The people at the Search for Terrestrial Intelligence Project will have to confirm this, of course. However it'll be an amazing breakthrough if we finally discover intelligent life on Earth!
How about all the people that live in apartments with first come first serve parking? Or people that park in the street? Or way down the street? Overnight charging is not simple for everyone.

it would be an interesting turn for endless homebrew encryption and subterfuge networks to begin quagmiring these ineffective surveillance networks even further.
And this is exactly why the general public needs encryption and why various TLA outfits and buddies like to use the "think of the children" garbage to denounce it.
Rubbish. If you've nothing to hide... you aren't a protestor... you keep your head down... do what the government tells you... aren't unlucky enough to get caught in a wide sweeping dragnet... then you have no need for encryption or privacy!
It's okay, it isn't like anyone ever tells the truth on the damn thing.
According to it, this time, I have changed my religion from Jedi to Sith.
I don't know about Australia. In the UK, the whole point of the Jedi thing was to point out that the only part of the census that was optional and didn't need to be truthful was the religion question
I don't know when the first emojis were used, but I remember them in the early '90s. Emotion-icons, emoticons, were tags to express emotions over the emotionless text.;)
What you're describing are emoticons. AFAIK, emoji's originated later from cellphones in Asia; although they're clearly inspired by emoticons.
With regards to the OP and his obsession with bandwidth, emojis use less bytes than a lot of emoticons...
By writing "Good catch", you suggest that you don't often make such errors. May I suggest you read up on the difference between the words effect and affect? Once you have done that: Re-read your Colonel Sanders post and ask yourself whether you made the right choice in that instance.
And no I don't think kids and Pokemon Go go hand in hand.. Adults play Pokemon go more than kids I have yet to see kids play it but all my friends who play are adults.
Well there are more adults around than their are kids, but to say kids don't make up a sizeable portion of the players would be inaccurate. Admittedly most of my friends are adults, so most of my friends that play Pokemon Go are adults, but that's selection bias! I see plenty of kids playing it at the mall or in the park.
I don't see the connection of Pokemon Go and kids and sex offenders.
I go running in the park, I sometimes see kids playing it in groups. I usually give them a friendly hello and ask them if they've caught any yet as I pass. It's not inconceivable that a sex offender could strike up a more meaningful conversation, so I can see some kind of connection.
Obviously this legislation would be ridiculous, practically uneforcable and there's much better areas they could be focussing on. However, I can kind of see where they're coming from even if it is a bit of a kneejerk "think of the children" reaction.
my UA gives, among others: 1) exact version of the (Mac) OS a.b.c, 2) exact version of chrome a.b.c.d which is IMO too much info. The OS and Chrome should be limited to 2 numbers a.b.
I would have thought that the more numbers in the version number then the more frequently it'll change which makes fingerprinting (slightly) harder over time?
Congratulations of receiving so many responses on your post about a pet issue of yours - all from different users too - all of which have exactly the same style of grammar, spelling and punctuation as you do. Isn't that a weird coincidence:)
YEAH! The current thread is about Windows 10! Name me one Windows 10 exploit that is currently out in the wild amongst active everyday users! Ha, you can't. Never mind the millions of exploits for previous versions, they don't count. They got eradicated in Windows 9! $$DATA
Some of my previous jobs involved programmed AI game opponents for action games. As anyone who's faced an aim-bot knows, there's no real challenge for computers to perform many of the tasks humans find difficult, like putting a bullet through a moving target's forehead.

I was wondering who did that! Can you please tell her not to do it again. Tiddles really doesn't like it!
We found intelligence on Earth!

I don't understand how this can possibly be cost effective. Can anyone explain?
How about all the people that live in apartments with first come first serve parking? Or people that park in the street? Or way down the street? Overnight charging is not simple for everyone.

Where did you get that from?
You must be new here. On Slashdot, you don't need to be right, you just have to sound right to get mod points.
I see you went for the other strategy, which is to accuse other people of making stuff up because you are yourself too lazy to even read TFA.
You must be new here. On Slashdot we don't read TFA before posting ;-)

No, what AC was pointing out was that a mere 100 years ago, people made sweeping statements like "no one in our lifetime will ever fly".
They were bloody stupid if they did say that considering people had been flying for well over a century before that and in aeroplanes for 13 years!

If I was dead, the first thing I'd do is get someone to tweet to say I was alive in order to cover up the fact! This is blatently a conspiracy!!!!
Prohibit television broadcasts, too.
They're fine so long as they use Animated PNG! :-D

Blame Canada they're not even a real country anyway.
And suspiciously, most of them can't speak Romanian either. That's proof!!

So humanity has 1500 more years to live before the aliens come and destroy us.
Only if the aliens can travel at the speed of light
I know one cool trick to do this; It'll shock you how easy it is!

I find that knowing the majority of the Dead Parrot sketch and the main chorus of the Lumberjack song gets me through fine :)

Then why did Steven Polge resort to making the ReaperBot cheat?
Surely there should be an X11 chip, for those that want to go louder and faster?
