  1. Re:Yeah, who? on Google To Add 'News Feed' To Website and App (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    you can turn it off. It is a configurable option.

  2. Same here. I use sneakemail.com. Spam email stands out like a sore thumb. I flag the address for bouncing and give them another one. It does not happen often.

  3. Re:Good! on Rumors of Cmd's Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    It is not case sensitive bob. Just realize it follows a Verb-Noun format. I started using it since pre-release and admit it is extremely powerful. Its creation was a response to the Unix community commenting that there was no shell scripting. The end result is powershell. You can do darn near anything in it. You can even call the .NET framework directly and create a front end GUI that looks like any other application. The limiting factor is how much do you want to study and research the system. I stopped around 4 years ago and forgot so much I can't even use the thing now.

  4. Welcome the Ads on Major Browsers Add Experimental Support For WebAssembly (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Pretty darn sure they will work out a way slip in anti-ad blocking functionality.

    Geez. Wish I had mod points today. I'd spend all of them here if that was possible.

  6. I pulled up the report and saw Carson had an 'A' site. Out of curiosity, I found the site. they stated it had no store. What thu heck is this: http://store.bencarson.com/

  7. Opening Ceremonies on Advertising Malware Affects Non-Jailbroken iOS Devices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Let the griping begin. Queue the fanboys from both sides.

  8. Re:Gasp! on Big Pharma Hands Out Fitbits To Collect Better Personal Data · · Score: 2

    10 years ago I would have said you were delusional. 10 years from now it will probably be a reality.

  9. Re:Why would premiums drop? on Will Autonomous Cars Be the Insurance Industry's Napster Moment? · · Score: 1, Informative

    0 accidents and 0 tickets for the past 21 years. Defensive driving certificate for several years. My company still wanted to charge almost $1,100 for 6 months to cover 2 vehicles. one is a 2011 and one is a 1997. Told them to pike off and went with a reputable company. I am now paying around $400 for the same coverage. I totally agree. It has nothing to do with payout vs premium. It is more based on pure greed.

    or the Full Metal Jacket one.

  12. 70k for all on Seattle CEO Cuts $1 Million Salary To $70K, Raises Employee Salaries · · Score: 1
    From the article:

    While a campaign is underway in B.C. to raise the minimum wage to 15 dollars, a Seattle company is going to pay its employees at least $70,000 a year.

    Basically everyone (even the janitors) will make 70k. I'm sure the CEO will have stock and options in the company to make far more than 70k but his "official" earnings is the same.

    Hmmp. Guess that brain needs more caffeine. *With a high risk of killing people.

  14. too much crap on Facebook Successfully Tests Laser Internet Drones · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So I assume we can expect this airspace to become cluttered like LEO satellite space? The only exception is when these crash, they come down when I high risk of killing people.

  15. Re:Hmmm on RadioShack Puts Customer Data Up For Sale In Bankruptcy Auction · · Score: 1

    I always told them I was homeless. NEVER would give them a number except one time I grabbed their business card and told them this was my number.

  16. Yeah, Right. on Facebook Introduces Payment System · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Considering how often I see people get hacked, what happens when random hacker breaks in and send multiple payments to his launderer? How exactly does this get refunded?

  17. Typical Blame game on Google Error Leaks Website Owners' Personal Information · · Score: 2

    "Google blamed a “software defect.” Company officials could not immediately be reached". That sounds about right.

  18. Outer Limits on Google+ Divided Into Photos and Streams, With New Boss · · Score: 1

    Sounds a lot like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S... sadly enough there may be more similarities than we want.

  19. I would make several videos on the each subject with decision trees. You stated your wife is technology minded. She should be able to craft them into an interactive video format. e.g. the old books with a "Yes, turn to page x or No, turn to page y". Love them both much as possible while you can.

  20. Re:Cardholder services on Dish Network Violated Do-Not-Call 57 Million Times · · Score: 4, Funny

    I would ask them if they take a check.

  21. Re:Cardholder services on Dish Network Violated Do-Not-Call 57 Million Times · · Score: 1

    It is illegal. It is not enforced. Very much like speeding. You can speed all day long. A lot of people will catch you do it. Only the cops catching you matter. It will probably never happen.

    That would be New York, sir.

  23. Re:Homeland security would like a word... on How to Maintain Lab Safety While Making Viruses Deadlier · · Score: 1

    Sounds just like "I am Legend". That is some scary crap.

  24. Re:two factor ID based on cell phones is crap on Trivial Bypass of PayPal Two-Factor Authentication On Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Have you looked at sneakemail.com? I am not affiliated with them, just use their service. It describes most of what you are saying by segregating your primary email from the provider of service.

  25. Re:Crowdsourcing on TrueCrypt Cryptanalysis To Include Crowdsourcing Aspect · · Score: 1

    Sorry. It is hard to convey it written words but the emphasis for my sentence is on the word 'rebuild'. I would rather they rebuild it open vs closed source. Since I am implying a rewrite, it would be their prerogative.
