    He was talking fallout the game series, not fallout as in nuclear.

  2. Re:Future market on Tesla Model S Has Been Hacked · · Score: 1

    There are too many environmental protection laws now, with out sensors and other various electronics there would be no way to get those type of cars qualified under the various exhaust rules. I'm not sure you could even get such a vehicle qualified under an off road only provision either, because I know that lawn mowers, atv's and the such also have some kind of rules as to how much they pollute.

    I can buy almost any car from the 70's or 80's that's in half way descent condition for less that $10k and it would qualify.

  4. No problems for me yet on Windows 10 Upgrade Strategies, Pitfalls and Fixes As MSFT Servers Are Hit Hard · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've done 2 machines, my surface tablet, which went super easy, the only issue that I noticed was I had to adjust the sensitivity for the pen. I actually like the handwriting recognition alot, I'm still getting used to it a bit, but it's very good. I've also updated a 3 year old lenovo laptop, no problems with that either, both updates went very smooth.

    I'd be more worried about the sea water rising and covering them over any erosion that may happen.

  6. Re:No on Will Autonomous Cars Be the Insurance Industry's Napster Moment? · · Score: 1

    Actually I believe the opposite will happen, if you get a self driving car you premiums will go up for the foreseeable future. Insurance companies will say that "well your car has more electronics in it, so it's more expensive to repair in case you do have an accident." They will probably do this until there is at least 75% of car on the road that are self driving, and that won't happen for at least another 30 years.

  7. Re:Would YOU want a camera on you all day? on Amtrak Installing Cameras To Watch Train Engineers · · Score: 1

    No one should expect privacy of any kind at work while they are doing their jobs. It doesn't matter if you want a camera on you or not, if your are at work and doing your job, the camera should not matter. If your are on your lunch break, that is the only time you should expect some privacy, but during the rest of the day it shouldn't matter. You are being paid to do a job, and if your employer wants to put up one of even a hundred cameras to make sure your doing it, then that is their prerogative. The cameras shouldn't matter unless they physically get in the way of what your doing, anyone that cares about the more about the cameras than making sure the job gets done right, you probably don't want to have as an employee anyway.

  8. Re:Love it on The Body Cam Hacker Who Schooled the Police · · Score: 2

    I'm sorry you want privacy, well that is way out the window, your phone, the 5 bazillion cameras already on the street and in every store, that little device that you stick to you car that pays your tolls, and any other device that I'm forgetting, are already recording your every move.

    Once people realized you were timing them, they started to do everything quicker because they thought it would make themselves look good.

    Yes, everything is so easy to understand in the constitution, like how about the right to bear arms? I want my bear arms, I'm not sure if I would hang them on a wall or wear them like gloves. :P

  12. Re:Humerous?` on FBI Accuses Researcher of Hacking Plane, Seizes Equipment · · Score: 1

    I could almost understand if this guy was frustrated because he found exploits and then tried to go to Boeing/Airbus and then got stonewalled. My next step would just be to go to some news outlet, they would pick up a story about planes not being safe in a second, not scare the shit out of everyone on a plane that your on.

  13. Re:The only reason this SWATTING nonsense works on Watching a "Swatting" Slowly Unfold · · Score: 1

    Ok, so what do you you expect the police to do? They got a call of a bomb threat with hostages, I think they did the right thing. If they send in one untrained patrol cop, and it was real and everyone gets killed, then everyone would be saying they didn't do enough. They called in people that are trained to handle these situations.

  14. I buy gaming mice just for everyday use. on What Makes the Perfect Gaming Mouse? · · Score: 1

    I only buy mice from the gaming section, even for everyday use they are more comfortable and last way longer. I also have large hands, so most regular mice are a bit too small for me.

  15. Re:64? on "Descent" Goes For a Crowdfunding Reboot (and a Linux Version) · · Score: 1

    64 people is a lot, sometimes too much, first you have the chaos for all the players, then if a couple of guys lag in an 8x8 game and its ok, but getting 64 people with a good internet connection in the same game is almost impossible some times.

  18. They pretty much tried this already on Microsoft Closes Gap Between Windows 10 and Xbox One With "Crossplay" Plans · · Score: 2

    So they are trying to say we can play the next Halo or Assassins creed game on the xbox, then jump to pc or phone. Realistically that's never going to happen, what will happen is you can take the companion app that alot of games have now, and write that to every platform, so you can run them anywhere. Games that a great on one platform NEVER translate well to a different one, a game that is great on your 5 in phone, will suck ass while playing it on the xbox, and vise versa.

    You pretty much need an account to something with any smart phone you'll get. It's not that big a deal, you can opt out of pretty much everything.

  24. Re:NO on Should We Really Try To Teach Everyone To Code? · · Score: 1

    That will happen, but when the stuff you can buy at walmart will cost you $5 instead of the $1.50 it costs now. Yes I'm sure you can make $80000 the first year as a programmer, but how much school debt do you have, and if the current pool of programmers increased 2 or 3 fold, do you seriously think the average will still be $80000?

  25. NO on Should We Really Try To Teach Everyone To Code? · · Score: 1

    We need to stop wasting our time thinking that everyone needs to know code, or some other high computer skills. What we need are people learning how to drive trucks I'm not talking about a pickup, I'm talking about commercial tractor trailers. In the US the next big workforce shortage is going the be drivers holding a CDL license, it almost already is, or is depending on who your talking to. I manage a small trucking company and I don't have near enough drivers, I know of companies that need to hire thousands of drivers ever year to replace their current ones that will retire with in the next 10 years. The bubble of the low cost shipping will burst soon, because there will not be enough drivers to move everything, so the only products that move will be the ones that pay the most. I'm not trying to sound like a recruiter or anything but ANYONE can go to a trucking school and take a few month class for $5000 or less and make $50000 their first year. We need to stop telling all our young kids that they need to go to college because they really don't, there are plenty of jobs that don't require degrees that you can make good money in, if your willing to get your hands a little dirty. The self driving trucks are realistically decades away, for cars I'm sure they will come sooner, but I guarantee that there won't be any trucks driving cross country by themselves for a while still.
