  1. Re:It's mostly a nuisance on UK Users Overwhelmingly Spurn Broadband Filters · · Score: 1
    From en.wiktionary.org:

    Etymology[edit]

    From Latin innocuus (“harmless”).

    Adjective[edit]

    innocuous (comparative more innocuous, superlative most innocuous)

    1.Harmless; producing no ill effect. [quotations ]

    2.Inoffensive; unprovocative; not exceptional. [quotations ]

    I agree with you that it might not be the best choice of a word. I thought it meant "harmless" only. Thank you!

  2. It's mostly a nuisance on UK Users Overwhelmingly Spurn Broadband Filters · · Score: 1

    If those filters blocked only porn and gore... instead, they block innocuous things like urbandictionary.com

  3. Re:Why do you want pieces of plastic on Netflix Reduces Physical-Disc Processing, Keeps Prices the Same · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't live in a place with inadequate bandwidth for a simple video stream.

    Easier said than done.

  4. Re:Propaganda for Chinese cell manufacturers? on China Has More People Going Online With a Mobile Device Than a PC · · Score: 1

    Now consider that most of people have nothing to hide from Chinese government. Soon, everyone without a "state-controlled phone" will be targeted for more scrutiny.

  5. Iron Sky on Preparing For Satellite Defense · · Score: 1

    Without military satellites, how can we protect ourselves from the Nazis from Moon?

  6. Shark? on NIF Compresses Diamonds With 50 Million Atmospheres of Pressure · · Score: 0

    So, if we can mount a NIF-like laser onto a shark, we can use it to transform diamonds into dust?

  7. Re:Irony on Bing Implements Right To Be Forgotten · · Score: 1

    Thanks, Mr. Michael. I've been wondering theses days where does the word "bing" come from. =)

  8. Re:Or, you know on Coddled, Surveilled, and Monetized: How Modern Houses Can Watch You · · Score: 1

    Good advice, sir. Already implementing that.

  9. Re:Christmas is coming early this year on TSA Prohibits Taking Discharged Electronic Devices Onto Planes · · Score: 1

    Because inevitably if you travel for any extended length of time your battery WILL be dead. Now visitors to our country start by throwing away their PHONE? Yeah, that's going to encourage tourism...

    They got me out with the nude X-rays.

  10. Re:Sad, sad times... on Study: People Would Rather Be Shocked Than Be Alone With Their Thoughts · · Score: 1

    Are you enrolled on Mensa? Maybe you are in the top 2%!

  11. Re:Well, of course on NSA Considers Linux Journal Readers, Tor (And Linux?) Users "Extremists" · · Score: 2

    It's frightening how close the US already got to the USSR of old.

    I don't know.

    I think the in days of the USSR, the citizens didn't believe the propaganda. Whereas a lot of Americans seem to think "why, we have to do this to stop the terrorists".

    Soon will come the time when they will not need to convince anyone anymore.

  12. Re:Analogy Sucks... on Austrian Tor Exit Node Operator Found Guilty As an Accomplice · · Score: 1

    (I know that the story is in Australia and this is in the US, but this sounds like a valid comparison.)

    I always wondering if someone would mistake Australia for Austria on /. and if that one would be American... Now, I've got confirmation bias :-P

  13. Has Mr O'Neal never heard of... on Following EU Ruling, BBC Article Excluded From Google Searches · · Score: 1
  14. Not all work was wasted on Alleged 'Bigfoot' DNA Samples Sequenced, Turn Out To Be Horses, Dogs, and Bears · · Score: 2

    Two samples, from India and Bhutan, matched polar bear 12S RNA—a surprising finding that Sykes is following up on to determine whether some Himalayan bears are hybrid species with polar bears.

    While it may look like a waste of time searching for bigfoot, something unexpected and interesting was found.

  15. Re:Cooked! on Neanderthals Ate Their Veggies · · Score: 1

    Thaks for you answer. I wish could make my rhetoric questions sound "rhetoric".

  16. Cooked! on Neanderthals Ate Their Veggies · · Score: 1

    It's not just that they ate veggies, they cooked them. Was there any other animal which we know that cooked its own food besides us?

  17. Betting on the winning department on First Phone Out of Microsoft-Nokia -- and It's an Android · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, Microsoft makes more money off patents they own on Android than they make from Windows Phone. Now they are just implementing on their Android business B-)

  18. At least-y, dey will be able to properly e-speak-y English-y!

  19. Re:Want to redesign it? get out of our email on Google Testing Gmail Redesign · · Score: 1

    I second that.

  20. Re:Why we are here...? on Astronomers Identify the Sun's Long-Lost Sister · · Score: 1

    I thought science had basically decided that we are here simply because we are not over there.

    ...and then proceeded to create a model to explain how we get here from wherever we come from.

    Gross! Now it will take me this whole week to recover my faith on humanity.

    I wonder how can an Android phone be safer than Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 6.X.

  23. Re:Rights are not things that are given on Brazil Approves Internet Bill of Rights · · Score: 0

    No doctor is forced by law to be paid the rate the government decides, unless he is employed by it. Their salaries are force upon them by their employers like every employee's salary is. We do not slave people with a degree here, we only slave unskilled immigrants, like the US do.

  24. Re:Rights are not things that are given on Brazil Approves Internet Bill of Rights · · Score: 0

    This is absurd, there is no "right" to internet service any more than there is a right to free healthcare, housing, MTV or iPads.

    You're wrong. In Brazil everyone has right to free healthcare.

    Nah, awesome has already been made.
