  1. Re:Not really... on U.S. Army Robots Break Asimov's First Law · · Score: 1

    Just about anything can be programmed given sufficient time and money. I suspect that when we need some sort of robotic laws, the technology will arise to implement them.

    What our government is obtaining from Chinese computers would be a far more interesting story. Never give a sucker an even break- William Charles Fields

    As soon as two people know a secret, it isn't.

  5. Re:Sounds good on E-Tracking May Change the Way You Drive · · Score: 1

    I'll never understand why people who state that they're 'not guilty of anything' don't realize that authority can stop you for anything from mopery through treason on a whim or substandard evidence. Why make it any easier for them?

  7. Re:Bacteria + Windows = Nightmare on Bacteria Made to Behave as Computers · · Score: 1

    It goes without saying that Microsoft's Strep 5000 OS will go flesh eating when hacked.

    I think there's an error in your analysis. If you break off a node (man and woman) from the population tree, you not only remove 2 people, but n generations. thereby slowing the rate of increase. Don't ask me about where's a measurable change, I have trouble counting to 21 without dropping my pants.

  9. Re:Employees can play this game too. on Network Penetration Scans and Executive Reaction? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm remined of a Taxi episode. In it, there's the ultimate corporate flunky. Nobody seems to remember his name, nobody knows exactly what he does. At meetings, he never says a word. The picture of the family on his desk came with the frame.

    Someone convinces him that he has good ideas and he should express them at the next meeting. Spurred by this revelation, he enters the conference room.

    The next scene shows him clearing out his desk.

    It's your job as a corporate drone to rate management's decisions on a scale from good to excellent. Anything less might label you as a bump in the road, a thorn in the side.

    When I'm in a corporate environment, my goal is to steer my superiors into the correct path without compromising their ideas.

    Trust me. I have a large supply of well used cardboard boxes.

  10. Re:Los Alamos on Berkeley Grads' Identity Data Stolen · · Score: 1

    You raise some interesting points, but I fear your concerns are overblown.

    I, as a former minister ub the Nigerian government, have been trying in vain to contact someone in a more developed nation for almost 2 years. I have access to over $34,000,000 (US) and just need someone to supply their bank account and Social Security number to transfer these funds.

    Please, the next time I email you- respond. It will be most beneficial to the two of us.

    Thank you for your attention and uhuru.

  11. Re:Well, not nitpicking on Spam Turns 100, By One Reckoning · · Score: 1

    I have no doubt that some form of spam existed throughout history. Perhaps in the court of Louis XIV some enterprising individual sent hand written, hand delivered advertising a way to increase the size of thy member using only common baling wire and a cannon ball.

    What ever happened to door-to-door salesmen? They were the ultimate spam during the 1950's.

    Just like The Book of Common Prayer: Love thy neighbor, honor the King, fear God. Words to live by. Or else.

  13. Re:Cross-Platform Paranoia?? on Microsoft vs. Burst.com · · Score: 1

    "It is a true image bourne of false specticle; but have you ever known it to be otherwise? History was lived so that a glorious page might be written, then read. It's the reading that counts." Your thoughts, although very well organized, do not address the central issue: where are the emails? Try Fark next time.

  14. Re:Why electronic voting ? on Electronic Voting Machine Cracker Challenge · · Score: 1

    My friend in Sweden confirms that most European countries use paper ballots. What's interesting is that each party can stand outside a polling venue and distribute pre-filled ballots; which are counted the same as "regular" ballots.

    What REALLY floored me was the fact that even though he is an American citizen (FORN), he is allowed to vote in local elections. Guess they figure if you're there legally, you have a right to participate in how your city's run.
