Yeah, right....what could possibly go wrong?

- The built-in Wingdings font contains more glyphs. ...because...important, yes?

How will people be able to use drones to carry out remote executions at schools now?

@#$#@23

Actually I originally thought it had something to do with various Biblical verses some of which could, tenuously, be touted as a threat.

Would someone be able to explain the significance of those numbers (the ones that will get me arrested if I write them in this comment) because I seriously don't get it? Will we start arresting children learning how to count next...

I have an Android because my ex-Apple device got stolen at basically the wrong time between technology cycles and my pay cycle. I'd gladly trade my Android piece of crap in for something that does what I expect.

Yes; the less mentally ill murderers around the better. I haven't met a dead murderer who can murder yet. FFS you left wing nellies.

In Australia, when returning to the country at a major international airport one can go through the express lane. This uses facial recognition software to recognise one's face. However, in a passport photo one is not allowed to wear glasses and I'm significantly short sighted and can never actually see well enough to press the relevant buttons, get back in time and take my glasses off.

Ergo, I can only do it with glasses on and the machine's simply cannot recognise me.

Then, I have another problem as well, which is totally irrelevant to this thread but I'm an Asian looking guy (i.e. genetically Asian), in Australia with long hair (it's at least half way down my back). But I refuse to wear it in a pony tail like most other long haired Asian men in Australia and thus am easily mistaken as a woman. It doesn't hurt that I'm completely comfortable with my sexuality and refuse to participate in the sexist, male chauvinistic culture that would also identify me as a man.

So, all it takes is glasses to fool the machines and hair to fool the humans.

We will be able to REAL, OBJECT 3D models of men's penises - no longer will we all be 10 inch giants...

Maybe we need an integrated e-mail client, too...oh, wait. Hang on a minute...

might now be able to figure out how to identify criminals...

...this was the announcement of Perl 6's first release and instead it's about a parrot who cannot fly...

"We, Kansas, in detail is not." - translationing "Toto, we're not in Kansas any more" into Japanese and then back again curtesy of translation.babylon.com!

LOL

You mean learning how to actually program, where it's the algorithms that make the difference, is difficult? I thought I could buy this book (I have) and then figure out how to break the NSA's latest encryption standards on my iPhone :(

But wasn't the Titanic just a huge bike shed?
