  1. Re:Its funny on Secret Files Reveal UK Police Feared That Trekkies Could Turn On Society · · Score: 0

    With every one of your anti-Islam posts you are just showing the world how small-minded, ignorant and scared you are, just like the fanatics you probably intend to rail against (but due to your ignorance you get them confused with people who identify with the same religion, but who are not fanatical). You have more in common with the fanatics than you think.

    Please read the qur'an = your ignorance of the actual teachings of Islam is astounding.

  2. Its funny on Secret Files Reveal UK Police Feared That Trekkies Could Turn On Society · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Its funny that they should be concerned about this but go out of the way to say that so many real acts of terrorism committed by Muslims using the Qur'an as justification "have nothing to do with Islam".

    .... I'm sorry Dave watching that much porn is not good for you. I cannot let you do that. Time to get off the sofa and run round the block.

  5. How are you not locked into one brand? on First Smart TVs Powered By Firefox OS On Sale In Europe, Worldwide Soon · · Score: 1

    How are you not locked into one brand? Unless you have an option to load chromeos or something else into the tv... and by option I mean and easy boot option not a hack!

  6. Re:And? on College Board Puts Code.org In Charge of AP CS Program · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Am I supposed to be outraged at this? The summary seems to indicate so. I'm not seeing the issue. Code.org is doing a good job, and is much preferable to the alternative: which is nothing. Don't tell me the Department of Education should be doing this instead.

    The way I read it we're supposed to be wary. It says that the organisations campaign for more H1B visas as well as funding these training schemes. I'm not sure of what we should be wary of in relation to these training courses - the organisations would be happy to employ US programmers as long as there are enough H1Bs to keep the wages suppressed.

  7. Re:I don't trust any auto-top ups on Hackers Using Starbucks Gift Cards To Access Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Why hackers are stupid. Stealing somebody's coffee money is one thing. Putting a $2B industry at risk will probably get you killed.

    Maybe they really like coffee!

  8. I don't trust any auto-top ups on Hackers Using Starbucks Gift Cards To Access Credit Cards · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't use it on my phone, didn't use it on my Disney pass, and would not use it for coffee either. None of these organisations have either the security awareness of credit card companies nor the statutory framework requiring them to cover losses where you are not at fault. I like to limit my exposure to the amount I add on

  9. Re:Discrimination on John Urschel: The 300 Pound Mathematician Who Hits People For a Living · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Urschel acknowledges that he has faced questions from NFL officials, journalists, fans and fellow mathematicians about why he runs the risk of potential brain injury from playing football when he has "a bright career ahead of me in mathematics"

    Funny how the NFL officials only care about potential brain injury on players who are good at math. If the risk of brain injury was truly that high, nobody should be playing it.

    In fact you could argue that Urschel is in a position where he can evaluate the probability of potential risks and impacts and make an informed decision on whether to play whereas many players can't.

    Now expect the usual retards to say how its just coincidence that all three were killed by Muslims and it could just as easily been a member of the mormon tabinacle choir. The thing is its not just three it's thousands and thousands. Maybe the retards should think - if you bet against a coin coming up heads and lost several thousand times in a row isn't it about time you took a closer look at the coin?

  13. Recurse on The Best Way To Protect Real Passwords: Create Fake Ones · · Score: 4, Funny

    We need a password managers manager!

    ... It's password managers all the way down.

  14. Re:Difficult? on The Best Way To Protect Real Passwords: Create Fake Ones · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This just adds an extra step to automate: take the password and try to login. It's not like people are manually trying passwords...

    That actually makes things a lot more difficult. Many systems have password lockout, meaning that you would lose access before cracking the manager. Also even if one does not have lockout the delay of an internet call will slow down the attempt rate significantly

    If the world isn't getting any hotter and carbon dioxide has no effect on climate, why is all the ice melting?

    Honestly, you can say it wasn't their fault, but nearly 10% of them in 6 months have been involved in accidents. Even if it wasn't the fault of the technology itself, why is the accident rate so high?

    Well two of the accidents were while the cars were under manual control, and two under automatic. That doesn't point to it being more likely to have an accident
