  1. Re:How? on Cameron Tells Pornography Websites To Block Access By Children Or Face Closure · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So, you're looking for porn, do you pick:

    Site A: In the UK which wants you credit card info.
    Site B: In Uruguay which is happy to show you lots of free porn, no questions asked.

    possibly with a regulator to oversee and enforce controls.

    Please enter you gov't ID here [ ] [OK]

    Then click ok so that the gov't can confirm that you are authorised to watch gay midget porn.

  3. Cameron you complete fucking moron, (at least) three things:

    1. Most porn sites are not in the UK.
    2. Computers can't tell if people are lying.
    3. Most people want free porn and are too lazy or too smart to be giving potential criminals their personal details.

    Nice to see someone has a brain, I am getting so sick of all this AI can do this, robots can do that crap that only exists in sci-fi books and movies.

    I expected slash-dotters to be better at differentiating between reality and fiction, clearly I was wrong. All of a sudden we hear that it will be easy for (these non-existent) robots to learn human psychology - something more than half the population is bad at.

    Windows 10 generates a unique advertising ID for each user on each device. That can be used by developers and ad networks to profile you.

    Yeah, thanks Microsoft, that's exactly what we all wanted.

    This is one OS I think I'll give a miss.

    What is required is smart car chargers that charge the car when grid output is high, people could have the option between charge ASAP and smart-charge with the default being smart charge.

    The solution is just waiting to be implemented.

    There should be municipal chargers, you park your car, you charge it, regardless of where you live. If you have your own garage then you use your own charger. If you park on the street then you use a municipal charger.

    In the future there should be incentives to use car charging systems that monitor supply and charge when grid output is high particularly from solar.

    I agree, most GMO foods are harmless

    Based on faith not proof, we won't know if each GMO is safe until it's been tested on humans for a couple of decades or more. You accuse people of having ' paranoid delusions' but treat GM science like a religion assuming it can do no wrong.

    My bank doesn't use a simple fixed password system, it uses drop down boxes where it picks some digits from a long pin. It's this pin and the fixed password that I memorise instead of store.

  17. Re:Whistle blower on Two Years Later, White House Responds To 'Pardon Edward Snowden' Petition · · Score: 2

    What you don't see is that the positive consequences of his actions far outweigh the negative consequences, I have yet to see any proof of any extreme negative consequences.

    The government line is utterly disingenuous, Edward Snowden could have protested sure and he would have been fired and that would have been the end of it, the public would have been none the wiser to the massive gov't surveillance going on. If Edward Snowden had simply complained to the media they would have ignored him and the government would have denied anything he said or more likely they would have simply remained silent.

    He should be pardoned because he is a whistle-blower, he should be pardoned because of the positive consequences of his actions.

    There's no way I would remember all those, especially as they are randomly generated strings.

  20. Re:Scripts that interact with passwords fields aws on A Plea For Websites To Stop Blocking Password Managers · · Score: 1

    The difference is the online password manager requires I supply my password to them - weakness/trust issues there. With an online password manager you have to trust that they are hacker-proof (unlikely) and you have to assume that all staff are trustworthy, and you have to assume that security services also are keeping your info safe.

    Backing up my password is as easy as emailing myself the encrypted passwords to a couple of email addresses - takes a few seconds. My password database doesn't require that I be online, very useful if a internet/network info is in the password database.
