  2. How about a brick? on DARPA Wants Ideas On Weaponizing Off-the-Shelf Tech (ieee.org) · · Score: 3, Funny

    How about a brick? You can pick it up and throw it at someone's head.

  3. Do we need all this storage capacity? No, this is serious question. We already have NSA admitting that all the data they collected is beyond their ability to analyze. I can assume Google and the likes are largely in the same boat.

    That is, we can produce a lot of data, but what if is it all GIGO?

  4. Agreed to hire CSO? on Home Depot Will Pay Up To $19.5 Million For Massive 2014 Data Breach (csoonline.com) · · Score: 2

    Agreed to hire CSO? Did they also agreed to stop using stone tools and clay pots as part of their core business process? Just asking to make sure.

    Actually, Ukraine had a treaty where both Russia and US guaranteed its territorial integrity in exchange for post-Soviet nuclear disarmament.

    Please, you know that such requirement there specifically to secure H1B hire for quarter pay.

    Pacifist nations get conquered unless they pay to non-pacifist nations to protect them. Blame human nature, but dare not to ignore it.

    It is no longer clear that independent Japan is more valuable to US than trade with China, as such protection is less guaranteed. Look at much weaker Russia getting away with annexing parts of Georgia and Ukraine that only resulted in anemic sanctions and rhetoric.

    More likely a virtual rendering of an endless roman galley, with Amazon employees chained to oars and Jeff whipping random non-performer.

    Next combine this with metadata gathered by NSA, and we could know exactly whom to show penis enlargement adds.

    Our genome is spaghetti code of the worst kind. If God exists, he is horrible coder.

    Occam's Razor encourages us to look for more ordinary explanations first.

    Yes, if we apply Occam's Razor, we can deduce that this is just Zorlax the Mighty trying to connect on LinkedIn.

    Hugh Pickens is definitely better than Whom Shall Not Be Named, so I think your complaining is misplaced.

    As long as S, J, and W keys work your keyboard is not racist.

  14. Autonomous Weapons = High Value Target on New Report Cites Dangers of Autonomous Weapons · · Score: 2

    Autonomous Weapons are high value targets for hacking. More so than banking. I don't envy poor souls that were tasked with meeting such design challenges.

    Imagine you had to design portable ATM that has to operate flawlessly even when moved to a crack den without having reliable connectivity to C&C.

    Dirty console peasants are at it again. Did they finally moved past 8-bit graphics?

    Are you really trying to justify using obsolete hardware by claiming that standardization and wide adoption is better than, you know, actual performance?

    Using car analogy, you are saying out that using old Civic is better than Ferrari, because not everybody could handle driving a Ferrari? Well, I know which one I would rather drive.

    It is something I have considered, but I believe you would be out of luck. Unless you are an especially talented PI you would end up knowing a lot about my believes and opinions, and how they have changed over years, but nothing about who I am. I think this aspect is important and what differentiates /. from social sites.

    I certainly belong to /. but I can happily do so without ever bringing up my real identity into it. I am happy being a dog.

    Dear Frosty Piss,

    Facebook knows exactly jack shit about me. This is because I am paranoid with history and value my privacy over convenience. I am certain you can relate.

    Facebook gets its content from users. Blame them. This is what the public wants.

    Absolutely not. Users didn't sign up for this, they signed up to stay in touch with their friends. Facebook pulled bait and switch. At no point do they actually explain the implications of what their users are doing.
