I hear wal-mart's TV's are sold at such slim margins that some might actually be at a loss for obvious advertisement reasons...

But there are plenty of commercial displays out there set up in mosaic mode that are obviously not smart...

Who's making "TV"'s that are dumb? Sure, I could get a monitor set for HDMI 1, but I don't know of many that are 55" and have even half "decent" sound

Infrared would probably be better.... if you can aim the damn things safely.... maybe if they had a laser sight on them...

Hard to dismiss that as an unreasonable step considering a few thousand pagers distributed to suspected terrorists had a small load of plastic explosives in them a year or so ago!

I hope they took that damn kid into custody. If not for "hoax device" or whatever, then for his own protection from a couple hundred pissed off passengers.

They'll just put some high-gain antennas up so nobody has to worry about that pesky optical character recognition that might risk getting the wrong read on a plate.

"Oh you were a passenger? Thanks admitting you were an accomplice. Pay half the fine or identify the driver."

I hope his family is billed $10million/year for the headstone. And if he comes back as a zombie, not needing it anymore, he gets charged another $20 million.

Well, my Mac Mini (newest version) can run some IOS games. It's kinda neat.

And you should tar and feather me for doing a few micro-payments in one of them. I hate myself.

Nice to see a good-natured post/joke about an Apple product for a change.

Same answer every president, vice president, or any other gov. official has given in the last 15-20 years. The biggest thing that's changed is even the acknowledgement that Area 51 exists, and that's mostly due to a lawsuit from workers that were poisoned by trash fires there...

My friend sold wallstreet.com for $1.03 Million, and all I got was a lousy T-shirt.

My T-shirt said: My friend sold wallstreet.com for $1.03 Million, and all I got was a lousy T-shirt.

100% true.

I can't imagine anyone could have predicted a store that insisted on palm/fingerprint biometrics would meet mistrust and reduced demand.

If they hadn't encrypted everything so you needed a STB on every TV, it would have helped. Pay for cable service, hook up TV, get content. But no, even the local channels ended up be encrypted, so built-in tuners couldn't do shit.

A couple years ago, one of the base security officers in charge of making sure all his SP's/MP's/security guys/whatevers knew where everything (classified) was and how to get there fast... Including the big boys... aka nukes. So naturally to make it fun and interactive to stimulate learning, he dumped all the questions (and answers) into Kahoot, the Norwegian online trivia engine. (Or one similar to it).

My way of saying I'm a little wary of some of these officers using this stuff.

slashdot is awash in skeptics. And not just skeptics, the most closed-minded ones I've seen. I've seen MAGA supporters get better treatment on Reddit than believers in ET's here.
