  1. Re:Morons on A New Corporate AI Can Read Your Emails - and Your Mind (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    Probably auto-corrected from bambozzle :)

  2. Re:Almost no surveillance concern at all, really on Micro-Camera Can Be Injected With A Syringe -- May Pose Surveillance Concerns (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    You're correct about the power and communications. Consider, however, the agent or pervert next door who uses this to spy on you. Also consider in what devices such a thing may be implanted.

  3. I have seen such cameras (hair thin fibre optic connected) before; in use by security services of various nations.

    What is most interesting is the construction via 3D printing, making it available to anyone.

  4. Great counter-argument, bro. Do you have a newsletter?

  5. Re:Productivity not Security on Singapore To Cut Off Internet Access For Government Workers From 2017 (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget solitaire!

  6. Re:What's wrong with that? on Ethical Hackers Donate 1,000,000 Air Miles To Charity (offensi.com) · · Score: 1

    So they could have donated x air-miles to the IRS as payment in kind?

    Otherwise, it's just a scam.

  7. Re:Killing jobs? on Slashdot Asks: How Long Before Self-Driving Cars Become Mainstream? · · Score: 2

    ' Self driving cars still require a human to take over whenever it doesn't know what to do...'

    And if you believe that humans can do this after several hours or days of nothing happening, you're wrong.

  8. Tim, the Toolman's" theory of "More Power" seems to have failed in this case.

  9. Reminds Me of the Song... on Canadian Police Have Had BlackBerry's Global Decryption Key Since 2010 (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    "By By Blackberry"

  10. I have a bad feeling about this.

    Maybe its intended for political calculations!

  11. Enough Money on Spies In The Skies: FBI Planes Are Circling US Cities (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This suggests that the FBI and DHS have more funding than they need. Perhaps it can be applied to some useful activity (such as making teacups; breaking and crushing them; mixing with water; and making more teacups).

  12. Yeah, we know on Bank of England Teams With New UK Cybersecurity Body (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    And they're working really hard to weaken these systems' security because terrorism.

  13. Re:Stupid parents on Database Error Exposes Sensitive Information On 1,700 Kids (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree; but, here, it's unfortunately the kids who don't deserve everything they may get.

  14. Real Life? on Jaguar Land Rover To Test Autonomous Cars In 'Living Lab' (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    So, does that mean a foot of snow on the ground, at night, with no pre-entry of the route?

  15. Re: TIMMAY!!!!!! on In Memoriam: VGA (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree; that's why I use black on grey. However, since one tends to focus on the letters, their brightness can have an effect greater than the background (modulo fount, size, and special effects).

  16. Re:Need a WYSIWYG browser on Attackers Abuse Legitimate EU Cookie Law Notices In Clickjacking Campaign (malwarebytes.org) · · Score: 1

    My initial thought as well. The difficult part is: what opacity is invisible? For example: a frame with a single background colour and no border may just be interpreted as part of the legitimate widget for clicking.

  17. How unexpected on Allegations of Data Manipulation At Theranos (wsj.com) · · Score: 0

    Medicine is too important to be a 'for profit' industry.

  18. That would be a shotgun based 'Portable Anti Drone Defense' system

  19. Re:You mean to tell me on Ask Slashdot: Best Practices For Using a Reputation Engine To Rate Information? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No. He is asking users for features and characteristics that said users would find advantageous for a web engine that accumulates and organizes web data.

    <snark>Something I wish more programmers would do.</snark>

  20. Re:I suppose this is how we'll transition on CA DMV Releases Draft Requirements For Autonomous Vehicles On Public Streets · · Score: 2

    "They'll be a driver with the minimal amount of training needed to handle an emergency ..."

    Handling emergencies is usually where the greatest skill and training is required.

  21. Re:Ticket Bots? on Congress Joins Battle Against Ticket Bots (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Where's the NSA when you really need them?

    Tracking ticket bots should be their highest priority!

  22. Re:I hope... on FAA To Drone Owners: Get Ready To Register To Fly (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The important point is: what's a drone? That is: how much autonomous control is required?

  23. Re:Awww on Pesticides Turn Bumblebees Into Poor Pollinators (acs.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because people want all food, cheap, unblemished in any way, all year round, no matter how tasteless or lacking in nutrition.

  24. Re:What changes? on FTC Amends Telemarketing Rule To Ban Payment Methods Used By Scammers · · Score: 1

    And I guess it's just fortuitous (for the state) that they can track all the allowed transactions.

  25. Re:"The code comes out cleaner"? on Bad Programming Habits We Secretly Love (infoworld.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ah, the "No True Clean Code" fallacy.
