  1. Can also be used to shut down riots on Smartphone Kill-Switch Could Save Consumers $2.6 Billion · · Score: 1

    Which is why they want it.

    Every day, in every way, we become more and more like East Germany.

  2. Re:Editors on MariaDB 10 Released, Now With NoSQL Support · · Score: 1

    POPL POPR dang buffers full

  3. Re:If you can't beat 'em, join 'em on NSA Infiltrated RSA Deeper Than Imagined · · Score: 1

    Oh, trust me, GCHQ and the other agencies weakened your protocols as well.

    Ask not what you can do for your corporation, ask only how high should you jump, sheeple.

  4. Use of the past tense - Infiltrated on NSA Infiltrated RSA Deeper Than Imagined · · Score: 1

    I think you fail to understand how deep the rabbit hole goes, Neo.

  5. Re:If they say so on Microsoft Promises Not To Snoop Through Email · · Score: 2

    I can sleep now

    You forgot to turn out the light.

    Your Microsoft Home will turn it off for you for only 10 cents a day to save you 0.001 cents in electric bills.

    By the way, the xBox One loves your new PJs. Pics uploaded to NSA at no charge!

  6. Re:Oh sure. Good as gold that promise on Microsoft Promises Not To Snoop Through Email · · Score: 2

    Microsoft don't need no steenking warrants!

  7. LibreOffice is even more free on Why Buy Microsoft Milk When the Google Cow Is Free? · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine works on most of the documentation for it, and she does it for free too.

    Without all the IP rights being given away to someone whose corporate motto is "First Do Evil".

    Why not that?

  8. There is no Binary choice on Security Industry Incapable of Finding Firmware Attackers · · Score: 1

    You said they either find the firmware hackers or they don't.

    You missed the "it's a feature, not a bug" solution.

    Please go back to Logic School.

  9. Re:this is why I wear game day face dazzle paint on New Facial Recognition Software May Detect Looming Road Rage · · Score: 1

    Only sheep won't have dazzle paint

  10. Re:All fine until they crash on someone on Fly an Aerobatic Quadcopter with Curtis Youngblood (Video) · · Score: 1

    I think you'll find that's not necessarily true.

    Unless you're VERY myopic.

    I take it you've never lived in a 40+ acre tree farm.

  11. Re:All fine until they crash on someone on Fly an Aerobatic Quadcopter with Curtis Youngblood (Video) · · Score: 1

    My dad lives on something like 46 acres. I grew up in places where we had anywhere from 10 to 50 acres.

    If I can see it, it's over my land.

  12. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN or Robots Are My Family on Fly an Aerobatic Quadcopter with Curtis Youngblood (Video) · · Score: 1

    Drones aren't human.

    They are tools.

  13. Re:All fine until they crash on someone on Fly an Aerobatic Quadcopter with Curtis Youngblood (Video) · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

    Your right to drones ends when it's in recording range of me or over my property.

  14. Just accept our HTML5 overlords on Flash Is Dead; Long Live OpenFL! · · Score: 1

    It will be better for everyone concerned if you do, citizen.

  15. All fine until they crash on someone on Fly an Aerobatic Quadcopter with Curtis Youngblood (Video) · · Score: 1

    Like the chopper that crashed on top of a truck and lit four cars on fire did today in Seattle at the Space Needle.

    Think of it dropping from the sky onto a small baby when it's high up.

  16. Just disband it on Church Committee Members Say New Group Needed To Watch NSA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That's what you do with rogue agencies.

    Back when I was in the Canadian Army, we disbanded entire units, burned their colors, demoted their officers, and punished the guilty for torturing civilians in Africa.

    Do that with the NSA. Starting at the top, with long prison sentences in gulags.

  17. this is why I wear game day face dazzle paint on New Facial Recognition Software May Detect Looming Road Rage · · Score: 1

    defeats all the facial recognition software, which already has a high failure rate.

    Basically, if it worked in WW II or in Korea, it still works.

    Welcome to Eastern Germany, Amerikka!

  18. Greenspan Lies on Gates Warns of Software Replacing People; Greenspan Says H-1Bs Fix Inequity · · Score: 1

    Greenspan Lies.

    Analysis shows most H1-Bs are being used to outsource US jobs to contractors from India and China.

    The more worrying thing is they're now slurping up all the L1, L2, and other education waivers that real US universities and colleges need for real students just to employ wage farmers from other countries in America.

    (obviously my personal opinion)

  19. Told you it was my dad on Dorian Nakamoto Officially Denies That He Created Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    Next time I'll make you think it's someone in Russia and you'll go after him, never realizing it's my dad.

  20. Re:Name an auto manufacturer that hasn't failed? on Elon Musk Addresses New Jersey's Tesla Store Ban · · Score: 1

    Kerosene - we used to use that a lot when I was a kid. Part of the distillation tower column.

  21. Re:Name an auto manufacturer that hasn't failed? on Elon Musk Addresses New Jersey's Tesla Store Ban · · Score: 1

    The first US cars were electric ones, actually.

    Later they used steam.

    Gasoline came third.

  22. Re:Antitrust much? on Google and Microsoft Both Want To Stop Dual-Boot Windows/Android Device · · Score: 1

    Silly rabbit, the US hasn't used anti-trust law enforcement since Reagan.

  23. Information just wants to *SIGNAL DROP* on Google and Microsoft Both Want To Stop Dual-Boot Windows/Android Device · · Score: 1

    Information just wants to be free.

    Or at least 1/20th the cost we get overcharged for substandard service in the US while real First World nations get real Internet, real dual boot, and real security.

    You can always dual boot the other way and not "tell" the Win side about the removable 2 TB SDD you have.

  24. Re:Unconstitutional in WA state without a warrant on Cameras On Cops: Coming To a Town Near You · · Score: 1

    Mark my words, your state constitution will be changed or overruled shortly. ;)

    They tried that before.

    SCOTUS upheld our rights.

  25. Unconstitutional in WA state without a warrant on Cameras On Cops: Coming To a Town Near You · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Sorry, but our state constitution in Washington State is pretty darned clear on that.

    You can't record people without a warrant. Or their express permission.

    That includes you Google Glassholes.
