  1. Re:You all presumably know why. on In Which Linus Torvalds Makes An 'Init' Joke (lkml.org) · · Score: 2

    It is probably worse. Systemd gobbles up external features because it is inherently incompatible with the packages implementing them. And feature creep is just the smallest evil, the biggest evil is, during this furious re-implementation, they introduce new bugs.

  2. Re:Why is our media... on Kaspersky Lab Has Been Working With Russian Intelligence (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, both the US and the Soviets were guilty about Afghanistan. What's worse, the current evil of Afghanistan, the Taliban, were groomed by the CIA.

  3. I see no problem with the FSB banging the door of a few Russian hackers. What did the Author of this crap expect, how should the number of Russian hackers dwindle? Sending in the FBI/CIA?

  4. Re: What I would like to know: on State Prison Officials Blame An Escape On Drones And Cellphones (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't quite see why they need to jam mobile signal. I would instead listen/record/process all the incoming/outgoing calls.
    Trace them and all illegal users would be caught.

  5. Re: Good example of why to avoid the GPL. on Bruce Perens Warns Grsecurity Breaches the Linux Kernel's GPL License (perens.com) · · Score: 1

    In other words, you expect stuff for free but you don't want to give the same to others.

  6. "The dude was an asshole."

    Obviously, with that username.

  7. Re:Nuclear power is the best option... on NASA Seeks Nuclear Power For Mars (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Half-life, you surely heard of that. There is no need to store any nuclear waste for hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

  8. Re:Only in Trump America.. on Court Blocks EPA Effort To Suspend Obama-Era Methane Rule (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    But, its true. Nowhere in the previous US of A's was the office whose duty is to protect the environment, actually damaging the environment and cited to court for that.
    You can say, it is an overstepping of the court and it is all within the right of the EPA to allow environmental damage to occur, but still, this is a first and this happens under Trump.

  9. Re:Buy American? on Should Kaspersky Lab Show Its Source Code To The US Government? (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably for the same reason (US government means CIA/NSA too), Kaspersky is rightfully anxious.
    Russian or US, these governments are all the same, i wouldn't even be surprised if some hackers are on both payrolls.

  10. Re:Sounds like somone I know on New Research Explodes Myths About Ada Lovelace (ox.ac.uk) · · Score: 2

    What do you mean, those low IQ CEO's are rightfully there?

  11. Re:The Art Of The Empty Gesture on Mayors of 7,400 Cities Vow To Meet Obama's Climate Commitments (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It is not the "left" who want to put a brake on man-made climate change, it is everyone who wants a livable planet 100 years in the future.

  12. Re:The Art Of The Empty Gesture on Mayors of 7,400 Cities Vow To Meet Obama's Climate Commitments (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    So, if all of this was as easy as pie, why the Orange Clown went back on it? I guess, it was because of cheap popularity points in Idiocracy?

  13. Re:Not sure how that works on Google Slapped With $2.7 Billion By EU For Skewing Searches (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    And with whatever service Google appears on the Internet, they will take this one click defense to strengthen their monopoly? I'm usually with Google, but this is indeed an abuse of their monopoly on their search service to "synergize" with other services of theirs.

  14. Regardless of that, it would be safer to pull over and disable the vehicle. Hopefully, the "disable autopilot" doesn't just mean the vehicle switches to a free running state :D

  15. Re:That makes 24 on NASA Finds Evidence Of 10 New Earth-sized Planets (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    If we can hit the target with a laser (as in starshot), it could probably send that laser back (with data).
    Problem is, i doubt we can hit it with a laser.

  16. Re: America doesn't win anymore on Swiss Supercomputer Edges US Out of Top Spot (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Sweden? How would that help beating Switzerland and China???

  17. Re:Who domesticated whom? on Cats May Have Been Domesticated Twice (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    I totally hate the smell of cat urine, but i like cats. So there is no "virus". Not even a parasite.

  18. Re:Plugged the bugs? on You Can Hack Some Mazda Cars With a USB Flash Drive (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Or a jobless security researcher who needs some fame and doesn't care about the 'hackers' who just used their cars for more fun.

  19. Re: Well yeah! on Kim Dotcom Loses Latest Battle To Recover Seized Assets (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Unpaid tax?

  20. Re: Mercked on Cancer Drug Proves To Be Effective Against Multiple Tumors (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    This doesn't sound that terrible for poor people on the long run, though. Rich people will stay alive and inbreed with this genetic defect, while poor people will get selectively removed from the gene pool.

  21. Re:How is it reckless? on Developer Accidentally Deletes Production Database On Their First Day On The Job (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    But this company had a very erroneous fault control strategy and/or execution. The CTO was definitely not on the ball.

  22. How triangulation works for objects 3 bill. lightyears away. Wouldn't any triangle on Earth seem like a single dot for such a distance?

  23. Re: Article 2? on 61 Mayors Commit To Adopt, Honor and Uphold Paris Climate Accord After US Pulls Out (curbed.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you don't live in any of those cities, then it is not your business. The city spends its own citizen's taxes on the city.
    If you live in one of those cities, you should be happy they try to poison you less by decreasing smog emitted by the city.
    I have absolutely no idea, why would you have any problem with this. If you are a jobless coal miner go and enter a chinese reeducation programme (in case you want to work) for building solar panels/wind turbines OR vote for basic income (in case you don't want to work).

  25. Re:So I was right... how about an apology? on Hackers Have Targeted Both the Trump Organization And Democrat Election Data (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    When he realizes, he has been gamed, his wrath will be unspeakable. When he realizes he is a cock holster, he just opens his mouth wider. I'm betting on the former.
