    What about the real issue. The fact that we pay so much for so little to begin with. Then theres throttling and caps... What the?

  3. just give it a week on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: -1

    Give it a week and the turkeys will relax. They just get riled up before thanksgiving every year... It's stressful being a turkey and they tend to overreact

  4. except airspace is dynamic on Drone Makers Add Geofencing To Keep Drones Out of Restricted Airspace (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: -1

    Ther are many occasions when previously open air space becomes restricted, usually temporarily due to an even of some type but it still happens. Those are the times the drones make the news. This adding airspace is a waste of time for that reason IMO...

  5. Sales of Chicken necks soar in Indonesia.. news at 11.

  6. But union problems on Head of Indonesia's Anti-Drug Agency Proposes Using Crocodiles To Guard Prisons · · Score: -1

    But they couldn't come to terms because the crocodile union has decidedly determined that grievances would be filed by human security union workers thus making the whole exercise mute...

    Glad it wasn't one of those dangerous Drones that got loose from it's owner! How does something that big disappear anyway? lol I'd think it has some kind of a return signature on radar. Stealth Blimp Technology?

  9. And they complain about our Drones! on Military Blimp Breaks Free and Drifts Over the Mid-Atlantic Trailing Tether (baltimoresun.com) · · Score: -1

    They were probably too busy worrying if my drone is going to get away from me.

    I don't know about you guys but I'm running down to John Deere as we speak to get me a tractor so I can copy those MP3s.

  11. Re:Someone has on Keurig 2.0 Genuine K-Cup Spoofing Vulnerability · · Score: -1

    You cut the lid off a kuerig official coffee and hot glue it to your reusable screen cup. Look for the one with the black dot on them that say Kuerig .. or just any kcup that brewed a cup in your 2.0. Works fine. Of course since this is DRM, I would never do such a thing, but I've "read" it works fine.

  12. and then another asteroid hit it on 'Mirage Earth' Exoplanets May Have Burned Away Chances For Life · · Score: 0

    And left something behind... and another... Just because it was once hot doesn't exclude the chance of life ever forming. the Earth was once very hot... and look at us now lol

  13. Re:Some BMWs on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Hackable Car? · · Score: -1

    Yes, BMW is very easy (I'm one of the Bimmerfest devotees). For BMW just get a JB4 or any of the many piggyback, custom rom, or even replacement roms and your done. The thing nobody has really mentioned in this thread though is that all you need to do is look up CanBus, or which ever protocol your car brand uses, get yourself a compatible 2-way ODB2 cable, and hack away... Most all cars are hackable now. This is /. right? I mean if the OP wanted to just buy a chip he(or she) wouldn't have asked for "hackable". My Bimmer is set up now so when I press the fob for lock, it locks the doors, rolls up the windows, closes the sunroof, and foldsz in the mirrors. Unlock short click unlocks doors and unfolds mirrors. long click reverses everything with windows down too. That's just a sample of whats easily done with a small amount of homework. Lights, etc... are all there to play with.

  14. Good to see Al Gore got a job on Study: Global Warming Solvable If Fossil Fuel Subsidies Given To Clean Energy · · Score: -1

    It's good to see Al has work, even if it is in Austria.

  16. We're sorry Mr. Smith on Cameras On Cops: Coming To a Town Near You · · Score: 0

    We're sorry your son was killed while being taken to custody Mr. Smith. He was resisting. No, there won't be any repercussions as the officer said he was acting in his own self defense. Camera? Oh, no ma'am we have no footage, while it is department policy to turn it on before any confrontation, the officer forgot to turn it on. He will be given 2 weeks paid suspension. ... Yeaaawn

  17. From the story... on Sinkhole Swallows 8 Vehicles Inside Bowling Green KY Corvette Museum · · Score: -1, Funny

    " UPDATED 7:15 PM -- "This is a big one. For the last 22 years I've been involved in the repair and the rehabilitation of sinkholes." -- Rehabilitation? What does he train them to enable them to have more opportunity? So when they do have to face life on the outside they can maybe become a Pot Hole, or better yet, a swimming hole, and having a positive impact to society. If this program had better funding, I'm sure repeat offenders like this would not have to resort to the old ways.

  18. Make a real assesment on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Do If You're Given a Broken Project? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    First thing to do is complete a real analysis of the code and report to management with an estimate to re-write complete sections of the code. Go into it realistically and tell them up front what it will take to correct things, and why. I have been in this situation several times in my career and that has always been the best approach. There is no need to "knock" the other guys code (be positive, never the mudslinger) and done correctly, would look more like you have some fresh ideas that may not have been designed into it originally. Eother way, management wants to know what to expect and having realistic expectations as soon as possible will save everyones face in the loing term. If they feel your out of line, well, then it's time to look at all those other jobs your contemplating.

    It was both very funny and sarcastic. Your ignorance to Sony's Root kit and PS3 Linux removal is what makes it even more entertaining.

  22. all this really is on Korea Tensions Lead To Delay Of Minuteman III Test Flight · · Score: -1

    First, the US is delaying its test because it doesn't want it to be misunderstood and provoke an attack on S. Korea. Thats probably all. The whole threatening thing is for the most part a show to justify the continued militarization of N.K. and also to solidify the new regime's power over the people and gain their trust.
