  2. pepper spray ban on 24 Amazon Workers Sent To Hospital After Robot Accidentally Unleashes Bear Spray · · Score: 1

    in 3, 2, 1...

  3. Re:Allow? on FCC Paves the Way For Improved GPS Accuracy (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, the FCC talks about allowing receive-only ground stations. I was surprised by the fact, that they think that they control the receiving side.

  4. here is the interactive one https://www.jack-reed.com/proj...

  5. i need two things on Streaming TV is Beginning To Look a Lot Like Cable (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    * no commerials for paid content
    * no subscribtion fee, I want to pay only for things I have watched, like one or two movies per month

  6. I can drink my beer, eat my food and I don't have to watch loud ads for which I have paid, what? Also I have to spend time getting to cinema which I could use for other purposes.

  7. Re:Microsoft Germany Headquarters on Open Source Pioneer Munich Debates Report That Suggests Abandoning Linux for Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Offer some heavy discounts and get a good PR....

  8. It should be required by some law to include hissing level in device's specification.
    I expect device without moving parts to be silent! How can I buy anything these days at all? Every electronic shit you buy comes with more or less hissing sound, wtf? I'am supposed to pump glue in every shit device I own? Can't it be done on the manufacturer side? Is it considered a defect?
    In my opinion it is not normal for laptop, phone, charger or any device low power device, except if you are running some kind of powerplant at home.
    I feel like we neeed some hissing device database, otherwise there is no way to know before buying.

  9. I thought everybody used torrents these days...

  10. If we assume that ISP is neutral, why this can't already be done by client side QoS? Limit you torrent and your web will load as if nothing is hogging your bandwidth, just don't saturate your link and prioritize traffic you care the most! Why do you need to make existing stuff so complex?

  11. Re:filesystem feature on Turkish Journalist Jailed For Terrorism Was Framed, Forensic Report Shows (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You can argue like that indefinitely about anything. At least you can not siply copy files over, you have to backdoor your target.

  12. filesystem feature on Turkish Journalist Jailed For Terrorism Was Framed, Forensic Report Shows (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    while reading this article, it realized that it could be possible to create filesystem feature which would not encrypt but sign all files when password is provided during mounting, otherwise fs would work in read only mode, this feature could prove that files where created by owner of password and planting evidence like this would be impossible and this would not break any laws, the fs contents are always accessible in read-only mode without password. maybe something like this already exists?

  13. Re:Where I live, OpenStreetMap is much better... on What Happened to Google Maps? (justinobeirne.com) · · Score: 1

    I have discovered that Google Maps also have an offline mode, where you can select an area on map and download it.

  14. new 0days on US Begins Dropping 'Cyberbombs' On ISIS (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    time to set up my ISIS honeypot for some fresh 0days.

  15. Re: "mass market affordable car" on Elon Musk Announces $35,000 Tesla Model 3 Electric Car · · Score: 1

    I would say, that upstream is more controllable by goverment than any individual car, also I don't like to breathe in that black smoke from car in front of me and not all electricity is produced by burning coal especially when country has some natural advantages in producing it in different way.

  16. Re:Fascinating stuff ... on Study: Mice Gain Weight In Cold Temperatures Due To Gut Changes (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    I think they would feed mice food not human as this is not about diet.

  17. download is the only option on The Pirate Bay Now Let You Stream Movies and TV, Not Just Download · · Score: 1

    I have tried popcorn time and I can say that you can stream only popular stuff to begin with because you need plenty of seeders for your chosen quality which is a problem, also internet connection problem in the middle of your movie/show would be catastrophic, atleast for me. So I can only recommend downloading otherwise be prepared to be frustraited.

  18. "..while also letting you save videos to watch offline on your phone or tablet and play videos in the background."
    I am already doing that before viewing any lengthy video to avoid any interruptions, I wonder if they will change the way playback is working to prevent that, rigth now I just open page info->media and viola!

  19. make shure not to run your data cables along AC power cables, otherwise you risk of getting an "alien crosstalk" and your data rates will degrade.

  20. without surgery on Laser Eye Surgery, Revisited 10 Years Later · · Score: 1

    Here are tons of smart people, I don't see anybody talking about training eyes - recovering without surgery. Of course not always it is possible, but I know that I it is possible to get very good results without altering your body irreversible. Everybody seems to be lazy nowdays and it takes more than 15 minutes once, you have to do your eye training for 30 min daily.

  21. small linux partition on Ask Slashdot: Networked Back-Up/Wipe Process? · · Score: 1

    I once had to manage 30 PCs with Windows where users needed an easy way to quickly install one or another image on the machine. So I made that every computer had a small (few hundred Mb) partition at the beginning of disk with stripped down linux installation, instead of running init when linux started my script was executed where I had everything scripted (which image to transfer in which direction etc etc), and I just added necessary boot options to grub menu so that users can easly pick a task.

  22. carmagedon on The Most Violent Video Games of All Time · · Score: 1

    I don't know why this article is not mentioning carmagedon, it is mo much fun to kill in this game.
