  1. Re:Unfortunately - it won't stop the run away trai on Anonymous Declare 'Total War' On Donald Trump, Threaten To 'Dismantle His Campaign' (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    No, its the people who support blatantly corrupt, self-serving politicians like Clinton, Cruz and Rubio that should be ashemaed of themselves.

  2. I miss the days when Anonymous used to act intelligently, and on behalf of freedom and the people. This latest action of theirs is blatant suppression of free speech and democracy just to bully people into having whatever political views Anonymous decides is good for us. Good job Anonymous... NOT. You've now become exactly the evil dictatorial thing that you originally formed expressly to fight against.

  3. Re:What do kids do in math classes these days? on The Case Against Algebra · · Score: 1

    They're all dicking about with iPads instead of actually learning anything.

  4. Wait what? on German Scientists Successfully Teleport Classical Information (upi.com) · · Score: 1

    >>> Researchers used polarization to encode information within a laser beam, enabling the teleportation of information instantly and in its entirety without loss of time.

    Wait they transmitted information between two locations faster than the speed of light? I thought quantum physics states that even entaglement can't break the speed of light?

  5. >> If he did what he is accused of then he is guilty of disturbing the peace.

    Disturbing it? He was CREATING it.

  6. I'm thinking an ArmV5 single core running at 800 mhz is going to be a definite bottleneck for a NAS box, especially if you factor in software raid and maybe also running some other small apps like a media streamer or something.

  7. It would be better... on High-Tech 'Bazooka' Fires a Net To Take Down Drones (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    to have something that locates/goes after the transmitter, not the drone.

  8. I wish one of the many boards like this would think to include a SATA III interface (or 4), since it would then make them ideal to be a NAS controller.
    The only board [ve found with a SATA interface at all, is the Banana Pi, but its SATA II and connected via the USB bus so waaay to slow.

  9. Nice on Oregon Set To Become First Coal-Free State (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    They finally decided to burn all those old tyres.

  10. Re:This is incredible. on Maryland Public Buses Record Passengers' Conversations (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Do the busses have signs saying you're being recorded? Even then its far too Big Brother for me.

  11. This is incredible. on Maryland Public Buses Record Passengers' Conversations (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't this a blatant breach of both the constitution and basic human rights?
    I mean how can this even be allowed to happen in the first place?
    I say Identify, fire and prosecute all the clowns that sanctioned this, and also fire all those that even knew about it and didn't blow the whistle.

  12. Re:I still don't get this. on UK Snooper's Charter To Extend Police Access To Phone and Internet Data (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    That was my first thought too... but then I thought about it.
    What if what she's actually trying to do is to get out in the open and put legal limits on what all countries/governments are already subversively doing anyway?

  13. High end really? on CompuLab Rolls out Fanless, High-End PCs With Unique Design (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Not sure I'd call that spec high end but whatever.

  14. even more evidence on Rubio, Cruz Try To Kill Neutrality On 1-Year Rule Anniversary (dslreports.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...how bought-and-sold by special interest groups all the establishment politicians opposing Trump actually are.

  15. What does steam have to do with games supporting Vulkan or not?

  16. Re:Because China is not asking for the same thing on Apple Is Not Such a Freedom Fighter In China (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    No, but in over 35 years of embedded software development I've never seen anything counter-based that doesn't work that way yet.

    You're ASSUMING it isn't that easy. But do you actually KNOW that it isn't?

  17. Re:Because China is not asking for the same thing on Apple Is Not Such a Freedom Fighter In China (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    >> Apple said seven people for up to four weeks

    Yeah I'm not buying it. They're just saying that to put the government off.
    How long would it take for one developer with the source code and some pre-existing familiarity with it to find and change the retry counter from 10 to either disabled or at least some *really* big number?
    I'm guessing minutes.

  18. I'm assuming nothing.

    See where it says facebook=27%?

  19. I think the end of Facebook and Twitter would actually make the world a significantly better place for many reasons.
    Just one example would be during my commute every day its unusual to not see multiple morons (for whatever reason its nearly always women) that are drifting into other lanes, suddenly hard braking, or or causing multiple other problems by not keeping up with the busy traffic flow around them, because updating their facebook status is clearly more important than paying any attention to controlling 2 tons of metal barelling down the freeway.

  20. Re:Why is this a good thing? on New Research Shows You Can Grow Sperm In a Dish (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Sorry but I believe that its in humanity's best interests that we shouldn't try and work around the little natural selection that we haven't already circumvented.

    Nope. I'd get the hint that its natural selection in action.

    perhaps one of the male lab assistants had a sense of humour and was left alone in the lab for a while.

    >> it could spur efforts to develop treatments for male infertility in people. ...because the one thing this planet needs is even more humans?

  25. Re:Yaay go France on France Seeking $1.76 Billion In Back Taxes From Google (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Whatever. My point wasn't about the figures, but the whole notion that Google can somehow tell the UK Inland Revenue Service how much tax it feels like paying, rather than like the rest of us, have to follow established rules.
    Furthermore even 311.18m sounds already massively compromised, given France are apparently legitimately asking for billions.
