  1. "New, higher fan-requested gaming accessories" on Kinect Is Really Dead Now, Basically (gamespot.com) · · Score: 1

    What are those exactly? What are fans requesting? If Kinect was hated because it required bodily movement are the new devices going to be controlled by the undulation of fat folds and farting?

  2. Re:Fine on Paris Summit Finds New Money, Tech To Fight Climate Change (apnews.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No you're not. Climate change is climate change. Doesn't matter what or who causes it. At the end of the day we are getting bigger storms, bigger floods, and bigger disasters. You think the past 10 years have been bad? The US is going to spend trillions rebuilding cities and infrastructure or else face succession of multiple states that are pissed about FEMA fucking up over and over again. You know what? Just get a blue crayon so you can start filling in those stars. You should be able to afford that.

  3. Don't they have problems already? on YouTube to Launch New Music Subscription Service in March (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    e.g. The issue with child content videos having adult/sexual content. De-monetizing/banning science/technology channels.
    Shouldn't they fix those problems before adding to the pile? Said no one at the board meeting apparently.

  4. The MarySue? on Critics Debate Autism's Role in James Damore's Google Memo (themarysue.com) · · Score: 1

    A trusted source of unbiased news if ever there was never one. HA HA HA!

  5. Re:Preaching the AI religion on Does the Rise of AI Precede the End of Code? (itproportal.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    You've never heard the job title "technology evangelist"?
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  6. Re:Yet another example of why we need Rust on Equifax Website Hacked Again, this Time To Redirect To Fake Flash Update (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Everybody says that about every new language, every new technology, every new half-baked fart out of Silicon Valley. But Rust wouldn't of stopped the LinkedIn breech. That was the doing of idiots that stored plain text passwords in the database. Rust won't stop the noobs.

  7. I don't get how they have one for Literature on Why Is There No Nobel Prize In Technology? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I especially don't get that they gave one to Bob Dylan. A man who's bean is so dark roasted he can only speak in gibberish.

  8. You make me hope Escape from LA is accurate. on The Problem, Really, is This Thing Called 'Disruption' (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe then, out from under the technological oppression of Silicon Valley, the tech industry can move forward.
    So yeah, the only disruption was two idiots claiming they just invented the vending machine/automat.

  9. Facebook adding a new button is a major news story?

  10. Anybody actually read this? on CNET Warns 'Everything Looks Like A Hack' At DEFCON (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Because it was clear about the fact it wasn't a hack but part of a planned advertising campaign.

  11. Is there anyone left in India on India is Betting On Compulsory Internships To Improve Its Unemployable Engineers (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    to do non-engineering jobs? Like tradesmen or cooks? Do they have to give visas out to foreign workers to come and work for them?

  12. Re:MySpace? on It's Trivially Easy to Hack into Anybody's Myspace Account (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    I imagine no one responded because the one sysAdmin is now just a skeleton in a locked closet, hunched over a desk, killed when his CRT monitor blew up in his face.

  13. Re:Cuck alert! Cuck alert!! on We Need To Reboot the Culture of View Source (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    Is this a concerted effort on your part to get AC comments done away with? Translation: You trying to fuck it up for the rest of us shithead?

  14. Re:Visa isn't the main issue for Canada on Canada's Play For Immigrant Tech Talent (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    What city? Edmonton?

  15. This show could get interesting... Holmes in every passing year has gotten more bug-eyed and crazy. Maybe she'll crap in her hand and fling it at the kids.

  16. Re:Congrats/kudos (sincere), but... apk on Raspberry Pi Wins UK's Top Engineering Award (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's a human, I think it's just a bot that generates shit posts.

  17. Is there any professional industry as unstable as IT? Some don't exist anymore but are there any super unstable ones?

  18. You saw that scene in Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces did you?

  19. They still have possibilities on Fidget Spinners Are Over (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 1

    A major toy manufacturer might market then and make a horrible cartoon based on them.
    Fidget Battle Xtreme! "Sanada, a Japanese zombie samurai, who is in possession of a fidget spinner that he stole from Sun Tzu, plans to take over the world with it's spinning power
    The only ones that stand in his way are the students of Fidget Spinner Academy. Only they can begin to master the ancient magical fidget spinners of destiny."
    There's a lot of exploitation left here.

  20. What's the purpose of this acquistion? on Amazon Says It Won't Replace Whole Foods Cashiers With Computers... Yet (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Whole Foods is all hippy-dippy Earth loving stuff I thought. What would Amazon want with that? It's like Walmart buying out an Amish quilter and saying they have no plans for a factory. No duh! They can't go high-tech, it would defeat the purpose of why it was successful in the first place.

  21. Worked great for the History Channel on Apple To Soon Let Podcast Creators and Advertisers See What Listeners Actually Like (sixcolors.com) · · Score: 1

    or so ancient astronaut theorists would have us believe.

  22. Re:Making American Great Again on Lowe's To Lay Off About 125 Workers, Move Jobs To India (go.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    "All laid off IT workers will be given lifetime employment in my coal mines." - King Donald

  23. Nav Canada is only for the navigation system. Canada's FAA is TCCA. TCCA is a branch of Transport Canada. Transport Canada is still part of the government. The issue here is not navigation, it's things like... How old can a plane be before it needs to be retired? What's the least amount of maintenance that needs to be performed on it? Why do we need seats on the plane? Why can't everyone just stand up and hold a bar like on a subway?

  24. Kill two birds with one probing on Your Face or Fingerprint Could Soon Replace Your Plane Ticket (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Use anal scans and you'll be cleared automatically by security.

  25. Re:Should I even bother? on Startup Uses AI To Create Programs From Simple Screenshots (siliconangle.com) · · Score: 1
