I just tried to change my password on paypal, it's the usual where you can't see the password your typing and you have to type it twice.

Now, normally this wouldn't bother me because I use a random password generator to come up with something like 9rf3-3f0g6#p6ebIn!Hg.

Except paypal says I can't paste the password in, I have to motherfukking type that long complicated shit in TWICE. FFS.

So, I didn't change my password, well done Paypal you stupid fucking idiots.

Thank fuck eBay doesn't do this.

It may be able to look in every direction at once, the problem is that it barely has a clue about what it is looking at. My understanding is that to test the cars in mountain view, Google made a finely detailed 3d digital map of the whole area, why - because the algorithms are not very good at recognising things. So, will they make a similar digital map of every other road in the world they the cars might travel and how will cars deal with off-road.

Motorways are pretty simple, unlike the streets of some old cities - this is where I would expect autonomous cars to have difficulties.

Because if we fuck up playing with genetics we could wipe out the human race overnight. Or create species that we can't get rid of and end up replacing good species that we want.

I'm waiting for T-Rex island and dodos, they look cool. but no more... except triceratops.

And to whom would the phone companies send the bill?

The NSA.

D.O.B. should never be used for security as it is public record.

My bank uses it as a security question!! Fucking idiots.

Normally I make up a D.O.B. and stick it in passwordsafe with other info, my pet dog 86igwsv3fmyqeu agrees that this is a good idea, so does my girlfriend who I met in Antares!

Why would anyone need a fast lane if the internet is working?

Video streams at a small fraction of the speed of a good internet connection.

Obvious extortion is obvious.

Every user that downloads and uses Firefox supports Mozilla financially. Why do you think google pays them hundreds of millions of dollars?

"Users want DRM"

Users don't have a clue about DRM until it affects them, just looks at the reviews on PC games which have onerous DRM for users opinion - they hate DRM.

Yeah, my understanding is people didn't like him because he bribed politicians in order to have some peoples freedom curtailed.

Will this 'lesser evil' have a unique ID?.. Based on your hardware?

If so, goodbye privacy, it'd be the super-cookie to end all super-cookies. Websites could demand you run ads and use the DRM to make damn sure you don't disable them. All privacy tools would go down the toilet as useless.

That is the danger of DRM, along with the potential loss of all fair (re)use, anonymous speech and even free speech.

More, better DRM is never a good thing. Long copyright terms need to die and DRM needs to die with it.

We don't think it is better or safer.

DRM is a huge danger to free speech and breaks fair use and public domain.

Bollocks, one day I'll learn to read.

Stupid poll anyway - 'autonomous' cars don't have drivers.

Next poll:
Should new laws be passed to hold mountains responsible for the people that fall off of them.
[ ] yes
[ ] no

Like totally missed the elephant in the room there.

[ ] Regular MOT type tests to show that the car is in good working order and that the autonomous systems haven't been interfered with (to allow speeding, murder attempts etc).
