  1. But wait... on Hackers Unlock Samsung Galaxy S8 With Fake Iris (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    ...wait, I was told AI was right around the corner. Are you telling me we can't even make simple software work?

  2. It isn't just Americans. I don't think Americans are buying Huawei smartphones. But you are right: just go to aliexpress and you will see how cheaply junk has been made in China, and the markup we are paying here in the West.

  3. Five revisions of the Surface product and they haven't sold a single one. You would think they would get a hint.

  4. A $2000 Chinese designed and built laptop? You might want to knock off a zero.

  5. Playing games is not AI. A game has strict rules. These are easy problems for computers to solve. Computers love strict rules. It isn't intelligence. And don't say "well you cannot do a depth first traversal of same Go states becuase it is so huuuuge". That doesn't make any difference: just use a different algorithm. It still isn't AI.

  6. Re:Large and irregular on Could Giant Alien Structures Be Dimming a Far Away Star? (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Other bodies? like aliens???

  7. Enough with "self-driving" on Pittsburgh Is Falling Out of Love With Uber's Self-Driving Cars (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    We won't have self-driving/autonomous cars any time soon. The same applies to "AI". It is all smoke and mirrors, and we can do the easy stuff quickly, but the remaining 10% to get it to actually work will take much longer (or not possible at all).

  8. East Texas on The Supreme Court Is Cracking Down on Patent Trolls (fortune.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought they always used East Texas because the people there were so intelligent?

  9. Re:Lets see if we get this right..... on Bitcoin Price Hits Fresh Record High Above $2,200 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I just thought of a name for it: "deflation". It will NEVER work!

  10. Good for me on Privacy-Focused Debian-Based Tails 3.0 Reaches RC Status (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Tails is good for me. I run it on my 386SX. I am safe from Intels chip spyware too. As an extra precaution I never use the Internet.

  11. Re:THIS COMMENT WAS PAID BY UBER on Texas Legislature Clears Road For Uber and Lyft To Return To Austin (austinmonitor.com) · · Score: 1

    The "taxi mafia" are the people that pay off the local politicians for access to the local market and medallions. They exist. That is how the taxi industry operates in the US. Sorry you are so clueless about life.

  12. Re: Short sight on The Working Dead: Which IT Jobs Are Bound For Extinction? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Wrong. Computers aren't getting faster and faster. Moores Law is dead. You will only see incremental improvements. This isn't the 90s.

  13. Re: Short sight on The Working Dead: Which IT Jobs Are Bound For Extinction? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    "Dropping to assembly"?

    "You can deal with memory and ports and interrupts and so on very transparently in these languages,"

    Um, what? What does C++ have to do with memory/ports/interrupts? What are you talking about?

  14. Good idea on Netgear Adds Support For "Collecting Analytics Data" To Popular R7000 Router · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I had this idea a while back. When you collect analytic data like this and feed it back into a correlation engine you can do analysis and look for things like widespread attacks, malware propagation.

    It would be nice to have an open source answer to this.

  15. Who do you think wrote and funded the story?

  16. A plane!

  17. ...UAW

  18. One guy ALMOST fell off of a plane.

  19. Re:A long way down.... on Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago (alternet.org) · · Score: 1

    It is a PUBLIC GOLF RESORT. It is not a secure facility. Why would you assume anything? "Strictly controlled access" to a public resort???

    "Obviously it's a problem that Trump talks about policy and sensitive topics in the open around members of the public"

    Gee. That might be a problem, don't you think?

  20. Re:A long way down.... on Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago (alternet.org) · · Score: 1

    Exactly. THAT is the problem. Why is sensitive materials AT A HOTEL? Now you guys get it!

  21. Re:Open wifi on Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago (alternet.org) · · Score: 1

    "This isn't about a country club, its about where the leader of a nation does his work"

    Wow. You are dense. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES should not be doing sensitive work at a golf resort! "Sensitive, potentially extremely sensitive materials" SHOULD NOT BE AT A GOLF RESORT.

  22. Re:Wow. You da man. Accessing a public network! on Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago (alternet.org) · · Score: 1

    I'm not a fanboy. I hate Trump. You guys are missing the point. He SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED to do sensitive work at a GOLF RESORT. If he is, then it is a breach of security.

  23. Re:Wow. You da man. Accessing a public network! on Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago (alternet.org) · · Score: 2

    "The fact there is open points at all just shows there is more than one network"

    There is?

    I don't get how it is appropriate to install a Federal secure network at a golf resort. But I guess I am not a security expert.

  24. Re:Wow. You da man. Accessing a public network! on Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago (alternet.org) · · Score: 1

    "Because he's a fucking idiot"

    I see. So the President of the US is fucking idiot who takes sensitive material to a public golf resort and you are worried about open wifi. Interesting.

  25. Re:Open wifi on Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago (alternet.org) · · Score: 1

    So they should install a secure network at a public golf resort? The mind boggles.
