  1. Imagine what a script kiddie would do with this on New Zealand Police Act Wiki Lets You Write the Law · · Score: 1

  2. Re:Excellent on New Zealand Police Act Wiki Lets You Write the Law · · Score: 1

    The more people, (generally) the better (IMO)

    At some point, you'll have to limit the number of participating nodes or you will clog the network with communication's overhead (AKA trying to keep everybody happy).

  3. Imagine the posibilities on The Gradual Public Awareness of the Might of Algorithms · · Score: 1

    Hookers will ring your door bell, carrying a 6-pack and a tinfoil hat. They were automagically delivered by Amazon, because it just knew that you wanted a hooker with a cool 6-pack right now. And the tinfoil hat because it also knew you were going to freak out when you knew that you are beign precognited with such accuracy.

  5. Wanting attention on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    Can we give her a Darwin Award medal of honor and move on to a more relevant subject, and so she stops desperately trying to get some public attention?

    Seriously, did you guys took a look at the t-shirt? ANY fuck1n' idiot knows that the airport security guys would see that as a bomb. Can't imagine how the hell did they not shot or tease her. Imagine being an airport officer and some guy/girl appears with a t-shirt with a strapped battery. Would you risk your life to ask him/her if that's a bomb or a geek tshirt?

    Just because she has the right to wear whatever she wants, doesn't mean she should exploit that privilege to annoy everybody, specially "armed everybody".

    Besides, there are much better ways to get attention. I don't know why she chose the dumbest one. She could have shown her tits or something.

  6. 3 days in a cybercafe??? on Another Man Dies After Marathon Gaming Session · · Score: 1

    3 days in a cyber cafe? Can you imagine the smell of that? What's strange in this news is that the other people left the cafe only after this guy died and not anytime before..

  7. Re:Plenty of Countries to Choose From on Big Brother Really Is Watching Us All · · Score: 1

    Believe me, it's the same 5h1t with different smell, or more politely said, it's a trade off. You get something but you lose something.

    In countries where:
    - You can pass a red light and there's no camera to catch you
    - You can invite your friends to an event with only 15 mins of anticipation and tehy'll be there
    - You can drive drunk without having harsh consequences if you get stopped by police
    - You don't live with fear of terrorism
    - Your country doesn't starts wars because of oil

    Happens that:
    -Police tries to get a bribe for anything they found wrong with your car
    -You live with fear of crime, if they get caught, they are released at the next day (bribe/bad procedures/etc)
    -Bars and discos don't have any security inspection at all (or they bribe them) so if a fire gets started, odd are everybody dies trying to get out reaching the small front door
    -Politics don't only act in favor of large (and foreign) corporations but they are way way way more corrupted.
    -Regarding technology, you are at least 5 years behind any decent country. No iPhone/google maps (forget the fancy driveby 360 photos, I'm talking about going from A to B directions) for you.
    -Economical instability: You don't even have an idea of how bad this is. No long term planning for anything.
    -During economical crisis: Not being able to take your OWN money from the banks whenever you want. You know it's your money, then why should they be able to do so, right? Well, they do. Kinda what's happening now in UK but multiplied by 100

    So, wherever you want to go, be sure that you'll lose something. There's nothing wrong with that, just know it will be that way and be sure you are OK with it.

  9. Fear on Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 2, Informative

    According to this article (note the .ru TLD) USA has a bigger bomb. It's funny how every state makes its population fear the other state.

  11. A woman won 30M due to software glitch on Our ATM Is Broken, Go To Jail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here in Argentina a woman won 30.000.000 in a slot machine, she took a pic with her cell phone of the machine saying so. The casino claimed that the machine was broken and that those machines don't offer that much money, 30.000 at most. So they offered her that amount. She is suing them. Now all slot machines are required to have a banner that states the maximum prize.

    Nobody ever heard of the slot programmer again...

  12. Re:Didn't touch gaming. Allow me. on Dearly Departed — Companies and Products That Didn't Make It · · Score: 1

    OMFG! I had my first network over serial cable with those games. Don't remember the names, there was a F1 and an air dogfight one. Not to mention countless hours on the F-119, F-15 and F-117.

    On the F117, you had to recognize the planes based on their manual prints as a way to prove you had the original game before it starts. That way I've learned the distinct forms of every available combat plane. I always thought that was a great way to protect their software as I've learned in the process. Eventually, I knew them all and didn't need the manual anymore, so it was very quick.

    Thanks for bringing up my childhood this on this morning.

    I'm not saying is easy, I'm saying that that's what we should be doing.
    Looking for the definition of empathy and why is that others hate us is a good start.

  16. Re:My assessment on First Robotic Drone Squadron Deployed · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's better to eliminate the other side (I'm sure nobody would retaliate in any way) than to reach understanding with them. Plus, understanding requires a constant flow of empathy, our precious non-renewable resource we are not willing to give away at any price, much less to a foreign party.

    That's the problem. MS would send lawyers demanding payment for the infringement, they will not be there to stop the bad guys, they'll just partner with them.

  20. My site was scanned the other day on Scanner Spots Open Source Installations · · Score: 1

    I've found logs for /myphpadmin and such on my domain logs. This could be used to exploit known vulnerabilities of installed open source packages, if I had any.

    Haven't RTFA, so I don't know for sure whether this scanner can be used on the open wild.

  21. Re:Facebook -- your Privacy online? on The Psychology of Facebook Examined · · Score: 1

    I get constant invitations to social networks from people I know, like trying to push me into them. Many of those sites even dare to ask my IM password, so I can "locate" friends already in the system. Can't believe people trust those sites better than a real person.
    Everyday there's a new one. Even delicious looks bad for me. But I guess denying them all would turn some alarms on too, so if you really want to get out of the system, you better go to live to a distant forest or something truly off line.
