  1. Re:APT? on First-Ever UEFI Rootkit Tied To Sednit APT (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Like the Linux kernel talking about DRM. Digital Rights Management or Direct Rendering Manager? Clear as mud.

  2. Re:The number one reason I like... on Mozilla Says Ad on Firefox's New Tab Page Was Just Another Experiment (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Post packet capture logs of this behavior. Put up or shut up. Mine opens up a blank tab.

    Where in Chrome are you seeing ads?

  4. Just noticed that the admins deleted the spam comments along with my reply. I thought comments were only deleted here by court order like when Scientology came knocking?

  5. Re: Don't understand ChromeOS at all on Google is Working on a Fix For Laggy Tablet Mode on Chrome OS Devices (9to5google.com) · · Score: 1

    1/10 super lame.

    Same here. My parents have had one for years and it just always works. Never had an issue.

  7. Re:Here goes the Sinophobia again on China Gets on the Bandwagon To Provide Global Satellite Internet (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    That and usage of the word gaslight.

  8. Firing up my pirate transmitter. Tune into 6925KHz.

  9. The cops will say its a civil matter and tell you to see the magistrate.

  10. None of the state agencies here accept cash. Good luck getting your drivers license.

  11. I really have no idea what is happening in that second paragraph. Can anyone care to rephrase this for someone not familiar with its development?

  12. Re:And here is a reason on FCC Says It is Investigating CenturyLink 911 Outage · · Score: 1

    Around here the local cops say to call 911 to contact them. I've called it a few times to deal with assholes and their barking dogs.

  13. Re:Brought to you by Michelle Malkin, on 'Beware Silicon Valley's Gifts To Our Schools' (nationalreview.com) · · Score: 1

    We seem to be getting story after story about San Francisco and the bay area.

  14. Re:environmental damage ? on New York Sky Turns Bright Blue After Transformer Explosion (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    The blue was just arcing. As for damages most transformers are filled with mineral oil.

  15. You seem overly concerned about that.

  16. Re:LOL ... love these stories ... on Users Report Losing Bitcoin in Clever Hack of Electrum Wallets (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Half the time the police steal from you. Get pulled over and have a few thousand dollars on you? It's assumed to be drug money and confiscated under civil forfeiture. You'll get it back eventually after getting a lawyer involved.

  17. Alternatives? on Plastic Water Bottles, Which Enabled a Drinks Boom, Now Threaten a Crisis (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Its piped into my house and costs pennies a gallon. Good luck finding a public water fountain these days.

  18. Does it even make sense to use NVMe? Does the processor have that much throughput?

  19. Re:What are you people whining about? on 'Two Years Later, I Still Miss the Headphone Port' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    That's even worse. Now you're consuming batteries.

  20. Re:What are you people whining about? on 'Two Years Later, I Still Miss the Headphone Port' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    The fact that a once passive device now needs a battery. Headphones sat for a month and the battery died? Can't use them until they charge.

  21. Re:I don't think so on Tech is Killing Street Food (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    San Francisco probably smells like Bangalore https://www.npr.org/2018/08/01...

  22. Because there really isn't a way to quickly kill such a large animal.

  23. Ah yes "research" whales that just happen to end up in the fish markets.

  24. Re:The "Prime" labeling is what is getting diluted on 'Amazon Prime is Getting Worse' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    I see things listed for Prime shipping with times of over a month!

  25. Re:Not really sure.... on Using Data To Determine if 'Die Hard' is a Christmas Movie (stephenfollows.com) · · Score: 1

    For me its Eyes Wide Shut.
