  1. Re:Why come you don't have a tattoo? on Orlando Police End Test of Amazon's Real-Time Facial 'Rekognition' System (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Unscannable!

  2. On a smaller scale, imagine the uproar if slashdot visitors were scored based on their comments, and even had their opinions hidden by default if the ruling party didn't like what was said!

  3. As 7th grader found Florida State University's PLATO system and learned TUTOR. First program was a frog icon (bitmap) that jumped to the location where you touched on the touch screen. Spent the next 6 years running to the university after school and staying until midnight when they shut it down.

  4. How is this not a 5? Gold.

  5. Change your PIN on Ask Slashdot: Would You Use A Cellphone With A Kill Code? · · Score: 2

    But don't memorize it, before crossing the border, and send it to yourself securely on another device not in your possession. That way you can swear that you don't know it and cannot obtain it. It becomes something you neither know or have. State that this is your standard travel policy for safety reasons.

  6. That's not a complete denial on Apple, Google, Microsoft: We Have No Government Email Scanning Program Like Yahoo's (vocativ.com) · · Score: 2

    To say they don't do it in the same way as Yahoo is not the same as completely denying cooperation. I've never heard a a denial from these companies, for example, that they might feed all information sources to either an on-site or off-site cluster that government entities have access to. I've always watched the wording on statements and they seem to be carefully crafted to not lie, and to only deny very specific suspicions.

  7. Excellent Idea, good first step towards ... on German Minister Wants Facial Recognition Software At Airports and Train Stations (www.rte.ie) · · Score: 2

    making Germany great again! With assurances it will only look at terrorist suspects?

  8. Remote Work on Why 6 Republican Senators Think You Don't Need Faster Broadband (cio.com) · · Score: 2

    Faster speeds promote a remote workforce, saving money for business, reducing needs for infrastructure (roads) maintenance and upgrades, improve the quality of life of many Americans, and providing increased opportunities for everyone.

  9. State Law, State Limits on DMCA Safe Harbor May Not Apply To Old Copyrighted Works · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't this finding also mean the 1000-year federal extension on copyrights would not apply? Further, wouldn't jurisdiction enter play from all angles, such as location of the uploader, location of the server, location of the company being sued, and of the rights owner?

  10. Too much, too fast? on Brazil Mandates Shift to Free Software · · Score: 1

    Success could be OSS own demise. If there are not enough professionals to support what the law has required, if critical systems cannot get up and running, it will look bad for the revolution. Is the Linux community really prepared to have the personal computer infrastructures of the 20 largest countries simultaneously demanding their immediate attention? Failure could send them begging Microsoft for help.

  11. Are Pseudonyms == Hiding Identity? on Spam, Milord · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are pseudonyms equivalent to hiding our true identity, and criminal under New York law?
