    You laugh but I'd love to see a TV show of teams fighting each other with these in a laser tag arena.

    If I was him, next time I'd setup a system where people could donate bitcoins. Once the total reached the target amount the exploit gets released with the largest donator getting to choose who it gets released to.

    It comes with drone control & angry osama apps.

  4. Re:a graphing calculator these days... on Wikileaks Releases Docs Before Trial of TPB Founder Warg · · Score: 1

    Are prison locks or facilities even hackable?

    I dont know about prisons in Sweden but here in the UK they get access to games consoles (and France appears Xbox exclusive), satellite TV and more so I fail to see the harm in a calculator even if it was designed to be user hackable.

    Everyone saw this coming. The banks, card companies & shops just didn't care.
    Unlike purchases over £100 where the CC company is liable for half of all losses, you can bet we'll end up paying for any losses
    either directly or through price increases.

    I found that usually the rest of the 'group' of sites usually host static images and other media so theres usually no reason these sites even need cookies.

    How much would you bet that after losing to Big Asshole Corporation #1 he probably wont have the money for a lengthy court battle with Smaller Asshole Corporation #2?

  10. I love it... on Adobe Creative Suite Going Subscription-Only · · Score: 5, Interesting

    For this to work Adobe will have to 'break' older versions with patches.

    Adobe beat Microsoft to it... Adobe Rent for $50 per month.

    Microsoft said they would be doing this years ago (after people found ways to avoid paying MS Tax).
    I wonder how much Microsoft Rent will be for Windows & Office.

    It was obviously the explosion created from the enormous energy from a supergate in the galaxy Atlantis lives in.

    That would be our galaxy. It moved here in the final episode (San Francisco I think).

  12. Re:in joules. please on Scientists May Have Detected Neutrinos From Another Galaxy · · Score: 5, Informative

    FTA:
    Out of the countless detections it’s seen, two of them—nicknamed, seriously, Bert and Ernie—were phenomenally, unbelievably energetic: Each had an energy over one thousand trillion times the energy of a visible light photon. That’s huge, far larger energies than even the Large Hadron Collider can create. It’s very roughly equivalent to the energy of a raindrop hitting you on the head which may not sound like much, but remember we’re taking about a single subatomic particle with that much energy

  13. Re:Almost useless on Smartphone Used To Scan Data From Chip-Enabled Credit Cards · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They do however employ very good lawyers and lobbyists who probably ensure that any liability ends with the consumer or the store not them.

    Yeah sometimes we pass silly laws in the UK and other times they do in the States. Its like trying to figure out which pile of shit has the least offensive smell.

    Not an impossible situation (even on slashdot), just very improbable.

    It makes the AMD platform much more appealing for low power media boxes.

    That might happen but I bet it'll be a copyright issue. Some company will force google to add technology that prevents unauthorized (micropayments) recording of a copyrighted song, picture or logo. RFID or QR code would work (as well as any previous copy protection measure in the past) I guess.

    Tablets are a tool for consumption not production or creativity. They can be used for it in the same way I can stir my coffee with a pen.

    I would think given it's distance to target an LED being lit (if it had any) might be enough for slight attitude adjustment.

    Either way if it's forward velocity reduces to 0 we'll know we found the Oort cloud. :)

    Charlie Brooker's series Black Mirror did a story about this (3rd in the first season).

    Why are you trying to blame the readers when the problem lies with the advertisers?

    I'm just like most people.

    I dont have a problem with adverts where I get to decide if the advert interests me.
    I dont have a problem with bright or colourful adverts.
    I dont have a problem when I get to choose if I give you information.

    If you try to ram it down my throat I will block it.
    If you make it annoying or distracting I will block it.
    If you assume you can collect information I will block it.

    I am not data or a product, I am a potential customer. If you try to treat me as anything else I will block you.

  25. Re:reboot? on Lucas Says Ford, Fisher and Hamill May Return For Next Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Remake it seriously? Has the story not already been told and retold with how many versions on even more formats?
    Everyone will be disappointed with some parts that failed to live up to whatever fanboy expectation they happen to have.

    Instead of pissing away an obscene amount of money on one film that has already been told to death they could make 100 smaller films employing a whole load of writers, actors and crew. Thats a hundred new films that could become the next Star Wars.
