  1. That rings a bell... on Computer Use Could Help Predict Early-Stage Alzheimer's (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I done something like this a few years, but forgot all about it.

  2. I can now say "BOMB"

  3. Impressive feat on Go Champion Lee Se-dol Beats Google's DeepMind AI For First Time (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    The big factor here (as Kasparov stated playing Deep Blue), is that computers don't get tired and don't get distracted - that is a big advantage.

  4. Pi's are great on Raspberry Pi 3 Brings Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    I run all my network on Raspberry's. They are are a great bit of kit. All you need is to run a decent OS on it -> http://rpi.fatdog.eu/

  5. Thank God... on High-Energy Laser Effector Tested On German Warship (upi.com) · · Score: 1

    .. it wasn't a British warship - I don't want to relive 1939 and all that again.

  6. When I was at school... on US School Agrees To Pay $8,500 To Get Rid Of Ransomware (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    ... someone stole my slide rule. I had to pay them 1s and 6d to get it back. How times have changed!

  7. Re:Defense on Magnitude of glibc Vulnerability Coming To Light (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Also add:

    edns-packet-max=512

    to your dnsmasq.conf if you run a local caching DNS server.

  8. It's a Microsoft operating system, and by installing it you agree to their EULA. You have agreed to all this. MS can do what they want as they own the machine you run it on - end of story. The only way out is to use a.n.other OS. But you will not.

  9. As far as I am concerned... on UK Prisons To Crack Down On Inmate Internet and Mobile Phone Use (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    ... a lot of people in the UK can't even get a decent connection, even thought they have to pay for it. So why do criminals get it free anyway. I thought the objective when jailed is to take away certain 'home comfort' liberties' that make it an atonement for crimes committed. If the story is true, then that is really sad.

  10. Re: NUKEM!! NUKEM NOW!! on Islamic State Claims Responsibility for Paris Attacks; Death Toll At 127 · · Score: -1, Troll

    You can prove anything with stats. But are innocent people 'innocent people'? Are children 'children' or the next generation to do this sort of thing?

    Wipe the fucking lot out - nuke the whole middle East. And get rid of religion.

  11. Re: Well now Patrick will have to make a change on LILO Bootloader Development To End · · Score: 1

    Well said. LILO works, and is simple. Well done Pat as well.

    Too many well's there, I thing, but LILO works well :)

  12. I haven't got a phone :( I suppose I better buy one then.

  13. DoH! on Harry Shearer Walks Away From "The Simpsons," and $14 Million · · Score: 2

    Excellent.

  14. Poor woman on Audi Creates "Fuel of the Future" Using Just Carbon Dioxide and Water · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't she change her name?

  15. Spartan? on Microsoft Rolls Out Project Spartan With New Windows 10 Build · · Score: 0

    My only thought is that of the trojan horse. Aptly named, I think.

  16. Re:Not physical access.. on LightEater Malware Attack Places Millions of Unpatched BIOSes At Risk · · Score: 1

    "that can do the appropriate manuevers"

    Was that supposed to be "manual levers"?

  17. Re:Right on LightEater Malware Attack Places Millions of Unpatched BIOSes At Risk · · Score: 1

    "...but can instead just reinstall the operating system."

    Oh no, secure boot, remember. It isn't yours.

  18. Re:Right on LightEater Malware Attack Places Millions of Unpatched BIOSes At Risk · · Score: 1

    Well first you need to compromise a machine. Game over there and then, let alone starting to re-flash BOIS or whatever - this is just another *thing* that can be changed once you own the machine. No big surprise there.

    Of course, as to your question - if you have physical access (and a black hat), then game over anyway.

  19. So you need admin and be able to install a dodgy kernel module to trash the machine. Then again, if you got that far, a 2lb hammer would suffice without needing to know anything about computers/kernels/modules.

  20. Re:Circumcised at age 18? on World's 1st Penis Transplant Done In South Africa · · Score: 0

    incision you mean?

  21. Re:sad news on talk radio on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 1

    "I didn't know he lives here in Boston"

    He don't. He's dead Jim.

  22. Re:Illogical on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 1

    Well post that here then when you are 84 then to prove the point.

  23. Re:In search of... on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 1

    That sounds like a creationist's wiggle out how come will got fossils millions of years old.

  24. Re:In search of... on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 1

    In the original trial for ST, he DID smile and show emotion (this will kill trekers):

  25. Re:Illogical on Leonard Nimoy Dies At 83 · · Score: 1

    "It's a crime how many people smoking kills."

    Don't talk stupid - he was 83. Most people don't get that far even if they don't smoke.
