  1. 'Citizen-Fueled' on Alphabet's Nest Wants to Build a 'Citizen-Fueled' Power Plant (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Soylent Power: "The Power of People (IT"S PEOPLE!!)"

  2. But just the filing fees, never mind attorney's fees, would be about a month's rent, and I can't risk that kind of money just to find out whether there's a lot more money due to me or not. I asked several lawyers if they would look at the facts of the matter (neatly packaged by the involved lawyer), decide whether it seemed likely that they would win the case, and take it on a contingency basis if so, but none would even consider that.

    Payday Lawsuits? "Come on down, and let's sue somebody!"

  3. The most amazing part on World's Largest Aircraft Crashes Its Second Flight (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The most amazing part about that video: they recorded it in Landscape mode!!!

  4. What kinds of major errands have gotten in, then, if basic spot checks are getting failed?

  5. The fools! on NASA Reconnects With 'Lost' STEREO-B Satellite (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    When are they ever going to implement the AE-36 units??

  6. New York Post-worthy headline on FBI Investigating Russian Hack Of New York Times Reporters, Others (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    "Hacks Hacked"

    Never forget the New York Times was one of the loudest cheerleaders for the lucrative business plan called the Iraq War (subtitled: ISIS Awakens).

  7. Super. They can name it on Microsoft Apps Will Be Pre-loaded On Lenovo and Motorola Android Devices (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    "Microsoft No Space Left On This Devi"

  8. but refurbished phones typically are fitted with parts such as a new casing or battery.

    I'm sure a corporation so huge that its gravitational field affects governmental policy will do right by this lower income demographic.
    Back in the real world, it is very expensive to be poor.

  9. Dump the Mozilla name completely. The 'normies' you're trying to target don't know what it means, let alone how to pronounce it ("Moe-zee-ya?").

    You're welcome and I will be sending my bill, which will be about a tenth of what you've thrown away on these 'Style Maker' wankers, which I bet is easily in the mid to high six-figures.

    Non-profit, indeed.

  10. The $570 million dollar question on NSA Worried About Implications of Leaked Toolkits (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Now that their jewels have been stolen, will they still remain so arrogant to NOT release all these vulnerabilities so they can be patched? Or will their ego allow thieves to make huge bank off their wounded pride, with the entire first world laid low by the devastation? Also, cue the right-wing to blame all of this on Snowden instead of the proper source.

    Lastly, if the POTUS does not publicly demand the resignation of the senior management of this TLA, our suspicions will be confirmed: the NSA now answers to no one.

  11. The reason corporations fire American employees has always been replacing them with overseas or imported contract workers that they are not required to give any benefits nor wages commensurate to those of actual citizens.

    I do wonder how many US workers phased-out because of healthcare costs still praise Jesus that America doesn't have nationalized health insurance.

  12. Only one thing she *could* accomplish: saving the Supreme Court from being packed with right-wing, misogynist (but I repeat myself) psychos that by comparison would even make Scalia look like an actual jurist instead of the corrupt partisan hack that he was.

    Then again, I don't think a GOP-controlled Senate will ever again let any Democratic president appoint another judge at any level, let alone a Supreme. That is their most effective way of delaying (denying) true social progress in the USA - especially the overturning of Citizens United (the Dred Scott of the modern era).

  13. It won't be too long after such driverless 'services' are implemented when the organs of state security and corporations (but I repeat myself) will run real-time scans on a customers' finances; any found debts, back taxes, or warrants (real and imagined) will alter their 'final destination' to debtors' prison.



    What? It was all there in the half-point font EULA.

  14. Serious question. POTS systems are pretty much standardized world-wide, except for the numbering schemes between various regions around the globe. But right now, I can simply dial a number for virtually any country in the world, and it'll work.

    Except for certain parts of New Jersey Verizon no longer gives a fuck about (and is allowed to by a corrupt state government, along with an FCC that can no longer be bothered with mere copper).

  15. In other words, NOTHING online is secure, nor ever was.

    We're all wearing the Emperors' New Clothes; some of us just haven't been embarrassed about it yet.

  16. One World Governemnt on Australian Authorities Hacked Computers in the US (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Remember the right-wing screaming the phrase 'One World Government!' at the top of their lungs during the nineties?
    Well, Righties, it appears the extra-judicial organs of state security have already faited that accompli.

  17. Can I ask the people on the left, when did the left start to view free speech as being a bad thing?

    It started when they got so offended by opposing viewpoints that they started condemning them as hate speech, then adopted the mantra "hate speech isn't free speech"

    Depressing. On more and more topics, 'News for Nerds' reads more like the fevered rantings of Bundy's 'Patriots'.

  18. One. Year. on One Year in Jail For Abusive Silicon Valley CEO (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    In very demonstrable ways, the Silicon Valley 'judicial system' is far worse (and misogynist) than even freaking Texas.

  19. Re:Proof of China's Superiority... on China Starts Developing Hybrid Hypersonic Spaceplane (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, China and Japan have in history (up to very recent history in the case of China) copied, and stolen, plenty of stuff from the US.

    But before that, the upstart USofA massively ripped-off Jolly-Old English IP without a second thought.

  20. Don't tell us what Snapcraft 2.14 is or anything, I can't even begin to take a guess from the description.

    It's for running Snapchat inside Minecraft.

  21. Meanwhile on Google Play Store Drops Google+ Integration (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Still can't comment on YouTube without being forced to create a damn channel. Screw that.

  22. "Kowtow, bitches!" Karmic payback for the Opium Wars. But if the money is right, the money-grubbing Tories will rollover and take a big old puff off their masters' pipe.

  23. Hot spots seem to line-up with current and former military bases WHICH ARE NECESSARY TO KEEP US SAFE.

    Even back to the WWII-era Air Corps bases, spraying used oil to keep the weeds and grass in check.

  24. No Pocky for Kitty.

  25. Re:Time for a law change America on This Company Has Built a Profile On Every American Adult (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a different idea. I think Congress should pass a law saying such information always remains your property, and that every access of it for the purposes of making profit by any authorized entity must see you paid 50% of the gross revenue generated. Unauthorized access sees you paid 95%. Lack of payment by any company is regarded as theft, and will be prosecuted as a criminal offense.

    America is so effed-up, this might actually work *if* you were recognized as a corporation.
