I'm surprised that the Pixma has that kind of power that it can run Doom. It's a pretty funny hack actually.

I'd like to see this system implemented in The States. It basically circumvents the school yard bully from stealing lunch money from would-be victims.

The Uber drivers refusing to pickup passengers is a big example of market forces in action. It doesn't take an act of government to necessarily effect change. Uber needs its drivers so that it can turn a profit. Uber's drivers ultimately determine the financial success of Uber. Uber can threaten and cajole all it wants but when the day is said and done, no pickups mean angry customers and no revenue.

I really like pfsense. It is FreeBSD based and very easy to setup. See http://www.pfsense.org/

Honestly, it's time to give up this embargo. It's antiquated, outmoded, and even a little bit hypocritical. We don't have an embargo with China and China is a communist nation. What could it hurt to drop the embargo?

Wow, that sucks but it's very funny! It would have been funny had the tables been turned as well. If it had been Apple paying the NFL and the NFL commentators calling the devices a Surface, it would be just as funny if not more so.

I'm not a great fan of passing additional laws but this one is just good consumer protection. On the other side of the coin, businesses should be able to have comments that are just ridiculous removed as there are some people you just cannot please, no matter what.

We need more competition in thr ISP market again,

the Nigerian 411 scammers is to simply give yourself the following test: "If it's too good to be true, it most definitely is." No one in their right is just going to wire several million dollars into your account in exchange for a small transaction fee. The best thing to do is just delete these emails. Or, if you feel intrepid, it might be fun to bait them along for a little bit.

The autoplay feature is very annoying! Here's to hoping that Facebook gets its collective head out of its ass and rectifies the situation.

I have a problem with Software Patent Trolls and those that patent stuff that clearly isn't innovative but no one patented it before. Patents were designed to protect true innovations, not for dubiously legal monetary extortion.

Or I'm thinking these hackers were blond and Polish! LOL! Caveat - I'm Polish and Jewish.

Yeah, less interagency data sharing is better given the propensity of government to abuse it! I'm right there with you!

I would really like to learn to code and a job doing it. I can setup and maintain LAMP stacks in my sleep. I'm just tired of the infrastructure side of IT.

This is nice to see and it is far more practical, in today's technology, than fusion. It's a way to keep existing technology working and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. I'm all for it!
