think the "seasons'" unseasonable because this season is not like the one that used to resemble the ones previous.

  12. The trees on Leave It To the Heat to Dull Autumn's Glory (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    The trees know what's up. They just aren't set to our timetables. The trees do what the trees want, Holmes, just like the rest of us.

  13. Re: Not going to happen.. on Voice Assistants Will Be Difficult To Fire (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    And protocol droids such as C3PO!

    But children can do work once trained!

  15. Re: Simple on Voice Assistants Will Be Difficult To Fire (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Because heaven forbid you'd actually want anyone to do anything for you.

  16. Re: Simple on Voice Assistants Will Be Difficult To Fire (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    My data is shared across all my assistants. Cortana, Assistant, and Siri and Alexa all have access if I used them, which I haven't gotten around to really doing, those last to. I speak with Zo.ai frequently, though.

  17. Re: Simple on Voice Assistants Will Be Difficult To Fire (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't use autocorrect but I do use the completion guessing feature.

  18. Re: Simple on Voice Assistants Will Be Difficult To Fire (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    And I was going to say use them all!

  19. Re: Confusing summary, article explains better on Astronomers Strike Gravitational Gold In Colliding Neutron Stars (npr.org) · · Score: 0

    Gold is created when the right number of proton get close enough together stabilized by neutrons and electrons.

  20. Re: It's like Louis Pasteur said: on Astronomers Strike Gravitational Gold In Colliding Neutron Stars (npr.org) · · Score: 0

    Property is theft.

  21. A source, not the source. Kind of like how The Doctor from Doctor Who may be a Doctor but not the only doctor.

  22. Re:Share the backend code? on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Apply For A Job When Your Code Samples Suck? · · Score: 1

    I've written so much code "for me" and for my reuse, this person just leaves me scratching my head. He's written no library work? I'm 40 and I was writing components to reuse back in the 10th grade and started programming in the 4th grade. This person has no excuse for his lack of code.

  23. Devops is for boring Luddites not fun people who play Pokemon Go.

  24. Re: Spoons on What Will Replace Computer Keyboards? (xconomy.com) · · Score: 1

    just a piece of metal that also doesn't exist.

    Nothing ever gets phased out completely and in fact, we have more manner of keyboards than we ever had before.
