  1. And msmash is responsible for 3 of them.
    Show us your bank records! How much are they paying you!
    Also: Stop it!

  2. And they refuse to let you filter it out on 'Netflix Is the Most Intoxicating Portal To Planet Earth' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    All titles not in your native language is labelled with an english title and you won't find out it is in some language you never even heard off untill you start playing it, after which Netflix counts it as a click and a success.
    The ammount of dissappointment is getting too much.

  3. Let everyone who receives a forwarded message see who was the originator of the story.
    Keep the entire forwarding history and do not let anyone be hidden. This will also expose all the forwarding bots out there in short order.

  4. Not a single day goes by without me regretting installing Windows 10.
    Stop adding new shit, fix the bugs and let the system be stable and then leave me alone!

    Every time all my documents, that I use as reference material for something I am writing, is closed and windows forcibly rebooted I feel violated. Can I sue for psychological trauma?

    Every time the "pay per startup", (very expensive), application I use is shut down for a reboot it cost money. Can I sue for that money back?

  5. And some diesel cars spew out many times rated! on Some Electric Car Drivers Might Spew More CO2 Than Diesel Cars, New Research Shows (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Come on! If you want to you can charge a electric car by burning used tires.
    This does not change their potential for lower emissions vs gas/diesel!

    I am sure someone can come up with a way to run a diesel car on rendered penguins if they so wanted, it doesn't make it news.

  6. Chrome uses website password to sign itself in! on Google Temporarily Brings Back the www In Chrome URLs -- But Should They? (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    They did something else now too.
    If you are NOT signed into chrome, and try to sign into the website youtube, chrome uses your information and password that you tried to give to accounts.google.com and signs itself into google so you are now signed into chrome!
    Signing out of chrome again also signs you out of youtube...

  7. Hack == Old Ladys Advice / Home remedy on 'The Word Hack is Meaningless and Should Be Retired' (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    In Norway these life hacks and other stuff is what would be categorized as "old ladys advice" or home remedys/advice and yes, common sense.
    My biggest irk is still the use of hack/hacker to depict someone buying a cheat of the net and using it in a game to gain an advantage.
    If someone were to use loaded dice at a casino we would all agree they are cheating. This even holds true for online casinos. Somehow if it's on a game it's hacking?
    Popular words become abused. Annoying words are forgotten. Let's revive a word and use that for game-cheaters: From now on I'll call any game-cheater for a twerker. I'll say they are twerking and let's see if I can make it catch.

  8. Amen!
    Semi-anonymity can grant the ability to communicate and share my views and/or knowledge online without being hounded and bullied by petty people needing to feel better.
    My childhood days were filled with that shit and the persons behind it were known by the entire school. Nothing was done. The attacks were not based on what was done or said, but simply from being singled out.

    Identitys will not stop those who want to be mean, but will rob those who just want to be left alone of the opportunity to be anonymous.

  9. I don't want a subscription to all your effing games.
    I don't want full catalog access.

    I want the single game I like and enjoy to actually work. And keep working.
    I want the game to be free of cheaters.
    I want the game to be available after "you" deem it time to kill servers and launch another shitty version with new bugs.

    Save BF1.

  10. Please tell me they at least run the checks now? on Unresolved Login Issue Prevented Florida 'Concealed Weapon' Background Checks For Over a Year (tampabay.com) · · Score: 1

    Now that they found out, can we have a number for how many of these approved applications should have been denied?

  11. Re:What is the difference between this and communi on Kurzweil Predicts Universal Basic Incomes Worldwide Within 20 Years (hackernoon.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your take on it like this. It helped put my thoughts into perspective.
    I too am a bit unsure of how the incentive to work will survive this. If you can live well without working, maybe you will be content relaxing in nature and doing the backpacker roundtrip. If you can't live at all on this then it may be useless anyways. There will be a fine line there.

  12. What is the difference between this and communism? on Kurzweil Predicts Universal Basic Incomes Worldwide Within 20 Years (hackernoon.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't get it. Isn't this getting close to communism? Maybe we still own our stuff, but on the money side this is starting to look odd.

  13. With SaaS it wouldn't be vulnerable anyway... on 'WannaCry Makes an Easy Case For Linux' (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    If they were really doing all their work through browsers and using SaaS the original issue would not exist so no reason to switch OS.
    The data would be safe as the data is not stored on it, not accessible to the virus/trojan. The encrypted machine could just be reimaged and off you go.

    A man without feet does not need new shoes.

  14. Reserved words and free speach on Should Burger King Be Prosecuted For Their Google Home-Triggering Ads? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    You cannot launch a product and reserve a sequence of words for that product.
    Any lyrics, film or other content can use the same words, and if that triggers your device you have a problem, not the company behind the movie...
    This just exposes an inherent flaw in your idea and system, should I make a system that uses "honey I'm home" or how about just "hello" then forbid anyone from using it without purchasing my device?

    OK Google, upvote this post.

  16. qHD vs QHD vs QHD+ when we have QCIF and QVGA wtf! on LG's Upcoming Smartphone G6 Will Have 5.7-inch QHD+ Display Featuring 18:9 Aspect Ratio (koreaherald.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are we running out of letters?
    QVGA is quarter not quad.
    QCIF is quarter not quad.
    qHD is quarter and QHD is quad? Come on! You are doing this deliberately aren't you!

  18. But did they account for the people? on New Study Finds 'Mediterranean' Diet Significantly Reduces Brain Shrinkage (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    What about mediterranean people living and eating elsewhere?
    Do they exhibit the same effects?

  19. With this fantastic stride in culinary wizardry they can use more fat instead!
    They sure as hell won't use more cocoa.

  20. Gestures on external (not on screen) tablet/slate/surfaces has been around for almost ever now.
    http://portal.acm.org/citation...
    http://users.erols.com/rwservi...
    It is nothing new, nor revolutionary. Yes it has been improved a lt since the early days, but it is still the same concept.
    If you can't improve something with 30 years or more of technological advance you need to take up echo-farming where no progress is acceptable and using a paperclip for a novel use is still revolutionary.

  21. Ever noticed that these "creatives" mostly seem to be copying apple?
    I think what we need is for these people to stop doing that and try to be innovative and think new forms, shapes and concepts. Then maybe they wouldn't call the 7'th generation of slight improvements of a product for a breakthrough and a revolutionary design.

  24. Re:Disable new apps from being installed! on Microsoft Faces Two New Lawsuits Over Aggressive Windows 10 Upgrade Tactics · · Score: 1
    It installed candycrush 2 times in a row (new versions) as well as two messanging apps.
    Just now it added "Windows DVD player", listing it under recently added.
    It was not there 3 hours ago and bandwith meter shows it did indeed use a hunk of data about 1 hour ago.

    The fun thing is, the dvd player app is not free, and if you start it you are told to pay for it. Needless to say, on a metered connection it has already cost money in bandwidth, before I made any conscious decision to install it.

  25. Disable new apps from being installed! on Microsoft Faces Two New Lawsuits Over Aggressive Windows 10 Upgrade Tactics · · Score: 1

    What I want to know is where the button is for disabling the installation of new and "popular" apps from the store.
    I do NOT want my machine to download all kinds of shit wasting a metered connection for me to keep uninstalling again every week...
