  1. Re:Except the far-right ADF you say? on Hundreds of German Lawmakers Targeted in Mass Cyber Attack (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    There is nothing special happening, just that the leaked data (the leaks started piece wise last year) did not get that much attention until now, when some politicians suddenly got private calls and some more well known Twitter account now got hacked.

  2. Re:here is the magnet link to the torrent ... on Hundreds of German Lawmakers Targeted in Mass Cyber Attack (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    FTR: the link is only some old 911 bullshit

  4. So what? Get C.H.I.P. on The $5 Onion Omega2 Gives Raspberry Pi a Run For Its Money (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    because Chip Has Incredible Possibilities and C.H.I.P. is only slightly larger and only $9 and has Bluetooth onboard.

  5. Re:Is he responsible for the pain? on Autonomous Robot Intentionally Hurts People To Make Them Bleed (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    And even a bear trap which is not working all the time :-) BTW: Her is a link to the story: http://www.fastcompany.com/305... The PainMachine was much more fun

  6. Re:The Raspberry Pi is obsolete on Raspberry Pi Zero Gains Camera Support, Keeps $5 Price (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately your Android toy applications are not what many SBC users demand. Many (if not most) want GPIO pins to have a real base to build own systems. Your Android will have a bit problems to connect a temperature sensor, infrared camera or whatever you can buy for no fortune in your electrical supply store next door. Where I have to admit I am no big Pi neither – sticking to the (still new) $9 C.H.I.P. SBC looks much more promising to me, and be it just because of on board wifi and bluetooth...

    argh, "en txt" was french and obviously stood for "in txt", and the published versions are in dutch

    Nevertheless an english version has just been published by Isabelle Attard and Olivier Ertzscheid in .txt and ePub format.

    Link from TFA to How the Baseless 'Terrorists Communicating Over Playstation 4' Rumor Got Started describing that there still is no evidence for this, also writing about some more ridiculous ideas of how some media thought they might have communicated, e.g. writing messages to each other by firing bullets on a wall in Call of Duty

  10. Rating something only raters have a look at? on Why You Should Be Suspicious of Online Movie Ratings (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 1

    Doh, which normal person would have a look at some rating of some foreigners before entering the cinema? These ratings are from raters for raters, so why do they take the effort to manipulate...

  15. Re:I live in Austria, first thing I hear about thi on Vast Nazi Facility Uncovered In Austria; Purported A-Bomb Development Site · · Score: 2

    dug by 320.000 inmates that died from it. Or maybe these numbers are simply completely bogus too. The actual number of victims in KZ Gusen (I + II + III) was 44.600

    regarding the 44.600 you seem to forget, that KZ Gusen has been a part of KZ Mauthausen-Gusen, where the number of 320.000 murdered imprisoners has been taking of, like TFA also states.

  16. Re:Every time XKCD 936 is Mentioned on Password Security: Why the Horse Battery Staple Is Not Correct · · Score: 1

    "Choosing a password should be something you do very infrequently" ?!
    Pardon me?
    Any stinky little site needs passwords for any senseless actions – and if you do not want to have a single-login-plz-hack-me account on the big central login sites, *and* you do not want to have all your passwords hacked at the same time in your password "safe" – what else would you do, instead of making a good private rule how to back-calculate your password from site names or whatever.

    This security researcher cited will search much longer until a bit of security will be found by him

  17. Uber drivers in Germany threatend to get fined on California Declares Carpooling Via Ride-Share Services Illegal · · Score: 1

    So the times get finally a bit harder for this services ("They steal our jobs"). In Germany Uber now got forbidden completely, as one needs generally a special permission to transport people for money. A driver already got threatened to pay 250000 + 20000 Euros if keeping on driving people via UberPop.

  21. Re:Don't know what 'uncanny valley' feels like? Se on Famous 'Uncanny Valley' Essay Translated, Published In Full · · Score: 1

    Agreed that it's no humanoid, but thats not always necessary to get trapped in the valley. As Octavia sends out social signals through its somewhat cartoon like face, your emotional brain is triggered. The converse signals received from the unhuman moving then sends you right into the uncannines.

  22. Don't know what 'uncanny valley' feels like? See.. on Famous 'Uncanny Valley' Essay Translated, Published In Full · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ... the video of the robot Octavia in action to get a feeling of it. Developed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) it looks so much like a mixture of Alien (out of the famous movie) and the cute Nao that it is the most scary thing I ever saw moving.

    This thing is so far in the Uncanny Valley - you could also just call him "Uncle Vanney".
    It's look is strange enough that my brain just can't decide wether it's cute or evil, so decides to panic and makes we want to flee immediatly - and might it be into the open flames...

    (Just to be on the safe side: I for one welcome our new firefighting Octavia lords)

  23. The questions is: why is Sanger allowed to publish on Obama Order Sped Up Wave of Cyberattacks Against Iran · · Score: 1

    What does the U.S. administration think they will win of it when the book is published ritgh now? Thats the question.
    If they would not like it to be published now the book would not be published ever - or am I too unrealistic?

    Or does Mr. Sander just qualify to be the next one being accused of rape of some poor lower class girl? As this seems to be the only modern answer to denigrate someone so that every normal person is indignant.

  24. Note that it only depends on word picking on Supreme Court Rules Julian Assange May Be Extradited · · Score: 1

    From the Judgement:
    " “judicial authority”, in the context of the Framework Decision, and other European instruments, bears a broad and autonomous meaning. It describes any person or body authorised to play a part in the judicial process."

    "in respect of both the English words “judicial authority” and the equivalent words in the French text. Those words are “autorité judiciaire”. In the final version of the Framework Decision the same weight has to be applied to the English and the French versions. It is, however, a fact that the French draft was prepared before the English and that, in draft, in the event of conflict, the meaning of the English version had to give way to the meaning of the French. The critical phrase does not bear the same range of meanings in the English language as in the French"

    So its all about word picking if the attorney is a "judicial authority” or not.

    By the way - does the chief secretary also "play a part in the judicial process" and can therefore ask for your extradition? Never minding the national laws of what would have been done to get a national warrant of arrest?
