    "News for Nerds, Stuff that Mattress". There, fixed that for you.

  2. What about cookie warnings? on Firefox 44 Deletes Fine-Grained Cookie Management (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1

    While I don't mind cookies that much I do mind the retarded EU-mandated cookie-warnings that keep popping on every site possible, Fortunately there is an addon for that too!
    I don't care about cookies 2.5.3
    Available for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and some other less popular browsers (no version for IE).

  3. Re:What do they think? on Isolated Tribes Die Shortly After We Meet Them · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What do uncontacted tribes think when they see our passenger jets and cargo ships? Gods?

    Yup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...

  4. Guns are the worst disease on Isolated Tribes Die Shortly After We Meet Them · · Score: 2

    "indigenous people die from smallpox and guns and other unknown diseases" Yeah, guns are the worst disease - there is still no vaccine for it.

    Bada dum tsss!

  6. Awesome tool for show-offs on Yota Phone Launches With Secondary E-Ink Display · · Score: 1

    Great! Now everyone on the bus will see on the e-ink display what I am doing on the LCD. All the private messages, photos, etc.

  7. Re:Maybe, but... on Piracy Offers Heavy Metal a New Business Model · · Score: 1

    Metallica cut their hair.

    So did Bruce Dickinson. And he is still fucking metal!

  8. Re:Ghost transactions on 195K Bitcoin Transaction · · Score: 1

    1000CHF notes are also available (1000CHF ~= 1100USD; 500EUR ~= 677USD).

  9. Wireless charging is available today! on EU Committee Votes To Make All Smartphone Vendors Utilize a Standard Charger · · Score: 1

    You can already charge your iPhone wirelessly - in a microwave oven!

  10. Re:Nah. on New Operating System Seeks To Replace Linux In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Linux Containers are matching all your points except 6.

  11. Re:Nah. on New Operating System Seeks To Replace Linux In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Why would you want a VM with only a single process?

    Exactly. There is no point in running a full blown OS just to virtualize a single app or process. Linux has an option for that, and it's called LXC (Linux Containers). Old Unices have that too: Solaris - Zone/Container AIX - WPAR HP-UX - vPar

  12. Re:Nah. on New Operating System Seeks To Replace Linux In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Hypervisors are generally much simpler than full-fledged kernels and have less attack surface, and so they are less likely to be successfully attacked.

    Yeah, just like VMware! It's a full-blown Linux OS with additional vmkernel module that takes over control as the hypervisor. Oh, wait...

  13. It will popularize finger-cutters on Can the iPhone Popularize Fingerprint Readers? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it'll popularize finger-cutting among iPhone thieves...

  14. We have some Sci-Fi in Poland... on Politician Wants Sci-fi To Be Mandatory In School · · Score: 1

    We already have Sci-Fi works on the supplementary lectures list for Junior High School students in Poland - Stanislaw Lem's "The Cyberiad" and "Mortal Engines" (polish: Bajki Robotów). Some years ago other books by Lem were on the supplementary lectures list for the last classes of primary schools - "Tales of Pirx the pilot" and "Solaris".

  15. USB 2.0??? on The Chromebook Pixel Is Real, and Expensive · · Score: 1

    Only USB 2.0 ports in a pricey 2013 laptop? Hello, the year 2000 called and wanted its technology back!

  16. Re:even more savings on Power-Saving Web Pages: Real Or Myth? · · Score: 1

    in case of hydroelectric: less water needs to go through the turbines

    Less power used = less power generated = less fuel used.

    But water is not used in the same way as coal is. Same amount of water enters and leaves the hydroelectric power plant. It's not destroyed in the process like fossil fuels. Using less energy from a hydroelectric power plant doesn't save water at all.

  17. Re:Plugin repository on MATE Desktop 1.2 Released · · Score: 1

    It's a pity that the Gnome 3 extensions page is a disaster. No search. No sorting by category. And most useful extensions are already outdated (=blocked) if you run Gnome 3.4.

  18. Don't fear to teach science! on NYC Bans Mention of Dinosaurs, Dancing, Birthdays On Student Tests · · Score: 1

    A nation that fears to teach real science is doomed to fail. Teachers shouldn't fear to teach about evolution, big bang, solar system, etc.

  19. Obligatory SMBC comic on Microsoft Patent Monetizes Your TV Remote · · Score: 1

    Obligatory SMBC comic: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2490#comic This is what will happen when you allow viewers to skip ads ;)

  20. Re:Digital Rothschilds on Schmidt: Google Once Considered Issuing Currency · · Score: 0

    "There are many such countries out there, but what has not been done to date, is a serious quantity of land to be bought by a serious number of citizens, an army mounted, and a genuine declaration of war" What about Israel? Isn't it how this country has been created?

    Bukkake squids FTW!

  22. What about UNIX copyrights and patents? on VMware Looks To Acquire Novell's SUSE Unit · · Score: 1

    What about UNIX copyrights and patents? Will they go to VMware, or to the other buyer which will buy the rest of the old Novell?

  23. Re:it doesn't make any sense because on Dell Drops Ubuntu PCs From Its Website · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't be surprised if MS made an offer to "more prominently" position Windows or grant Dell some "MS premium platinum reseller" PR-badge either.

    They already put "Dell recommends Windows 7" on nearly every page.

  24. Apple event in alternate reality on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    http://www.pidjin.net/2010/01/25/iwish/ I wish that would have happened at the Apple event... :)))

  25. Re:Why say more? on SETI@home Project Responds To School Firing · · Score: 1

    It's even funnier if you know Polish or other slavic languages. Niesluchowski seems to be a Polish surname and it can be translated as "not-hearing" or "not-listening" :D ("nie" = no, "sluch" = hearing). So it's no surprise that he didn't care about what SETI FAQs say. Disclaimer: IAAP (I Am a Pole) :)
