  1. If you insist to em to look, they will not because they will suspect.
    Now if you insist to NOT look, like "it's just family pictures" etc.. then they will freaking look it.

  2. At least it's not D-Link.

  3. Re:Was always a backdoor on Intel Patches Remote Execution Hole That's Been Hidden In Its Chips Since 2008 (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Okay, can you audit the contents of the firmware of AMT to be sure it don't have any sort of backdoor or truly disable it?

  4. Lasers.. on Humans Are Already Harassing Security Robots (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Those robots don't have any means of defense, so they obviously will be attacked.
    But as soon they get a laser cannon that looks suspiciously like a plunger, and some close range weapons that looks suspiciously like whiskers, everything will be solved.

    Maybe 4 years of trump will be enough to give strength to the sane side of the thing.

  6. Re: AKA "snowflake syndrome" on Report Shows Another Diversity Challenge: Retaining Employees (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    And that's one of the big problems of having a "diversity quota" in the first place, you're basically branding anyone "diverse" as a bad worker automatically, even if they're actually good.
    Now if the test is actually equal to everyone and hard enough to filter out the bad workers, well, getting in gets you respect automatically as well because "you survived that hell".

    It won't be the SJW that will win in 2020, It will be the one that knows what the fuck he's talking about.
    Which means or the dems vote someone actually smart in as their candidate instead of some SJW lunatic, or they lose again.

  8. Hello, i am the system administrator. My voice is my password, verify me.

  9. As Bruce Lee said on Ask Slashdot: Do You Like Functional Programming? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 2

    Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it.

  10. And when it gets close enough, it kills you by displaying something horrifying and british, like noseybonk.

  11. Only retarded capitalists deny something that can save money due secondary reasons.
    Make recycling satellites profitable, and you will have several corporations doing it.
    But don't make it TOO profitable, or you will get freaking space wars over junk satellites.

  12. How well those corporations will run without consumers?

  13. Re:MSX on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    Mine was one of those as well, a Gradiente Expert DD-Plus.
    In brazil back then there was this massive tax on imported computers to "protect the national computers", and even to manufacture an international brand here would get it into this tax, so the story goes that the MSX was declared as a "video game console" to evade this tax.
    This machine in particular was quite neat because it came with a 3.5 inch, 720KB drive that was as all MSX machines compatible with the IBM-PC.

    So, could be said that is actually racism?

  15. Re:Bias bias bias on AI Programs Exhibit Racial and Gender Biases, Research Reveals (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    For fight or flight reactions its quite ok to judge by the appearance, but its wiser to judge by the "do it look like a local threat?" rather than "whats the skin color?", which in several cases might be the same, but not always.
    Let's say you will quickly judge someone that looks like an yakuza guy over some nerdy japanese, even with both being of the same "race".

  16. Re:Bias bias bias on AI Programs Exhibit Racial and Gender Biases, Research Reveals (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Racism is not just about hating certain people by their skin colors, but categorizing people in general by their skin colors.
    It's a very intellectually lazy way to deal with the world, which many people sadly do.

    Yep.
    But it is doing it quite twice, once by the event itself and another in the way it is being reported.

  18. Re:Bias bias bias on AI Programs Exhibit Racial and Gender Biases, Research Reveals (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Racists are quite hard to squash.
    Specially when they adopt a social justice discourse, still judging everyone by their skin colors but having a nice "those are the nice guys" written over the darker portion of their 1930 skin color measure ruler.

  19. And even worse... on Investigation Finds Inmates Built Computers, Hid Them In Prison Ceiling (cbs6albany.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    They found a pirate copy of doom on the computers, which is the thing that turned em into criminals.

  20. We can't accept that corporatephobes,bigoted trump supporters post such ugly things about minorities such as megacorporations and mega riches.
    After all, they're just 1% of the population and a lot of people hate em.

  21. The problem here is that people that are against muslims are against the religion itself, not the social class or where they did born.
    To be racist by your definition would be to give an OK pass to for example "white" middle class US citizens that converted into the radical islam, which is not the case.

  22. Yep. But the odds will be higher if you born in a place where the radical islam took over, which obviously means that if you take away the radical islam, you reduce or remove the people willing to blow up for allah.

    You don't need to be born in the middle east to explode yourself for allah.

  25. To be a racist, you need to believe there are different races in first place and classify people by those.
    Also "White racist" is a quite terrible statement, as its a racist affirmation by itself.
