    Good answer.

  2. Re:Disable is disabled on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 4, Informative

    Correction. A few will let you disable them. Many will not, whether you uninstall updates or not.

  3. Re:Disable is disabled on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 1

    Nope. Disable is disabled. It will not let you uninstall them without rooting the phone.

    On my Galaxy S3, which is loaded only with genuine Samsung crapware, disable is disabled on those apps.

  5. Hitchhiker's Guide on Movie Review: Ender's Game · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hopefully they can make it as good as the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That movie was excellent.

    Supposedly the transactions are safer this way. I'd rather them meet online than on the street where I live.

    Thanks. I'll give it a try sometime.

    You can stream 1080 over YouTube? I've... buffering... never... buffering... been... buffering... successful... buffering... at it.

    This is the 21st century. We have female pilots now.

  10. Re:price. on Nintendo Announces $99 Wii Mini For US Release · · Score: 1

    Mini wiis aren't hardcore.

  11. Mini. Really? on Nintendo Announces $99 Wii Mini For US Release · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If that's not a setup for a joke about Japanese people then I don't know what is.

  12. Uncanny valley on Researchers Use Computer-Generated 10-Year-Old Girl To Catch Online Predators · · Score: 2

    Maybe some of them could tell by the pixels that it was computer generated.

  13. Re:Am I imagining it? on Stolen Adobe Passwords Were Encrypted, Not Hashed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There shouldn't be a Password Hint field.

  14. Re:Help me! I'm desperate. on Google Relying On People Power For 'Helpouts' · · Score: 1

    No kidding. How long before 99.9% of helpouts are for help masturbating?

  15. Re:And there's a whole series of comments at Ars.. on Ars: Cross-Platform Malware Communicates With Sound · · Score: 1

    The IT guy says I can't use my thumb drive. He's just being paranoid.

  16. Nothing new on Toyota's Killer Firmware · · Score: 1

    Car makers can and have been sued for defective mechanical designs many times. Now they're getting sued for defective and dangerous software and computer hardware designs. I don't think there's much of a difference between the two when it comes down to it. You were either negligent or not, and whether it's software, hardware, or mechanical stuff doesn't really matter.

  17. Re:that's not even wrong... on How I Compiled TrueCrypt For Windows and Matched the Official Binaries · · Score: 1

    You also need the source for the chips themselves. Maybe that's the weak link.

  18. Re:How safe? on How Safe Is Cycling? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Do you have any numbers to back up that claim?

    I call those people 'blind'.

  20. Re:Why should not the loser always pay? on Finally, a Bill To End Patent Trolling · · Score: 1

    I'm for more judicial discretion across the board.

  21. Re:Can't escape the laws of physics on 4K Ultra HD Likely To Repeat the Failure of 3D Television · · Score: 1, Troll

    I think you'll find your math ok, but your conclusions wrong.

  22. Re:Fix HD First on 4K Ultra HD Likely To Repeat the Failure of 3D Television · · Score: 3, Informative

    I agree. Compression is the primary issue here. Make the resolution 10k and it'll still look like crap because of the heavy compression. But if you're claiming to see compression artifacts on a blu-ray disc I think you need your eyes checked. Those usually don't use anywhere near the compression of cable TV.

  23. Faithful on 5-Year Mission Continues After 45-Year Hiatus · · Score: 3, Funny

    If it's faithful to the original then it's going to suck. A lot.

  24. Re:Well, he's not wrong on Tesla CEO Elon Musk: Fuel Cells Are 'So Bull@%!#' · · Score: 2, Informative

    The new infrastructure needed for charging stations is not anywhere near as great as would be needed if we switched to fuel cells for cars.

  25. Other kinds of fuel cells on Tesla CEO Elon Musk: Fuel Cells Are 'So Bull@%!#' · · Score: 2

    His comment applies only to hydrogen fuel cells. There are other kinds, and they offer higher energy storage densities. Don't let this guy's comments deter from the research.
