  1. Re:It would do them good. on US Army Could Waive Combat Training For Hackers · · Score: 2

    all we really need is a good group of Hot Drill Instructors then we could get them into shape fairly quickly.

    Otherwise think Combat/Field bonuses (heck make it a GAME hmm Americas Army is still running right??).

    "All Right You Grubs most of you kick ass in Games. Well Speaking as your Game Master i would like to tell you that this game You HAVE ONE LIFE and my job is to see to it that you can handle being deployed to the Field. Now as a Hacker you must be able to travel with THIS PACK IN ARMOUR because that Infantry Grunt might not be able to take the Enemy Out before he can take YOU out. ...."

  2. Re:noPhoto license plate rim defeats these cameras on Out With the Red-Light Cameras, In With the Speeding Cameras · · Score: 1

    and the correct response to either camera is to write a law stating

    "At no time shall any device or material obscure the license plate with the exception of parts of the vehicle as designed by the Manufacturer. The penalty for this shall be considering the vehicle to be without tags thus subject to full penalties thereof as listed in %local law cite%."

    im sure an actual law will be a lot longer but you get the point.

  3. Place Your bets Everyone!! on Aereo Gets OK From Bankruptcy Court To Auction Technology Assets · · Score: 1

    Okay i can see this going down a few ways 1 at 16:55 on feb 28 the broadcasters deny the highest bidder (thus allowing ongoing expenses to suck what little value there is left out) 2 the "highest bidder" is one of A secretly the broadcasters themselves B another company that just happens to share staff with the broadcasters 3 a sudden disaster takes out the Aria location with most of the actual assets In all cases the broadcasters will within 9 months offer a service that allows Aria type functions for an actually reasonable cost. so who wants to set ODDS??

  4. Re:Oh, I wouldn't worry about it. on 2015 Could Be the Year of the Hospital Hack · · Score: 2

    of course some of the problem is at the receptionists desk. Some of the local medical places will ask you for First name Last name and Birthday to try to find your record(s) but if you happen to have somebody with the same First Last and Birthday they may or may not bother to ask you for any other info. I have had a time getting seperated from the other guy (he is Edward i am Laurence). If it is supported by your E-Records system grab a copy of your "Lucy" record and have that one you (does anybody sell a flash drive cheaply that would be recognized by say an EMT??).

  5. Re:Congrats to the school, and mostly to the kids on School Defied Google and US Government, Let Boys Program White House Xmas Trees · · Score: 1

    actually truth be told the whole idea of a mid winter celebration was taken from the Pagan/Wiccan/Druids On another note the Proper nativity scene would have (depending on scale) the Magi NEXT DOOR or DOWN THE BLOCK. Oh and in march/april lets chat about Easter

  6. Plus you have trivial bypasses anyway on Chaos Computer Club Claims It Can Reproduce Fingerprints From People's Photos · · Score: 1

    lets see you have the "service tech" that comes in for X (GHod knows what all he might have in his tool box) You have the High Dollar Client that comes with his 6 year old daughter (who has Kali Nethunter installed on that sparkly purple phone of hers) any time you have a NOT ONE OF US in your site (down to somebody that works for your company but at a smaller/remote office) you need to be careful. And then you have the Victoria Secret exploit that can be used on most adult males. Its almost like some sites need to have Security/Secure IT LIVING ON SITE (think Monastery)

  7. Re:Dwarf Universe? on Hubble Reveals a Previously Unknown Dwarf Galaxy Just 7 Million Light Years Away · · Score: 1

    there is a neat trick that sciencey folks can do called "Make it a jargon term" that can bypass 99% of the PC folks. as fas as 7Mega light years being "mere" well when you are dealing with Billions and Billions then stuff that is only millions is mere.

  8. Re:Bogus algorithm on The World of YouTube Bubble Sort Algorithm Dancing · · Score: 1

    i guess its similar to the way logarithms are taught where you spend like 3 days learning how to deal with random bases when only 2 are normally actually used.

    and Bubble Sort actually has a defined endpoint unlike say Random Sort

  9. A Simple legal change that would help on Seattle Police Held Hackathon To Redact Footage From Body Cameras · · Score: 1

    Make it law at a federal level that if a case hinges on the presence or absence of video then the case automatically goes in the civilians favor (unless the video shows otherwise). And the video must be uncut and continuous (no taking a couple seconds out to "improve" the video).

  10. the best reply would be on Sony Demands Press Destroy Leaked Documents · · Score: 1

    "We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram" besides given that there are most likely NGigacopies running about of parts or all of the dump how likely is it that this would even be in the same building as "working to contain the breach"?

  11. Re:What the hell is wrong with Millennials?! on Peru Indignant After Greenpeace Damages Ancient Nazca Site · · Score: 1

    The universe where "making them livable" means

    1 Close to shotgunning the existing remnants of "good folks" because they must be The Problem.
    2 building only artsy boutique type shops (who cares about a Certified Fair Trade Vegan Coffee Shoppe when a good diner is whats needed)
    3 driving out the folks you claim to be helping (because they do not fit the New Style you are bringing)
    4 only building Loft and Condo type housing (which makes the Homeless situation worse)
    5 bringing in outside workers because the local workers do not fit The Narrative (i dare any of these projects to seek out the Homeless/Under Housed for workers)

    created by Boomers and taken as a Holy Cause by Millenials

  12. Paging Mr Smith on Time To Remove 'Philosophical' Exemption From Vaccine Requirements? · · Score: 1

    Home School Legal Defense is working on fixing that. in fact if you do not at least monitor the HSLDA website and you homeschool (in the US) then YOU ARE A MORON

  13. The Big secret to getting YOUR Luggage Safely on Are the TSA's New Electronic Device Screenings Necessary? · · Score: 4, Informative

    http://deviating.net/firearms/... Airlines really really REALLY do not want to lose a bag with a "gun" in it. and just for a Chapter and Verse copy of this see http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-in... so if you are traveling with valuables (nice costumes of some sort??) slip a pistol into the bag (and properly declare same).

  14. Re:Sexual Harassment shouldn't cost us knowledge on MIT Removes Online Physics Lectures and Courses By Walter Lewin · · Score: 1

    " I have nothing particular against Obama, other than his overall impotence as a president" and you say this like its a BAD THING whats the chances that if he was more effective that his "good policies" would be increased??

  15. Re:End of flight as we know it on US Navy Authorizes Use of Laser In Combat · · Score: 1

    power can be generated as needed (heck it could be "GREEN") bullets need to be made stored and transported.

  16. no they are running 12 THOUSAND year old parts on their rockets (okay so those are different kinds of rockets but...)

  17. Re:Yeesh on Programmer Father Asks: What Gets Little Girls Interested In Science? · · Score: 1

    so My suggestion (worth exactly what you are paying for it) is to get your younger daughter into Ballet but have a chat with whoever does her costumes to see about threading EL Wire into her leotard and or tutu (have her older sister help with things). Fairy Princess with Glowy stuff ? BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

  18. Re: its about time. on The Sony Pictures Hack Was Even Worse Than Everyone Thought · · Score: 1

    i would put odds that https://www.victoriassecret.co... was on the supplies list for this hack (or some similar store)

  19. Lemme translate this for you on Comcast Forgets To Delete Revealing Note From Blog Post · · Score: 1

    Okay so we have noticed that we do not overlap TW in any nontrivial location so your bribes will only INCREASE since you will be getting a LOCKOUT!! bonus. So when are you up for reelection again??

  20. You are not a Chosen one FOAD! on Ask Slashdot: Non-Coders, Why Aren't You Contributing To Open Source? · · Score: 1

    lets see 1 having convoluted compile instructions (oh you need toolchain 45.35d.friday.afternoon which is not downloadable from Toolchains website unless you can do a CVS pull and a fresh compile) 2 going DARK and nearly completely changing the setup 3 breaking features and taking weeks to fix 4 general arrogance (i couldn't have made that error it must be something on your end) 5 code that is written to confuse folks (why shouldn't you spread the code for a feature across 19 different files??) 6 platform arrogance (oh you are running WindBlows well then the fix is low priority)

  21. Re:I wonder.... on Music Publishers Sue Cox Communications Over Piracy · · Score: 1

    well more to the point if they dare to pop up they will have The Nazgul (IBMs) lawyers lunching on them. Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to have IBM suing you AS A MATTER OF STRATEGIC PRINCIPAL??

  22. SO SAY WE ALL!! on In a Self-Driving Future, We May Not Even Want To Own Cars · · Score: 1

    I luck out in that i work in a place were strong perfume is NOT ALLOWED so it is limited to when one of the products is broken open but yes some of the stuff makes you want to have a gas mask.

  24. Re:So Sick Of Whiny College Kids on Ohio University Blocks P2P File Sharing · · Score: 1

    easy way to solve the "but i have a legit need for bittorrent" have some sort of system to request a torrent then the gateway server runs the actual torrent and then mirrors it to the inside (tracking who/what pairs)

    something you may want to see about if you have a good chunk of land ask them how much they will pay to RENT a chunk of your land for a GSM tower you may find that the price will be enough for a fiber line
