  1. In order to preserve the raw footage, the original frames are then re-encoded via steganographic techniques into the final amended output.

    I'm confused. If you want to keep the original, why not just keep it somewhere else rather than jumping through hoops and potentially bringing its authenticity into question?

  2. Re:Unsurprising, really on Americans Show 'Surprising Willingness' To Accept Internet Surveillance (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd be tempted to sell him a filter. An old picture frame and some sort of mesh. Attach a usb cable "so it's earthed".

    What's 200 bucks compared to peace of mind?

  3. Senior illiterate moron on Interviews: John McAfee Answers Your Questions About His Presidential Bid · · Score: 1

    He flaunted US bankruptcy laws for personal gain

    As Marilyn Boop (or was it Betty Monroe) said, if you've got it, flout it.

  4. He did it himself on Feds Looking Into Reports CIA Director's Email Was Hacked (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    If anyone's hacking the CIA, it's probably the FBI. Assuming that the CIA rate above a milliholmes[1], they're probably aware of this and are counter-hacking the FBI.

    Conclusion: He hactually acked himself, the dozy cunt.

    [1] SI unit of having a clue

  5. You learn something new every day. Until now I never knew that sarcastic comments within the context of a movie counted as actual documentary evidence of historical fact.

    Thanks, slashdot! And damn the naysayers!

  6. Re:You know how much you will pay before you on Getting Over Getting Over Uber: Tim O'Reilly Does the Math · · Score: 1

    If you're using the literal present tense, nothing.

    After Uber have undercut the taxi firms and put them all out of business, the answer should be obvious.

    You have laid out the principals

    In my day, if we punched the headmaster unconscious we got at least a week's suspension.

    Right. Because apparent intentions and real intentions are always identical.

  9. Re:Are there jobs available? on More Tech, STEM Workers Voluntarily Quitting Their Jobs (dice.com) · · Score: 2

    Some people seem to think there are no jobs available

    Those people are called applicants. They think there are no jobs available because they get rejected for not having 5 years' of experience in something that's only existed for 3 weeks, and out of embedded C, playing the ukulele and commanding a submarine they've only done two of them.

    and some people seem to think there are positions that can't be filled.

    Those people are called fucking retarded HR twats. They think there are no suitable candidates available because nobody has 5 years' experience in something that's only existed for 3 weeks, nobody has experience in all of embedded C, playing the ukulele and commanding a submarine, and if anyone did there's 92% chance they'd be the wrong star sign.

  10. Re:so, Pluto is a "World" but not a planet? on NASA Returns Images of Frozen Worlds Enceladus and Pluto (nasa.gov) · · Score: 1

    It's the astronomical equivalent of a girl referring to you as "a friend".

  11. Faeces coming from a non gender specific bovine on Fullstack Launches Coding School For Women (sdtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    it seems peculiar that an industry revolutionized by a pioneer like Grace Hopper would remain so divided along gender lines

    Does it seem peculiar that a branch of physics revolutionized by a pioneer like Marie Curie would remain so divided along gender lines?

    What an utter load of bollocks. Or if you prefer, in the spirit of inclusivity, gonads.

    Is that one of those spinoffs with adverts? Anyway, no. I get BBC1 & 2, exactly as in the UK, except with the time wrong.

  13. Re:Maybe a better way? on BBC Begins Blocking VPN Access To iPlayer (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm outside the UK but I pay for the BBC. Not through the licence fee, but (I presume) they don't give it to my cable provider for nothing.

    Why don't you set a restore point? Then if an update borks it you can roll it back.

  21. Re:Heck of a Mistake! on Windows 10 Upgrades Are Being Forced On Some Users (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    The "bsod per day" craptitude is one thing. But you could make a case that intentionally forcing an unwanted update is on another level entirely. Wilful interference, misuse, sabotage etc - the terminology varies from place to place but it's the same thing.

    I don't think any EULA that tried to exclude malice would be worth the paper it's printed on.

    But IANAL.

    Exactly. Just because their stores are dingy and full of ugly people the hipsters assume they can't possibly be technically sophisticated behind the scenes.

    Well it would be stupid to do it the other way round - once the fire starts there'll be nobody there to see the warning.
