    Good idea!

  2. Why don't they text potential murder victims? on Canadian Police Are Texting Potential Murder Witnesses (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Giving them a heads up would go a long way in cutting down the murder rate.

  3. Can't we sue Comcast to cut off thier Internet? on Comcast Sues Nashville To Halt Rules That Give Google Fiber Faster Access To Utility Poles (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The world would be such a better place if Comcast wasn't an ISP.

    I know this guy is trolling, but I actually want to try one of those sandwiches.

  5. Dick Tracy is rolling over in his grave on No One Is Buying Smartwatches Anymore (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    In the past that mostly had to do with Madonna, but now he is upset no one uses two way video watches.

  6. When the Macintosh first came out, it was based on Motorola CPUs. IBM didn't create DOS or Windows, they built the hardware standard around Intel chips. Later, they developed the PowerPC platform that Apple moved to with later Macs. Now Macs have moved to the the very Intel based hardware standard that IBM began. Not sure why IBM using Macs is such a big deal.

  7. Sorry, you can't store it, it's personal protected data!

  8. Communications probably cut by Ecuador on ESA Lander's Signal Cut Out Just Before It Was Supposed To Land on Mars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's just temporarily restricted.

  9. Re:Requirements for London Cabs? on London Insists on English Requirement For Private Hire Drivers (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    London Black Cabs are known for having extremely rigorous training requirements. They are trained on the city layout and must know the history of various landmarks. More along the line of tour guides than just drivers.

  10. All My Videos nolonger belong to us on 5-Year-Old Hosting Service AllMyVideos, No Longer Profitable, To Shut Down (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sorry to see it go.

    Imagine the increase in simultaneous hacking attempts that can be made with this new cable!

  12. Re:systemd on Fedora 25 Beta Released With GNOME 3.22 and Linux Kernel 4.8.1 · · Score: 1

    Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

    Microsoft has been looking for a killer app to get people to move to Windows 10 and Surface. They may have just found it. Way to go.

  14. 2 Million miles on the odometer! on Google's Autonomous Car Passes 2 Million Miles · · Score: 3, Funny

    They won't get much for that car when they sell it, it's hard to sell a car with more that 100,000 miles on it.

  15. Re:Where to now? on Verizon Workers Can Now Be Fired If They Fix Copper Phone Lines (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    You had a t-mobile wired connection? Impressive.

  16. Yes, that's a major design flaw. You should never get people involved. They might decide to actually do something.

  17. Re:Julian Assange is a KGB Agent on Julian Assange: All That Malware On Wikileaks Isn't a Big Deal (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Assange thinks the Obama administration is out to get him. And, since Hillary was Secretary of State, she is wrapped up in his conspiracy theory. Breaking into the DNC email system unearthed all the backroom politics to get Hillary elected. Breaking into the RNC would only get you all the dirty details on how they tried to STOP Trump, not get him elected. All that is already out in the open, so kind of pointless to release that.

  18. Re:How wonderful that on Researchers Restore the First Recording of Computer-Generated Music (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    It's the BBC. You're lucky they didn't use Quicktime.

  19. Band on the run? on The Microsoft Band Is Dead (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Lasted as long as Wings.

    Just what we need, another great way to create light pollution.

  21. Re:Not a problem on Pennsylvania's Voting Machines Are Running Windows XP (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is that early votes are counted last. Not sure how voting early helps.

  22. WhatsApp works over Wifi. Texts do not.

  23. Re:Call it the United Federation of Planets on The United Nations Will Launch Its First Space Mission In 2021 (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    But this is where no man has gone before...

    Put the HQ in San Fransisco. Get it started right.

  25. I always started at Radio Shack on 55 Percent Of Online Shoppers Start Their Product Searches On Amazon (recode.net) · · Score: 1
