  1. Why land at all? It could hover in front of a window (e.g. outside the 20th floor in a highrise) and you grab the goods off of it.

  2. Re:No thank you on Critics Say It's Time To Close La Guardia Airport · · Score: 1

    One day we had a nasty tail wind, so the pilot had to gun the engines as we were making the turn onto the runway to get enough speed - something I've never seen anyone do before.

    I think that happens maybe 5% of the flights I'm on, in various airports.

  3. Copenhagen Airport's doing it with Bluetooth on Austin Airport Tracks Cell Phones To Measure Security Line Wait · · Score: 2

    In Copenhagen Airport, passengers have been tracked using Bluetooth for some years. The visible difference for the customers is a display that shows the security waiting time in minutes.

  4. Re:Now on the No-Fly list... on Prankster Calls NSA To Restore Deleted E-mail · · Score: 1

    I wonder how this scenario would go;

    "Hello, NSA. Ma'm, my name is , I'll be flying in to LAX on Sep 16 and just wanted to see if this very call would put me on the no-fly list or otherwise bring me in for questioning. You could say this is some kind of media stunt. Thanks, see you, bye!"

  5. Re:Brilliant? on Snowden Spoofed Top Officials' Identity To Mine NSA Secrets · · Score: 1

    It gives you a root shell, without having to enter the root password (like sudo -s). Same number of keystrokes. You could argue that you are spawning one process more than is necessary, but, then again, you would just be anal.

  6. Right, "Sports". on OmniCam360 Camera Cluster Lets You Choose the Viewing Angle · · Score: 1

    It's for sports.

  7. “Researcher” posts video of Apple intr on Apple: Developer Site Targeted In Security Attack, Still Down · · Score: 1

    “Researcher” posts video of Apple intrusion, with user data in the video [2:50]: http://youtube.com/watch?v=q000_EOWy80

  8. Re:If it were your kid... on Pre-Dawn Wireless Emergency Alert Wakes Up NYC · · Score: 1

    I have many interests of my own, too, sure. Doesn't mean anyone else should care.

  9. Re:Turn the tables... on ACLU Study Says Police Cameras Create Database of Our Movements · · Score: 1

    Then someone better make a system based on a peer-to-peer basis, like the Bitcoin blockchain.

  10. Re:Why the hurry? on How One Drunk Driver Sent My Company To the Cloud · · Score: 1

    The Gambler's fallacy, or Monte Carlo fallacy.

  11. Re:There is a better game idea on kickstarter on SimCity 5: How Not To Design a Single Player Game · · Score: 1

    I'd like to draw some attention to Train Fever: http://www.train-fever.com/ which also is to be supported by crowdfunding. This is one game I'd really like to see happen!

  12. Re:Double dipping on Austrian Blank Media Tax May Expand To Include Cloud Storage · · Score: 1

    More like triple dipping, since you'd also pay for the music when buying it in the music shoppe.

  13. Re:Is it working now? on GhostShell Hackers Release Data From Exploiting NASA, FBI, ESA · · Score: 2

    Which problems were you encountering?

  14. Re:But I value my own life over the lives of other on How Do We Program Moral Machines? · · Score: 1

    (And you can improve this score by purchasing extra "insurances").

  15. Detection is nice, auto-patching leads to trouble on Hosting Provider Automatically Fixes Vulnerabilities In Customers' Websites · · Score: 1

    We do the same where I work (detection part only), but wouldn't touch customer data. So the most we can do is warn the customers.

  16. Not too expensive, this decoding software of theirs.

  17. Measurable with WebGL ? = The hyper-supercookie! on Graphics Cards: the Future of Online Authentication? · · Score: 1

    I wonder how to measure this data, though!

  18. Re:In metric (for the rest of the world) on Texas Opens Fastest US Highway With 85 MPH Limit · · Score: 1

    85mph = ~136.8km/h (motorways in Italy, among other countries, have speed limits of 130km/h)

    although, however, "Legal provisions allow operators to set the limit to 150 km/h (93 mph) on their concessions on a voluntary basis if these conditions are met: three lanes in each direction and a working SICVE, or Safety Tutor, speed-camera system." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autostrade_of_Italy

  19. Contradiction!? on Facebook Forming a PAC · · Score: 1

    The summary mentions that Facebook is forming a PAC, and that it already IS a Palo Alto Company??

  20. Moon infrastructure on Domino's Plans Pizza On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Do you think there will really be separate buildings like that on the moon, rather than indoor interconnected complexes?

    Would save a lot of decompression chambers, etc. Or why not make a tube system for transportation of goods (and internet packets) while you are at it!

  21. 2003 "Aprils Fools'" Joke Becoming Real? on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    Seems like MS will not let go of their old ideas :)

    http://www.zdnet.com/news/microsoft-flushes-out-iloo-gag/129298

  22. Re:Wow on Stuxnet Worm Infected Industrial Control Systems · · Score: 2, Funny
  23. Re:The return of the documents... on Pentagon Demands Return of Leaked Afghanistan Documents · · Score: 1

    OH! Joke already done, sorry for dupe

  24. Re:The return of the documents... on Pentagon Demands Return of Leaked Afghanistan Documents · · Score: 1
  25. Re:people still play that shit? on Second Life Tries To Backpedal On the GPL · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Second Life is a good research project (or playground if you will) for whenever we will be able to hook computers up to our brains and map all sensory inputs and outputs to a virtual 3D world (matrix-style). Then the actual world you'd live in will be ready. I just hope that things be quite different from SL by then :)
