    Prove it.

    Well... Let's do a study of Neck Beards like you that drink 6 liters of Mt. Dew every day...

  2. How Many Times Can You Recycle? on SpaceX Successfully Lands A Falcon 9 Rocket At Sea For The Third Time (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm interested to know that having recouvered the First Stage, how many times can it be refurbished and reused before failure rates effect the launch?

    And, perhaps heven if it's not reusable as a whole, are there indevidual parts that can be reused? It's got to be made of top quality materials, so perhaps there is value in simply shredding it all up and recycling the basic material?

  3. ...dental software security researcher ...

    That's, er, pretty specialized!

    I have a lot of "issues" with so-called "security researchers", which in many case are either opertunistic hackers or script kiddies. But really, how can it be "hacking" to access data that does not require "breaking in" to anything? Sure, the dude was not invited, but if it's out there, not fire-walled, and all you need to do is type in some random URL, how can that be illegal?

    Now, there may very well be laws, rules, whatever about medical records, but if anything than it's on the medical provider for violating HIPAA or something. On the other hand, disclosing other people's medical records publically available or not might very well be against some law, and maybe it should be...

    Humans are not rats. And if I dined on 5 pounds of saccharine I'd develop issues as well.

    The Slashdot Overlords are aware of this issue, you the so-called "editors" are apparently so incompetent that they are incapable of actually "editing" and article to switch out the offending chars. Hell, you could write a simple script to do it. BUT NOOOOOO................

  6. Not a chance I'll go anywhere near it... on Amazon Built An Echo Simulator You Can Use In the Browser (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 0

    The thing about Alexa is that many people who don't own the Echo -- or its smaller siblings, the Tap and the Echo Dot -- haven't been able to see what Alexa is capable of.

    What is it capable of? Its primary purpose is to collect huge amounts of personal data on you, your family, and your friends, so that Amazon can monetize that data to pay for Jeff Bezo's flying car.

    Hackers Claim to Have 427 Million Myspace Passwords...

    And yet nothing of value was lost.

    Seriously, anyone uses MySpace anymore?

  9. Don't forget abortions... on Gigabit Internet With No Data Caps May Be Coming To Rural America (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    with that much government involvement you can bet more than a few congresspeople will want to show their pro-family credentials by mandating anti-pornography filtering on any government-funded network.

    And don't forget abortions. There shall be no abortions on government funded Intertubes.

  10. Roll back? on North Korea Linked to the SWIFT Bank Hacks (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Since this is all electronic - no one walked out of any bank with 80 million in a suitcase - there must be a trail. This trail certainly doesn't end at the Band of Kim Jong Un. Why is it not possible to say, "Well... This transaction was fraudulent. Let's reverse it!"

    The money went someplace, and the movement of 80 million would certainly leave traces.

    I'm sure I'm totally ignorant of how such a thing, in the world of electronic money transfers between banks and governments, could not be backed up.

  11. When are legitimate IP and patent holders going to band together and take out the courts in Texas? Sure, we all have different ideas about "Intellectual Property" and patents, but this has to stop. The courts in Texas are a money making enterprise that should be taken down with the RICO Act. It's a State of Texas sponsored SCAM. The "big players" like Apple and Microsoft (I know, I know...) need to "pony up" and kill this shit off.

  12. Combine one of these devices with Microsoft's pervy chat bot!

    instead they did what they could to make sure maximum profits are to be had.

    They are not a non-profit municipal utility, they are a business with stockholders that demand top financial return.

    Having said that, I agree that they are blood suckers and I'm looking for a way to cut them from my life...

  16. Is There A Reason You Hate Freedom? on Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel Secretly Bankrolled Hulk Hogan's Lawsuit Against Gawker: Reports (gawker.com) · · Score: 2

    A lot of people are spouting "Freedom of the Press", but really, Gawker and "Journalism" should not be used in relation to each other.

    As to this asshat using his money to fight against something that bothers him? Well, it's a free country, right?

  20. It's funny to me how selective people are with their privacy. Allow the government to have a physical spy network? Bad! Allow Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter to control, monitor, and exploit every respect of their lives?.... I hear the new iPhone comes out in September! I bet it's shiny!

    Lame example. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter are not the same as "the government". If you can't see the difference, there's nothing I can do for you.

    While it is the most probable for a mid air disintegration, the reality is that there were airplane which disintegrated fully or partially lost parts mid air.

    One or two have gone down due to cargo doors that were improperly secured, but not a hour into the flight at 35,000 feet. As to mid air disintegration, no modern jet has done so.
