I'm waiting for the day when we have an article titled "Driver-assisting cars targeted by hackers". Primary reason why even if I could afford a Tesla S that I wouldn't buy one. If my car has any sort of control over my acceleration or steering (excluding tire-specific traction control functionality) then that car had better not have any sort of internet connection. Tesla has the ability to update over the air... that is kind of terrifying.

While the article does make a good point... I find it happens very rarely. Or if it does its almost never vocalized.

It's a little like saying don't think like an English speaker or you're going to pedantically correct everything. Sure it happens, but it's not a lot of people that do it and among those its 1 in a million that actually do it to a point where it gets in their own way.

Feeling sorry for a TSA agent because they took the job just so they weren't poor and jobless is like feeling sorry for a Nazi. You always have a choice. Joining the TSA is probably the most debasing and anti-human thing you can do in America right now.

I totally hate active noise cancelation... I don't know whether it only gets out like 99% of the noise while leaving like... the outlines of a clipped out picture on photoshop or what, but it's hell on my ears. It just causes pain without any indication of whats causing it and that's incredibly unnerving.

I am getting sick of hot women, or even average women dressed like hot women, taking advantage of us nerdy men. It is simply degrading and dangerous to prey upon our one weakness.

What's up with their website? Press links don't work, their add to cart adds 2 and then pre-sets 3 different mailing addresses to what I assume is real people at real addresses... is this a legit thing? Cause I want some.

How did people ever get confused to the point where they think the Force has anything to do with the operation of light sabers? I've heard people say the Force activates it, shapes it, whatever. It's just tech. You only need the force to safely wield it. It is massless and saber against saber strikes cause intense backlash that you otherwise can't control. And of course you need the Force to block blaster bolts and stuff. Although in traditional pen and paper star wars you need the force to just swing a lightsaber safely. Non force sensitive users have a percentage chance to remove a limb :P

I think the author just wants a kiddy version of Windows :P Maybe we can name it Windows Portal (after the M:TG Portal expansion for new players). One that is not meant to be used in a professional environment and does not have any security things. It's actually not a bad idea. Just keep it very far away from me.

While this is an interesting idea, I find it a lot more fun to not have 2 people holding something you're playing with.

I wouldn't even have bothered to pirate it :P They're lucky they got 50k people to look at it imo. This method of playing went out... um... shit... with um... Crossfire? Hungry Hungry Hippos?

Um... I received that this morning but my phone was on silent so I didn't hear a damn thing. I did see it on my phone when I looked at it, but no big deal. Android was nice enough to say 'You just received an emergency alert. Do you want to continue receiving these? Yes/No'.

I feel bad for Canada. America is going to poison their society and culture... could you imagine if we somehow turned Canadians en masse from the kind and friendly people that we hear about to, well, Americans? We'd end up going to war within a decade.

No doubt. I would have been cloned just so they had enough bodies to put in gitmo, prison, and whatever the NSA torture dungeon that has yet to be leaked is called.

When I was young I had no idea that bitches in Canada be crazy and can actually send you to jail for talking shit.

This guy deserves a nobel prize. I wonder if society is aware that the hotter you are, the more people of the opposite sex will be attracted to you?

Was I the only one that read this as "JAV Apocalypse"? I don't want the Japanese Adult Videos to go away :(

Yeah. I was like okay lets pull my records, it'll be interesting. Then I thought okay maybe they pull them, it gets sent through some automatic scanning process, eg "Why does this person want their information pulled? Lets put it through our automated scan-for-suspicious-behavior machine. Oh what's this? The subject was in the neighborhood at the time of an unsolved case, lets bring them in for questioning and generally disrupt their life in a horrible manner"
