  1. As if Amazon isn't bad enough, now it's just downright creepy.

  2. If Trump can't run, regardless of his behavior or how you feel about T-rump, then what do we have?

  3. You have all the power on AT&T Defeats Class Action In Unlimited Data Throttling Case (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Stop using ATT, Verizon, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, etc.............

  4. Horse Shit on Study Finds 3 Laws Could Reduce Firearm Deaths By 90% (meta.com) · · Score: 2

    The majority of gun deaths are suicides, the next highest number are gang and criminal related, then comes a small numbers of murders and then accidents.

    And no one ever covers defensive use, which outnumber the gun deaths statistics.

    Criminals will always get guns and suicides should not be counted towards "gun violence".

  5. The most amusing part? on Hertz Had Sheriffs On Hand the Day It Cut IT (computerworld.com) · · Score: 0

    How passive people have become to being fucked over and over and over again.

  6. Wow... on Alpha Go Takes the Match, 3-0 (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    "but now we know that we have been on the right track"

    Devalue the human race is the right track? I think many of you will come to agree with me when you're faced with an AI taking your job.

  7. Re:For a constitutional lawyer... on Obama: Government Can't Let Smartphones Be 'Black Boxes' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Snowden disagrees with you, he says it is entirely possible for the FBI to gain access to the phone.

    Now who do you think I'm going to believe?

    It's all theater, eventually even you will figure this out.

  8. Another human devalued by a machine, get used to it.

  9. And Apple is in this too, so why do I always get -1 for such comments? That many fanbois or is someone playing "forum police".

    I rant about other shit rarely get marked down as quickly as pointing Apple's security "issues" or point out the fallacies of this case.

    When this all becomes evident to even the dimmest fanboi what then? Will you stop buying their products?

    Doubtful.

  10. Re:I don't know on BMW Showcases Self-Driving Concept Car · · Score: 1

    Shannon Hamilton: That's it. You're dead, mallrat! I'm gonna fuck you up beyond repair!

    Brodie: Ladies and gentlemen, this tall drink of water headed my way is a pillar of the shopping community who informed me earlier today of a nefarious plan of his to screw my girlfriend in an extremely uncomfortable place.

    Gil Hicks: What... like the back of a Volkswagen?

  11. Which, if true, underlines what I've said, why else have all this show if they can already break it?

    Because they want everything compromised, Apple how ever stands to lose something if they "do it willingly".

    So they put on a show.

  12. I did, no coffee in the house...

    Maybe if I had a robot...

  13. Who are we to believe?
    I've stated before this case is theater to allow Apple to comply without damaging their bottom line.
    It's a show to make you feel better.

    Now Snowden basically sums it up.

  14. If, eventually, a computer can do whatever a human can do, and do it better, what is the point of human existence?

  15. "but the goal of this system is to make the data more useful for the individuals themselves, to give them more control, and to make it more useful to communities."

    That may or may not be his intention, but once out ti will be used for... "whatever".

  16. How many of those fingerprints wind up in a government data base.

  17. Hmm on Wayland Isn't Ready For the Fedora 24 Desktop (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes indeed

  18. Bingo!!! Pretty tois for fanbois.

    I busted a gut laughing when I found out they under clocked CPU/GPU's due to heating problems in laptops.
    So you weren't even getting the advertised speed of the proc.

  19. This just affirms what I have said all along, this is theater provided by Apple to assuage the fanbois.

    The bottom line is all that matters which is why they picked this one to stand against.

  20. So many laws like this coming out in Australia, it's quite amusing.

    They took their guns, locked down their Internet, now apparently crippled their scientist, what a joke of a nation.
    Every news story about a "law" out of Australia is "draconian".

    They also have the World's highest incidence of alcohol related brain shrinkage.

  21. If you think about it most people are basically automatons that are given their opinions, ideas, and belief systems by someone else.

    Very few rise up, self actualize, or even think for themselves.

  22. This just affirms my belief that the Universe was always ordained (pun intended) to allow life to emerge.
    It is, and was (at the start) a mathematical certainty.

    We start with a singular point, it expands, becomes more complex, elements are created and eventually planets then life.

    There's a lot of yatta yatta in between those points but you get my drift.

  23. Or the fact that there is no definition of sanity that does not depend on yet another subjective factor in behavior, not to mention brains vary so much, psychology is pretty much a pseudo science.

  24. What Zuckerberg calls "hate speech" the real World calls valid concerns.

    It's the fault of you idiots using Facebook that Zuckerberg has the ability to say, or do any of things he does.

    If you use Facebook, fuck you.
