    It as an automated astroturf campain that left thousands of comments by dead people and people whos IDs were stolen in favor or getting rid of net neutrality rules. that's probably what gave the impression of a ddos.

  4. Re:This started long before Trump on The Trump Administration Wants To Be Able To Track and Hack Your Drone (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Did you bother to read this? or is it your knee-jerk reaction to be a Trump apologist? This is not about registering drones. This is about putting a backdoor on the computers that control drones in order to allow the government access to those vehicles.

  5. Re:I've got a better idea for them: on The Trump Administration Wants To Be Able To Track and Hack Your Drone (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    There be something like a secondary receiver built into all drones, that when it receives the appropriate signal, causes the drone to descend and land safely

    Your ignorance of the preponderance of UAV aircraft is showing. That requires a flight computer with navigation capabilities, GPS, magnetometer, and barometer along with firmware for such. Most drones are not equipped with such. Many flight controllers are open source, The most popular firmwares available are open source. Open source devs tend to frown on such government intrusion. Just because you hate a piece of technology or are ignorant to it doesn't mean the government should have a backdoor into it.

    How about a something like a secondary chip built into all computers, that when it receives the appropriate signal, causes the computer to deny control by the user and allows the government total access. What are your thoughts on that? How about a chip that allows the government to take over your car or your cell phone? You know...because terrorism

  6. I build my own aircrafts and use only open source firmware on the flight controllers. I thank all the developers of dRonin ground station and firmware for making this possible.

  7. Answer is no on Could Giant Alien Structures Be Dimming a Far Away Star? (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 2

    If it where alien megastructures such as a Dyson type sphere the dimming would more likely be at consistent intervals rather than random intervals which seems to be what's happening here. It's probably interstellar dust/gas of some sort

    One would think you would want to know how your go-to news source is a propaganda machine strait from the insiders.

    Well it looks like Trump is going to sign this one. He signs everything they give him and he appointed Ajit Pai head of FCC so doesn't look like he cares either.

    some older games...and it still performed quite strong without optimization...and it's half the price of the $1000+ intel processor that it trailed by 20% but feel free to pay the extra $500 for 20% more performance for some older games.

  15. So i suppose this guy was making casting porn where they trick women that they are "trying-out" for porn when there is no intention of signing them up for any porn other than the porn they made in the casting "interview"

  16. Re:Cue the hipocrisy... on NSA's Best Are 'Leaving In Big Numbers,' Insiders Say (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is people keep blaming the fucking NSA when they are just doing what politicians ask them to do. ITS NOT THE NSAs fault. it's the fault of POLITICIANS that you people keep voting back into power. The PATRIOT ACT was not written by the NSA. Yet it's the NSA that keeps getting dumped on in places like slashdot and and the greater media in general. All the memes and talking points single out the NSA as the bogey man and not the fucking politicians that have tasked them to do shit they shouldn't be doing. BLAME THE FUCKING POLITICIANS for gods sake. instead of making jokes about the NSA spying on citizens how about making jokes about mccain, grayham, obama, bush, etc. It is they that deserve the bad name not the NSA. Jesus christ.
