  1. Re:You know, at some point soon... on Netflix is Testing Even More Expensive Subscription Prices (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Many countries won't allow them in if they don't spend money to make local language programs.

  2. Re:Truth on Google Discontinues Chromecast Audio (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think he's kidding, I just think he didn't include "the problem FOR GOOGLE WITH OFFERING IT".

  3. Re:Data logging on Verizon Confirms That It Will No Longer Activate 3G Phones (droid-life.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if Verizon will resell any 3g capacity to MVNOs you might be able to use.

  4. Re:unenforceable anyway on Finally, Non-Compete Clauses Eliminated... For Fast Food Workers (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    The problem is not really the former employer suing the employee. It's the prospective new employer declining the new hire because they are in cahoots with each other.

  5. Too Little, Too Late on Telegram's Billion-Dollar ICO Has Become a Mess (amazon.com) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter how much money they raise, they have lost the race. Pied Piper's decentralized internet platform is already hosting partner web sites and processing compute tokens.

  6. Spaghettification is not a feature of event horizons, it is a feature of gravity wells. The spatial location where tidal forces turn lethal can be far below the event horizon of a very massive black hole, and higher for a small one.

  7. Correction, it does not need to be defended, but can impact damages awarded when a suit is won.

  8. Copy right needs to be defended or it is lost. Blizzard does have to do something. But I always wonder why in the world companies don't simply negotiate carefully worded licenses with fan projects to both protect their rights AND promote fandom. Just draw up a license that allows them to continue specifically running the server but not to charge money, but not to use the IP in novel ways.

  9. Re:The Actual Process on A Popular Sugar Additive May Have Fueled the Spread of Two Superbugs (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think banning honey will go down very well.

  10. Re:Seize the GPUs as well on China Plans To Kill Most of the World's Bitcoin Mining Operations (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin isn't mined with GPUs.

    I really wouldn't have expected an endeavor like that to succeed.

  13. Re:Oh so my 8 core AMD system will be upgraded fro on Microsoft Leak Reveals New Windows 10 Workstation Edition For Power Users (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Not cores. Sockets.

  14. Foolish Risk on Anti-Aging Start-Up Is Charging Thousands of Dollars for Teen Blood (vanityfair.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If you ever need an organ transplant, all those transfusions will lower your ability to find a good match. When my wife was on the list for a kidney transplant, she needed transfusions due to anemia, and MAN did they hold back as much as possible so as not to screw her out of a new kidney.

  15. Megacorps on Amazon To Build Homeless Shelter In Its New Seattle Headquarters (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have played too much Shadowrun to think this can be anything good.

  16. BASIC programs were published in magazines and I taught myself from their example as a child. My first Computer Science class years later in High School was TurboPascal.

  17. Re:none of the examples work on Stylebooks Finally Embrace the Single 'They' (cjr.org) · · Score: 1

    They both work, but you have to use the correct form. He, him, his are not different words. They are different forms of the same word.

  18. Already A Pronoun For It on Stylebooks Finally Embrace the Single 'They' (cjr.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    One wonders where one's language went.

  19. Re:In Other Words on No, We Probably Don't Live in a Computer Simulation, Says Physicist (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    To describe it as simply such is a bit dismissive. It is a provocative speculation that can spur interest, thought, and motivation to devise new experiments. I agree, it can be of some use.

  20. It's not ending support for legacy systems here, it's blocking new systems from having the updates it is still producing for older systems.

  21. I heard you like phones with your phone, so I got you a phone for your phone!

  22. XIM has been around for years. I was rocking a XIM3 on my Xbox 360 seven years ago.

  23. Hero Experiences? on Microsoft Gives Windows Device Makers Their 2017 Marching Orders (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    What are Hero Exp... OHHHHH! They're removing the headphone jacks!

  24. Re:MS Nutty aquisitions on Minecraft Has Now Sold Over 25 Million Copies on PC and Mac (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Wait... isn't it child abuse to buy a Wii U in 2017?
