Comment is this still going on? (Score 1) 348

doesnt anyone have anything better to do like, solve the worldwide crises or fight the terrerists ?
is it possible to block ? does actual child porn actually exist on the frontface of the internet ? not like i ever googled and accidentaly came across a link that led me to reportable imagery. Unless run-over roadwhores in sneakers and pigtails are considered
that, i think it would be way more productive if google tried to remove the first two pages of non-paying links on popular searches since about all of those lead to some kind of this-is-what-you-need-to-do-*keyword*-just install this (thing that will then download and install what you need in order to get to or install *keyword* but in fact replaces your search with something that gathers data and or installs a bit of malware on the side)
i dont think piracy sites need search engines anyway, i remember the days (dramatic music in the background ...) where people swapped floppy disks, maybe piracy was more like a social thing then and my ever-returning topic : im sure the old people in charge of copytrolling remember the days when home recorded cassette tapes were destroying the music industry and cost the beatles their third pool a year as well
i also still think that the cut in losses if suddenly all sites went down would be negligible since its far from proven that everyone who downloads a blockbuster or game would actually for out the money if they couldnt, no one ever really makes statistics on that
as far as uk-news goes i found the bit where the chief of police appeals to 'end the war on drugs' a lot more interesting anyway

im not even willing to think at whats possible when the security of something like this is breached
people reading data streams by capturing the flux of a led light on a piece of hardware from across the street, logins made to believe they got the right signal without actually entering a password, intercepting data streams to authenticate im sure no one here will come up with the idea that anything at all is ever completely unhackable

The way my laymans arse sees it. Human response time is limited because of the physical structure, flexibility and hulk of the body combined with the speed it takes for a signal to reach the appropriate part of the body via the nervous system. Somehow it seems possible to train this over time into reflexes. Excuse my lack of terminology i have these two systems named here in my big book as well as the speed of thought through the body but names and numbers are not the point here for me.
Other than that the capability of interpretation for a human brain far exceeds anything any supercomputer even today could muster. Let alone the physical impossibility to fit a supercomputer into a functional killer robot so in my educated guess id say a mind-machine interface here working on actual brainwaves that can be caught and used as signals might be the best solution for this (if at all possible with current technology).
a human 'pilot' could oversee a whole field of view in the proverbial blink of an eye and the machine could analyse the signals there, making it possible to (almost) instantly discard all non how do they say this, threats? offensive targets ? and effectivele shooting out everything but civilians. This would eliminate the need for human physical response and eliminate the lack of machine judgment.
since the japanese are keen on it maybe namco bandai or capcom could build the mechabotsim to rule them all while sony can make the rudimentary controller system, sponsored by the military it would be the best way for analytics to do something real and scout out the most promising gundam pilots at very young age
like what the f am i saying here, does it make sense?
now that i re-read it .. yea it does but i dont know if i would want to be part of it

the question is how come they're so fucked up ? here schools are trying to install a habit of scanning fingerprints to check attendance and what not. So by the time they graduate being in jail must feel pretty natural. So 'these kids' everyone talks about i wonder who they are. I think they're actually their own kids : insulted, criminalized, raised with little to no hope of a future by a generation who spent it all without a thought, then expected to take care of the financial hole THAT generation left behind. kids these days huh, all i see is less fighting, less drugs outside, less noise, less violence, less anything than when i was trotting about in the streets, people call police faster though. If i hear my old man talk about when he and his friends went out, well that sounds even worse ... less dope, no joints even, but violence and barfights every fucking week. kids these days huh

ads for dating oversized women, single moms, trips to london and turkey and laptops ... that's 1 out of 5 that could possibly interest me so i always thought since it doesnt seem to make a difference wether i use a vpn or not someone was just trying to be funny, after all, with the current state of affairs i couldnt possibly afford a laptop

Comment leaving out that statistics (Score 1) 459

it does make a little sense since every second you need to spend thinking about NOT HAVING money is a second wasted that could be used on creativity, self-improvement or in general thoughts that lead to less stress whereas the stress, which is afaik caused by incapability to adapt to changes fast enough, obviously prevents clear thinking as a whole. Yup, for once i shall grant my narcist credit to the overpaid, overdegreed basterdz overthere
