  1. How on Cisco Security Appliances Found To Have Default SSH Keys · · Score: 2

    is this a bug?

    default, authorized SSH keys

  2. While I'm not interested in apps that mock or profit from misery, I have to say it's censorship.

    Here's an interesting video on the flag controversy going on, it represents what I'm seeing more and more of, PC censorship and "shaming".

            "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people"...and complete fucking idiots obsess about flags.

  3. If someday instead of looking for a "Made in America" sticker I'll be looking for a "Made By A Human" sticker

  4. Re: I'm spending 60% of my monthly income on rent on The Vicious Circle That Is Sending Rents Spiraling Higher · · Score: 2

    Meanwhile when I find a good deal or a nice place to go I tell nobody about it. Everyone should do that.

    Then what would they post on Facebook.

  5. Re:Give firefighters shotguns on Why We Need Certain Consumer Drone Regulations · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Given the fairly limited range of the radios used to control said drones

    Some people use UHF channels to control the "drone" (multirotor) the record distance is up in the tens of kilometers.

    The rest I agree with, since it's my hobby and it's rapidly becoming regulated or plain illegal to do what I love, these people piss me off something fierce.
    I don't fly over 400 feet up, over people or property, and certainly not near an airport.

  6. kind of related. on Building the Face of a Criminal From DNA · · Score: 1

    http://fusion.net/story/154199...

    We know that Facebook has a vast facial recognition database so good that it can recognize you when your face is hidden, that the FBI has built a millions-strong criminal facial recognition system, and that Googleâ(TM)s new Photos app is so effective at face recognition that it can identify now-adults in photos from their childhood. But now facial recognition is starting to pop up in weird and unexpected places: at music festivals (to identify criminals); at stadiums (to weed out âoesports troublemakersâoe) and at churches. Yes, churches.

  7. OK on Learn-to-Code Program For 10,000 Low-Income Girls · · Score: 1

    I really do not get the drive to get "girls" to code, especially from an organization that took a lot of money from the Sauds.

    What's the end game of so many coders?

  8. convenience on Car Hacking is 'Distressingly Easy' · · Score: 1

    convenience is the reason there is so much trouble.

  9. OK on Who Owns Your Overtime? · · Score: 1

    But if TISA turns out to be an easy in for foreign workers what does this change really mean?

  10. Re:You know... on NIST Workshop Explores Automated Tattoo Identification · · Score: 1

    I've seen some Yakuza tattoos that are OK, but most of the tats I see on the street are just terrible.
    It's amusing how few people understand that symmetry is beautiful.

  11. Re:You know... on NIST Workshop Explores Automated Tattoo Identification · · Score: 1

    Clothing can be removed easily, tattoos not so much.

  12. Re:Privacy Backdoor on NIST Workshop Explores Automated Tattoo Identification · · Score: 0

    Naw.. if you were stupid enough to get a tattoo you should be watched.

  13. You know... on NIST Workshop Explores Automated Tattoo Identification · · Score: 1

    Most tattoos are terrible, if you put them on paper and framed them you would be embarrassed to hang it in your bathroom.

    I would wager 3 quatloos you could graph the decline of intelligence with the rise of tattoos.

  14. What you're saying is that Silver can make sense of uneducated opinions, that's all polls are.

  15. Re:and yet on Political Polls Become Less Reliable As We Head Into 2016 Presidential Election · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What sauce do you think Christie would use on a baby?

  16. Polls are not reliable, they rely on opinion and the way you ask the question.

  17. Maybe on The Science of Incivility · · Score: 1

    That's a reason women tend to live longer than men, because historically they haven't been in the "workforce".

    The name of Mossad head you're talking about and one of the social sites would be nice to know.
