  1. Re:Desktop XP or XP POS on Pennsylvania's Voting Machines Are Running Windows XP (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Who cares about the OS, these things could be running UNIX v6. The implementation matters. I'd stick with crayons though.

  2. The auditors will have none of it. Easy to audit means less billable hours for them. They will insist that these blockchains need to be 'editable' under rules and governance to be audited by them. Anything in the financial services industry that is 'easy' lasts about 6 months until some joker comes up with an excel sheet that needs to be filled in for audit and compliance.

  3. Re:Article missing the point on Accenture Patents a Blockchain-Editing Tool (techweekeurope.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    The accountancy firms need flawed blockchains, or they will be missing tons of billable hours when blockchains get implemented.

  4. Re:Little too late? on President Obama Wants To Prevent a Cyber Weapon 'Arms Race' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    But it has to stop before they need to deploy potheads!

  5. Re:Simple question on FBI Says Foreign Hackers Breached State Election Systems (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not? Your vital records and sex offender registration are a matter of public record already anyway, so who cares?

  6. Re: Just stop this nonsense on FBI Says Foreign Hackers Breached State Election Systems (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Not talking about the card here, but the data. Just have Vital Records keep flags on drive-, vote-, president-, eligibility / jury- selective service duty and what-you-have.

  7. Re: Just stop this nonsense on FBI Says Foreign Hackers Breached State Election Systems (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    And this is enforced how!? If you know people need to be registered for selective service, why not just register them instead of prosecuting them.. *boggle*

  8. Re: Just stop this nonsense on FBI Says Foreign Hackers Breached State Election Systems (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't believe the states still user voter registration records for jury duty selection anno 2016. The again, this is the USA we are talking about here, where you need to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get an ID card.

    Please stop this nonsense and autoregister everyone who is allowed to vote.

  10. Yeah, like how they now they default to my yacht in the Cheney Reservoir.

  11. Penny wise and pound foolish again on EU Plans To Create Database of Bitcoin Users With Identities and Wallet Addresses (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    €168 billion in VAT fraud a year because they can't exchange tax data if their life depended on it, and now they want to run a shadow bank to track my digital collectors items?

  12. Near 0 bandwidth on Netherlands Gets First Nationwide 'Internet of Things' (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Great if you want to dump a bit of sensor data, forget about running a telnet session over LoRa.

    Whoever did this being the one filing suit in case the code gets forked. Read!

  14. Sue obviously on Ethereum Debate Marred By Second Digital Currency Heist (dailydot.com) · · Score: 2

    Why is this called a heist? Do we also call it a heist if a patent lawyer walks away with a pile of millions? Maybe it is just a bunch of Ether Trolls that will sue the developers into oblivion for breach of contract if they try forking the code.

  15. Doesn't matter on Slashdot Asks: Do You Prefer To Handwrite or Type Notes? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Both work just as well for me. Except eg. when on the phone without speaker/headset. I prefer writing over one handed typing.

  16. Generation X here, I was taught that climate was the 30 year average weather.

  17. Re:Climate is not weather on Bill Nye: Climate Change Denial Is 'Running Out of Steam,' Thanks To Millennials (mic.com) · · Score: 2

    It does very much. If if we pretend that using the atmosphere as a dumpster doesn't ruin the the climate while it actually is we are missing the opportunity to change our behaviour. The tilt of the earths axis is not something we can change, but the moderation of what we dump into the atmosphere is! We had great success in reducing the growth of the ozone hole and reducing the acidity of rain despite nature contributing to these threats as well.

  18. Ship or it didn't happen.. on Raspberry Pi Gets Affordable, Power Efficient 314GB Hard Drive On Pi Day · · Score: 1

    Show me a working order page that ships it to my door for that price, or I'm back to AliBaba and friends ordering real goods.

    That can't be a fight they want to start, let alone against IBM.

    Hope they do, end like SCO.

  21. Next up is the $50 etc.. on It's Time To Kill the $100 Bill, Says Larry Summers · · Score: 1

    What's the effin' use!? As if criminals will go out of business because they have to carry double the amount of paper! This is just shifting the problem to the next highest denomination, and you can keep using the argument till there is no cash left.

  22. Exactly the speed of light? I didn't expect such completely different things to propagate at the same speed. Their mass (~0) and what they propagate through (~empty space) are probably the same, but still..

  24. /dev/null earns its name because the device is so small nothing can be read from it. Oddly, though, physicists have come up with a bit of theoretical sleight of hand to retrieve a speck of information that's been sent to /dev/null. The calculation touches on one of the biggest mysteries in physics: how all of the information written to /dev/null hole leaks out as heat from the CPU and gets 'dispersed' by the heat sink. Many theorists think that happens, but they don't know how to put humpty dumpty together again.
